17/Non-binary my poems are the ramblings of a trauma queen. most of the stuff on here centers around my childhood, mental illness and current/past love so! writing is my number one form of therapy (besides the actual therapy sessions i attend)
sun girls: they’re all bright eyes and warm hands, they’ll kiss you on the cheek. beautiful freckles. glowing skin, sunflowers and paintbrushes gripped tightly in their hand. moon girls: dark clothes and a eyes-closed kind of grin, beat up sneakers and an arizona iced tea, hair that shines, they sparkle even in the dark. soft kisses that taste like spearmint. mercury girls: smooth talkers, could convince you to do anything. big eyes and round lips, hair tied up or tucked behind their ear. late night walks and quiet conversations. venus girls: lipgloss and breathless laughing, soft hands and tummy. kissing their girlfriend randomly. a voice like honey. hypnotizingly lovely. muffled music and strawberry lemonade. mars girls: quick winks and subtle smirks. would **** for you. a love deeper than the ocean, strong shoulders and collar bones. ****** knuckles healing over and tight hugs. neptune girls: dreamy girls, hazy around the edges. tilting their heads to the side and sleeping soundly. delicate hands and cherry chapstick. hot cups of tea served with knowing eyes. saturn girls: sharpened pencils tucked behind their ear. serious eyes with a hint of laughter. tapping their toes and paying attention. books piled high with the pages well loved. jupiter girls: moving their hips and applying lipstick. a smile that electrifies you and lips that entrance you. has a hundred admirers but loves the one girl she can’t have. red lights and excitement. pluto girls: confidence that carries through the air. tastes like energy drinks and lightning. crooked smile messy hair. continuous movement with no time to talk. gesturing hands and shuffling papers.

some kinds of girls

I sip my coffee and watch the people They each have their own story to tell, their own past Maybe they can’t remember theirs Maybe they don’t want to anymore Maybe they loved every second of it Maybe they hated it But they are here They made it Every choice they ever made led them here to this sip of coffee To this conversation with a stranger To this smile and this breath of air It’s beautiful and complicated But I am here I made it I sip my coffee I watch the people I smile I am here

hands
There’s serenity in the silence of the woods It’s a quiet that covers you in reflection and calm The smallest rustle, the most gentle breeze is amplified There’s no sound to conceal you, to bury yourself in There’s serenity in the silence of the woods It’s a beauty born from ancient oaks and saplings It’s a purity that could only come from the open sky You could let your mind sleep while your feet carry on There’s serenity in the silence of the woods Remember where you walk, remember the path home The trees leak divinity, but don’t tell them your name Don’t leave yourself to the mercy of the forest Because there’s serenity in the silence of the woods But silence is not the only entity who watches you

the woods and deadly quiet
It’s near midnight and shadows traipse across my floor Silence hangs heavy, disturbed only by the scratching of my pencil I’m writing you a letter Covered in, smothered by my confusion and pain Every line feels like a stab to the stomach You wouldn’t care anyway Flick The lighter is small and covered in a glossy, red resin The warmth reaches my hand, comforting and calm I’m lighting it on fire Burning, smoking and finally, finally gone The flames destroyed my words You wouldn’t care anyway

another useless heartbreak
1. veins. 
i’m made of scars and too much blood pouring out of me. I’m made of razor blades and roof tops and letters i wanted to leave behind but i couldn’t, i never could 2. face. 
i’ve never been pretty. average at my very best. they all say looks don’t matter, but come on, no one can say i’m beautiful with a straight face and that’s not something i can change 3. miles. 
i’m not close enough to touch and that kills us both. you need a warm body to hold and i don’t blame you I’m just too distant and i’ve got ice cold hands 4. medicine.
 it’s a little too much and that’s okay. i’ve got more prescriptions than friends and the diseases in my head won’t stop killing me, they’re treatable not curable 5. habits. 
i’m always ******* drunk and you don’t like that. i can’t handle anything except my pills and i like to test my limit, another cigarette, another drink and you’re fading away 6. past. 
my life before we met was never calm. i have memories i can’t place with hands i don’t remember, turbulence is all i know and that made you feel too unstable, i understand 7. bones. 
i wasn’t born in the right body. i’m scared to show who i am to anyone but you, and maybe that brought us closer but it’s tearing me apart inside and you had to see that 8. ichor.
 we think we’re celestial, like stars on earth. i’m an angel who’s here on mistake and you fell too soon, but divinity burns and we don’t know where we’re going 9. gone. i’m ruined. i’m ugly. i’m distant. i’m sick. i’m addicted. i’m traumatized. i’m wrong. i’m lost.
 i’m sorry

i’m faster than the wind when the meds don’t work and that’s when you say you love me with soft words like honey you like the neon lights in my eyes and i love your tear-stained eyeliner you said you were intoxicated by my danger, you said we were invincible i’m bright eyes and bad ideas, I’m toxic waste with a lipstick smile i’m a bottle of ***** ****** knuckles, bare feet in the snow there’s no sleep, just a restless head and electric eyes it’s not poetic when it’s your life and it’s time you saw that I’m down again soon and it’s sad, i guess im the boy with scars on his hips and a past he’s hidden I’m the boy with shaking hands and blood smeared on his mouth you don’t see the light anymore, you said the flames went out the pills i swallow are too much for you, just like i am i’ve never been invincible, just untouchable there’s nothing beautiful about it you should run, baby they always do i think our love was ill-fated you’ve got his hands in yours and you don’t miss mine you said soulmates never died and our love couldn’t expire the signs were clear, but we never read the warning labels maybe it’s how i flinched at your touch and my inability to trust or how you never heard me when i spoke i’m a live wire and you’re a swimming pool. i should have seen this coming this is how it always ends
