moving! (journal log entry # unknown)

yes yas yes yas yesh

i was approved with conditions!

social credit system

don’t be poor or you will be punished by the ones we make rich!

the carefully considered scared me but they told me on the phone first like a normal person


the big move day is coming!

i get to go be miserable in a new place!

a new timezone!

a porch!

updated appliances!

vinyl flooring but the bedroom has carpet!

there’s a microwave!

it’s quiet!

no crime!

i was approved the same day!

they answer the phone when you call!

im grateful

i want to thank god



this is her!

a small quiet updated space with a porch!

happy i was approved!

only carpet in the bedroom

thank fuck


i woke up today and said today we find a place

and we did!

and now i have less than 60 days to vacate

and i must pay 2 months rent for abandoning ship (or civil court)

and i must pay an additional deposit for being on the lower portion of the totem pole


i had to pay for insurance too

but no hoa!

she also said the rent would not increase, i hope it really is locked in at the price it stands

i am doing 13 months!

sounds like hard time!

criminals don’t have to feed themselves

criminals get an hour of sunshine a day


meanwhile…

i mean, i guess it is better than an eviction notice?

i am evicting myself?

and paying for it too…


it is worth it to start over

to leave this portion of hell

i also never lived where i am moving, only vacations there

so new city

and not to be sentimental and all?

… but my apartment building happens to be C


my unit is C###


cliffs mostly

is there a suicide hotline for trying to buy a home?


mold specialist said landlord wont really do anything about it “there isnt really a law”

and the estimate is around $600 for them to “test the air” and “send to lab”


honey, the house is sick

im sick

stay back

him: “wtf did you do while i was gone for 6 months”

me: it was 10,000 years

*witch burning*



the curse would not have been released if they hadn’t built on the damn swamps

“natural aquifers”

“over development”

“globalism”

i knew the hope would be gone as soon as it came

im not wanted in their city


cockroaches and mold

my worth im told


daddy isn’t the best daddy in the world anymore


this is why we pay for a third party tho?

so they cant not sell you a house cuz “they dont like you”

so the realtor can be left on read instead of me?


me: “don’t give up”

the world: “give up”


tricky slopes


maybe they just dont want a vet there, with them bodies buried out back?

by the birdhouse?


i know too much?


them: “whats the combo to the lock”

me: “i didnt even know we had a lock”

“maybe dont bash my head into the concrete”

“cant narc if you cant remember”


“cant find my keys, you know where those went off to”

also me: “oh i left them right where i said i would forget”



you’re gonna forget you left them there…


i don’t know if that classifies me as an oracle or what


but like i know im gonna always do something wrong


at least i can laugh about losing my mind


the neighbor thinks im happy


the laughter just goes on and on you know

followed by the cries…


maybe the cold feet weren’t mine


“i won’t”…”keep trying…” “ghosted me”



daddy probably has skeletons in his closet


and buried in the backyard


people dont realize how many people have died before them


in the same houses they sleep in on the new carpet growing mold within


“it’s in the air” cuz they cut down the wrong trees

said “build here”

and when the good doctor was diagnosing folks with “sick building syndrome” the chinese government shut him down, said no mo!

people werent allowed to know that the brand new building was built on unholy ground

and you get sick – go to the good doc who gaslights you and makes you worse – and your landlord will say “natural, you’re breathing”

but they put up all these plastic strips on the window that harbor mold and let the water pool around the edges

until the condos fall in

“nature”


“do not feed the wildlife”

everyone: *hunts them to extinction / watches them starve*


numbers and cliffs

i prayed for guidance about Blue

“should i look at more”

“should i go all in”

“it ticks all the box”

“including creepy”

the only thing i do not like is the high risk factor – but it is not a great flood

but a great fire

pick yer poison?

i mean the house is blue

“i thought you were gonna paint the hideous blue”

“the flames will ignore”

“well i think it’s kinda cute”

go all in huh?

it’s not quite “all in” but it is when you realize im taking on a pot of gold or dead bodies?

