i feel new, i no longer have chains holding me down, i no longer feel like i have to take my time, hold my tongue; be a good girl now, i feel new, i can stretch my arms i won't me a brick wall, taunting me; i want out but they hate when i am free, i feel new, i can feel the sun on my skin, the rain on my lips, the wind in my hair, the love in your kiss, i am new, no longer in the past, i am the future, i'm more than happy with that.

now that i am older, i am faster, stronger, braver, now that i am older, i am wittier, prettier, probably, possibly, definitely, shitier, i can help it now i am older, i will continue to get older, till i am frail, pale, meek, made obsolete, they just want to press delete, i am a burden to the nation of youths, so wide-eyed and bushy tailed with determination, endless possibilities, that will come to an end, because, like me, you will get older, i promise like me, pale and meek and obsolete, someone somewhere, will press delete.

\\now that i am older//
the colours are more vivid than I remember, Reds, oranges and yellows dance across the sky, Clouds brushing past in awe hoping to pick up the hues of sunset, Dance, Dancing, Watch, Watching time has come and gone, The stars ask if I’ve had the time of my life, ...I have The best way to spend my final day. Now eternal rest.

Love for the sunset
Have I ever dreamt of the sunrise? The new dawn, with it thoughts and opportunities. Have I ever confessed my love of the sunrise? Your image in my head, Your breath softly caressing my skin unknown to you as you are unknowning to the world sleeping beside me. The fresh morning breeze, Whistle of the leaves, The joy of the trees. My heart belongs now to the sunrise. The unknown yet known. What lies ahead... Take my hand. Inhale. Exhale. Come with me.

Sunrise.
If I was to sit here and tell you my pain we’d be here for hours, Pain is inevitable, For some endless, For me a darkness and lingers in the back of my mind waiting for a moment to envelop me in a blanket so heavy I have no way out, I have to wait. For someone outside that darkness to just whisper my name so I can swim up and just breathe. This darkness is wide, Even as I cry out to this darkness it has no sympathy, My pain is mean, Heartless, My struggle is its joy, My hurt is relief, My sorrow is a sweet aroma to the stretch of my happiness, Yes, I smile. A lot in fact, But is it real? I’m the best actress you’ve ever seen, My smile is laced with the pain; darkness; hurt and sorrow that you will never see so, please! Allow me to grieve for the happiness I can’t feel. I forgot how it feels, it’s numb but pain... You’ve all but won.

My pain//
i love you, i truly do. i love your eyes as they gaze down at me i see my reflection in your stare, i see you see me. your lips as they caress my name lovingly falling from you, i revel in the moment. your touch. how it ignites my heart sending it racing trying to burst from my chest. an answer to your call. how i love you, i truly do.

Truly
it's so easy to lose yourself when surrounded by people, unable to truly express yourself and how you feel, stretching out your hand but no one grabs hold, until. they do.

lost and found
what do you do when you feel stuck in a bubble? your voice is muffled along with your cries, this bubble of mine lets things in but is adamant against letting anything out, so my space is filled; crowded; overflowing and completely overtaken by everyone- but me, i reserved a spot for myself in the furthest corner of my mind, put my body on auto and just... watch i burn numb. heated and unfeeling. i'm alive right? i'm the living dead. and now i'm withering away

state of mind//
i hid behind a mask everyday, my true emotions unseen, i smile at you with crying eyes, but you could never notice that. after all these years my mask started to fade, that porcelain smile turned to dust and blew far far away, anger sorrow ...fear all now on full display. what about your happiness? it flew away.

untitled 25
*before i sleep swear to visit my dreams, whisper broken promises up on my lips let me inhale the poisoned fumes, i won't stop you, i will love you, deeper, harder, i will become blind to the lies, unfeeling to the ties that bind my soul to yours, you stole my heart, and refused to give me yours.*
