Flower Sep 23
I miss my 6th grade year
With a burning in my heart

The *****
The O'Holy Book
Stranger Things
Wednesday

It takes me back to a better time

I see myself
With my dear friends

All of us together

Z-e, A-ri-na, Vi-ie-ne, and El-n-e

Before life got complicated
Poetry is not for the weak minds,
For with every verse written,
You must go to the depths of your soul
And ask your inner demons to sing.

You must march down to that haunted choir,
And face every weight that burdens you.
Every single tear and cry of misery,
Will be woven deep beneath the lines.

Upon arrival the devils will not sing, they'll scream.
And the howls reflect every cut and scar,
All the pain you've long since buried,
Only your defiance, will tame this grief.

And you will fail.
But your failure and its dissonance, will create beauty.

Poetry is not for the weak minds,
For you burn up in every verse written,
Yet determined you stand, turning your blood to ink,
And the screams of pain, into an echo of harmony.

Your skin; your blood,
The tangles of your life,
Are simply, the most precious,
Of all that is heavenly.

The suns of distant worlds,
Are scattered across you,
And found in your bruises,
Freckles and scars a-many.

There’s a great universe,
Written out on your skin,
And it maps the pathway,
Of your true celestial body.

Let me see through your eclipse,
So I can read the constellations,
Like the life lines on your hands,
And finally see all the stars,

That you love to hide in shadow.

Just, not like you and I.
The He/She/They/It
divine do or die/has to know of lack:
ignorance:
rest:
wondering if heartbreak waits around the corner,
tongue sat heavy, stomach void.

Otherwise, what is the suffering of spiders and Man?
hi Sep 23
is it possible to love without destruction?
although i know of our inevitable death
you breathe life into me.

am i only capable of ruining beautiful things?
my weaponized affection
is a double edged sword.

could i ever be anyone’s anything?
the internal clock never stops
and life waits for no one.
When I write,
I like to spit words,
Out on a page,
And pretend,
That I’ll go back to edit,
Them later.

I’m scared,
That if I go back,
And change,
What I have wrote,
I’ll change the person,
Who made it.
