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###


the kids…

the neighborhood kids were in their home playing with their windows open when i went to walk my dog

i heard their conversation change to “she’s small isn’t she” “yeah”


people don’t leave me food and charms outside my door like they do Neo

i find live rounds instead… (yes i made the front office deal with it and i refused to file a report when the cops came)

i told the cops i wasn’t allowed to call them…

i’ve been threatened not to…


imagine being paranoid and actual people after you

the children are very wise tho

cuz another day walking the dog they were outside trying to play (i think this was a diff group)

but they went from starting “hide and seek” to “we gotta get inside now”

“danger danger danger”

“my mom’s ex boyfriend is coming over”

“danger”

as they all rushed inside like they were fleeing for their life

and now hide and seek will be inside and away from the adults instead of with the trees and sunshine?

and so Sam and I also took cue to head inside our own lion’s den

cuz even children know men are monsters

and i didnt stick around to find out why

i just know they were not running from me

they normally wave and say hi

kiss the dog before he is allowed to grant permission

he has never liked children much

they move fast and he has anxiety

now he’s old, slow, has anxiety and a demon

it short circuits his little brain out

yesterday he was skip hopping down the sidewalk

the neighbor said “he looks happy”

“how old is he now ten”

“…going on thirteen, will be thirteen in august. he’s past his expiration”

“you told him that”

“well i mean he is, look at him, they won’t give him anything for his pain and sent me to amazon for anxiety meds”

“they won’t give him his good day”

“gonna wait until he has stage 4 cancer i guess”

“but right now his labs are fine and he just had a bath”

“a good day today but sometimes a bad week”


i tell my dog everything, even some things he shouldn’t hear


but the life expectancy for his breed and many dogs is ten

and he is trying to make it to thirteen…

and im always checking expiry dates

he knows about 200 words

and how to irritate every cell in my body

so he goes to his den when i am feeling triggered

and lately it is a lot

but den or good day?

cuz businesses exist that have the courage to give him what he wants


i don’t know what any of this is about…

i had to block was just appeared in my feed

it barley played .3 seconds and i was traumatized

i paused and went straight to the comments

some were saying it was too much to process

they didn’t wanna know

others wanted one as a pet to sexually assault

after a few comments – i blocked the very popular account

they were showing very up close and private details of a wombat

the way she was showing the area

im not sure why it was info i needed to know

i barely understand what is going on down there in my own world

it was like animal porn

i dunno

*eating sugar currently*

got a 2 pack of donuts and said no to the donut holes but they brought them anyway

*sips hot ginger tea*

*tries to recover from the mere second seen of the animals poo hole?*

why was she spreading it like that down there?

and she looked asian

he was white

it’s just a combo that makes me kinda throw up in my mouth

imperialism? a hard one as a female soldier to “realize”

you know, the truth about all these manmade wars


*back to reality*

they got crushed

like it’s hard yah know – to see

maybe, the steel knocked them out and they drowned in heaven

maybe they never had a chance to die in fear

cuz the window got knocked out?

so the cold dark waters rushed in?

but still…

sliding off the bridge in the dark

and someone mentioned bombs being heard

now they think the workers were terrorist

i never dismiss any new ideas

i always consider the possibilities

im a conspiracy theorist

they got crushed

good god

worst nightmare

falling from a bridge

i had to drive over that really long one going to New Orleans from Florida

i was driving like an old person

who wanted to get off the bridge asap

but i was dizzy with fear

and like 20 miles to go?

and there are gators in there?

them waters?

it took me ages to not tremble driving over the bridge here in town

any of them

it feels like Russian roulette

im not a bridge person

im even worse flying

that 18 hour flight from germany to kuwait

uggg

ive flown all over the world – too many times to count – been in a few scary situations

and why everyone in a plane looks for that one person who is scared to death (me) and fixates on them is beyond me

i always went after the free alcohol for soldiers too

(not when flying to kuwait obviously)

(we did drink during war here and there yes)

(dont ask how they got it to the desert with the toilet paper)

(sometimes they had them expensive fancy cigars)

“can i inhale it”

“you just puff”

*inhales*

ahhh nicotine that is illegal in the states????

i dunno

it’d be a fun book if some of us actually wrote one

including the dirty details

not just the heroic shit

(the heroic shit definitely out weighs the dirty details)

(of taking a shot here and there after watching people die)

(not getting any sleep)

(we were combat medics)

(with an emphasis on combat – and lives were definitely saved – but i think mine was lost in the process)

(i just aint ever been the same after sitting months in the devil’s foxhole)

(freezing to death with my m16a2 rifle praying for the sun to come up – only to be burned to death once it does)

(and then there were the sandstorms every other day)

there was that really big one, “the worse iraq had seen in 50 years” (cuz this was all taking place mostly in Iraq)

(we had some days in kuwait)

(the day we left was 118 degrees out, no shade)


but they got crushed to death

that’s gotta hurt a tiny bit crashing into the waters will steel crashing down

i don’t want to die like that…

no bridges babe

ever again


they going after our infrastructure

bankrupting us

we’re paying other countries pensions

it’s suicide



uncharted (wrong turn) (p♾️)

why did you put me here
stuck in the earth
my legs hurt

exploring the dark with lanterns
sin as wide as caverns
but not all these patterns

thanks for coming, but I really, really want out
my map, it must have the wrong route?
my brother heard me shout

it’s getting hot
i must be in the worst spot
i thirst a lot

i had a little hope
tied to a pulley on a rope
send prayers to the pope

i’m going to die right here
with walls like cashmere
choking on the atmosphere

a plaque marks the place i died
the rescuers lied
they left me inside

author note: i wrote it. but it’s not really my words. i mean they are, but not really.