i got in the tub with cold feet but Sylvia was right (nearly) (and she should have took a bath instead of turning the stove) (still she was married to a psychopath and they love to steal our energy, time, and souls)

the feet were cold getting in but not getting out

and i sleep in various increments, i guess we should divorce? time for separate rooms? im loud?

it’s just i woke up wanting Blue – and that entire empire of “hmmm what is this” “where are the spy cams hidden”

(like aren’t you suppose to feel rested and less paranoid where you reside)

(i guess the paranoia will follow me through the war. i mean world)

i needed answers

i was like “literally a sign i will know is a sign”

so new numbers appeared

and i had just woke up at the “recommended sleep time” that the Insomniac coach gave me (yes it wants me to go to sleep at the times i keep waking up

but alas 222

and though they were speaking my language – i didn’t know the full meaning – just that it was meant for me (like all his lines)


if i start speaking in codes that even i don’t understand, i hope he will

because getting 555 and 222 from the uni


there are cheaper homes (hard to call a $100k dollar home “cheap”) and unfurnished


i literally have no idea how to decorate

i just know what i like and do not

and i like blue

out of the 14 homes he sent me based on all my demands

i have 3 people on my team working with me

got in the tub with cold feet but i didnt wake up that way

did you know blue was built the year i was born

i haven’t even seen her (physically) and im worried a dark colored rock is gonna steal her as soon as i do


nobody wants a fully furnished airbnb painted blue?


i wanna wake up and be that sim who has a 200k house to pay off


i wanna take a bath with the birds


but there are some amazing properties cheaper (on waaaayyyyy more land & unfurnished)


it’s just this one is “move in ready” seeing as i no longer have a pot to piss in


98% of everything i ever owned is gone

and the mold specialist called with some great tips

and i dont have to abandon my new wardrobe for fear of a “mold spore”


anyway hopes not up

prepared and willing to see more homes

if the dark rock fucks with me too much, i will get a fucking TENT


if i can still afford one after my tiny life savings was gobbled up by the Boomers to send to Ukraine and to pay for their homes on the cliffs!?! either way

remember how i told you they will back you off a cliff?

and then scold you for standing there?

if i move into another crappy moldy cockroach filled apt – with the potential of the ceiling caving in “cuz sometimes they do” (and he is “willing to come down to $1k monthly” that does not include amenities or the hoa’s for a 500ish sq ft condo cuz of the roaches tho they just “sprayed” and the unit “fully updated”

i squealed like a pig being gutted when i opened up the gorgeous brand new refrigerator and 3 cockroaches freaked out

me: “you need to spray again”

realtor who wants me to pay him $50 mo for an HOA “i can come down to 1000”


and im not allowed to rent a unit above $1200

but im allowed a fucking morg above that)

(nobody pushes bb in the corner but the boomers)

and all the houses are going for that with or without the furnishings


and i aint moving to Utah – not yet John

sorry

maybe the tub will float?

oh wait, calling for fire

but the whole of US is gonna flood but yer home eh

i mean, i hope the tub floats

sometimes if you pretend you don’t see the monsters they will leave you alone

i guess closing your eyes is a form of disassociation


im either all in or nothing at all (just a feeling)

like Florida will do what that other state just did

there are ways to fight back – without drawing blood


they may have taken our freedom of speech but not the spirit of the great eagle and what makes America so great!!!!! stop making shit so hard cuz you jelly!!!!!

they can’t take away our networking (word of mouth) and social bonds!

we werent born yesterday!

this isnt gonna go the way you want!!!!


i might could find some harmony in that tub out back



“im sorry, the owner changed their mind. nothing is for sale. but you can still eat the pizza”



the house has everything i need ready to go

i aint got no money to buy no washing machine dyer fridge stove microwave tv couch

i was coming with pillows and clothes (and an old senior dog)


p.s. im just trying to move out of the moldy cockroachy environment into a more suitable for dying habitat


it seems i may have to go all in for that

and since the boomers stole my retirement

i wont have any money to buy a stove

if a buy a house


“heyyyy ma we got a roof over our head but we aint eating!!!!!!”


