Raven's Writings

poetry / bits of songs // all by meee

[ravenshivers]

Raven flying, Nixie swimming. Both learning, Churning out.

Alice teaches, Wonderland shows. We bleed blue and purple

into swirling water; We hope you'll stop to see it.

Before long we'll be gone; Our words will live longer.

Forever in space, our words make us stronger.

Women we are, born from stars. We hold galaxies inside.

Confidence ensued. Pride unremoved.

Raven — half of this duo, is here to show you.

What's inside her side? Darkness? Or light?

The ultimate battle, inside her mind.

[ravenshivers]

in the fray, in the madness

we know inside we are a mess

we may be sloppy, manic

sometimes depressed, a bit pathetic

but we know who our individual

and collective souls are,

our speech spit out in a

semblance of rhetoric . . .

. . . sometimes we fit in but

mostly it's us battling them

refusing to live the grind

trying to find peace of mind

a piece of ourselves will live on

in what we leave behind

(part of 2nd verse & end of Outro)

from a song. obv. one i wrote. (obv lol)

[ravenshivers]

V2:

I wanna be a Queen but I always bust

Can't find an Ace to stay

Suppose I shouldn't play?

I'd be overjoyed to meet a Jill

Blue or Red, White or Black

But she is just as elusive

As a fucking Jack

I tried poker instead

I tried, I played my hand

Choking me, Choking me, and the smoke

I left the table each time flat broke

. . .

Not a coin left

apparently something is happening in my head.

[ravenshivers]

at 23, i was so thirsty

for knowledge. i searched,

in all places wrong.

i didn't find it in a strong

bottle — the truth's

not hidden in 80 proof.

Dear Butterfly; Dear Dragonfly,

Because of you, I have to lie. Have to pretend I'm fine.

You've helped me to identify, to find my kind. But why?

Something I wonder every day. The price I have to pay

simply to be me. Don't you care? Can't you see?

I'm not one to cry out, "Why ME?" —not specifically.

I know that I do know the why. Your wings; they've helped me fly.

But it's always half truth and half bullshit.

Sometimes it overcomes, and I can't handle it.

You know me well so I've not much more to say but

there are times I wish you two would fly away.

But, I know you'll forever stay. Grow more attached.

Leaving me dog sick, nerves wracked.

The only alternative is death.

And I'm here. Here for each and every breath.

My future is now and that is where I shall live.

Thank you for helping me learn what I can give.

[ravenshivers]

dim stars in the sky, a tequila moonrise

maple syrup's swirling 'round in your eyes

it moves in time to the motion

of the honey in mine

my love, i gotta tell ya, i'm feelin' damn fine

my blood is warming up, a cool cocktail or two in

there's just something 'bout you

it battles me and, baby, you win