i didn’t plagiarize but they do contain last words

he just kind of leaped into my soul

and i’m still coming to terms with how we’re dying

because it’s the same but not really

i think i’m having die off symptoms again and a 4th awakening

cuz im hot and sweating (pits/feet) but my body is cold and shivering

so prob hot bath soon to help the heart out

started that new “extra strong” medication

only 2 doses in with a third today

everything aches at once at times

sometimes it is localized

it attaches to your cell walls

i have a relationship with a dead boy and now more dead boys are coming to me

it’s like im dipping my toes in the afterlife and i dont wanna be there yet despite this terrible disease called society depression

nobody even wanted to attend EAP’s (Poe) funeral and now they are selling locks of his hair “for luck”

the city nor the country is safe

apparently only rich people are allowed water (like a migrant prince in Arizona)

“i thought i bought a forever home”

(i can’t stand gen Y voice – they all sound the same – had to watch on mute like all videos)

(there are only a few voices i like to hear)

(i don’t know what’s wrong with me)

(i know it’s me)

“i was dumber than six rocks”

tell her to get that smug look off her face and get back to her porn and go back to sleep puleaseee

i can tell she denounced God


did you see that gang carrying Riley in a bag over their heads?

they were driving near him or walking

and then carrying something over them

it took more than one person to carry whatever they were carrying

tall boy = Riley

hurt shoulder – embankment

crying – helpless / died

red face – blood on someone’s hands?

starting to piece together the puzzle of my dream of Riley (before he was found)


i can have all the pieces and still put it together incorrectly


i’m sorry i flipped on you and your friends?

i’m crazy?

i need meds?

there was mold possessing me?

i need an exorcism?

i date dead people?

(please don’t tell the therapist)

i’m aware i’m a monster?

ifAWOLcouldbeabandonedCHURCH

m’kay



heart somewhere in utah?

you felt me fall?

left a mark where i clawed?



FAV but we found each other too late

unless that one guy i met at 27 was him but he denounced me and god and chose porn and children instead


“nature is good for you”

it’s kind of traumatizing seeing and hearing what animals do to one another


i just don’t think i’m doing life right


it’s prob just a bored abandoned cat terrorizing everything God made cuz “it’s fun”, “it’s what i want”, “i can’t stop” cuz he’s no better than an animal and i just wish the neighbors that hear the laughing coming from the window is not of “fun nature”

they’d wanna kill me even more


the crime is still ongoing just fyi

the “bad dope” is in my backyard and when the state gave me CUD and i have to temp stop my pain and anxiety medication for 6 months – i wasn’t allowed to accept gifts or phone numbers no matter how tempting or good the offer smelled

they leave live rounds outside my window

and i ain’t never did them no wrong

‘cept that one time the gang leader living next door asked me if he could “live with me for 3 months” cuz him and his gal were splitting up (and i wasn’t gonna have to hear him beat his dog anymore through the walls) and he offered to help “catch me up on my ride” cuz “he knew i was behind” cuz we had some hurricanes out here that made us lose power for a weeks time and “love thy neighbor” (but not that much)- i’m just a big mouth (but not a narc) (or narC) and folks will never phish any info out me again ‘cept maybe “hell is real” “god is everywhere”

but i told him no immediately (despite having threatening letters by Capitol One that they were gonna start the process to remove my ride) – and so as if being sued by my creditors and having to go to court (for other debts) wasn’t humiliating enough – the judge demanding i take “3 full breaths before we start because i look like i want to jump from the bridge behind us”- and this was in a full courtroom

“the bridge behind us”

…as if that wasn’t humiliating enough i had to tell the thug “no” and he said “you can sleep on it” and i replied “i don’t need to”

and the devil got mad

said my back window would get broken

it did, the day before thanksgiving

and now all his friends cousins and brothers

make life hell for me

and there’s an undercover out here waiting on his promo

i won’t have anything to do with anyone

it ain’t just black people “we don’t talk like that”

i have ghosted my own father

why you so mad

“equal opportunity hater”

“we hate everyone”

so even if i wanted to break the law and “make peace” – i could fucking die from the w**d

I had a fucking addiction right in the middle of a gang war and like

i.dont.want.to.die.


uhm SOS?


it’s like every direction is trying to kill me and suicide is humane?


i couldnt breathe again and had to open a window and now the gangs think i aint living in fear

my third air purifier is arriving soon

30 days to close they say

i can’t manage to leave the very house that is killing me

this place aint worth dying for

these people

this town

im not gonna be able to breathe until i am far gone


i better stop laughing with the window open cuz dont wanna leave in a body bag


cop: “you need to move”

“not just from here”

“but all of Daytona”

“all of Daytona is bad”

“there’s not enough cops”


protection prayers please


i had nothing to do with this by the way: https://www.daytonabeachconnection.com/Daytona-Beach-Police-Department-makes-major-drug-bust–arrests-suspect–1-16524.html


i simply told a man “no” and bam – despite my lease stating and having a clause to protect women – i have video evidence and proof of so much shit i have been through

enough to make someone die by suicide

“you can’t make someone kill themself”

they took away the noise disturbance law in 2008

and some of the things in my head that would put me on tv – are justified


“we only hire Black people for a safe environment”


God is gonna know when im back home cuz im gonna be slinging the devils head outside the doh!


im sure one of the cats will wind up dead cuz 3 or 4 have been murdered with a vehicle by a neighbor – and i either hear the cries and see the aftermath and blood pooling – or discover them cold and dead

and i hate the things but not enough to kill them


im selling my new ps5 btw

i already know i likely probably break community guidelines and this is minority report


and you definitely in the minority if you believe in God


so JJ wanted me to know that he would not be released when the floods come

and im apparently welcome to visit anytime

he knows my greatest fear after all


“do you know why you are here”

“do you know why you are here…?”