but blue has everything i need right now – to move in


natural light. fertile garden. half acre. historic area. “fun stuff nearby”


pro tip: everyone wants to paint their shit blue now since it is a magical color


it has a new roof age 4

it aint tin!!!!!

ill give them exactly what they r asking

per Realtor guidance

(but also my loan provider says i can get up to $2k monthly)

Boomers say i need to earn $6k a month to live somewhere without the crime or cockroaches

or go “all in” or be homeless – i mean the odds are stacked against us fully chained


im losing my own “fertility” down the fucking toilet every 3 weeks – and just like Jackie I have a hard time letting go after effort has been put in – and bless her little heart seeing the realization with the ravens visiting

she will have to leave the eggs behind for the ravens

another harvest failed


ill drop poems when i aint busy trying to save my life

dying can be long and tedious sometimes

hence “assisted suicide”

but i don’t need anyone to “assist me”


i dont want anyone seeing me “bleed down there” or out my fucking brain and nostrils


there’s already a bird bath to feed the birds


“comes as is”

and yes the VA do inspections, this is legit


if God gave you a tiny pot of gold, what would you buy?



would you go all in?


oh wow

blue is currently sitting at 209k (boomers and inflation yeah)

did the value increase with the dead body or something?

it has had a lot of price decreases and the risk of floods here are low

5 unhealthy days in 5 years

and she was built the year i was born

she has passed through so many sales and hands

so people have died there?

she is on a half acre

gold and dead bodies could be buried there?

im ready to put an offer in but turns out i see ID tomorrow (she’s a good doctor but i aint in love with her or rescheduling)

no flooding, built the year i was born

well he has sent me 14 properties to look at

some really good ones

with lots of land

but he wanted to also show me a property “move in ready” “furnished” as i did request to look at them

it required him changing the 1-5 acres tho

to half or less…



sometimes there are too many doors


and i can get something less than the bigger amount

you know, closer to 100 or less?

go big or go home?

i don’t have anything to offer so there is nothing to lose?


the new roof is 4 years old

the stuff inside is a fucking headache

i aint sleeping on a bed people have been sinning in

but the tubs can be cleaned

half acre is plenty space for a small garden

i will install iron bars on the windows

iron gates…

yasss

install security

try not and get the urge to start digging holes in Florida in the middle of the night

cuz we all know what happens when you start digging holes…


comes as is

a bird bath right next to the outdoors porcelain claw bath

“comes as is, with dead bodies buried out back and all”

maybe i can keep a few things

like the “best dad ever” sign

for esthetics

but why is the blue house for sale?

is it the crime?

flooding?

can’t be used as a airbnb?

dead body outside under the tub?

taxes too high?

died?

i have so many questions but for 6k i could move somewhere more expensive and with more cockroaches with “sometimes the ceiling caves in”

im pretty certain i already worry about the cracks in the ceiling here – as much as the mold

or drop 10k on the blue house with a big screen “comes with everything” – including potentially a dead body under the tub in the fertile garden

i mean, i have so many questions like “when can we go see it”

and he is like “tomorrow”

and im like “prob too soon”

i hope i text “available to see blue today or tomorrow” at like 5 am


i mean the air has been so toxic i can’t make any decisions

2 bedroom 2 bath + 1 additional tub in the fertile garden out back

“can bathe with the birds and dead bodies”

him: “ominous”

oh wait, wrong story


the blue house is good enough to rent (or was)

and now they cant and for sale?

and it is $600 to do an inspection which includes the 10k

what is lurking behind the curtains (i mean rugs, pictures, tv?)

it would be all mine

an empire of dirt (and dead bodies?)

i need the blue house

that’s the same kind of tub morrison died in?

wait, what part of Florida was he born?

(Melbourne – not quite Melrose but close)

(same state)

i have looked at a lot of potential properties

and rental units too

mostly online and the paper and booklets

the mold has been killing me –

wtf is hiding under that tub and can the creeps at the park see?

