cleanliness

The bath water
is the colour of my eyes;
yet, I don't know
which is wetter.

Hello, Friend

Hello, the girl who lives
at the east side of the island
I hope when you read this,
you have a smile plastered
on your face

Hello, the girl who wears
glasses and has ponytail hair
I hope when you read this,
your boyfriend calls you cute
over and over again that your
heart flies to the sky

Hello, the girl who draws
and collects DVDs
I hope when you read this,
your friends stick by your side
and never leave you behind

Hello, the girl who creates
lines on her arms,

and I'm glad to have you
in my life.

Hello, Devia. :)

Linger

Linger

Sleep drifts heavy,
a fog, a mist, a shroud,
yet You cling to my mind

Like the last breathe of a cigarette,
or the sweet taste of chocolate,
you linger,
a welcome reminder
of the sweetness that graces my mouth

You're there on my lips,
and you linger,
like the hot burn of cinnamon candy,
or the cold bite of Winter's kiss.

In every sweet taste,
or sharp bite,
you linger

Autumn Song

Oct 2014 Light it up

Dante Alighieri

Autumn Song

Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf
How the heart feels a languid grief
Laid on it for a covering,
And how sleep seems a goodly thing
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

And how the swift beat of the brain
Falters because it is in vain,
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf
Knowest thou not? and how the chief
Of joys seems--not to suffer pain?

Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf
How the soul feels like a dried sheaf
Bound up at length for harvesting,
And how death seems a comely thing
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?

That Someone

That Someone

Someone who feels everything in their life has led them to you.
Someone who loves your flaws, sarcasm, giggles, stupidity and at times immaturity.
Someone who would find answers in your hesitation.
Someone who falls in love with you despite the differences.
Someone who finds love of their life , the closest and truest friend in you.

We crave for these, but the facts say... we are asking for too much.

Feminism

Oct 2014 Light it up

Gwen Johnson

Feminism

There are women against feminism
And I really don't get that
Feminism is about equal rights for men and women
And without that
I would spend my life suffering through the remark
"Get back to the kitchen"
Because it wouldn't be my place to deny that
And little girls would grow up
With their purpose in life to be
To look pretty
And have children
Without feminists
I would grow up and never get the chance to vote
Without feminism
It wouldn't matter if I had an education
As long as I looked good enough to get a husband
Isn't there something wrong with that
And feminism is around today
Because some men still look at women as objects
Because women can't dress nice
Without a male seeing it as an invitation
Because women who have *** are *****
But guys who have *** are praised
Because women get paid less than men
Feminism still exists because so does inequality
And men don't think I'm blaming you
I'm blaming the society
That uses a woman's body to sell anything from burgers
To perfumes
I'm blaming the society
That constantly photoshops women
I'm blaming the society
That blames the victim
I'm blaming the society
That makes women believe feminism is wrong

Hurt feelings (Cut)

Turn Off The Lights

Hurt feelings (Cut)

You are hurting me
You left me drowning for weeks
We have been playing pretend for a while now but
You cannot hold my head underwater
And expect me to breathe
Like you are not suffocating me
In this lake of incomprehension.

Two months ago you grabbed my pinkie at that dance and didn't let go, even when the blood rushed out and it turned blue. We had known each other less than twelve hours. You oozed confidence, didn't know the steps and yet you went for it.
I thought ****, he is going to be my best friend.
We are going to eat pop corn and have water guns fight and build fires and laugh for hours

Somehow I was a stranger then and I am a stranger now
In a very different way, the dynamics changed
I cannot believe how easy for you it was 
To wrap your hand around my easy heart 
And choke me from the inside
And anger is building inside me like a volcano 
Anger is seeping into my veins because I have been nothing but nice 
Yet
You make me feel like I am a bother
I cannot believe how easy for you it was 
To release me and slither away 
As if I never mattered at all 
As if I never existed at all
You told me I could be your friend
Only if you could be mine 
You told me you would be there
Whenever I needed someone to talk to
***** data roaming 

And it hurts because
Pretending I do not exist won't make me disappear
Ignoring the fact that I am alive
Doesn't mean I am dead.
I am very much alive
And I just don't understand
How I was your friend then
But I am nothing now
I have been choking on words for days
Wondering how I could talk to you
When we do not communicate anymore
Speaking out
Is always better than bottling feelings in
So I am speaking out in the only other way I know how
I do not expect anything
I just need to do this for my peace of mind
Because I cannot wonder forever
And stay silent
About the reason why you flushed
Our friendship down the drain.