i don’t know what brought me here

there was a period of awareness in womb – and already a desire to end life before it even started

there are dents in my rib where i rubbed –
clawing to escape the sound of my own heart

or maybe i didn’t want to be born into a monstrous world,
with the cold Antarctic as my mother
my father was a destiny of lies

my mother prayed for my death
said i wasn’t born in love
said i had the darkness in me

all while holding my sister close

the pandemic swept her from her arms and now all blame lies on me

i told her i wanted her to die in pain
i told her i wanted her to suffer more than all the suffering she had caused me

some prayers get answered and others don’t

lessons to be learned

even i am lost in purgatory
without direction

but the wind is no longer gnawing at me

only regret

i plan to bury it
deep within the crusty earth
and plant with it a seed

one day the crust will rise
an angel can spread her wings
no longer laying dormancy

i have done things i regret
to stay afloat the Tennessee river

oh the bridges i’ve been pushed from, jumped, or burned…

what brought me here

maybe the long agony hours awake
the will it takes

that even when you are in the trenches dying, you need to change your socks

it bothers me that John did not have his shoes removed

i would have been clawing the earth off of me

i would have made it cave in

on Susie….

sorry not sorry

i came here to judge!?!

i was stripped of my wings and used as a fleshlight

they want me to believe i haven’t any worth – all while trying to traffic me

the pretty ones are the biggest threat

the ones with the light

the neighbors gang up on me to harass me then scream “we fear the white one”

i am going extinct

if you aren’t serving them with sex or buying their bullshite, then phrases like “she gon be shot” are sung out

i sleep in the lions den where two girls where shot

for being good girls

had to ask the front office what it would take to get the crosses removed from the windows where the tape once was

their cheeks turned rosy; “we’ll take care of that for you”

and i am sure the undercover cop and department is looking for another promotion soon

another major drug bust went down and the gangs need to get revenge

call me paranoid but the cop told me i needed to move

not just from “here” but the entire city

and now there are things i can’t tell my therapist

now there’s really no one to trust

now it is “i need a priest, maybe this isn’t your lane”

maybe the demons in my head
maybe the feelings of unworthiness
maybe no direction

but i need to cast Satan out

you got a pill for that?

cuz maybe i’m a monster

but i still need a priest

some holy water poured on me

sos: help i’m in hell


anything over 8 will overwhelm the AI, i swore i read it – the updated blog post with tips on blogging and tags direct from WP (but jetpack or some shit)

oh… did light bulb go off?

can you give me some light?


i know we’re not talking to one another – on some deeper inception level i can’t understand but do


im so delusional or lost or disassociating or prefer dreaming to crying but i may have fallen for something i should not and have spent the year in la la land thinking i would never see them again but now it is possible i might be!?!

and now i potentially have to face the thing ive been dreaming heavily about?

is this what dying on the cross is like?


you’re not suppose to fall in love with the prostitute and im not suppose to fall in love with the doctor?

is that how this works?


asking for a friend



Florida teen drowns in Daytona Beach during ocean swim Thursday evening

A 14-year-old Altamonte Springs boy drowned during a swim in the ocean in Daytona Beach, according to Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue.
— Read on www.news-journalonline.com/story/news/local/volusia/2022/07/08/florida-teen-drowns-daytona-beach-during-ocean-swim-thursday-evening/10012010002/


14 😞

Bless his heart 😞

I’M NOT GETTING IN THE OCEAN. EVERY TIME I GO TO THE BEACH THERE ARE RED FLAGS. IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND MY FEAR, WATCH THE PINNED VIDEO ON MY TIKTOK.

I DON’T WANT TO DROWN. I DON’T WANT TO DIE.

JUST STAY HOME. CAN’T EVEN GO FOR A BIKE RIDE WITHOUT NEARLY DYING.

GOD IS TRYING TO KEEP ME SAFE

I have the WORST fear of drowning

I’m scared of all bodies of water, sometimes including my bath tub.

DEATH IS EVERYWHERE

Compass

Do you think the compass lead me to the fog? And freewill, is that something we evolve? And my hopelessness, is that something you absolve? And what of worry, do we have reason at all?

© Delia Ross. 2021 / @poeeternal

I live in a state of worry and I deserve some peace land before I die

I’ve got your poetry coming to my Patreon campaign, I’m sliding into first base I know!

I’ve kind of been dying, so can you cut me some slack? But not so much that you drop me on my head please!!! 👀

Having midlife crises 😑

John Jones

Have you ever had your chest caught on the lip of the earth?
And were you kicking in a panic reconsidering your worth?
Have you ever been so hollow the upside down became your perch?
And when all efforts were exhausted did you regret what you researched?

© Delia Ross. 2021 / @poeeternal

The story of how John Jones died in that cave hasn’t left my mind

Hands down, the scariest way to die. And he crawled into his grave. He tried Mother Earth on for size, and they became one. She wasn’t going to let him go.

Gravity scares the shit out of me.

We’re not meant to leave this Earth

I’m having feels

My doggy isn’t doing good and I reckon I ain’t either

Segregation 2.0: fear of the vaccinated

I mean it’s like we’re going through segregation issues again but this time for vaccinated and unvaccinated

Civilians are going to be the only ones left to hold down the fort because anybody with a government job has been mandated

It’s only a matter of time before they require all veterans to get vaccinated

But I ain’t getting no booster shots

Or any vaccine ever again

No flu shot

Nothing

And I don’t know why people want to chop my head off when I tell them that

I haven’t even recovered from the Moderna vaccine’s

It was only a few days ago my doctor told me my lung was fucked up

Breathing do be hurting

👀

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMd7yxjJ4/

Guess I won’t be going to this restaurant in California 👆

I just think the whole fearmongering against vaccinated people is a bit extreme 👀

What timeline is this? 👀

You fear the vaccinated? 👀

Shouldn’t you be aiming towards lawmakers? 👀

I iz confused

Are they flat earthers? 👀

The ones who fear the vaccinated? 👀

I mean, where’s the restaurant for “miracle to still be alive” 👀

I need a shirt that reads: “I survived Moderna” 👀

But I haven’t fully recovered

I mean I got a clot in my heart and a left lung that’s not even fucking inflating 👀

Where’s the restaurant for, “nearly died a mysterious death” and is Edgar Allan Poe themed (with a little corner stage for spoken word)

They’re calling the vaccinated treasonous 👀

How the fuck do you even prove that you are unvaccinated 👀

Welp. Won’t be going there 👀

Peer pressure is the COVID vaccinations

I’m not supposed to be feeling like I’m already knocking on my grave

I’m so paranoid to believe / they whipped up the perfect formula to get to me…

So yeah, taking an aspirin a day now for blood clots – well uhm – to thin my blood out and maybe keep less clots destroying my heart.