“everything has to go”

“sorry not the best daddy sign, everything but that”

is daddy not the best daddy anymore, is that why the house is for sale?

omg the stories i could write in blue

in the tub outback

behind the fence

by the bird bath…

“the saddest girl in the world lives on Melrose”

“yeah she done gone and bought a house fully furnished “as is””

“…heard there were some dead bodies out back”

“…under the tub”

“…in the fertile garden”

them: “whaaaaaat”


sold my empire of shit to buy another’s?

if daddy has left me a lump sum of money in that house, he may in fact be the best dad ever


Dear God

*need land and a husband*

*please heal me*

2 month supply of detox arrived!

I am my own healthcare practitioner

victoriahealth.com

Found the stuff without the bad junk

No sugar junk

And this came in a glass bottle, the big ticket items

Fighting for my life

Tell God I don’t want to die

*Quarantined not scared*

*selfless service*

*Sacrifice*

It wasn’t worth jumping into the trench

Got my free speech stolen too

*wakey wakey*

111 pounds currently and have detoxed and rebound around 30-50 pounds of the Devil

The vaccine nearly wiped me out

Finally getting rays of my lungs this week – they wanna put me under – no no no

No no no no no no

*takes raw shot of ginger*

*sweats for 2 minutes*

*nearly dies*

X 8 days in a row of 30 days ginger raw shots

HOLY GAWD

*mouth burns*

*face blushes*

*goes through purification process to find husband*

Him: “what’s yer number count”

Me: *ghosts him*

I’m practically a nun and the reason you see a prostitute

You left me fucking behind

“No child left behind” came out after I was left behind

Uhm hello!!!!!!

*sobs*

So, I wanna write poems with different words that sound the same

I don’t recall the lesson here

Same words but different

I wanna start writing code into my poetry like EAP

I did it one time – I don’t regret it at all – though humiliated and crucified

I sweat out years of fast food

GROSS


I found sungrown and happiness *sigh* (trigger warning)

Trigger warning: addiction

I’m not renewing my card stash but I might cuz I found sungrown in the ground with the sun and trademarked! They tell you where the strain comes from! Florida or Amsterdam etc – there is waayyy less packaging and they treat their shop like a medicinal shop instead of recreational. Did I mention they grow stuff in the ground with the sun?

Makes a difference and it works! I still want to quit and my card expires on 4/19, right as all the good deals are coming in.

I don’t have to worry about fentanyl laced products and this is legal and no I won’t share or buy you any (get yer own card$)

Not Delta 8

I still want to quit but this is the stuff that works

Also not seen – vape pens & 2 free pre-rolls I scored

Today I turned on the radio and got lost in 90s alternative and metal doom

I was like THIS IS THE SHIT

I AIN’T DYING LIKE BOB

I haven’t used up my allotment yet and still have 2 days of potential relapse shopping to do

There went the rent money honey

(I scored it ridiculously cheap and am having a panic that I won’t be able to top up without my card)

(I’ll be racing to the doctor, help, hurry, my card expired)

(So I was trying to avoid that scenario by spending my savings)

I hate me but a little less today because the weed is working

I don’t think I’ve ever had this much weed in one sitting before but alas it’s the apocalypse and I’m trying to quit an addiction

I’m feeling less homicidal off the Curaleaf Russian cloned “the state won’t let us grow it in the ground” junk

Only 2 in that stack isn’t “sungrown” and the fact that they had to “TM” their products

Stay away from Curaleaf

I found “sungrown” at GrowHealthy but I don’t know who owns it

But I like that they have LOCAL herbs – grown right here in the “sunshine state”

I picked up another “mystery plant” today – making this number 4

He’s in the mini tin in the windowsill and already had some delicious spring water

I have 4 pots to put them in once they mature but I have no idea how to move them – and still – with directions – couldn’t make the “paper pot”

Also scored more seeds for my land – once owned. These are non GMO, USA seeds. Added some spicy peppers to my collection!

Him: what sort of things do you need?

Me: a goT damn garden

Sungrown

*sigh*

The other store was selling “head space” at a luxury price and all hydroponic crap (which made me want to gut Bob and I was like “but whyyyyyy”)

Today I enjoyed music again (with the help of “sungrown” TM)

I’m hoping I turn my apartment into a food jungle but why am I afraid of plants and all of this?

