shit haiku

bits of my brain are falling out and landing on this page 17 syllables at a time

[morsusengel-blog]

a plant may grow until the walls of its home push against its roots. so sometimes, it is necessary to replant- to uproot entirely,  and hope for a fresh start. not every home will foster growth in the same way, when you feel yourself outgrowing your place in life- uproot, replant, and let yourself grow.

do not constrain yourself |(morsus engel)| (via morsusengel)

ROSES

I have grown, and changed,

my shoots and roots spread wider;

and my flowers no longer fit

in this 5x7x5 box.

this is still a format I love,

and I know i never committed to this account,

and never had a following,

but this is me clipping this bud,

and growing in a new direction.

[shithaiku]

Healing

Your approval still

Means a lot to me but it

Isn’t everything

[shithaiku]

My brain is sad & empty

I don’t write many

Haikus anymore. I guess

I’ve run out of words

[shithaiku]

miserable cake

I didn’t think I

Could be trapped in this many

Dimensions at once.

sitting on the couch with an empty container that once held ice cream

[shithaiku]

I miss people like that

Yes, I want you to

Be happy, but I want to

Be happy with you.

[shithaiku]

Capitalism

How do you know if

it’s broken, if you have not 

seen it all brand new?

[shithaiku]

Actions speak louder than words

No. People do care.

They tell you when they wait for

You to look at clouds

[shithaiku]

Bed

I need my duvet

To keep me weighed down. It makes

Me feel less anxious.

[shithaiku]

Wow how emo.

It's weird that no one

Cares now. I guess that no one

Ever did really.

[shithaiku]

Crippling fear of disappointment.

I'm scared to get too

Excited, because most the

Time things end up shit.

[shithaiku]

Marriage doesn't last

And then the world you’ve

Built around you crumbles, and

You’re left with nothing.

[shithaiku]

Dress Code

I’m scared of the gap

Between my jeans and my shirt...

But I’m not sure why.

[shithaiku]

I’m not used to thinking

I’m up and I’m down-

I’m okay, and then I’m not.

where am I going?

[shithaiku]

slowly but surely-

baby steps. Every time I

see you, it feels less.
