beloveds i made another uquiz: what gemstone is at the core of your being?

[seventhratking]

i wrote this in the car

i feel like im walking into a warzone. i press my fingers into the bruise on my neck, at the point my jaw drops and slopes like a cliff. i like the way it still hurts, even a few sunrises later. it’s faded a little, which i know is good, (the generals wouldn’t approve and my fellow soldiers wouldn’t understand). but still, i wish it looked how it feels, like a brand burning with rosyblue light. someone hurt me like they had a right to. someone braided their desire into the thin blood vessels under my skin like flowers in my hair. i twist the stringtwine bracelet holding my wrist together. the sunset strands rise and fall like the canyons that crown the desert. like a thermal map of non-linear healing. it is obviously handmade and not colours i would have picked for myself. it broadcasts like a signal flare that i am loved. someone gave me their time ringed in coloured thread. someone thought of me brought art into the world. i hold it together, and i touch my hands to my ladies’ favours as my heartbeat slows. i am spoken for. someone wants me. someone is waiting for me back home.

i. i learnt to darken my baby hair into a moustache with $3 eyeshadow and a paintbrush

ii. i didn’t cry (because of the hormones) but all at once my body didn’t feel like something i had to carry around with me. it felt...

iii. emergent.

i made a uquiz instead of doing my creative writing assignment: which talisman i always keep in my bag are you?

quick tw for self hatred + unreality

even my words are lost to me slipping and skimming over my shiny insides i just want rest. i just want peace. there’s nothing left for me i’m alone and alone and alone and alone im only going to bed cos i can’t stand the guilt

touched by a rose behind my irises a second heart glowing mycelium chains trapped, controlled or gilded crown?

[seventhratking]

i gave up for the first time eyelashes tangling threatening to burn i promised i’d remember it isn’t the same

i cry like breathing learn to be amphibious the salt tastes like home
