Don't Forget
Anastasia M Apr 2013
Don’t buy into it.
Don’t lose yourself by the ads, the images, the appeals.
It is here to make you pay for it-“you lack this”.
Of course you lack it.
“It” is man-made; it cannot be obtained.
No one can fulfill that, not one thing can fulfill that lack, that hole, nothing but yourself.
Give yourself that love, give yourself that nourishment, because those things, those images and stereotypes, they cannot, will not, give you satisfaction.
It’s a game.
*** has become a game, music has become a game.
In order to win the game, you must be the best.
You must play well, and you must have everything they sell you.
It is Competition; and it is killing us.

Only love for self-as we are, as we were born to be, can overcome the lack.
And the best thing about this love,
Once you live it,
Accept it,
Be it,
You drop competition.
And once you drop competition,
Suffering ends,
Wars end,
Hatred and negativity ends.

But humans don’t want to drop competition,
Because humans have adapted their minds  
To live in fear,
Because fear gives them something to do.
It gives us something to accomplish.
And this, this makes me sad.

Stuck, Hidden
Anastasia M Jul 2013
Pressure builds in the valley,
The crevices of my mind.
Feeling alone in an occupied world,
I stand with the burdens and doubts that inhibit me.
Whether I hold on or let go,
The stress merely engulfs me.
I am stuck in a hidden place where no one can find me,
As I desperately seek an answer .

Anastasia M Dec 2012
Wish you felt me,
Wish you cared a little more.

But you can't force feelings and you can't be in control.
What's gone is gone,
No point in resurrection.

Jitter-N-Soul
Anastasia M Aug 2013
A trek into the deeper spaces,
Brings mind embraces,
And my embrace of you.
Heart thumping,
Jumping, pumping O.
Oh, the pains of this love,
The tugs and rubs.
The fluids turning,
Ourselves still burning,
As I am embracing you.

Certainty Nothing

Ultimate Fear
Anastasia M Jan 2013
I've heard love doesn't last;
Even if it's there,
It will wane,
Fade away.
And just because you love someone,
Doesn't mean you ought' to be with them.
And just because you feel the pain,
Doesn't mean it's there.

Well, now, look here sir!
I love,
I ache,
I cry,
I smile!
And if love will fade, then it was never really there,
For the love that is real never disappears.
And it's up to choice to decide what to do,
Either stay, or go, or give up here.
For only your life can be lived by you,
It's up to chance to pull us through.
& Though I hate to admit it,  
My ultimate fear is losing you.

Static
Anastasia M Dec 2012
Please turn it down,
turn everything down.
Better yet, turn everything off.

Life is chatter: life is noise and clutter.
Please shut it off.

Only Tears
Anastasia M Sep 2013
Under the sun,
I feel no warmth.

Your absence;
A bitter chill,
As a serpent coiling around my body.
Tightening its grip,
Spreading the cold,
Leaving me naked.

Mutual
Anastasia M Apr 2013
I surround myself with books because people irk me.
Anastasia M Feb 2013
I want to breathe bliss while I'm in your arms!
I want to squeeze tight to the wings of wind,
And let go-all at once falling to depths and heights never felt before.
I want to play in the dirt and smother myself in clay.
I want to lick the leaves on the trees,
And watch bunnies nibble on grass blades.
I want to cast away all the sadness of the planet and embrace an old woman,
And thank her for her life!
I want to make music, dance, and climb trees.
I want you to be you, always.

Chase Me
Anastasia M Apr 2013

Play with my hair.
Read me stories.
Kiss my nose.

Cold Spring
Anastasia M Apr 2013
I hear the waves inside me,
My ocean peers into view.
It is frigid inside.

Eyes closed,
I take the breath,
And I am swept away by the breaker.

Engulfed by water I seek to find you.
Under the rock, you do not appear.
Beside the coral, you are not near.
Blended in the sand, you elude from my finger tips.

Why can't I find you here?

I Look At Her
Anastasia M Apr 2013
Her eyes are rough.
I want her lips, I want to try them on.
Her curves look nice to touch.
Her hands feel open like the sky,
Cloudy, condensation in mine.

When tears fall from her face,
I want to pull her hair,
I want to push her buttons,
And squeeze her close,
And tell her she is beautiful.
Narcissism

Caught In The Web
Anastasia M Jul 2013
Minutes before the fall, I did not question love.  Passion heat spread, then exploded. Yet, the room began to chill, and the colors lost their luster; I was afraid in your arms. To be so much, but give so little. Why can't I nibble free?

I Hope You Burn
Anastasia M Apr 2013
A quick spark and the forest is ablaze.
You run,
Jolted by fear,
You fall.

And you are consumed,
And you are in pain,
And you die with the flames.

Certain Hell
Anastasia M Feb 2013
Will my whole life be a constant conscious struggle, a battle between the emotional and logical? Is it safe to assume I am forever tortured by my conscious mind? I am constantly seeking my full potential-and when I feel I am close to knowing, somehow I lose myself-and I'm wrong or deeply disturbed.

Sometimes I want to be a bird and coo strange noises.

I Will Be Okay
Anastasia M Feb 2013
My tears will accompany me tonight,
And they shall release all my poisons,
And they shall comfort me,
And they will fulfill me.

I'm not pretty to myself.

Loss Reminder
Anastasia M Apr 2013
This is my passion,
And it harms you,
And if not you then another.

Can't you see?
Trying to change,
That would be I giving up me.