If you already suffer from underlying health issues – you need to understand the risks involved when you get that goddamn vaccine

M’kay

People have died from it, it’s not a fucking joke

I have nothing to gain from being the whistleblower

But everything to lose

👀

The phone conversation went worse.

Why the fuck did I do that second shot

If you feel it in your fucking soul to not do something, you need to listen to yourself and not what the media is peer pressuring you to do and everyone around you

That vaccine is fucking peer pressure

I collapsed and look where it got me!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn’t wanna die in my bed and now I can’t even fucking leave it!

Checkmate goes to the NWO/CDC

IO

He moves through me like rain pattering
Thunder rumbling
Dim lights reflecting from wet pavement
A calm serenity in the early A.M.
The soft sound of a match flicking
An in your face, after hours, door down kicking

He gets me thinking
Every atom increasing
Over wide expanse
To find me dreaming

Sometimes silently screaming
Can he even hear me?
Why am I always seething?
The endless bleeding
Month after month
He’s all I’m needing


Come back to me
The garden is empty now
There’s nothing to sow

Twisted twigs removed of thorn
Every step is filled with scorn

Blood and rust becomes the norm
Evil’s made and evil’s born

The sun will rise tomorrow true
But she won’t give a fuck about you

I’m not where I’m meant to be
I’m forgetful how
You said you’d never desert me in vow


When you’ve been given the hand as a pawn
So you shake the tree to see how hard a king could fall
Because death follows you all around
And fits your head like it’s a crown


Tell them I died of inexperience
Disappeared into dust and this
Nothingness
I am delirious
Feasting on nefarious
Darkness
Arrest bliss
So restless


Half dead
Half alive
Feet dragging in circles
But got throttle to survive


I’m scared
And I have no one to tell
My orders they aren’t in order
And the place looks like hell

I keep organizing disorder
In clusters of equal color
And piling to the ceiling
The clippings of my horror

But then, falling to a clutter
Every single note he said
I found it in the gutter
Where all my tears flood instead
(And fears instead of wonder)

I play slip and slide in the mud
A word I rarely utter
With thunder lightning mixed with blood
With prayers less to suffer


Wrapped in heated wool and fear


Coyotes yipping at me to stay alive
Or to die
I can’t tell a difference half the time


The fog is thicker
But my heart is wearing thinner
And I’m sick of winter
Freezing in the sun
My hope’s a killer
Stealing every grain of fun
And he made fear a winner


The heart isn’t waterproof
And my anger
Is lit up like a sunroof
I’m in danger
So I’m acting like a goof
I will hold your wager
And toss it off the roof
While you call a stranger
Thinking they can protect you

👀


If you cringe at everything you do or say
Maybe it’s because you are corrupt in a way?


I need a break from routine
From sunup to sundown
24/7
The constant dying
The endless trying
One moment to another
More yearning and crying


Tidal distortion
Everywhere he’s been
Pulled from proportion
He’s good at sneaking in
Speaks in third person
Night is on his chin


I got blood on my favorite shirt
Tell my heart it’s not the reason we’re hurt
I cover wound with a bit of dirt
I can’t recall when I wasn’t this burnt


Why did you leave? I ripped my heart open for you.


We need a heat source
Heat is life
Get me to the light
(Warmth is nice)


He went like a wave
And I caught in undertow


Give me a box
To store my bones
Let me have peace
They’ll find a home


Everybody unhinged
Don’t give a shit
On anger we’ve binged
So full of it
I’m bright, I’m lit


I’m always last at the end of a road
The last in line
Last picked
My house is cold


Two days go by
It feels a year
My hope runs dry
But not these tears


Did I not wait with contempt
As the hourglass filled with time
Every grain of sand with you on my mind
Was I ever worth an attempt?


IO

How can a moon erupt?
How long ‘til I give up?
Will volcanic ash spew in the wake of my dust?
How can a moon corrupt?


He makes me desperate
Feeling as if I am his least favorite
But then he comes from comets swinging giving me the greatest gifts
His words and his virtual kiss
Then I forget
I’m not his favorite


I called to him under darkened sky
He arrived in a meteor shower
With desire on display


Why won’t you grant me my last wish even dying?

Thank you for your support! I ordered something off of my DollsKill wishlist! 😍

https://www.dollskill.com/wishlist/shared/index/code/6aff5297b64c912c59c1dbb9379c25f0/

I fucking hate giving away surprises but I’m terrible with secrets! 🤪

Some secrets. 🤪

I may be dying but I wanna look hella good doing so.

Selected the overnight shipping.

I feel like shit and it hurts to breathe.

But, I bought something from a favorite store and I hope it fits.

The makeover continues through the dying.

On with the show…

(But someone please explain to me why I’m not allowed to smoke a menthol cigarette anymore)

*Tries to remember the type of cigarette Brandon Lee was smoking on his deathbed during his final scene in The Crow*

*lights menthol*

*takes puff*

I read the FDA is banning these things – and of course they would ban them during the apocalypse – anything to make life more hell.

(I rarely ever smoke anymore but when I do it’s the menthol. I had some tiny puffs. Like 4). Just felt like being rebellious. I’m dying. 🤢

“If I got rid of my demons, I’d miss my angel”

The Illuminati took you too didn’t they 😫

Matters of the heart

Feeling like I cannot take a breath
Or if I do, maybe it will spell death
All these tree lines, they have marked my wrath
Telling the truth, that’s my only path

Fun day in the ER.

