Perhaps time did not stop,
but life,
as I know it,
did.
Whenever I look back,
I'm still there,
amidst the chaos
and frozen
in time.
Celestia Jul 2020
Her brain is always overcrowded.
Thoughts and dreams and half-written poems have taken over her mind.
Her soul is made of the ramblings of a nearly mad wanderer who has been confined for too long.
Questions and doubts and anxieties plague each of her waking moments.
Stress and worries ruin the rest.
Her mind is filled with chaos and her heart with mayhem, and she would trade both for a chance to breathe freely.
My thoughts don't listen to me. I am a prisoner in my own mind. I am lost in a world of my own making. But I will look in the mirror and remind myself that I will make it.
Yours,
Celestia.

and routine changed,
frivolity found a way to play
time collapses as you set aside order
grabbing chaos and you find
fun takes over, and you slip into change

'I learned today that voices never truly disappear, they just get diffused throughout our world. I could not help but marvel at the sheer beauty of that fact, could not help but wonder about the volume is that are hidden in silence. Every single war cry, and every wish for peace, each jubilant shout and each sorrowful moan, all the screams of hatred and all the whispers of love surround us wherever we are, like a hand reaching across space and time to hold ours. A message sent across the void saying 'I was here too.' giving comfort to those who seek it. Knowing that long after I am gone, this world will still hold my voice and words, gives me some peace in this chaos.'
I am looking to improve, please don't spare my feelings.

I sit here every evening
every night
Nothing comes to mind
No muse in sight
I have an ache inside
I can't describe
I type a few lines
Words won't rhyme
Failing each time
The sting inside
A low lit flame
Dwindling down to nothing
Why can't I find
What's burning inside
And type it all out
Confusing doubt
Not even sure what it's about
The words pour down the sink
Draining to never be seen
I'm stuck in between
The chaos unheard
And losing myself
Placing my unfinished words
Back on their shelf
Recently I've felt my passion dwindle.
I love writing, and maybe criticism is too much to ask for. I shouldn't need it. One single word can extinguish the flame I hold. Sadly.

A breeze of calmness between wars
is raging while trees are doing fine
swaying leaves and walking vehicles
under the lights, they're watching my steps

A scene where a crescent moon glows,
a flesh of pink within clouds
and gloomy stars behind,
and arms hugging petals with tears inside

A night of sadness is filling in those lives,
warming up with coldness
while it's raining red outside
I am anxious,
I'm afraid
I need to wake up
and fight for those stars
—they need to shine
and stop hiding as lonely hearts

Is it impossible to love someone like me?
I am a storm and i am the sea.
I am chaos and i am calm.
I am too much and i am not enough.
I am a pile of broken pieces but i will help put yours together again.
I am a hurricane and i am the lighting.
I will make my mark on your life.
Is it so impossible to love someone like me?
I am a storm and I am a Sea.
I am chaos and I am calm.
I am a hurricane and I am lighting.
I am made of only broken pieces.
But I will love you so deeply,

So sensitive skinned
Passions keep me from world's lies
My heart unscripted
I made a promise to myself that on my 25th birthday, Ill be making changes to myself, slowly but surely. Ive often hated myself for being so 'sensitive', I thought if I killed that part of me, Ill be happy. Now Ill be kinder to myself and embrace it as an asset, not a flaw. I will finally be tackling some old fears and demons. Its my very passion, my own fire that keeps me warm from the chaos of the world around me and the relationships of wonderful friends and family that keep me sane and grounded.
I want to be as real as I can and present the best version of myself everytime too.
As I said, Im working on new collection which I hope will be posted soon. Still got alot to research, haha! But I will be going back to continuing some collections here!
Stay safe and well everyone!
Much love,
Lyn 💜