Like putting a seed into dirt, sun, spring water and watching it turn into food that will nourish me

Like woah

That’s more than my mother did

Anyhoo

Bath time and cannoli’s

I needed something to regret wasting my money on other than weed


Shotgun (poetry)

I wish I’d hear news of your death
I’d be winded
Overcome with giddy
You think I’m kidding?

I’d start a committee
Organize their pity
Piss on your city
Sorrow is silly


He likes to use the word “our”
But I’m not allowed in his yard
At any hour
The wind blows hard


I need to bunker down
Spend six months alone
Get out of this town
Let him feel the undertow


I’m reactive
Chemical explosive proactive
Positive attracted
Faith compacted


“Baby’s not allowed to see”
Words said cruelly
Cut right through me
Trust left fully
Got nowhere left to be


He wants me in a red bow
Lingering low
Black night and espresso
Staggering combo


He’s not a friend
He’s a one-way street
To a dead end
Devil called “shotgun” seat


I spend too much time and money for simple validation
Guys are cheap
There’s never a rose or coffee waiting
But another message complaining they are aching
Meanwhile, bills are paid and fridge is full – none of which they are responsible for
None of them would pick me off the floor
So I’m closing my own door


It feels redundant
Swimming up a current
I know I’m not stunning
Losing’s unbecoming


I deserve the cold earth
Rotting in the ground
Born with so little worth
Not gonna stick around


Kink and Coffee
Blowjobs and toffee

Changes coming to my blog / websites 🥳

I reckon I’m gonna have to bite the WordPress hook and upgrade my personal plan to the premium plan since I’ve used up all my 6GB of storage space 🙄 and just pretend the universe is pushing me to upgrade my plan so I can have more media space to upload photos but also unpack yeti from its box to do soft poetry readings and spoken word

To be fair, I have been dying

But I will also at some point maybe be producing some subscriber only content on my blog/website instead of over on OnlyFans (I don’t do porn or self-gratification, I’m an artist and do nude photography – many say softcore is obsolete, but I’ll be offering it here on my website instead- and if someone could please teach me how to set up subscriptions on WP instead of me having to go figure it out through WordPress that would be great)

I’m already on a plan that allows subscriptions and donations, I’ve just used up all my media space and either need to delete stuff off my website or upgrade and at this point it’s time to upgrade because I’m growing aren’t I? I have over 1000 followers now and nearly 100,000 views!! 👀

So when I’m not dying and can put my head into the WordPress books I will figure out how to do the subscriber only content (this won’t be for every post, just my random spicer content)!

Not everyone wants to see my exclusive Rated R nude content but I’m tired of giving other platforms my visitors – especially when most platforms I have zero voice as an artist

I don’t want to push people to another platform when they come to visit my website

I want you to stay here in heaven with me 😇

GIVE ME ALL YOUR ATTENTION 🤩

I was at urgent care yesterday again so I don’t know how quickly I’ll be able to get stuff going but just know stuff is in the pipeline and I would like to get some more nude content out to you, it will be through my own website though, you won’t have to leave or sign-up anywhere else

I’m indecisive on what I’m doing with my Patreon account but I’ve been very grateful for your support over the years!

Because of it, my website has and remains advertisement free (zero spam)!

If you sign up for my blog posts via email, advertising will never be in your email either! Zero spam!

I may be the last place on earth that’s free of advertising 🤔

But you won’t have to worry about accidentally hitting an advertisement when scrolling or installing spyware or a virus

You can scroll freely without a condom ahem 🤪

I’m dealing with heart and lung issues since I got the vaccine – I’m still a weirdo tho and I miss doing the cosplay for you to accompany the rants, poetry and prose!

I will definitely upgrade my plan soon so I can at least start attaching photographs again to my rants and poetry

It may be the new year before I start any subscription only content!