Now I know why people wanna die in their own bed.

The hospital is the last place I wanna cross over.

If you’re disabled, elderly, or immune challenged, stay the fuck away from those vaccines.

Wear your mask.

Be the one “unvaccinated” in the small gathering.

Or stay home.

Wear your mask. It offers the same amount of protection as these vaccines do without the health risks involved.

Yeah?

I don’t have the heart to tell you

Health update

Doc says my EKG doesn’t look good. And I’ve been having heart issues lately. She says one chamber looks enlarged and one looks closed off. Just an FYI because not all disabilities are visible. Depression isn’t my only ailment. I hope you’ll excuse how shitty I look, I’m on bed rest and between doctor visits. Wanna get back to working out and cosplay soon – But I just received this news this morning about my EKG results and I’m still trying to process the news. I just returned from seeing my doctor and I’m pending being scheduled for an ultrasound. She started me on aspirin as well. She said I’m too young for this and she doesn’t like how my EKG looks.

I have a constant pain there too – knowing that it could potentially be because it’s a chamber torn is freaking me out. So I’m trying not to get into my head and into my anxiety.

So to sum things up, two of the chambers of my heart are questionable and of concern for my doctor.

I have been having chest pains and I can feel pressure in my heart. Sometimes I can feel blockages or like maybe I have blood clots.

I don’t have the heart to tell you that I’m dying

Regret?

Yeah.

Only one thing I really want before I die.

His kiss.

And a box for my bones.

I had the bullets in the chamber though didn’t I

Moderna was Russian roulette but the CDC hadn’t released the information regarding blood clots and I know it’s happening in Moderna too, I mean I’m fucking proof….

I was complaining of heart issues and potential blood clots with my doctor and she prescribed me aspirin but I’m convinced now Moderna is to blame.

There’s always going to be casualties of war.

I told you I was out here in the trenches didn’t I.

Didn’t I?

So now I’m telling you don’t get the fucking shot if you already have heart issues and are experiencing blood clot issues unless you want to play Russian roulette with the vaccine and blow your fucking heart out like I’ve done

I didn’t know the vaccine was causing blood clot issues prior to me getting dose one and and all assured I was good to go for dose two even though my blood pressure fucking dropped.

Woo hoo hold on BB!!! The end is near!

Check make for the New World Order because they won’t have to pay me any more if I fucking die

I won’t be a fucking crutch on the system anymore will I

More money in their fucking pockets to play on the fucking yachts

Casualties of war!!!!

The unknown soldier!

They got me!

Knocked out whaaaa 40 + years of my life? With a fucking vaccine I knew was too fucking new and risky to do.

I FUCKING KNEW

*tries not to go fucking crazy and destroy everything in my home that I’ve worked for

*tries not to jump off a fucking bridge

Moderna is to blame and my shitty eating habits during this fucking quarantine

Modern medicine don’t mean shit if you’ve lost your will to live

Or can’t even get into the fucking VA for a fucking ultrasound when you got two chambers in your heart fucked up

Moderna IS to blame

Oh and now we can gather in small crowds with people vaccinated and unvaccinated like fucking Russian roulette.

👀

I just threw away 40 years of my fucking life over a vaccine

Leaving

I don’t want to leave
So he puts poison on the spoon
I have a heart to grieve
I hope it fails me soon

Going in for dose 2 of Moderna today against my better judgment. Dose 1 made my blood pressure drop really low, my heart has been struggling to pump blood throughout my body (why I’ve been feeling so cold) because my heart is struggling to circulate (it’s only caring about my main organs) – oh wait – not dying yet. Or am I? 🤔

Not gonna lie, I’m freaking out in the most calm way. Through crying. More stress my petite heart does not need.

I’m scared.

I’m alone.

All alone.

Gonna die naked on the street outta pure madness.

I’m losing me mind.

And my heart is weak.

I just wanted to be somebody’s favorite just once in my life.

I wanted to feel wanted and loved.

I don’t and never have.

Because I’m not anybody’s favorite.

I only have my therapist to confide in.

Crossing

Crossing paths of time
It’s not a railroad

Looking through broken glass
Under fractured halo

Understanding always last
An expensive payload

And if I ever dared to ask
I wouldn’t have to decode

I have a science degree in communication and can’t even fucking talk.

Furthermore, my brain is quickly failing me due to TBI, PTSD, chronic depression, acute anxiety, insomnia, paranoia, nightmares (war vet), and a billion other health problems not related to my mind. Like bone and muscle problems.

Not that you care. 👍

WOO HOO

I AIN’T DYING NAKED IN THE STREET

FYI.

I’m a broken fucking doll.

And just as soon as I come along and repair one tiny piece someone else will come along and break five more.

I’ve been physically abused, I am a survivor.

My doctor is begging me to take my fucking big pharma medication and I do good eating once a day, if at all.

I need to disassociate but everybody wants my time.

Wahhhh

Meanwhile, politics make me suicidal and on edge. My dad dying has taken me to new levels of darkness I’ve never known. I’m having to rip out my own heart, which is basically my muse, because he is I and I is he and all he does it make me bleed. So, I’ve lost my muse. I don’t even know if I have fucking air to breathe because half the time I’m hyperventilating from crying.

I live alone. During a pandemic. My pets are now getting on my nerves daily in this noisy apartment life. I want solitude and silence but apparently that too only belongs to the rich.

WordPress is getting on my nerves.

The air you breathe is getting on my nerves.

I am on edge and suicidal when I am not disassociating.

But there’s never any time to disassociate and I probably won’t even get to do that when I’m dead.

Justice would be coming back as an evil spirit and haunting your every move and breath.

Once again, I dare say Edgar Allan Poe suffered from depression. I am diagnosing Edgar Allan Poe as depressed.

Maybe I should start seeking a locket of his hair.

Since his hair is now a collector’s item.

I feel like having a Britney Spears moment and shaving off all of my hair.

