what brings me solace in this cold world?
when the days are short,
the sun doesn’t come up anymore.
scarcity is all we know.
scarcity in love.
hope.
freedom.
peace.
the twinkle in your eyes,
the widening of your lips.
when you kiss me, it all crashes.
and just for a moment,
one very moment,
the world feels still—
and hope exists.

Why are you in my head so much?
It's like the thought of you is a constant loop like a ****** song I cant quite shake
After a while I wish id never heard that **** song
I wish id never turned on my ******* radio and oh i swear i wish id never looked at you twice
I wish you had of just kept walking that day
because I don't want a stupid song on a loop in my head
I want to be happy
I'll probably consistently alter this

My soul is singing
It has been from its creation
For a while,
It was beautiful, peaceful sopranos
But something low and treacherous
Thundered in the baseline
Over time, the bass took the melody
And then the soprano flutes
Were replaced
By electric guitars
The melodic voices
With metal, guttural screams
Something raw
Sending out so many mixed,
Confused signals
Because within I am so lost
My melody faded
Now a cacophony is left behind
Without rhythm, order
And all I want
Is someone else to start
Conducting

a needle
a spool of thread
you offered to sew me back together
you helped take the stitches out
of the wounds you made

I'll be the hero I never had.
The live I lived without a dad.
The paths I took without a guide.
All these questions when you died.
I am writing a poem about heroes, but whilst writing this I feel as if this is a poem in and of itself.

now you like it
now you're running from-
what are you running from?
their standards wallpapered
over your raw skin
why do you wear it?
you've never liked
the color yellow
you know you can't
fly through water
busy busy bee

My demons are there for me
When you aren't.

I’m tired of bodies and thinking
I’m tired of hiding, I’m tired of restricting.
Sometimes the weight bears lighter, but today I was undeniably human
So animalistic,
So human.
