I'm afraid I dove too deep

malignant weeds

twist and weave

I'm not able to breathe

strange shadows surround me

I can feel unusual creatures brush up against me

my heart races

white spots cloud my vision

unblinded

I used to only write about darkness the darkness, that was my baseline the depression, that was consuming me the only relief I could find was to let it bleed not just from a pen but sometimes from my veins the shame, the fear, the anger, the pain, the isolation, the poor self esteem, the neglect, the abuse, the sorrow I felt in my 13 year old body was too much to bear I was too overwhelmed everything was too loud too heavy too much everything inside me was screaming to get out of the hell that was my home I used to tiptoe shut doors carefully painfully slowly I used to lock my door with a shoelace I used to pray to be safe because I was afraid that the water was about to boil over that there was about to be an explosion I felt the presence of an imminent fire that threatened to burn us all alive in the dead of night because I felt unwelcome and unwanted I felt it was clear that I was a burden that everything would be easier everything would be better without me

Death Blossom

Imagine if you will, a flower in a glass cage. Unable to breathe, yet keeping its beauty; It dies of both circumstance and age. Imagine now how you'd taken my heart, Tossed it in a box and threw away the key... It tried to beat its way out of the enclosure, but in the end, there was nothing left of me. And so I laughed, a sound most melancholy, As I press the barrel against your head. The only flower that will satisfy me, Is the rose that blooms when you're finally dead.

full circle

When winter's clutches release the last snow leaving us in peace the wind slows, warms, welcomes the sun it charms, flirts, beckons everything white evolves to brown and green Springtime emerges, it's embrace serene Growth all round us, the trees are reborn roses abound with fistfuls of thorns The summer sun's greedy, taking command of the sky bleeding sunsets glorified for that heat we thank the sun and say a sincere goodbye when Autumn has begun. the leaves, they color, then wither and curl get caught in the wind and leisurely swirl landing gracefully they carpet the land and fade away at winter's command.

Literature

In Spiration

so you fill your pockets with dirt and plant fistfuls of memories praying that someone will shoot but the only thing that grows is disillusionment so indifference keeps the lighter to the spoon and you draw up every drop of lost souls aching to taste the ones you had but some deaths are bigger than other deaths so you're only human and to survive you've done terrible, terrible things unbelieving in the promises of future but this is not the end

Not Okay

wake up and start working for it is six A M I turn around and keep sleeping for I feel sick A F wake up and start working it is now half past eight sludge through the day, get done nought and cut it short to stay half sane fall into bed at half past two determined to take just a break but sleep till e'ening breaks get up, wake up, shake away the sleep the day is gone, you've wasted it sick to the core, but nothing's wrong just your mind, your heart, your soul dread the tomorrow

no happiness in misery

no happiness in misery (OR: My best friend died and I don't know what to do so I wrote a cento about it with Fall Out Boy lyrics) so, progress report: i am missing you to death, my best friend, dead and gone, and i want these words to make things right but i must confess, now that you’re gone, i try to picture me without you but i can’t, so now i’m just numb, bulletproof loneliness, wearing vintage misery, like i’ll never be the same, and i don’t want to forget how your voice sounds, (just off the key of sunshine riptide) and i need to keep you like this in my mind, wishing on every star, a cherry blossom about to bloom, the eighth wonder. and i could scream forever, as desperation takes hold, ‘cause i don’t know where you’re going, and i keep telling myself i'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday, and i’m so sorry how talking's just a waste of breath. it’s kinda funny, that everything i wish for will never come true. so i lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum. we

nailed to the counter

fivey eyed the barn door, her right forearm tingled with a quite familiar burn, it informed her tone: "you nannys ain't dealin' proper. i had hoped this would stay above-board, but if you wanna wake snakes, let's frolic!" her right arm shot out, glowing energy pulled three armed men through splintering wood; the barn creaked and the men screamed as their bodies were dragged across the dirt before being launched out the far wall. fivey stomped her left foot; the two shotguns trained on her slithered, hissed, and— with both barrels— bit the two closest men in their necks. her right foot slid behind her in a perfect half-circle,

Where Nothing Dares Settle

we assume the fish that appears to advance without moving does so, effortlessly; as if the sea itself merely wills them forward we long to swim like this to hold our position in the universe while the earth churns its oceans past, as if its motion were ours and perhaps it might be if we could only comprehend how much lag truly resides in the linkage between space and time, then we'd know water like it knows us our ins and outs and the low places where nothing dares settle for long we'd know why sleep evades when we're most spent, as memories older than our own activate, once we traverse a certain set proximity

Literature

Sound Carries Near a Salt Flat

the noise of a dying man is that of a humpack whale reverberating across the desert thermocline, tunneling between the dune and the horizon. he whines, low, not loud, but it surrounds us; ocean pressure straining at the sides of a submerging ship. the harpoon head of the frag bomb burns in his leg - flesh irreparably breached - as that groaning calls navigation signs to some unknown counterpart far across the sand. I can swear to you he will be gone in forty-eight hours from the sepsis if medical can't make it to this fucking shelled-out excuse for a town by tomorrow evening. I give a sedative still, his cries carry like those son