Anything is possible when you are suicidal. 👍

Teddy is about the only thing that doesn’t trigger me. I found him outside one day by the trash bin. Not a speck of dirt on him. No odd smell. He came home with me. He got a second chance at life. He was simply DISPOSED and I know what that feels like. I do. Tossed out like fucking trash. It gave me a mood. But now he’s centerpiece in my studio and I’ve always wanted a large stuffed animal but no one’s ever given me one. I don’t get spoiled and I take shit home with me from the trash. Nobody sends me chocolate and nobody writes me poetry.

Like, you don’t know what struggle is until you’re finding nurturing in a trash bin.

You’d never catch me eating food from a bin though, I’d die first.

Pride. Ya know?

Teddy almost wound up in a landfill. And don’t even get me started on how much we waste resources.

Are you aware of that Stuxnet virus? I’m getting ready to buy some land and go underground. Good luck knowing my addy. Paranoid soldier? You betcha!!!

Seriously tho, I recommend you watching and learning everything about it now.

Also there are two things you need to know in the event of a nuclear attack (I.E. one of those power plants goes boom) :

1. Get out of the city and 2. Get out of the city.

Get out of the cities, get out of the cities….

If you want to watch a scary movie, watch that documentary on Stuxnet.

Enjoy me online while you can because I promise you I’ll be going underground. Unplugging.

Peace and solitude if I have to die for it.

KISS MY ASS BIG BRO (Censorship) 😫😫😫

Welp. I just got the warning about account deletion from Instagram. I basically said, “I made Santa’s naughty list, visit my OF to find out how”.

Many of us are having to spend Christmas alone and away from our friends and families due to the quarantines that are placed and I’m just trying to make Christmas a little less lonesome and gloomy for everyone including myself (who just lost my dad).

So going forward anything I post on Instagram will be speechless that is IF big bro doesn’t delete me from my audience like he just threatened to do!!!

I literally just had my shower and wanted to cheer up my admirers. For God sake I haven’t even had a chance to put my makeup on yet and I’ve already got a fucking warning from Instagram that they’re going to delete my account including all my messages and my followers!!! Please stop me from having a meltdown right now. 😵😵😵

Petite bums need love too
More Christmas content coming to my onlyfans if I can calm down from big bro giving me an anxiety attack
I was literally just trying to get a quick bum shot to promote my OF. It wasn’t my bum that got me in trouble, it was my fucking mouth. And this has been an issue since kindergarten okay.
I didn’t think anyone would be interested in my tiny ass but I’m going to be putting more shots of it on my OF. It was just a behind-the-scenes photo encouraging people to join.

But Instagram has now threatened me that my account may be permanently deleted.

I think businesses need to start boycotting Facebook and Instagram to protect the little guy like me.

I mean I couldn’t even say, “hey I made Santa’s naughty list, find out how”.

Welp. Y’all remember when witches were being burned at the stake?

I feel violated. Do you know how long and how many years I’ve been working on my Instagram?

And just like that, they will take it from me.

So when I calm down from all this I’ll get back to getting dressed and putting my makeup on and doing the photoshoot like I wanted to do.

Fucking hell

WELP THE PRESS WON’T PUBLISH MY WORDS. I GONNA DIES IN THE STREET LIKE POE.

But, you don’t have to let that happen.

I’m running crazy good deals on my OnlyFans where I’m allowed to speak (kinda, you can’t say child or other terms I’m learning).

Only in America do they make nudity and sex a crime yet you can’t even watch a Hollywood film without there being some sex scene 5 minutes in. Nudity is consistently thrown in your face here but made illegal.

Thank you for your subs and follows and love, and especially all the nice things you’re telling me about my body and even the request you’re putting in (because I’ve now got some foot porn coming soon). 😍

And I have cute little Cinderella feet.

I’m also starting a new workout routine soon and I was going to share my progress on Instagram but I’ve received an eviction notice basically.

So if a musician is like “hey go check out my new track on my onlyfans” are they going to get their fucking account deleted too???? Because onlyfans is not just for nudes. That’s just one platform that sex workers can work safely.

I’m over 2020.

So if one day you can’t find me on Instagram, it’s probably because I’ve been banned.

Welp. 1984 is now.

Doses

They give me pills for the pain, pills to kill the blues
I got pills in a bottle for when there’s nothing else to lose

I got pills for the day, I got pills for the night
But none of these prescriptions seem to take away the fright

I got pills to forget me and pills to blur the view
But none of these doses ever let me forget you

I got the devil on my left with death flanking on my back
And none of these remedies ever give me what I lack

Diaphanous

Maybe my heart is a diaphanous veil
And love is translucent but now growing stale
Maybe his kiss is the all holy grail
But if I am seen it is too hard to tell

Maybe I’ll always crumble and fail
Maybe I’ll always be hung by his nail
Maybe the truth is just written in braille
Or maybe I died and so living in hell

Swallow

Why did you go?
Where did you lead us?
There are armies bleeding tears which swell and swallow whole moons
Why did you take the light with you to leave us here to croon?
My hope floats on fear all afternoon
Sometimes the darkness is blinding
And always there reminding
It got you too soon
Reason only comes in brigades of sorrow
Where doubt peeks its head at tomorrow
But cowers behind the window
Why did you fall after the show?
Now all the angels trow
There are chains on the month of May
The Earth pulling the days
Our eyes are pulk
You lost your way
All the days are heavy
Like heaven falling on its knee
That’s where we plea
Please don’t you leave!
Where are the steps to find you?
Our godfather of grunge
Our black sun
There is little truth in flame
Are drugs to blame?
You were the sun to somebody, everybody
Every day
We will remember your name
I am the same
Living decay
Now where will the summer lead
Where will the sun fade

Corridors

What are dreams but avenues of despair
Dark corridors where he’ll gladly meet you there
But me no he doesn’t care
He won’t meet me anywhere

What are his lies but sugar for my screams
A place where nothing dreams
Where fears are window screens
And cries his favorite things

