chronic
nevaeh Sep 2020
this house
is so ridiculously depressing

i try to lighten it up
fill the walls with my laughter when i can
rebel against the grey
i paint my nails neon
i fill my room with art

i got the best job i could find
i spend my work days
making people happy
inspiring young minds
i built a safe space
a childish place
where little girls can be pirates and pilots and monsters
where little boys can be artists and princesses and play with dolls
where the quietest people can go wild
and the wild can relax in the garden
it's a happy place
filled with good laughter

maybe you should visit
+we have the cutest snake his name is leroy i love him

it's a long road
and people are out to get you
but you'll survive

you will be better
than those before you
you will survive

you have a lot to learn
and it'll be hard
but you'll make it

you are going to be something
you are going to do something
you are going to make it
to: my younger siblings. if there is a god, let it help them.

honestly life is ******* hard
my only advice is:
follow your heart
kiss me if you want to
and don't eat lightbulbs.
i'll kiss you, but only if it doesn't **** you

my son
nevaeh Sep 2020
i lost him
for a few hours
i almost cried
he was under the seat in my car

so i guess
im not that much better
of a parent than you
poor hemri he probably fell out of my pocket
nevaeh Sep 2020
if you hate something
change it.
(because you don't have to be loud or fun)

ditch them
(because sometimes silence is the most exciting)

reputations are nothing more than concepts
the world is barely real as is
(because you are amazing, no matter what)

change it
and forget what others think
(because your health is always the top priority)
you don't have to be anything to be my everything.

+it isn't selfish to need space and time to heal. take all the time you need to be sad and tired. you don't have to push those feelings down for other people. they'll get over themselves or i'll fight them.

my baby
nevaeh Sep 2020
i already have a kid

she steals my scrunchies
and knocks my **** over
she eats the feathers off of my dream catchers
and sleeps on my chest
she bites me all the time
and apologizes with dead crickets
she chews apart all of the wires in my house
and frequently gets her head stuck in cups

she's a little ****
but she's the best baby
(the only baby)
i could ever want

if you knew the sun would never rise again
would you love me then?

could we be together forever
if forever was only tonight?
~
if it all meant nothing
would i be your everything then?
~
if you knew it was the last time
would you say goodbye?
~
or would you stay then,
until the end?

ugly duckling
nevaeh Sep 2020
i was an ugly kid
no joke, i was borderline scary.
for starters:
i was almost a foot taller than all the other kids
and i was extremely underweight.
i had these bright purple
wire-frame grandma glasses
and i dressed like a boy.
i was (still am) terrified of butterflies
and i genuinely believed that i was a vampire.
i also heard voices and talked a lot about my
"imaginary friends"
because real people didn't like me
~
now i'm just
a fat, ugly *** swan
and i don't have any friends at all
not even imaginary ones

is it possible
to be the only single person
on earth?

i feel like everybody's got somebody
maybe not a girlfriend or boyfriend
but at least a best friend
a favorite cousin
a loving parent

i don't have anything like that
i don't have any one person
that i'm close with
i have friends
but none of them really know me
it isn't their fault though - i don't talk to them really

twisting and turning
hurting and burning
because the world is against you
always
because tall boys can hurt you
good friends can turn you
everything will leave you
with nothing at all

yes, your boyfriend will dump you
your teachers will flunk you
your mother will hate you forever
your coworkers are lazy
the doc thinks you're crazy
religion will call you a freak

i guess if everything is always awful
no matter what you do

go ahead and hate me: im having fun
and you could be having fun too
breaking news: everything ***** and nothing is real, live your life now, worry about the rest later.

spin the bottle
nevaeh Sep 2020
boredom is heavy
and makes you think
so we spin the bottle
and sip our drinks
we watch it whirl
then kiss our friends
make nothing of it
but boredom's end

graffiti and fake feelings
nevaeh Sep 2020
bare feet on the asphalt
empty cans clatter
spray paint cans rattle
running
          running              
                     running                            
from everything we've done
from our responsibilities
from the inevitable
from ourselves, mostly.
~
but never mind all that
tonight there is just
us heathens and the moon
and aerosol colors in a can
tonight we have a bone to pick
with the universe
for making us dysfunctional
for building us broken
~
tonight we will love
no matter the cost
so what if we're hung
is it really a loss?
~
"we" is just me
and the echoes in my brain
the reverberations of myself
in a space once full of color
left black and white
~
i will color it
color it all
shapes and colors
no words
no images
just abstract emotions
just me and memories of you
~
just me
and a stranger
where you used to be
you know, that empty space inside of me that nothing else can fill.
the place filled by a stranger
because not thinking about things is easier than thinking about them
because not talking at all
is easier than trying to figure out what to say

plastic animals
nevaeh Sep 2020
i collect
little plastic animal figurines

i have basically every living thing you can think of
sure, the basic zoo and farm animals
bugs and fish of all kinds
but not just generic animals
i have different species
i try to get scientifically correct ones
i have 15 plastic birds
they are all different and all real birds
i have 16 fish
again, all different
11 lizards
2 bumblebees
4 bears
6 butterflies
a fly
innumerable snakes and spiders

