So I heard once that there’s always some gnarly looking carrot in every bag of carrots and you’re supposed make a wish on it if you get it. But I didn’t have a bag of veggies I had a jar of Gumby and Poki shaped gummies. Finally the day came when there were only two Gumbys left. One was bent in half and smashed together and the other looked as all the rest had. I pulled out the sad little gummy and made a wish like it was some ugly carrot. I wished my crush would kiss me, And giddily I walked to a coffee house because I was hoping he would be there even though I sternly told myself that he had no reason to be there. I found the coffee house closed and knew my wish wasn’t happening that night. I talked with a friend about my woes and she confessed her heartache. We smiled and laughed and died just a little on the inside. We had hoped that in college we wouldn’t feel like middle school girls with unrequited crushes. The next day he dropped off a fish (and this is no euphemism or pretty poetry slang, I opted to fish-sit while he went home for break). After he left, and feeling more than silly I took out the last Gumby and pretended. I pretended that it was every wish on a boy I had made since I realized boys weren’t completely disgusting. On my way to class I held the little gummy in my frozen, clenched fist and wished that’d he’d kiss me before he left. I made it really specific because every movie I’d ever seen with genies in it had taught me that specifics were key to avoiding mishap and mayhem. Obviously, it didn’t come true. And I feel like I’m back in middle school, wishing on ugly carrots and stars that look suspiciously like airplanes. Everyone has crushes, and still more wishes. Why I thought at the age of nineteen when the glamour of Disney-endings and romantic-comedy plots had tarnished to realism, that a Gumby gummy prayer would come true, well I’m not entirely sure. Maybe it’s no matter how old you are there are always ugly carrots and shooting stars and fast airplanes and romantic comedies and gummies in the shape of kids’ show characters. Maybe no matter how disappointed I am there will always be unrequited crushes and genies for wishes and God for prayers and heaven forbid hope.

Happy Challenge
I hate labels. so you may ask me why do you compulsively put words and purposes and dates and times on everything you have. I hate labels but I love organization. The problem with labels is they rarely tell the whole story. Labels are short, just a snapshot of the essence that the thing or person boils down to but I don’t believe anything can really be that simple. Labels can make everything easier. You get the main point, the thing that stands out, FAST. but that’s like starting a story at it’s ****** you get no previous information and that high point that holds so much meaning if you've read the entire story turns flat. A flat character doesn’t grow or change or feel all that much but they usually have a label. Labels turn real multidimensional, complicated, interesting people into flat characters. He is not gay. She is not a cutter. and He is not transgender. They are real people and you cannot possibly fit a person into a single worded description of the thing that stands out about them or makes them different. That is not enough for me! The gay guy likes ice cream and romantic comedies, he's afraid of commitment, that scar is from his own blade and he volunteers on Wednesdays. The cutter is seventeen and she lives with her grandparents. Almost everybody shes loved has walked away. She has hair the color of sand at the beach and she wants to work in security at the airport so she can finally have control over who leaves and who stays. The transgender man never felt trapped in the wrong body, the world just told him that his body was wrong. He’s a freshman in college and nobody ever told him how hard it would be. He calls his mom every night because he knows she worries and he cares. He has skin the color of caramel and he desperately wants to get married. I hope you now understand that a label is never never enough. You could argue that I’m afraid of being defined and of defining others with just a word, but if you ask me a fear of labels is a very legitimate, considerate, and justifiable fear to have. Labels are simply not enough. And that's why I hate labels.

who are you? You upon whose skin comedies are written in bruises and scars like graffiti on your heart scrawled upon the walls in the language of maddening imperfection. You who exhumes the bones of demons from the graveyard growing inside of you the cemetery where you bury your grief. who are you? who rebels at the crimes, self-inflicted, yet cannot bring yourself to bury the hatchet (a hurricane that refuses to be named.) You who has learned (to your sorrow) that the world has teeth and homes cannot be made out of human beings. You who cannot help but idle on the question "what parts of me still function properly?"

