‘Tis a strange and startling thing to think
As mind chase Rabbit, swig Alice’s drink
Leaps toward phantasms, myths at the brink
Of a seismic sea in which souls sink:
That, what was known to be solid truth
Is now estranged, gone and aloof
As under Hatter’s crooked roof
Delusions are spun and rattled through
In the stir of visions in the wonderland wilds
Mind regress to inner child
By illusions, treachery deceives, beguiled
So fear rules rank in this cursed isle
But in the stir of the anarchy in Alice’s heart
Against dread fear visions impart
With spirit that inspire the angels of hell
To rise up against the devil and rebel
Wonderland sings to heaven of loves luscious truth
Consists in it a common beauty yet rare forsooth
Their destiny to be immortalised sublime
In words that vanquish hell and transcend time

Dusty tile floors,
blinky fluorescent lights,
the serenity prayer,
stapled to the walls,
this place is not home,
how did I end up here?
All alone in the dead of night,
this is John's place,
I don't know who John is,
but I need his help,
somebody's help,
please, dear God, get me,
out of this place!
As I shiver,
and choke down the tears,
sending up my prayers,
into the air,
life is never fair.
True story.

Peace
Vanity.

Peace
The vanity that seeps within the human heart, is crushing.. It pounds it's poison upon our backs, until we give into it's call. A slave to it's intriguing, sensual lull. We find ourselves, on hands & knees, waiting for the taste of vanities, will. Shalom

Sincerely,
a servant
We all have a little vanity somewhere in our lives, even if we dare not admit it.

The soft circle lifts its head to the rising sun as the moon waves goodbye
The hot ball of glorious nourishment releases its magical powers bathing those below in its glory

& in the end
we couldn’t mend
what we fought so hard to have
it all ends up in death

i was crazy
the night, hazy
you were indecisive
a broken heart, massive

She Writes
I bite my lip
Until I bleed
To prevent my thoughts
From pouring out
Drowning you
Before we have a chance
To swim

strawberry fields
the sun drips
like
a
yellow yolk

oozes
down
the gold knots
of my spine
breathe the first of Spring days
the radio plays our favorite song

i see you backwards
quickly
all the times we had
vulnerable;
gone.

the sky is blue, the lake is blue
your eyes are blu
and they say i look like your
sister
oh gods. help me
i can’t feel anything
except you
and everything here is you
Edit: Thanks everybody! I didn’t realize this was a daily until later.
She paints a pretty picture
she says the nicest things
outside she's always smiling
though demons live within.

She wears the latest fashion
Is surrounded by her friends
She goes to all the parties
but the torment never ends

She always feels so helpless
while alone beneath the stars
She paints a pretty picture
the girl with all the scars.

O
Things that should be long forgotten.

They roam through the hallways of my mind,
Scratching on doors and knocking on walls,
Trying for attention of any kind,
I rub my temples and put down my head,
I try to focus on lighter thoughts,
But here I am drowning again,
In the confines of my panic box.

(Deep breaths, they say)
Where they chain themselves to stay,
(Count back from ten)
The ghosts of memories sink their claws in.

Things that should be long forgotten,
Yet the world triggers them again and again.
I have never been diagnosed with anything, I would hate to say that I have a condition that I don't. I am scared though, I am very strong willed and feel I have the strength to get through anything, but I do have triggers and people can see it on my face when it happens. I have to leave if it's visual, I have to change subjects if it's verbal. My hands sweat and my body shakes. My heart pounds and my head races. For moments I can't even comprehend whats going on and I immediately go back to the bad place and I start to panic. I try not to inconvenience anyone with my problems but sometimes it's too intense for me to handle. I project how I feel onto the people I say I care about and I just don't think that's fair.

— The End —