I may do it via donation instead of subscription (like where you can pay a small fee to unlock the post)…

Stay tuned

Dying but not dead…

PSST… I have a free OnlyFans and will be active there when I’m feeling better – thank you for subscribing! My inbox is open there to say hello! I’ll let everyone know when I’m back and active! I’ll be going live over there to show you the beach and things! Softcore 🤪

Paradigm

Are we adrift?
In a sea of destiny?
Is this a paradigm shift?
Is there any love for me?

Yelling at everybody on TikTok who keeps talking about the baby boomers, the millennials, and generation Z and completely ignoring the fact that generation X exist – just like my goddamn childhood – I have no fucking identity 😑

Statistically speaking, I guarantee you there have been more people who have dropped dead by suicide by generation X than of all the generations that have gone before or after

I’d like to see that chart

Suicides per generation

I bet my goddamn life on it that Generation X will have the most deaths via suicide

And I’m not just yelling at them but blocking them

Jesus was pretty angry at the establishment before he died though too

And the people

👀

Hold

How do you hold onto an ocean current?
There are continents pulling to get away.

Sunspots are forming from your grip.
These tides rise as high as a moon.

The seas are calling and beckoning.
Can you not hear our cries?

The backdrop is hope.
It went missing from the wide blue sky.

How do you tell heaven to kneel?
Your indigo is a ruse.

Still, are there not galaxies forming under your will?
We collide and bruise.

A bit of a Frankenstein poem for you; half non-rhyme, half rhyme- unintentional.

Thanks for checking out my work and supporting indie artist!! I appreciate!


My LinkTree will take you places: https://linktr.ee/poeeternal


Depths

Why are you a moon behind a cloud?
Exterminating the sun
And everything I’ve done
I don’t have the gumption to fight the blues
These depths you send me to are pressurized
Why do you flank my fears
Have I not sacrificed enough tears?
My blood thick of you
And every molecule
I’m stuck like glue
Can you erase me from your shit list
Sketch a smile or two?
I do not fare well
When feet are quicksand
Head sinking too
Your berries are poison but I ate a few
Just to taste the bitterness you accrue
Just to feel the things you do
Why do you lead me to darkness?
All these acres feels like abandonment
The atmosphere tenuous
Like the link of us
How do you forget?
Was it as quick as lightning
Your exit?
Still I trace your silhouette
I find clues on my doorstep
Was that your regret?
Leaving me too soon?
Is that my tears you collect?
Is defeat what you accept?
Please return this June
Preferably by noon

Water

The driest places on Earth, are often near the sea
You must be water, rushing over me
Replenishing
Turning tumbleweed into finery

You must be snow
Not like winter though
Even if you are cold
My love can never fold

You must be the clouds
Where my heart enshrouds
Becalming angry crowds
Why my eyes are always wowed

You must be ice
Clear and precise
And I your vice
Or maybe city lights

You could be a pond
All my love and beyond
It is you I am fond
Growing strong is our bond

You must be a river
And your love like a whisper
In my dreams the best kisser
In my skies the Big Dipper

Protocol

I’m not interested in riches
Burning bridges
Living vicious
Or his digits

The way he itches
Making wishes
Hiding in ditches
Losing inches

I lost interest in the fires
All desires
Walking wires
Finding liars

He’s living slummy
Chasing honey
A gifted rummy
Acting dummy

My eyes were faded
Mostly jaded
Temporarily sedated
Now I’m frustrated

I’m over his wall
Yet still I crawl
A broken doll
Hating his protocol

The End

The muse faded like a candle
I watched him glow
I let him go
Traded one high for a low

The scene played like a scandal
I watched the light trickle slow
Dismissing all I know
The end already foretold

He disappeared like a vandal
Left me with woe
The distances I would row
Just to watch him grow

Maybe I am hard to handle
But love is snow
Oh, so very cold
And I linger so

Cowering

He’ll die a hundred times before his death
He’ll stand a coward as he holds his breath
He’s never loved but that’s my guess
Misunderstood and second-best

© Delia Ross. 2020


Look, I don’t think he is second-best but I believe he does and so he cowers into the man he will never be. It’s easier for him to die than it is to step. To become the man he could be. That takes real effort. Perhaps courage is what he lacks. He needs to go see The Wizard of Oz. I mean it’s the end of the world, no better time… And while he’s there I hope he gets me those little ruby red slippers. They will only fit my feet. Cuz he’s my home. TETHERED. And there’s nothing he can do about it..