What are words but bullets for his gun
A web where lies are spun
A hole where I am none –
And he broke my heart just for fun

Tides & Gravity (Two for Tuesday)

I’ve been around the world
18 hour flights or more
I’ve lived inside of war
I’ve even been the whore

I’ve been a carnivore
Feasting on metaphor
With an oath I swore
And one I won’t ignore

Lost on shore
With knees on floor
I’m at his door
A beggar poor

Knocking evermore
Without valour
Not like before
Heartache at core

Meltdowns in four
With more in store
For you to abhor
All for what I adore

© Delia Ross. 2020

You break me. Only to put me back together and then break me again. And then together. Like the tide pulling. Every wave shaping me. Over and under, your tug and pull. I can’t escape your gravity. Tidal locked. Sometimes your waves are gentle and other times your undertow holds me down. Like the gravity of my mistakes. And your punishments are a tsunami. Drowning and then washed safely ashore. I ache for you in places I didn’t know existed.

When you return
So too the tide
And the color in my eye
When you are by

The way I churn
When you are near
The stars appear
My life’s not drear

Each wave a yearn
An endless shore
Where I want more
You the seashore

I want to earn
Your every surge
You give me urge
The deepest merge

© Delia Ross. 2020

My god when you rise, rise you do. The way you swell, swallow me.

Cold Winds + Mortars

After midnight poetry. Stuff in my head.

Block the cold winds blowing from the north
Frozen in time mistakes keep you from moving forth
Like the heavy winds from the north
You stop and weap
Holding down a crumbling fort
Eight days a week
You carry regret like a torch
Reminder: time is short

After midnight poetry. Stuff in my head.

Open quarters
Small circles
Blown mortars
Follow orders
Closed borders
Such horror

All blurs
No cures
Blood pours
More tours
Four doors
His wars

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*

Round and Wound

The emptiness settles over me like fog rolling over hills and mountain tops
And space, there’s not enough to keep him from my thoughts
He’s got the world in his hands while my soul it sits and rots
Round and wound he tunes us up like we are clocks
And reason not as simple as connecting dots
So doubt fills my head now thick as clots

Mandatory Social Distancing

Hi my loves. My introvertness has met maximum overload and I feel I am about to go cause some trouble in town. Maybe a toilet paper riot is what I need after all? This social distancing is starting to do my head in. How are you holding up? Tells me!!

MANDATORY SOCIAL DISTANCING. UGGGGG OVER IT! 2 AM BOREDOMS
I mean, it’s a good idea if you don’t want to catch the Corona
I iz boreddddddd (2 AM insomniac who sleeps in her eye makeup and wakes up looking like a $2 whore)
Make it stops
If you’re going crazzzzy out of your mind during this mandatory social distancing, just remember, it’s a normal response.

I LOVE YOU!

Toxification

His love is suffocating
Like radiation decaying
He blasts it over me
It’s uncomforting

His love is like an ocean drying
But he’s not my reason for crying
He’s not even the mountain I’m climbing
Or ever wind for wings flying

His love is like a toxic spill
Leaking down a hill
Heading for the kill
A place I’d never heal

© Delia Ross. 2020

Ahem, y’all ever have someone you don’t know, just randomly claim they love you? There’s a guy I never had one conversation with message me to tell me he was completely in love with me. In hindsight, I wonder if I’m reaping what I sow. Does the guy I claim I’m in love with think of me the way I think of this guy? I hope not. Him and I, at least had some conversations together, I always enjoyed his spoken word and he even did some spoken word for me once so I know what he looks like. I know why I love him. I know why he makes my blood boil and my heart beat. I know why my soul is connected to his like a tether. I know why he makes me completely black with jealousy. I know why I long for him and cry for him. I know. But this other guy who loves me, I don’t know at all. Anything. Maybe I do. Read the poem.

I iz confused. Goddess of Confusion.

Prices

I give a little still they need a lot
I swing for gold but miss my shot
I pull the thread, they tie the knot
I turn around then lose my spot

I bust through fears like it’s a door
I’m exposing things I haven’t before
I’ve been wandering for ages lost on his shore
And I’m terrified our country is headed for war

Many are choices yet few we can choose
And I wonder just really who could fit these shoes
And I gave him my word and he gave me the blues
And I gave him my heart now there’s nothing to lose

Been stumbling around and lost in a maze
And I’m choking on fumes that came from his blaze
Yet no matter how he hurts me the love always stays
Maybe I’m just broken and desperate for his praise

I hear so much chatter but there’s nothing people say
Yet ask them where they’re going they’ll get back another day
And I really give my all, that’s just the price we pay
It’s like we’re skipping first base and heading straight for the freeway!!

Sometimes I think a bridge is there for me to jump
And an ocean is a gully where all my hope has sunk
Sometimes I’m wise and knowing and other times I’m drunk
But mostly these days I rarely give a fuck

Patience is a virtue and some don’t know the drill
If silence is really golden, I am searching still
He is just a sleeping lion ready for the kill
And she is just a tool to help him seal the deal

Slaves

Slaves to the 1 percent
Chained by the narcissists
One foot forward ’til the other quits
Mind says no but the heart persists

Damnation at the edge of both wrists
You think it is love but you never have kissed
He binds you so tight with the lies that he twists
You cannot stop now no matter the risk

The devil’s tongue is hard to resist
His hold on you tighter than both fists
No matter your move he’s ahead of the lists
As inch by inch you cease to exist

Carry You

I posted a song uncut and unfiltered on Tuners Radio, despite my crippling stage fright. I’ve never even been able to do open mic night or karaoke. I’d love your feedback though. Go easy on me. 😇

P.S. my muse Alex Ebert not only gave it like but added it to one of his playlist on Tuners Radio (he’s literally won Oscars for his music but that’s not why I love him)!! 😍

Lyrics:

It was something that they put you through
It makes no sense at all
If you will let me carry you
I promise not to fall

I can take care of you
But only if you want
I’m strong enough to carry you
Though sometimes I may crawl

Hang on, hang on, hang on
ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhh

Skin

These sharks go into frenzy
With my patience running thin
Predators come to surface
From places made of sin

These waters are infested
And there’s more that’s creeping in
These lessons make me nervous
I have a right to shed my skin

I wish I could express my sexuality how I wanted, without the flood of sexual harassment that swarms in.

