A nail
Has been beaten back into the floor
So I no longer step on it,
When I enter the room,
When i finished my shower
When I just want to stand.
This nail was snow on bare skin
Woke me up every time I stepped on it.
Last night mami terrorised me.
Talking about daddy cheating and her losing my sister if he divorces.
Went to a **** interview for an even shitier job.
Said she'd work from 9 to 4 in the morning and it's the perfect opportunity to get back working,
Packing shippings while standing while she has an engineering degree.
She's funny lately.
I tell her I don't really wanna come home today and she says the same.
Insists on sleeping next to me and asking if I hear the sound of my tears hitting the pillow as if it's ghost.
Lover on the other hand says I'm making it hard for her
"I just feel like by getting close I m pushing you away"
So I will dissappear.
Been saying it for years.
When I was little I dreamed of 18 being brighter than ever.
It was futile like all my hopes as a toddler.
Cursed lips of spoken valor.
6 hours, 6 hours, 6 hours that's how much I'll stay in school today.
Hope I come back to a home emptier than before.
Hope it's just a dream and I'll wake up in May.
Or July.
Or never I don't really have preferences anymore.

-I’ve been lying to myself for so long-
-that now I can’t recognize myself-
-I look in the mirror-
{who are you?}
{a stranger...}
Just checking my personality in the mirror again

Summon your demons
Unfold your worries and pain
Initiate the process
Consult your past
Imortalize your last moments
Decide for the last time
End it all.

The sun’s making space for its own warmth
It’s leading me on a far away path
Even though my way is forth
I go way back into the black
And the sun cramps out of it
Telling me to go on and continue what I started
I told it that I cannot fit
Somewhere I wasn’t invited.

I found a way to hold my thumb against my palm so it feels like I'm holding a hand
I read your love letter again exactly one month to the day after you've given it to me,
I'll call it fate.
I told my friend how I wrote about my parents getting my body repatriated-she shuddered but I just blinked.
My mom came with me to watch,
How I gulp down a tequila shot then wash it off with lemon beer-
How I can't take it anymore.
I'm loving this rain, it brands the solitude away from my brain and into my heart, I know I'm meant to be alone.
I'm loving this tightness in my chest, this willow gilded pain I'm glinting
Taking my clothes off so that I'm touching all that could be me, so I'm dreaming it's yours.

the burn on my tongue
takes me back to maybe the most natural conversation I've had.
the burn on my tongue
hurts
but gives me a comforting feeling
I've never been more perplexed.
i hate you but I don't
because the burn on my tongue is just like you
bitter sweet agony
loving memory
of painful mockery.
what is it with you?
is it your face?
your way of doing things?
your issues?
I'm in the wrong place
But I know that if I leave i'll miss you.
I don't know what to ******* do.
You're the person that brings and takes away my smile.
You're the one who makes me feel... real.

And I fall
   In the hole
          We call "hope"
I feel safe
  Water's waiting for me
                 At the bottom.
I lie to myself
      Because I know
                      I'll remember I can't
             ~swim~
  the moment my fragile bones touch
                     _ the water_
I can swim

I think the sky and the sea are friends
Every day and night they give each other compliments
In daylight when the water’s bright and blue
The sky changes its clouds in the sea’s favor.
At night when the water’s shine was dimmed
The sky transforms itself into a nocturnal rainbow just to reflect itself in the last
Sparkles of the water.
I am curious now, would the sky and sea be friends forever?
Or will they someday become lovers?

how may I ever not
sanctify the blood of
woman when it is
the purest form of jubilation
it is life
it is death
it is the catharsis of
crackling generations
of
trillions of souls
so how may I not
sanctify what is most
holy...
what is most splendid
in creation
the blood of woman
moon untainted
ethereal and wild
the blood of woman
may rule on
from the Earth's core
like it did
before.

senseless senseless rage
the woman screams and wails, i inhale smoke
it is a feminine urge to ache and isolate,
therefore a feminine source to burn and wreck.
chaos. i crave fear glinting on retinas.
all that is feminine in me resembles pain
all my femininity exuding from me is revenge burdening.
chokehold-i must
ruin this core of sufferance alluring.
wash this body, pamper, nurture feminine.
implode, exhale,flame,anger perfervidly.
blood is woman, blood outlimns my femininity.
i am the ashes of another nail burnt in the cruel hands of history.