who
I am not my body I am not the freckles scattered across my face like mismatched constellations I am not the extra cupcakes that find their way to my thighs I am not the shade of my eyes nor the hue of my skin I am not the dark circles that come from lack of sleep I am not the imperfections that appear on my forehead I am my soul I am a sad song on a lonely Saturday night I am cute movies at midday and romantic comedies at midnight I am the moon and the sun and the stars and the trees dancing in the wind I am love and heartbreak, art and music I am the clothes I wear and the people I associate with I am the eye of a hurricane My body is just a fragile house for the memories and dreams that live inside me. And I refuse to be defined by that in which I reside.

I am not my body, I am my soul
my past is part of who i am, i cannot erase it. it’s written in the books collected on the bookshelves between my ribs, stacked upon my spine. the stories of who i am are carved into me, scripted on my skin, branded on my bone, there is no part of me that is not built upon this blood of black ink. i am a collection of my own tragedies, of my own comedies, of my own romances. a library of my own experiences. not all the collection is good, some books are quite damaged, but not all the collection is bad, my pages are still full of love. you can pick out which books to read, which stories you like and which you’d rather leave, but it’s still there, my past is still a part of me. ― personal library

If my life were a movie it would be one of those films that gets hyped up to no end because I’m one of those kids with the rough childhood who just wants to make it When in reality it’s just a less action packed but just as dark dc movie My story has also been confused with a marvel movie since the protagonist is me And i can't help but cut my overbearing traumatic tragedies with self deprecating comedies But my life to me feels more like an edgar wright movie where the action isn’t as exciting as The fact that I was able to get out of bed this morning And my day to day reality will forever feel like a motion blur of edited out negative emotion I think Maybe my life could be a wes anderson movie stuck in one color palette for the rest of my eternity And my maturity tends to overwhelm me my journey is like an anderson movie because i tend to create a world around me Taking time to shape my own protected reality so that the outside world can’t hurt inside me If im being honest though i want my life to be a spielberg movie that grabs attention of all ages coming from all sorts of places I want to spin my truths into his fantastic fantasies where no one equates my past with me But at the same time I want my life to be a blast from the past john hughes movie where i find a way to stop my past from haunting me And everything ends up okay at the end of the day because my minds overbearing insecurities No longer have control over me Now i see that in actuality other peoples movies are just too much for who i truly want to be and how my trauma impacts me I mean between my all of those boring biographies and my abundance of favorite movies I’d want my life’s movie to be full of images depicting my fondest memories and all my angsty gen z tendencies If my life were a movie i’d make it about how I am, or was, or am going to be If my life were a movie I’d make it about me

There's the eight of us, So very different But yet so much the same. Each of us holds our special traits. Our special talents Converged as an octet. Some artistic Some scientific Some linguistic and All fantastic. We love to laugh, We love to tease, We love to make a fool of ourselves. We know there's one who's always there, Spraying water everywhere, But never lets people touch her hair. And then there's one, Who's buff and tough, Her voice can change like a chameleon's skin. Next we have this pretty babe, Her furry stuff are fun to touch, She's the gentlest, loveliest llama I know. Not to forget, The one's that's brainy, Such a smarty that she can't type properly. There's also one that I believe She's really a mermaid in disguise, Her actions way too ridiculous. Of course we have this crazy kid, Too many fandoms and too little sleep. I still wonder why she needs her hood all the time. And here there's another girl, With real beautiful eyes, A perfect actress for sketch comedies. Last but not least, There's just me, I can't find a word for my personality. I don't know how far we'll go, If we'll still stay as close as we are right now. As time cruelly marches on, The day we'll part ways draws so near. This part of me knows That this magical bond That we call friendship, Will live on forever and ever. Never did I feel so sure, So confident about friendship. But you guys are so special, I really hope you know. No matter what happens, I see myself with you all forever, And you all with me. I believe in this friendship. This magical bond, That holds the eight of us, Closely together, Forever.

