hi all! i made a side blog for posts that don't involve writing (art, photography, reblogs, etc.)

thank you for being here! i'm terrible at putting my thoughts into words, but i like to try sometimes.

(more from me!)

The gun went off, the house burned down, and you fell from the heavens lifetimes ago. Get up!!!

[thisismetryingtoconnect]

I’ve gotten better at dealing with it, but there are always echoes; it is never truly silent.

[thisismetryingtoconnect]

how long does it take to break a habit?

There are stories that feel left unsaid There is life down the hall Sitting in your favorite chair I can feel you stall

There is always a room for you Inside of me I retrace my steps Although I can't see

I'm reminded when I pass the spot Where you last lay A habit set in stone Now begins to decay Alongside heartbeats And eyes that can't meet What a lost mind is looking for A piece of you was always with me But now it has seeped into my core

Words by Clementine Von Radics

(this reminded me of a writing I did)

you are alive to love; you love because you are alive

I carved a heart into an apple with my teeth Little by little, I picked at its skin Scraping my teeth along the core

I tossed it to the floor Circling it as it rots

There was love here before And there's love here now It seems to pour out from the sides of my mouth Only held back by my teeth And the fear that's inside of me

As time moves on I learn to sit down And endure the love that I've felt

These apples on the floor Are nothing more Than the love I need for myself

--------------------------------------

With tears in my eyes I silently cry Placing the cores up on my shelf

[thisismetryingtoconnect]

I'm reminded that the blood beneath my skin is also yours At least that's what you've made me believe So I endure, endure, endure, the pain that you bring to me

It hurts when I stand on my own two feet As I feel the blood descend my body There's nowhere to turn No helping hands around me

As I crawl away from you I learn to sink my teeth into anything new Crying at the feat Cold and naked in the street

I can't hide it anymore The hunger I feel It's my soul that's begging to be filled

Laura's street

May's blizzard, Mother's Day is around the corner, and I am no longer in pink house arrest. Surviving neglect isn't all cracked up to be A survivor that it is.

I used to accept so little 'cause I didn't have much ahead of me, no one taught me how to live, how to take care of myself in the same way I loved the others. I could've drowned, the way life took advantage of it, I should've drowned, instead, I screamed and made sure to hide, and never again to be found.

Today, I took a bus ride, fighting for myself no one can be a victim of circumstances forever. I take myself to all the appointments they never took me, I am not afraid to ask for help, or demand that my needs be satisfied, otherwise, what are you here for?

I take the wrong direction, it always takes me a while to get on the right track.

I am in your neighborhood, and I never meant to but that's Lauras Street? Who is she? That's where you have been hiding since we were 19? She gave you structure, endless green, and architectural love.

The way things were, The way we were raised, The past goes right through me, it allows me to let it go.

I wasted so much time wondering what could have been wrong? Everything that it is. You never were going to be good, or good enough for me.

My muscle that is my heart is beating

I can feel it in my chest

My dog gives me kisses

With her bad breath

I appreciate them nonetheless

I appreciate them nonetheless

As the words circle around my brain I think of the times I have fallen Out of your hands again Hitting my head on the concrete On my knees At your feet Begging to please be let in

[thisismetryingtoconnect]

black sheep

It feels like something's missing And it feels like it's me

Head over feet Looking six feet deep

A death in a family That comes before dying Where a soul is set free And there's no promise to keep

Bugs crawling through your teeth As you stare up at me Flowers dying with you As you wither delicately

Please, tell me The secrets to our family Is there something wrong with me? Did you feel this way too?

I'm possessed by the moon

They painted your house blue