No filter. All alone for the end of the world. *sigh*

Eagle

I am like an eagle
I’m trying to unplug sheeple
I am raising flags on evil
Corporations are not people

They won’t understand
I’m fighting for their life
I’ve fighted for their rights
I’m shining all the lights

BIG PHARMA IS A CANCER
DO YOU NEED ANOTHER ANSWER
PILLS ARE JUST AN ANCHOR
THEY’LL SEND YOU TO A CHAMBER

Another death, big pharm to blame, I’M ANGRY!!!!!

Love Beats On

“Stop! What are you doing?”, he demanded an answer holding a look of shock
Her face stained with black mascara and fear so thick she could hardly talk
He kneeled down beside her, their eyes in a gridlock
“I’ve learned you are the one and now it’s time to walk the walk”
Lips connected and fate started their heart clock

Love beats on…

A sad beginning with a happy ending. The middle is now. Unwritten.

Sad angel (selfie)
Teach me that I’m worth more than my mistakes (selfie)
I think people should be worth more than their mistakes (selfie)
Don’t you? (Selfie, no filter)

Bad Feathers

Her wings wrought from sorrow, stained with regret
And if there’s any forgiveness, he hasn’t given it yet
If love had a mirror it would reflect his spirit
If any hand were worthy, his has merit

She wraps her wing around his heart
She prays it helps the pain depart
It is not a solution but it is a start
Even angels are known to break apart

She awaits quietly in silent prayer
As she tends his heart from its despair
There is no love that can compare
She plucks out bad feathers showing wear and tear

She shuts her eyes and makes a wish
She simmers any flames of anguish
So love may again feel its warmest
Where for him it was found coldest

I’d remove every feather if it meant never hurting you again.

Comment Threading

I disabled the comment threading and sorted it by oldest first so now comments should be really easy to post and to read! I couldn’t stand that comment threading bullshit. And to other bloggers who use comment threading, I recommend you disabling it because it’s a pain in the ass just trying to read or respond to your blog post. It took me all of 30 seconds in the settings to sort it. If you need helps, let me know. It’s totally okay to ask me for help.

Also if you come at me with a metaphorical gun, I’m locked and loaded with a metaphorical fucking grenade launcher and basic training in the Army taught me how to use a real one! You might want to think twice about picking a fight with me. I have NO FEELINGS.

P.S. I’m actually one of the sweetest people you can ever meet, just don’t tread on me!

I BITE
FALLEN ANGEL, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?
Yeps
And if you don’t like me, GOOD. GO THE FUCK AWAY
My response when someone doesn’t like me
Back when I hads a cute cut!!! NO FILTER
I ain’t got no time for hoes or bitches, and yes that is a whip in my hand but also no makeups so go easy on me (and fangs of course, again I BITE)
I KNOW MY FUCKING WORTH, DO YOU!?!
NARCISSISM
And I know I have the body and mind of a 15 year old; you don’t have to be a dick about it… and this photo is CURRENT as of the other fucking day
Oh my heart, thank you for looking at me with worth every time and never taking your eyes from me when I’m around. And this here photo was from my birthday in August. These boys keep hurting me and Gavin keeps healing me. And so, peeps are making me feel worthless again and so I needed a reminder. This is Gavin Rossdale of Bush and he saved my life. And still is. Cuz look at how he sees me. Blurry, I care nots. Am loved.

Identity

Ruined! Ruined! He would croon
And sit I would under his Blue Moon
He’d stitch at his identity until noon
And come tomorrow sing a different tune

Essentially, all of our lives we are trying to figure out who we are. We all wear masks, don’t fool yourself. Welcome to ego. Destination: piss poor self-esteem or narcissism. Welcome to the 5th level of hell. It’s really hard to manage your consciousness here or “self”. I hope you brought rum… (and if not, why the fuck is the rum gone!?!)

