Moo

Moon

When the moon soars abloom,
The God rests the doom,
Like a hand that guides a spoon,
Moon that nests alone fresh and unborn,
Slithers its way,
The purest ache of yearning's sway,
As the cloud take heed and veil it away.

Alone on the Outside

The Wilted Witch

Alone on the Outside

A being so yielding,
Yet so easy to break.
Soul’s component so rare
It must be a mistake.

Here on the outside,
The inside seems gangrene.
And there’s no one
I’ve known
That knows
What I mean.

Something is wrong that the whole world judges “right”.
Is it a flaw in my mind, or just in my sight?

Unspoken

I carry worlds within my chest,
silent storms I don’t confess.
A smile, a nod,a quiet plea,
hoping someone sees through me.

Lonely

If I am everyone and everything
And everything and everyone is me
Why do I feel so ******* lonely?

I've been binge watching Ryan Robinson on YouTube, and it's truly incredible. I skip over the religious stuff, but other than that, everything he says I agree with. In the last video I watched he said that we are all everything and everyone, and I thought of this. I really recommend you check out his stuff though, it's very raw, unedited content that might be hard to watch if you're attention span is very used to short form content that you can doom scroll, but it's so wise. Sending love and hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Moo

I am

I am the pit in your sand,
My heart is the flesh in your hand,
I am the prayer that died on the devil's tongue،
I am the air that rises from the smokers lung،

All the bad things

i am not whole

i wait for my sister’s breath to steady,
for dreams to pull her far from me—
because i can’t let her see this,
can’t let her know
that i am not whole.

must wait for my sister to fall asleep before i can cut. we share a room.

I am not

I am not

It does not follow
that I am weak
or timid,
shy,
or small

Your logic’s amiss
I’m not swallowing this

It does not follow
that I am cracked
or broken,
rough,
or torn

It’s flawed generation
from any foundation

It does not follow
that I am less
or nether,
base,
or low

I don’t care where we were
-what you try to infer
I prefer
You’d concur
These are non sequitur

Drenched In Yesterday

If the rain could weave your touch into mine,
I'd let it drench me, time after time.
Perhaps in a place where clocks don't turn,
You’d find me waiting, a love unlearned.

Airborne Soldier

I wore my heart like heavy armor,
Fighting shadows, none of them true.
Quixotic in my relentless fervor,
A soldier lost in skies of blue.
