Thank you for visiting! I'm a textbook Scorpio and a super shy writer who is trying to find her way. Any engagement with my writing means the world to me, as well as any advice about entering the world of writing!
i've run out of poetry, and now all i'm left with is gray. gray surroundings, gray people. i'm lost in a world that's lost in itself. i can't find the words to even say what i'm feeling, because all i see is confusion staring right back at me. i'm in a room full of mirrors, my own reflection not appearing because i've lost myself in the depths of my thoughts. someone, please find me, someone, anyone, i'm gasping for air that's not even there. no one understands, yet you're all here to listen. there's only one problem. i can't find the words- i've run out of poetry.

Damaged people love you like a crime scene Before any crime had been committed They kept their running shoes right next to their souls every night One eye opened in case something changed whilst they were asleep Damaged people love in the most broken way Damaged people love in the most gentle way Damaged people do not love Damaged people love too much Their backs are always too tense, too tight Made this way from carrying too many broken things Because we all know broken things are the heaviest Just look the weight of a broken heart Damaged people will love that too Damaged people love broken things Because they remind them of themselves Damaged people take broken things And love them to the end Trying to find that one broken thing That will fit their cracks. Damaged people love so well They love like this because they have already seen Hell And they know that every evil demon Was once an angel before they fell.

13w.
I wrote something once. I don't know where it came from, or when it will come again. I try so hard to put words on a page so I can feel like myself, but still they don't sound like me. Words burn in my chest and I can't spit them out. Beer cools them, and so I drink it. But the words go to my heart and they squeeze and squeeze and then I lose them. They mean much to no one, and not to me. But left alone they squirm and squeeze and shout so I can't hear what they mean or what I'm trying to think. I can't get rid of them. When I listen, they help. When I don't, they burn. I want to spit them all over, so you can feel what they do to me. But only if you're ready. They're like worms, the words. They eat, and sleep and breed, and there's more of them. And there'll be more tomorrow, and if I can't get rid of them they'll eat me alive. When I put them on a page, they stay still. And then more come, and I'll catch them too, hopefully. Then they'll stay still so you can see them. The words.

Words
quivering hands grip this blade invisible to all eyes soul annihilated ash descends slowly muffled abyss plunges here apologies stifled lick, diminish **** collapse swallow, ruin quivering hands clutch this crushed heart

Get up. Get dressed. Go to school. Come home. Go to Sleep. Repeat. Easy as pie! A schedule right in front of you! Easy to do! Follow the steps and you’ll be fine! Easy as pie! But you are human. You think, And feelings overtake. Easy as pie? I don’t think.

Easy as Pie...
Why do you feel the need to apologize for taking up space in the world? Stop saying you are sorry For existing For living For being human

do not apologize
i was born with a heart too big to fit inside my chest and a soul bigger than my body so i have chosen to leave pieces of my heart in the places my feet have known in the people i have loved in the words i have read in the beauty my eyes have seen and my soul- i have scattered it like seeds and i have left parts of it in songs, in poetry, in the laughter of children, in the arms that have held me and the hearts that have loved me

heart and soul
she used to write so much about love and other nonsensical things she was passionate for words her mind filled with imaginary memories now her papers are blank pen's lying on the table and her hand fitting perfectly in another

better than pens
Absence doesn't always make the heart grow fonder Sometimes it makes it forget And what doesn't **** you doesn't always make you stronger Sometimes it tears you apart with regret