It's common knowledge that after getting a phone number, one must wait three whole days before giving a call, to make sure the interaction remains calculatedly casual, as opposed to needy or uninterested, which is complete cupid **** It's appalling that one's intense desire to contact an individual one is drawn to, is not seen as a mere gesture of sentiment or affection, but rather weakness and vulnerability. Even in the darkest and drunkest hours there will be no super likes, for no one can afford to wear the heart on their sleeves, in this world of left and right swipes. The chase is so overrated not only does it never end, but also overlooks the catch even when it's finally caught. True feelings disguised by emojis concentrated into 140 characters ridicule the ideology of love and romance, when really we're nostalgic of the times, we once murmured into brick sized cordless phones at wee hours in the morning, "you hang up... nooo you hang up first..." When did meeting the parents not become meeting the parents, but rather the quick show of another chick to flaunt how well life is going at the moment? When did compartmentalizing life mean pursuing romantic relationships over the weekends only? When did to love, to want, to need, to show affection become such girly things, those who are engulfed by romantic comedies and sensitivity did? All I really want is to call you and tell you how much I miss you, and just listen to you breath even if you don't have anything to say. But, I guess I'll just wait for you to whatsapp me sometime during the weekend...

William Shakespeare: playwright and poet My absolute favorite of all time The master of words in plays and sonnets Unappreciated during his prime His comedies still make us laugh today Who could forget The Taming of the Shrew? Now it's told in a much different way A movie: The Ten Things I Hate About You People think of his many tragedies Othello, Romeo and Juliet We still feel their sorrow; weak at the knees We cry for the Prince of Denmark: Hamlet. "But soft! What light through yonder window break?" The work of a legend those words do make!

A Shakespearian Sonnet: About Shakespeare!
YOU gave, but will not give again Until enough of paudeen's pence By Biddy's halfpennies have lain To be "some sort of evidence', Before you'll put your guineas down, That things it were a pride to give Are what the blind and ignorant town Imagines best to make it thrive. What cared Duke Ercole, that bid His mummers to the market-place, What th' onion-sellers thought or did So that his plautus set the pace For the Italian comedies? And Guidobaldo, when he made That grammar school of courtesies Where wit and beauty learned their trade Upon Urbino's windy hill, Had sent no runners to and fro That he might learn the shepherds' will And when they drove out Cosimo, Indifferent how the rancour ran, He gave the hours they had set free To Michelozzo's latest plan For the San Marco Library, Whence turbulent Italy should draw Delight in Art whoSe end is peace, In logic and in natural law By ******* at the dugs of Greece. Your open hand but shows our loss, For he knew better how to live. Let paudeens play at pitch and toss, Look up in the sun's eye and give What the exultant heart calls good That some new day may breed the best Because you gave, not what they would, But the right twigs for an eagle's nest!

