Welcome

Welcome to the circus

Where you’ll find

All sorts of shows

And roller coasters

Staring with self doubt

How to not hate myself

How do I even adult

And don’t miss our famous coaster

Identify crisis

POMPEII

Imagine everyone in silence—

As the Earth groans beneath, and

White ash clouds creep heights above

Hear the fleet of frantic footsteps

Slapping against the pavement

Mother, father, son, daughter,

Sister, brother, husband, wife—

The hearth destroys

What it once gave life—

With their wet eyes wide open—

And closed mouths trembling

In a fit of rage against the surrender,

As they swallow flakes of fire,

And the breath of life

Becomes the gasp of death

she takes him in her hands 

and maybe he doesn’t feel so worthless.

maybe he could do this for her,

anything for her.

and he’s never felt more important

than he does when her fingers trace his face.

or more loved 

than when her lips meet his skin.

she makes him believe 

in the good inside him.

she doesn’t know that it’s her.

she’s all the good there is.

he knows he’ll never deserve this

no matter how many times she assures him he does.

he could never deserve this woman,

this happiness.

but when she holds him and smiles

and it doesn’t seem real

he wishes he did.

for her // s.w. (11:20pm)

LoveBug

I feel like everyone’s caught the lovebug

Everyone’s infected

Everyone’s sick

I’m isolated in a sea on partnership

I feel guilty for this envy

Discrimination for my green skin

Riddled with shame from this feeling

Desperately praying to bleach my skin

Alone in an ocean of duos

Loneliness filling every hallow bone

A cold ache flowing through me

Frozen and alone.

Lately I’ve focused on me

And my depression

I’m feeling partly like this

Because I just had birthday

Not being where I want to be at 27

Makes me feel depresssed

Along with my other life failures

But I also noticed

How selfish I’ve been

With those who surround me

And their daily life struggles

I’ve been a bad friend

Just worried about my mental state

I feel the like weight of my problems is too much

That they’re dragging me down slowly

I just recently saw an old friend

Lost a sibling

It hit me hard seeing how selfish

I was to close myself from everyone

There are bigger problems in the world

And to think my problems were the worse

When clearly they’re not

I’ve been here having a pitty party

For a few months sulking

In all reality I feel even more guilt

Because I haven’t been thankful

Thankful that I have

Both my parents

All my siblings plus their kids

I’m full of blessings I’ve neglected

I’m so fucked in the mind it makes me sad knowing what I need to do to fix everything, but I can’t bring myself to do these things. No matter how much I desire to fix it I can’t seem to do it.

Sometimes I think is it just me

The one who doesn’t seem to let go

Maybe doesn’t want to let go

I can’t really tell

What I can tell is that

I feel like I need some help

Profesional help

The kind of help that will help me say farewell