almost 60 of them altogether
this is random but true - i used to have an axolotl

and my heart is heavy

today the rain
hits the ground
harder than it should
pitter patter drippy drops

i change my voice
i try to make it sound
a little quieter, more feminine
i smile a lot
consciously
i put a hoodie on my dog(?)
don't ask
my laugh is different
again, girlish
and i poke out my tongue
just a little

i dont like me

she does my eyeliner for me
she has pockets full of strawberry sugar

she likes music and art

she's like bubble gum
and a ****** nose
(if that makes any sense at all)

she doesn't care
that i'm
too tall
too skinny
too much

tempting
nevaeh Sep 2020
i could
i could kiss you
i could love you
i could be anything
(everything)
you could ever want

but will it ever be enough?

we could kiss
and never tell
we could spend nights together
in my car
where nobody knows
what we are

i could love you in secret
just between you and me
we could be quiet and reckless
wild and free

we could keep up those walls
the ones that hurt
just do the fun stuff
or whatever works

we could be anything
anything at all
no promises
no commitment
just...

we
could just
be.
but i won't do that to you, not unless you really want it.

out
one moment
im fine
the next
im overwhelmingly
dizzy
nauseous
disgusted

it isn't a choice
it's a blackout
i cant feel my fingers
i cant feel anything

just
that it all
needs to come
out

like if it doesn't
it'll **** me

i have to
𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥
to be thinner

i hate it
so much
i hate the retching
i hate the need
the urgency

i hate the fact
that my brain will no longer
allow
me to keep down
one can of soda

i hate myself
and i need every last drop
out
wow plot twist

dear you
nevaeh Sep 2020
it's been a while
i learned a lot about myself
but there's a lot left to learn, for me and you both
i hope you're ready
im ******* not

oh yea, i'm back
but not the same.
i don't think i will be either,
at least not for very long time
you took it out of me
really...

but don't you mind me,
im doing lovely
especially compared to last month
and i know i said dome things
did some things...

but i hoped seeing you would make things...
different? better?
and i guess there are
i mean, they certainly are different...

now i can't breathe
without choking on something
on my words
on my feelings
all of those dying nights
almost like they never happened
like...
a dream

but im back now!
im back and better and waiting
waiting for you to notice,
and i think you did
what did you say?
why did you want?
i don't even remember
but im glad you did
because now i have a reason to fix things

i'm really fighting this
making it difficult
it's kind of what i do
im not giving up
not tonight
this is actually a rewrite of something i did 3 years ago - only completely different cuz now it's about a failed suicide attempt and not a love letter

broken hearts
tend to heal
people move on
         ~          
you're not dying
you will live without me
you will meet another girl
with pretty brown eyes
and a careful soul
or maybe she'll be different
who knows?

point is:
i wont feel bad
for your broken heart
it'll fix itself in time
ask any of the people
that loved me before
you'll get over it

oh stars, how do you shine
on a night like tonight?
oh moon, you coward soul,
why do you hide?

sleep evades us,
we midnight thinkers
we conscious dreamers
us poets of the night
~
we that drag ourselves
to and fro
under the sun
we that welcome
miss midnight
and her quiet humdrum
~
we that smile
under the cool moon
under the burning stars
and cry out
hello, midnight!

~
1. try on everything in your closet and determine that you look awful no matter what you wear

2. play rachmaninovs elégie op. 3 no. 1 with the synthesizer tuned to sound like a robot so the fact that it's for dead people feels less heavy

3.  turn literally everything into art - including yourself and all reachable surfaces - paint, write poetry, make music, dance and be free

4. drink more water in one sitting than you have consumed in your entire life

5. put a box fan at the end of your bed, therefor inflating your blankets and effectively making a sick blanket air cave

6. reflect on every terrible thing you have done and all of the people you've lost

7. spiral into a deep depression and wonder why you're even alive when the only things you have to live for are universes away

8. remember that life itself is pointless and that nothing means anything until you force it to

9. pet your cat because shes a beautiful girl and she deserves all of the love in the world and more

10. absolutely, no matter what, never ever go to sleep.

tear tracks on my cheeks
big red flags
all over those empty streets
searching - searching
then falling apart
memories faded
but memorialized in art
splinters
wood under skin
paint fumes
brain wearing thin
feeling things
from a long-gone time
and crying
over what was lost, but never mine

these pretty walls
are built on a foundation of pain
painted blush pink
to hide the the bruises
to hide the holes i'm still filling
from when you ripped me to pieces
i finally fixed the hole in my wall, but you could still see the difference in color, so i painted the walls pink
Sep 2020 · 71
a sort of goodbye
nevaeh Sep 2020
thank you
for returning it
i dont know if you remember
but it was my grandfathers
~
i think this is it
the end of this part of my life
ive changed a lot
and i think you have too
~
thank you
for being there when you were
and for all of the memories
that still make me smile
~
if it's okay with you
i'd like to go back to being strangers
for my own sake (and i think yours)
besides, in a way, we kind of are
i feel like i really am a completely different person than i was 6 months ago