To A Wealthy Man Who Promised A Second Subscription To The Dublin Municipal Gallery If It Were Proved The People Wanted Pictures
Driving off onto the 101 rush hour concrete jungle, there are no exits, only obligations to stay stuck in my mobile cubicle moving at the speed of slow. Hidden flowers on the hillside bloom away mocking my insanity, they cheer me on to see beyond these gray prison bevels. Gray blocks hollow until they're filled with my humanity, making me take the choices reaped with devils. I feel like I've lived a day in one hour, it's so early it could be midnight. Twisting and turning in my brain, the sun suddenly ridicules, feeding me a fresh case of insane. I'm at a point of sorrow, sorrow of an exceptional quality, Grade A-farm raised, take two tomorrow. The raven croaked nevermore, Juliet is the sun, dangren-burang1. We have to go. I'm almost happy here2. Complacency rots insides, then refills with fear. So - Listen to them - children of the night. What music they make3. Clamoring for sight. There's no flesh or blood within this cloak to **** There's only an idea. Ideas are bulletproof4. Filled with truths, synapse salvoes, loves, and drugs. We love what we eat and eat who we are. GERManic germs looking for psychological thrills. You work the guns, I'll rattle the hills. Smoking cannabis to an over-extent, hope lost, old kung-fu and 80's movies won, I eat smoke for breakfast. This sun is still mocking me, “Start your day, be productive, make a baby, then expiry.” Stepping into society, I'm a satanic leaf-tailed gecko wanting freedom, abdicate, and let go your kingdom. Halfheartedly half washed dishes in my sink; this entropy roller-coaster of highs and lows drives me to drink and think, then drink and smoke, making life one strange syrupy green swirl of mammarys and calamities filled with brevity’s of rarities. 5,000 images, 2 comedies, and a numb right arm later I've turned into dark matter, invisibly pulling all that matters together into a forever stretched infinitely, literally making synergies out of life-energies.

I brought him more than a book more than words on a page I brought him My heart story An epic series I brought him the stories of my life Before, up to, and including him And he read it all Each volume Understanding and translating clearly The tragedies the comedies the sheer terror and beauty of it all And in the romance section Our saga He read of my Deep and abiding attraction Ease of being with him My devotion to caring for his heart This soulmate connection Written so clearly And dearly Indelibly inked love On the pages of my heart

Indelible Love
We were clean. Pure. Trekking from pine needles to sand time slipping away from the mountainous routine of laughter and tears smeared across cyberspace when I was younger my Mother told me that when the people we love die you can still see them the brightest stars breaking through the night sky we were wandering away from smirking academia clawing our education from the comedies and tragedies of early mornings calm like the kiss of diamond tides and long nights weighed down with thoughts and drugs and alcohol shutting off each night on each sunrise drifting with nomadic intentions we raged for rage’s sake on green lawns with signs painted dig deeper into the blazing structure, the momentum is shifting, and the Kingfisher is watching proclaiming from mountaintops that killers hunt these city streets with a pocket full of bad ideas the prey a sparkling barfly clean and holy beneath a neon color palette potential squandered in a scream of confusion knowing that not every leap is a leap of faith

The Faithful Few
Like a leaf falling unknowingly towards a blade of grass… I impacted at dawn with the sound of a faded smash… Invaded by reality, my brain whipped up a list of tasks.. But I quickly yawned it off in favor of dreams from the past… How nice is it to retire to a place of wonder and passion… When your days are filled with pondering your squandered rations… A place away from heartache in a land of exotic fashions… Strange tales of horror mixed with ****** interactions.. What a world it is that our dreams create… Even giving glimpses of a future face.. Or maybe a real story from a future place.. Of guts and glory from earth or space… They open Pandora’s box of ideas and images.. But unlike life, the dream diminishes… Like the feeling of love lost with sleepy grimaces.. And the attack on your foe that’s lost it’s viciousness.. The ability to be in one place then instantly in the next… The thought of how you got there never leaves you perplexed… It just is what it is like the characters in this text… Images of prisoners that your subconscious collects… Lined up next to each other, depicting events… Comedies, dramas, love stories, and suspense… The feeling of realism is just so intense… The horror is horrifying and the fortunes are immense… That’s why I love these stories my brain invents… So now I’m off to catch tonight’s main events…

Dreams
On silver screen cinemas Actors portray pain Sobbing weeping Dripping tears Like that of thunderstorm rain Comedies - that's all they are Comedies is all I see Sick and twisted parodies of me and those like me Horror flicks and gruesome pics are simple things when compared Agony Yes Agony Agony is your true name What actor dare play my part what actor dare say "I Dare" Because of you Agony My bittersweet agony Joy is but a lost memory Because of you.... Agony my sweet agony Peace Is a mystery- never clear And my heart, my agony Is a flame flickering, riddled glimmer Beating..... nevermore Thanks to you- my sweet Agony I know Hate

Agony
So it went like this - she said, "My therapist thinks we should break up." and I replied, "Yeah, my psychiatrist says that we should break up, too." so soon after, we broke up. It was like Woody Allen and Diane Keaton. I didn't know that such comedies could actually be real. The way that it appears in my memory is something that isn't exactly real. That's life! (I think...).

