Humans are social creatures
Yet the darkness never casts me away
Unlike when I'm walking with my friends
But I'm two steps back
Because 4 people together
Will crowd the hallway

Humans are social creatures
Yet a locked room won't throw me away
Unlike my friend pulling our other friend
Because she has to tell her a secret
That just isn't for me

Humans are social creatures
Yet the water of the shower doesn't drown me away
Unlike the way I know everyone in my school
But don't fit in any of the groups

Humans are social creatures
Yet my music doesn't let me faint
Unlike when I'm asked about my best friend
But realise I don't have one to name
Drowning in my feelings, aren't i?
I cannot help but wonder tonight if the archangels have abandoned me.
The universe has a plan for me but executes it unsympathetically.
My nocturnal nonchalance convinces me that I have nothing to lose,
and no one watching over me-

But there is always the moon;
There’s the moon.

I wonder if I will be happy, soon.
If all the lunar rays
I harvest through my labradorite will serve me well.
Whether I’ll hit the ground running or just simply
hit it like a meteorite.
Will I reach for the stars or throw myself
in front of the metro.

I seek solace in the sun and safety in the stars
but the sun no longer shines and the
stars no longer give a **** about my safety.
I have been plunged into darkness and led
astray.

Wandering aimlessly,

using the world as my own ashtray
because what other use does it have for me now that I am drowning,
with my head in the clouds?

Churchill called it the black dog,
I fear I will die within this brain fog.
wrote this during a fever dream and did not check it back for errors so it’s pretty raw folks

time is fettered                                          
new leaf litter       feathers my doorstep

time is fettered                                          
letters remain by the door
silence fills my chest

the wind carries feathers                        
flecked in blood
(violence in the food chain)
my brain releases
               and silence fills my chest

Let go of the weight,
You stand stronger on your own,
Nothing but clear skies.
When you are alone, you are strong.

Today I will have fun
Alone
I'm doing this retreat
On my own
To be and feel again
At home.
I'm curious what the day will bring. For some it's luxurious to have a whole day to themselves. I often have this opportunity. I'm glad I wanna use it consciously today.

The clock ticks,
eyes wide,
the night is heavy,
wrapped in silence,
dreams just out of reach.

I lie awake,
lost in shadows,
waiting for dawn
to break the stillness.
Cant sleep at night............

3:00 a.m.
the clock stuck,
my eyes wide,
body numb.

Here, at 3:00 a.m.,
the world holds
its breath,
and so do I.
3:00 a.m. baby.............

Can't sleep,
looking outside,
witnessing the intimacy of the moon and stars,
and
the cold winds kissing my skin,
as if I were a piece of art.
Piece of art it is..........................

In this world of darkness,

Love is just a distant memory,

Fading away,

Like smoke on the wind,

Like clouds after rain,

Like summer in December,

Like my feelings after you.
The weather, in here, is really cold.......................
