I rode fast to escape,
but my shadow kept up.

I crossed mile after mile,
but the ghost rode along.

I hit full speed, but the
the darkness overtook me.

I tried to outrun it,
but the silhoutte stayed ahead.

I reached the end of the road,
and metal screamed before i could.
i rode the same bike for 13years now and counting. it has witnessed all versions of me, have been with me in all my bests and worsts moments. Idk...im being sentimental... im barely holding on, this bike keeps me sane...

I can’t run away from the water
But Iβ€˜m afraid that I will drown once I swim
Lately I just sit on the shore and I wonder
what more does it take to go in?

You know, I used to be floating
above all of the waves
and it really was simple
but I lost all my strength

Itβ€˜s not me who could do it
it was someone who faded through time
but where do I find her?
will she ever be mine?

he sees his angry daughter,
i see a suppressed dragon who birthed another.
and fire drips from the wall,
thick oil,
burning down the whole house.
the colour paints my face in streaks of pain.
he talks a monologue,
i put the dishes away;
quickly, careful.
take his plate for it to rot in the sink,
for another woman to clean.
he snatches the soy sauce dish away from my
breaking fingers.
whatever he wants
is a command.
my eyes haze up,
and look up to his.
he has stitched spiders over his lenses.
my mouth blends with my skin,
sewn at the edges,
when his gapes like a black hole.

In the vastness of space, I find my nest,
A world away from noise, where I can rest.
Comfort wraps around me, like a gentle breeze,
As I soar through stars, my soul at ease.

Lost in the cosmos, I find my way,
Free from the world's din, in a celestial bay.
Thoughts unfold like nebulae, expansive and wide,
As I dance among planets, my spirit inside.

In this weightless realm, I spread my wings,
Unfettered by bounds, my heart sings.
The universe's silence, a symphony divine,
Echoes my heartbeat, a rhythm so fine.

Here, I'm untethered, free to roam,
In the infinite expanse, my spirit's home.
No noise can reach me, no worries can cling,
In space's vast comfort, my soul takes wings.

There used to be 7 sisters
They love to dance and sing
There were close, even as kids
They would play and swing


Their names were many
But let's start with the first
Phaedra, the sister of strength
She was never easy to coerce


Then there was the second
Luna, sister of dance
Every night by the fire
The others saw her prance


This girl was just as great
Estella, sister of song
When she sung
Everyone sang along


Now with the 4th
Ilta, sister of art
People would see her work
And feel it deep in their heart


The 5th is the next
Ayla, sister of story
Full of joy and pain
Always end in glory


6 was always around
Diana, sister of care
If someone was sick
She'd be there


But the last one is hard
For both you and me
Eira, girl of nothing
Yeah, the others are surprised too



She tried to move
But would fall
She tried to sing
But it always hit a wall


Eira tried to be like the others
But she felt small and shy
So while the others were asleep
She hid in the sky



The 6 sisters woke up
And looked and tried
But after years of searching
They began to cry



But little do they know
Eira was great
She was watching the others
Changing the star's fate


Eira isn't mad
But sad and hurt
Maybe one day
She'll leave her yurt


And dance with her sisters
Like she was born to do
Because they love each other
All the way, through and through
um. I like stars.

I am nothing but a body still
Iβ€˜ve never been
and never will

yet, for once I thought
they might understand
but there I was
my head buried in my hands

and shivers went through the parts of my body they touched
wrinkles started to form on my face
the ones you only get from pain

so long I ran
and finally, no one came