Breaking Up Is A Funny Thing To Do
I suppose I should tell you a little more about myself... Something that has at least a LITTLE wealth. I've always loved to write poems but stopped I just kind of moved on and dropped. Hopefully by the time you finish I'm still writing. Stopping to write is a habit I'm fighting. I'm quirky, fun, and love to be silly. I'm a girly girl; romantic comedies, make-up, all that ***** nilly. I own a skateboard and play video games occasionally. I socialize a lot and try to stay with company ever so painfully. I love people, though I can be shy. It's just a thing I do, I don't know why. So there's a lot about me, I hoped you enjoyed my story heehee. Hopefully I can actually meet you too! See you soon, I bid you adieu. c:

Hi! I'm Narnia
They get the holidays they stole from us They get Ostara, Yule and Samhain Easter, Christmas and Halloween They get the crosses on greeting cards Their bibles in store aisles They are praised for those crimes against us How they hung and hunted us Drowned and undressed us They get to stand on their pedestals with megaphones Outside of schools and businesses Door to door through neighborhoods And preach about their hate Tell us no matter what we believe If it is not God then it must be sin That if they do not stop us Then Lucifer will win Warts on noses, green skin and greasy hair That is how a witch is pictured everywhere Cackling and cursing, evil, wicked and vile That is the image that they gave to us after they robbed and ***** us They mock us in their media and treat us like comedies Turn our magic into fiction and throw out the science They make a mockery of our practice, spread all these lies of what it is not Take the death card in tarot, the Tv says it means you’ll die But a witch will tell you it means a new chapter of your life Double double toil and trouble Just once I’d like to see their plans foiled Fire burn and cauldron bubble Watch as we rebuild from the rubble Never ask us why we have such anger Why we don’t want to stand around your manger Because when people say the word witch They say it like they call a woman *****

Proselytism
it starts with a chug a push of steam leaning into the next chug more resolved even desperate building momentum with each turn three thoughtless words leave the station blowing spiral exhaust picking up sentences along the way passengers climb aboard destination cars riding click clack click clack lyric tracks as they squelch an urge to peer ahead for the blind belly-gripping corners hiding morbid thoughts of finding themselves somewhere in an ominous tunnel with a villain from chapter 3 but they come anyway paying good fare with cash and unbartered time reserved for such a season as this infinite itineraries through countrysides and comedies mountains and mysteries prairies and poetry highlight endless whistle stop fantasies predestined by curious minds throwing line by line hypnotic leisure into the rhythm of the wheels beauty is revealed through the picture windows of books yet in the midst of gorgeous landscapes undreamt dismantling jumps hardened steel guides in these words: *...I would have been referred to religion, the cemetery where questions of faith are answered....* the pleasant journey comes derailed on the slip switch possessed of both genius and sadness for cemeteries are only death if they are the end of the vision tombstones create blind men of brilliant skeptics when Lazarus lives the tomb is empty and the end isn't faith puts the train upright setting the switches to forever bypassing graveyards and riding to the unquenchable light.

