The Red Woman May 2019
teary eyes
purple, orange, yellow
green, blue skin
a forced smile
The Red Woman May 2019
after i posted a selfie
a boy from my small town wrote me
"were you always kind of sweet"
"you look good"
"come over ;)"
i answer
because i don't want to be rude
sadness and anxiety bubbles up inside of me
i hate this
i dont even know what this is, but i' feeling a bit weird
The Red Woman May 2019
right now
i'm not thinking of anything
particularly
i'm just letting my brain lead me
down a path
a path that i am writing down
for me and you
my eyes are getting teary
and i am wondering why
maybe it's just a sad world
and i'm a sad person
trying to keep myself busy
so that i won't think of nothing
because when i think of nothing
the darkness comes along
The Red Woman May 2019
i'm gonna show you
maybe not today
but one day
i'll show you everything that
you lost
when you treated me
as if i was nothing
a stranger on the street
all this beauty
all this fire
will be spent on
someone else
and i hope your heart crumbles
when you see
everything that you
pushed away

they told me to take pills
so that i would get better
now i'm taking pills
and i'm only getting worse
The Red Woman May 2019
i collect plants
i don't know why
they calm me
when i wake up in the morning
and the first thing i see is
life
The Red Woman May 2019
i'm sick of this crush culture
where everyone wants to be in love with looks
and no one wants to be in love with personality