Loss For Words

Take my hand, replace the pen with blade
Remove the smile and put on the ache
Close my eyes and pull down the shade
Memories are better when they fade

Take the ink and spread it on my pain
Ensure the tears are gone without a trace
Organize regrets and hide their face
Erase the love that’s written on the page

Say amends but never say goodbye
The space so far he’d never hear me cry
If I could take his pain you know I’d try
And if he ever wrote I would reply

having feels

Undiscovered

I live in the words of how another sees me
I live inside the bruises of past enemies
Ex-lovers chain me to memories of who I used to be
Held to the past of visions I am now blind to see

Many with offerings of second chances
But none offer a dime to help with my finances
I’ve been under their rule and cancelled the classes
That girl died when I removed her tinted glasses

I had to untangle the worry where it had knotted
I had to prune the weeds where my heart had rotted
I had to learn to dance where my memories were haunted
I had to hug the parts they all said were unwanted

I may be alone but I am not desperate
People may change but I’m still a skeptic
I may be tame but I’m growing restless
I may be weak but I’ve never been helpless

It is true I’ve taken many lovers
My past is filled with several colors
Regrets have visited over many summers
So much wasted time for a love still undiscovered

Aligned

You’ll find you’ll hardly make it out alive
You’ll find you’ll hardly make it out in time
You’ll find him hidden inside my rhyme
You’ll find she’s rarely ever cross your mind
You’ll find you can see where you were blind
You’ll know where to find me if so inclined
You’ll find me in jail where my hearts been confined
Though uncoupled we are still aligned
Our souls in orbit just as designed
Cut the ropes to your past and leave all behind

Intro

It hurts more than my feelings
It hurts more than my pride
It hurts more than my ego
It hurts more than your lies

It cost more than your freedom
It cost more than my cries
It cost more than your window
It cost more of my time

I live in limbo
While you agonize
I see a hero
You’d never recognize

This is an intro
To a better life
The cost is zero
If you drop the guise

Kinesis

I wish I could pull him in
Give him a kiss
Or free him of sin
I wish it wasn’t like this
I’m not even sure what I miss
I keep running back to his abyss
His energy is kinesis

He doesn’t need us here
We circle like a sphere 
We gather atmosphere
Into his space we steer
His distance isn’t near
He’s more than a light-year
His silence we all fear
My soul still sent out a flare

His absence I can’t dismiss
At war with his own violence
Alone in his own silence
So lost and without guidance
Impenetrable like a diamond
But love doesn’t require science
And so we all persist –
Even though he doesn’t exist

Shackles

What is it you don’t want me to know
If I did do you think I would go
Well, honey, I’m not so cold
People change, people grow

What is that you try to hide
Do you feel regret deep inside
Do you always need an alibi
You still search for light while driving blind

What is it that you need to kill
It’s redemption that you need to feel
It’s been hovering and drawing near
There’s a chance if you still want me here

What is it that you’re running from
Is it just a wound or a loaded gun
Has it left you mostly feeling numb
I swear the best is yet to come

Why do you keep your surface clean
And stay hidden beneath a screen
Did you have troubles as a teen
Your soul just needs an opening

What is it you don’t want me to find
If I did would I lose my mind
Nows the chance for you to unwind
Living life in shackles isn’t how life’s designed

RSVP Declined

Why send an invitation if it’ll just be declined
I want to be seen but I stand with the blind
Every rejection makes me more aligned
I still look confused though I’ve made up my mind
You warned you were bad but you are the worst kind

Oh teacher, oh teacher why’d you leave me blue
Another desertion what more can I do
We barely had started but now we are through
I may have been late but I can’t outrun you
Give me the full movie not just the preview

Gold Rush

His smile is a compass
Or lighthouse that guides me home
A permanent road where I’m free to roam
All enemies who enter he’ll crush

When I’m lost and all alone
I feel a sudden gentle brush
And smell a scent not like cologne
My senses ignite like a gold rush

He stands there like a stone
Fully aware he’s on his throne
My voice once loud now hush
Who needs flowers when your cheeks are flush