It's getting harder to say sorry
Sometimes I ain't even brave enough usually all the feeling i carry
Bring my confidence deep in this rust.
Sometimes my ego just turns into dust.
It's getting harder to say thank you
Because I don't know how to
I don't know who to say it to
Gratefulness escapes my mind i can't really express it
And because everyone thinks I am ungrateful it all goes to ****.
It's getting  harder to say hello
Or maybe the continuation's harder
People have transformed so
That I can't talk to them unless I stop dreaming about a forever.
And now since my heart's been infused with blue
It has been the hardest to say I love you.
I don't usually deal with anxiety but here is what happens when I try to calm down after getting super anxious

but darling
i'm telling myself the same critics
never change anything though
                          °
darling I'm trying to find appellations
for every other meaningless thing
but in my world of correlation
meaningless seems to have a meaning
                           °
i'm a hideous liar
meaning i'm a pretty face selling words of fire
meaning that I deliberate about being shallow or loyal
meaning that i'm dying but I'm quite the survivor
                         °
I'm just as broken down as my whole generation
because we're all the same just deadlier situations
but I'll lie myself through since it's what I'm good at...
you know denying myself isnt that bad
                         °
I've built myself a cursed regime
where my wounded hands reside
because when I decide to hide
no-one will ever find me
                         °
                      
I'm still the same unchanged, colorless and steeped of secrets
still part of the sick game of saving and killing heartstrings
                         °
but in the world where everyone's the same
in a world where you're a complete idiot if you go astray,
in this sick world I'm ready to embrace my "idiocy" _
                           °
with all due respect to the human race
I'd like to go on with my hypocrisy
I'll ask no-one else
If they approve of me_
I am part of this world

I think I'm out of words
I think my art became dull
I feel like the two swords
Just gave up fighting for the crown.
Is it that there's nothing to write about?
Or just plain boredom?
If I'll have to count
I think it's a week until I stop forever.
What will I do without writing my heart out everywhere?
I won't care, I wouldn't bare
Without the only thing keeping me alive I could collapse anywhere.
Picking me up would be too much of a weight
And I had enough  people giving up themselves for my sake.
I'll wait...And wait
Maybe I could pick up myself one day
stranger Jul 2018
I want to get lost in the deep seas
Feel my heartbeat race with the waves
I want to lay somewhere no one sees
And wait for the next moon faze
All this because I found most peace in the water
Pieces of my soul belong in all those sunken sea shells
In there I could see everything better
I can feel happiness inhabit all my cells.
Do I ever want to escape this peaceful dream?
Never...
stranger Jul 2018
It's the end of the week that catches me feeling the most numb.
Unable to sleep but barely walking.
Unable to eat but hungry.
Wanting love but distant
Eyes wide open but drugged like dreaming.
The only thing that I could grant
Is that I can't explain any of this feeling
It's a Saturday night that makes me the loneliest .
Laying in bed seems like the safest it could get
But staring at an empty wall just seems fake
But I stay with opinionated thoughts running through my head.
Thinking that staring at the night sky would be great
A Sunday evening is when reality catches up to me
But even if my responsibilities is all I see there's still more thoughts behind my mind's tree.
I've counted weeks and months and I've just been the same.
And honestly a change scares my heart
I'll rather be looking for my lost pieces than lose another part.

Drowning in ignorance.
I've given up on myself.
I try to breathe out of bubbles of assurance.
But I die with every breath.
I've decided I want to be a spectator to my own pain
The outsider grieving over a theatrical game.
If I was mature enough maybe I'd laugh
However I'm just an orphaned stranger.
A child taking care of its mother.
And hahahaha isn't it funny we've heard the same story over and over again
Nothing new, everyone's sad right?
But nobody's sad over the same pain
We're self-sufficient only at night.
Have I reached that stereotypical age when all you want to do is sleep?
Oh and how society loves to call this self-discovery.
So I just chose Drowning.
Or dying.
To fulfill the purpose of our perfectly functional society.
everything's becoming hilariously painful

And call the fight of three
A death match.

Meant to be human
And gain the common sense
Because that is human acceptance,
Except that is not the field I wanna bloom in

Through time and space
Young and fullfillin

An exchanged frozen breath.

Just not in the mood.

Didn’t sleep much last night
I was admiring the thunder
Focusing on the rain getting louder and louder
Marveled at the sky while it was changing color
I stayed up until 4am last night
Just to watch the overly dramatic lightning strike
Watching it burn on the sky almost like it was able to write.
Woke up at 7:18 exactly
Just to keep admiring
My old friend the rain
Letting me open up
Transforming its iridescent water drops into obscure showers of pain.
My lonely friend who always comes back,
Lets me choose its next move
Makes me forget the meaning of sad
While I make the new purple-black sky forget about that peaceful blue
Last night I saw one of the most beautiful storms ever...
stranger Oct 2020
It can't really be 01:10
Tommorow can't be real
The soft voices in my ears are saying it too.
It's too late to be this early.

Such an honour to meet you,
My suicidal rendition of self,
I think i love you
.

tremoring skin
I am
undignified by the times.
skin so frail
the Moonlight collides when I
know bones ache when rain may arrive...
Broken bones that is.
I wrote for 19 days continously
Nothing but love letters for a love I know can only be temporary.
For a love that I may need so much it will pain me when I leave it.
I will shed tears in its hollowness
I shed tears in its presence knowing how time passes.
It kills knowing that pain relapses.
Skin will start beating in solidarity with heart
Skin will thunder out of memory and lack of time to move life through.
It sickens I fell tortured by my own hands.
I know broken bones will ache when rain may come but how will I know the after math of heartache?
How will the earth shatter when this love wilts?
How will the waters hesitate to flow when they hear our love has become drought?
How will I ever rot peacefully in my grave knowing I did not get to love you completely?
How will you?

— The End —
