Hymns of chaos are all my vocal chords sang, while the blissful sun approached the morning. All I could feel was ebbing darkness, fading away and carting my hope away with it oh hymns of chaos, sung in sweet harmony ! How your notes blend with the climate of my melancholy!
It's been a while since I visited this app. Alot of activities and happenings prevented this, but I am back! It's nice to be with my colleagues here again.

There’s not much left,
other than a soft ash that covers the branches.
I could tell you it was angry,
I could tell you I’m covered in acid burns
Shaped like words, it hurts.

I could tell you the smoke filled my lungs
to the brim,
And left lesions of soot
across my low beating heart
At least everything is still.

There are no more leaves,
the only hum I hear
is the ringing in my ears,
and the tears,
are dry now, too.

I could tell you how comely
this all looks
The destruction, the debris-
but you deserve your own pity;
Abandon me with mine.

We all got stories.
Stories are life's language;
language impacts perception - our
own, others, and nations.
"Stories dispossess, stories malign,
stories empower, stories humanize,
stories rob and break dignity,
stories repair whats broken..."
Single stories are scanty.
All stories, stitched together,
complete the composition of you.
Many stories matter - yours.
If your life were a book,
what would people read about?
We all got stories.
Share them. All of them.
[they MATTER]

I will love you in everything you do
You’re perfect in my eyes
You’re amazing in every move you make
I will be with you as long as I can
It will hurt my heart but at least
I tried
Tonight  I will cry
Because I fell terrible inside
Loving you is a mistake
That I can’t skip
I’m stuck on you  like
Everyday I’m wanting you
But you never gave me anything
In return
Last night
I told you everything
My heart has spoken the chaos
she’s feeling and I’m still breathing
You’re cold
I’m Freezing to death just
to feel you in my arms again
Until you free me from this chain
I woke up at 3 a.m.
Thinking about you
But becoming less of what
Should I feel
**** happens I just have to stay away
Air
It's so hard to breathe
Begging you to give me air
Breathing heavy underneath
This feeling I'm keeping
and in the midst of darkness I flair