The Reading Railroad
Don’t believe them (*the books the fairy tales the romantic comedies*) when they tell you, “Love will find a way.” They are liars, spinning words like the Serpent to Eve. Love does not always prevail. Sometimes, you are twenty and stupid and far too drunk and when you wake up in the morning, he is gone. Sometimes you think, “I’ll tell him tomorrow,” and tomorrow never comes. Sometimes, he is the groom and you are the girl at the back of the church he once dated in college and forgot about. Sometimes, you are the bride and because this isn’t Hollywood, no one stops the wedding. Sometimes, you wait up until four o’clock in the morning for his call. Sometimes, it never comes. Sometimes, he dies. Sometimes, you do. Sometimes, you fight and yell and sob into the phone to your mother— who married too young and never really knew how to care for you anyway— but no matter how many dishes you throw, you just can’t make it work. Sometimes, he is a man when you marry him and a monster by the time your daughter is born. Sometimes, you drop your change in the supermarket, the mall, the subway, and when your fingers brush as you both reach down to scoop up the scattered pennies and dimes, you feel that electric shock. You look into his deep graygreenbluebrown eyes and see everything that will be: all the adventures not yet had, the promises not yet made— and then, amidst all that unlived life, his wife (girlfriend, fiancé) calls to him from twenty feet away and those promises never get made at all. Sometimes, you like him and he likes the girl with the long blonde hair and prettier smile. Sometimes, he likes you and you honestly just don’t give a **** Sometimes, there is no Prince Charming on a great white steed coming to battle the dragon. Sometimes, you have to save yourself. Sometimes, survival is the only happy ending. Sometimes, your families are feuding and no matter how much you try, you cannot reason with your father or mother or whoever is keeping you apart. Sometimes, after that, you both just die. Sometimes, it’s all about the timing. Sometimes, you go in one door and he goes out another, And then you never meet. Sometimes, you sob into your pillow and beg God to change his mind for you, but no amount of wishing can bring him back. Sometimes, you are separated—by culture, by Time, by universes, by a fate that has decided to break your heart in every way possible and then toss you out to sea just one last time, just to see if you’ll survive. Sometimes you never find that someone who makes your skin burn, who drives you crazy or keeps you sane. Sometimes, you are just lonely and then you die. Love doesn’t always prevail. But sometimes. Just sometimes. It does.

The truth about love
Don’t believe them (*the books the fairy tales the romantic comedies*) when they tell you, “Love will find a way.” They are liars, spinning words like the Serpent to Eve. Love does not always prevail. Sometimes, you are twenty and stupid and far too drunk and when you wake up in the morning, he is gone.

I call upon their harmony They honor me with artistry The pupils of Apollo's Lyre resonant inside of me Calliope adventurous, Intrepid in her recklessness Emboldening my will to lead The unenlightened on this quest Through Clio's scrolls of history My oracle clairvoyant She has graced me with the vision Of the future sky chatoyant And a buoyant sea of Euterpe All floating through the lyricist That synchronizes all of this Into a metamorphosis Evolving as Erato's love A heart as soft as silk A dove, tabula rasa thirsting for The Mother Gaea's milk To rise from Melpomene Masks of tragic flaws of Icarus For I divine the comedies Thalia simply can't resist Polyhymnia, Terpsichore My rarest of expressions Still reveal themselves in forms Of spirit guide possessions When Urania in cosmic bliss Transports me to the stars Reborn again to join them As Mnemosyne's memoirs

Invocation of the Muses
the mange of our fuzzy logic is squandered on the imbecile. and genius is the gene splice of twelve comedies. a rogue moon in a hooligan. it jumps the fence and can't jump back. lacking the tool that undoes the beauty of the obvious. that quaintly dismisses the Oh ! My ! God ! we cringe in the ether of our ignorance, spooning the villain.   the Mind is the Common Sense Killer.... it dives and triumphs in the acetone conundrum of our proximity to dissipation. the bold features of our doldrums are the perfect ugly perfection of our flaws. our love is the rigid agenda of a massacre. we the people, are the juvenile, sprained wrist of a boggart ! a Fae dreary. we have our business in the withers of dead horses. we are well versed in the tundra tongue of our flat humor. we assume the rumors are true. and the tyranny that freed you is the misery you love with and your beautiful doom kissing a mirror... a Thing.
