Pastel

[dolores-hazy]

Sublime

Hearts and souls aligned

Gushing over interests and passions

Sunsets, sunrises firing up the sky

Rainbows after damp and drear

Birds resuming their choral stylings

Butterflies, dragonflies wafting by

That song you forgot you loved on the radio

Fresh baked goods fragrantly filling the air

Settling into a cozy seat

Feet tucked under, nose in book

Discovering a new binge-worthy show

While eating an old standby treat

Game nights spent with good friends

Reminiscing then making new memories

Finding love over and over again

And not least of all, within

#REDFORKASHMIR

Please, please show your support for Kashmir. Keep Kashmir in your thoughts and prayers but as well as that please spread the word, and speak up against the atrocities that are taking place. There is no way for Kashmiris to communicate with the outside, we’re only getting occasional updates from my uncle and its chaos there. Kashmir has been suffering under the hands of India for so long and too long, and has never ever received the appropriate response or recognition from the international community. This is my land, my people, my heritage, my family.

sad sad sad and oh so special

you are so unreal that you are fake

and I would like to say congratulations

you are sad sad sad and oh so special

and oh yes, much different than the others

And you deserve all the pity mustered up  

you deserve leniency

you are sad sad sad and life is hard

love doesn't exist patience has run out life isn't fair

and you are so unbelievably sad sad sad

and there's no point you feel dead

yes, you are a waste of space

and energy

you don't add to the existence of happiness

or even to the economy

a lack of your existence probably wouldn't hurt anyone

you are more of a problem than a person

and you are sad sad sad  

and you decide it's competition

who is the darkest the saddest the loneliest

the most depressed the most likely to kill themselves

you are determined to win

and you make sure everyone knows

you are sad sad sad

and oh so special

Permission

i wanna eat burgers and drink milkshakes at one am

i wanna go on midnight runs and smoke weed in the park

i wanna blow holes and cuddle on couches past curfew

and i don't wanna have to always ask you

developments

i have at least two tests every day this week that are weighed heavily. I’m so stressed, but I feel like I shouldn’t be because some people have it worse off and this week has just been the worst. it’s been getting worse. everything feels grey.

last 7 months: have randomly said and wrote in multiple languages things like “i want to die” seriously but subconsciously?

last 4 months: haven’t been able to go to sleep without crying and after a week, thinking about suicide

last 3 months: sitting up right before falling asleep because i keep thinking of how terrible i am and how much i want to die

last 2 weeks: now i even wake up thinking of how much i want to die and how useless i am and more throughout the day

much love,

tara

Lunar Dawn (by Dustin Lefevre)

my mother’s sister

recently fractured bones confined in a tight, sticky neck brace

and a heavy maroon sari weighing down on her ninety pound fragile frame

we watched 

the shaadi of an unhappy bride and intoxicated groom

The Time I Chopped Half of My Hair and Myself

I read

cutting hair

is a cry for help

intentions never intended

my rage

my desperation

beating heart and sweating palms

divided in two

fist full

and before i knew

the act was done

lengthy brunette locks, now above my shoulders 

shorter than intended

my reflection more broken than ever

i told the story

to everyone

as a brave spontaneous

teenager with angst

i read

cutting hair

is a cry for help

so why didn’t anyone

help

[tannerjolson]

we remember because

we cannot forget

we continue because

we will not stop

and together we will

dance in the misery

celebrate in the pain

and rejoice in the darkness.

there’s something spiritual about the way you spill your soul to me.

[reynabiddy]

sometimes i feel like i can be toxic to the people around me. i harbor so many ill, shitty feelings inside, and eventually i just pour them all onto everyone and everything surrounding me. of course i don’t mean to.. but sometimes i have no control over it. or.. over myself i guess i should say. i try to be - and stay - as positive as humanly possible, but fuck. i’m so tired. i’m tired of never having an outlet. i’m tired of being everyone else’s outlet and not being thought of in return. i don’t mean to be sad all the time but i genuinely can’t even help it. i could probably get better at attacking problems and situations as they present themselves so that i don’t always do these massive blow up things. but.. i haven’t reached that point of detachment just yet. i’m still working on me. still a work in progress. hopefully, i get better. at being a better person. soon. or someday, atleast.
