I'm afraid my words
Will forever rest on
This mediocrity pillow
And I shall never be
Worthy of the
Muse's kiss

A poem about writer's block is such a bad cliché... but my friend Mariya here at HP was just talking the other day about 'der Kuss der Muse', so I think it's appropriate to write about it.

you said “maybe
if you
          let it out
a little
         more
you wouldn’t
       explode.”

But
        you
                don’t
understand.
                I
                    cannot
      let it out
                  slowly
like air from a
                       balloon.

all too much it’s all too much it’s always too much it’s too much too much too much too much too much too too too too too too t

Depression

Today I've just laid
In my bed the entire day
Feeling absolutely numb
And that's what scares
Me the most...

I don't wanna go down
That road again

Every word feels off... everything feels off. But I kinda needed to write it anyway.

Thrift item

Attracted to the broken
Like myself
I yearn to be fixed
To make amends
To feel once again
To wake up to my favorite person at my side
It’s not in the cards for me
And it wasn’t for you
So broken
No matter the repairs
I’ll never feel like new
Find me in a thrift store
Along with the other gems
Marked down due to being used

Okay

It's okay
Its okay
It's okay
It's okay
It's okay
You're okay
You're okay
Everything will be okay
Okay?
You're okay
It's okay
It's okay
It's okay
Breathe and everything will be okay

I feel like I'll never be okay...

This doesn't really count as a poem I guess but it is what I say to myself very quickly when I'm feeling panicked. I also loop the song "don't worry be happy".

Also in case anyone is wondering today I turned into a pterodactyl, and another pterodactyl called Bob told me to write this note while doing a backflip into a wormhole (Im not athletic so when I failed I was in so much pain I had to turn back into a human)

I think my notes are getting out of control, maybe I should stop...

Stupid idea

Loving you is the
One stupid idea that
I'll never regret having

How could I ever do so...?

When I Was Small

When I was small
I wrote a song.
It was as wild
As it was long.

I did not know
How to write words
And so I sang
With the morning birds.

Now I am grown,
I am depressed.
I write long things
Just to impress.

I do not sing,
I only sigh.
When I was small
I was alive.
