Today, I tried to forgive myself. From not being enough; to laugh; to love— so dearly that maybe in a future I was there. Happier, safer, and warm.

To be safe
All this haughty facade is easily brittle, the blisters seeping through my soul and I bleed, an immortal I work in progress- but I am marked red, unwanted by the Gods and rejected by the devil.

Facade
If torrents could run through rivers of the old, I’d surrender my being and let them take hold of my mind, this body, the time that’s been told— and traded in alleys dim, fetid, and cold. If torrents could alter, harden into growth, like a leash wound tight around my ankles, biting with cold, I wouldn’t thrash or resist. I would stay afloat, waiting for sunlight, for devotion, for hope.

Surrender
A spectacle it was, I snarked, a man stood with a dagger in his heart. He cried war, revenge, and love. My knees scorched from the heat of these pebbles. There I knelt, for us, to humor God. Why make me love when it must die in the palm of my hands, bleeding blue, drowning in red? I cried for war, for pain, for love. I must beg once, I cannot again, for how could I? A creation shaped to be a warning to many— God can make you miserable for life.

She never dreamed of fleeting moments in a bubble of threads of fate— of reason for one person she'll never meet again— not ever. But it is there a star-studded moment: reality is gripped by shackles of faith Freedom? Delusion. Yet it is here that she— gleams with pride for herself that she too, a constellation of self revered. And this is where with eyes closed a candle is blown in the wind for maybe, in a future her mug is not cold not empty and she might dream again— with reason.

Star-lit
I am going on a journey. Suddenly, it dawned on me — what if I die? Abrupt. Unnoticed. Is there anything I could leave behind? Other than grief, than sadness, regret? I realized — no. I have none. So I stood up, braced myself: I will not die. At least, not today.

No, not today.
And when you cry, we will weep with you. But not for pity — not grief. It is for triumph. You made it. True? Applause. Your hard work, finally, paid off. – fin.

Applause
I was a casket, heavy with memories fading into stupor I refused to decipher words that once let me hold blue and name green in a shade of blood orange, skies. We walked — I floated through gravel, tears soaking my feet beside your resting head. I wept in silence, for no one was meant to hear. No one dared to comfort the hollow where my voice bellowed in melancholic grace. The ship sailed into the horizon above clouds — but there was no Neverland, only the second star to the right — its red light dimming before the supernova.

Stupor
I am in grief because two nights ago I lost myself in the abyss and I cannot go back I am clawing at this corner wall it's choking me, I cannot breathe, and I had to live till the day that  my body too, descends to that place that kept my soul steal it, never returned