I wish I could dress how I wanted, without the flood of sexual harassment that comes in.

I wish I could go to the beach or the club, without the fear of being raped or having unwanted hands grab my body.

I wish I could dress sexy and go out and not be catcalled.

I wish dudes wouldn’t send me a play-by-play of how they’re masturbating.

I wish dudes wouldn’t ask me for nudes.

I wish I could express my sexuality without being reduced to simply a sex object.

Eh, but I guess I “asked for it”…

Tension

Out there on the horizon
A glimpse of redemption
While crawling over ice thinning
And tethers strained from the tension
As the distance slowly lengthens
Where the darkness comes to listen
Reflections rarely glisten
Just a sight of mostly deception
And fragile connections
No regrets for him I’m guessing
And I failed another lesson
Thinking love was a blessing
Not another interception
Not a secret obsession
Gifting only depression
His attention another direction
I get no affection
Not even a chance for selection
Just a ghost in another dimension
And my hate for him I’ll mention
Over and over in confession
With or without aggression
I’m at peace in this session
Writing bygones and rejection
What again was the question?
If shame were a crime, you reached perfection
Now go focus on another erection
And you better get tested for infection
Because you’ll stick it wherever there is exception
How much pussy is in your collection?
Disgusting vile worthless tool with zero potential

Seeds of Descent

Love is a lost art
Still I built a special ark
Made from words within my heart
To help you through your dark

(Does it mean anything?)

Sailing through crosses and curses
Sending prayers of ‘is it worth it’
Lingering in places God deserted
Standing stagnant near roads diverted

(Your words sting, they numb my wing)

Leaving hints and traces of echoes
Chained to someone I can’t let go
Drowning in cycles of these lows
Agony abundant where love grows

(I am sinking)

Vampire Viking Fourplay

Satin today
Tomorrow blade
A mask won’t hide his thoughts away
Closed doors to me are an archway
His absence is saying come my way

His distance is sky for my parachute
His bitterness to me is the sweetest fruit
I’ll put it on my tongue and savor his juice
His walls to me are just another route

Dirt was made for digging tunnels
Demons fall bored so may cause troubles
His desert to me is an open jungle
His masks to me are just more popped bubbles

Stuck with me on planet Earth
The deeper you burrow, I value your worth
The more you plummet, I feel your girth
The more you love, the more I curse

A sign to me is a doorway, a fence was made to be jumped

Underworld

Hurt him
Hurt him to save him
Push him from hope
Let him learn to swim

Hurt him
Hurt him to save him
Give him some rope
Let him learn to trim

Hurt him
Hurt him to save him
Kick him down the slope
Maybe then he can feel

Hurt her
Hurt her to save her
Show her under your mask
The end at last

Inspired by heartache and a line from a favorite film, Moulin Rouge: hurt him to save him

Peaches and Cream

I am all the sweetness of a berry but I show him the sour of a peach
It seems my bitter tongue keeps him at a distance I can’t reach

If I could just learn a language that he and everyone speaks
If he could see through the lows where I have amazing peaks

I wish I could talk to him with my body
I could show him I know joy and naughty
I could kiss his lips and not feel a zombie
I could smile for him and not be so rowdy

There are so many things that I want to say
But my anxiety always gets in the way
And maybe if I had just one night
He could teach me so I could get it right

Writing this made me remember the nicknames my bestfriend (who died by suicide at age 13) and I had for each other, CREAMPUFF & JUICYFRUIT 😍 and we would say to each other, “you are my honeybun and I want to lick all of the cream off of you”. 😊 I LOVE THIS MEMORY. I was her “creampuff” *giggles* I am still sweet like that in the real world, away from a screen. Shy and nerdy but also a sexual beast. I keep showing the beast. But honestly, I can’t help it, it’s like my hormones are 13 againMen go through their sexual prime early in life but women later… Like me, now. Send chocolates.

I wanna come, so then I go
You say go fast, so I go slow
You say goodbye, I’m at hello
I drop a bomb, for afterglow

I sleep outside my own prison gate
I build a wall to suffocate
And any trespasser I will violate
Just come near me and you will ache

I am good but I am bad
I am happy but I am sad
I am boring but I am rad
I think I died in Baghdad

I am the pleasure but he is the pain
No matter the blood, I need him the same
I laid down my gun and this isn’t a game
You have the key to open my chain

He is the stable, I am a wild horse
Maybe it is hate, I don’t know the force
And if he loves me, it is only in fourths
I have looked for love but I can’t find the source

I always gots rosey cheeks and freckles (Alabama, circa 2015)
Missouri (AKA MISERY) Circa 2007ish
Iraq circa 2003
Tennessee barely sixteen
Florida circa 2016ish
Tennessee age 18 with my 9 month old baby that I breastfed a solid year (my hair is nearly that long again *squee* but this is my natural color, brunette with hazel eyes)
(Self, age 18, kiddo 9 months)
A hippy goth in docs, nothing much has changed 🙂 (age 18)
The 90s, the best and worst decade of my life
I iz evolving (Florida, my birthday 2019)

Cobwebs

He spins a web of confusion
He spews we are living in delusion
That won’t stop him from carrying on
His mask cannot hide his beacon

And without reason, I follow the action
I was taught love is twice bitten
Well, maybe his web leads to Eden
It matters not how many webs are spun

I crawl over fragmented dreams and broken bones
It makes me ponder how many hearts he owns
Are they easy to collect like clones
Does he cherish the ones dethroned from their thrones

The stickier the web, the heavier the bloodstones
The harder the heart, the more sinful the wrongs
The farther we part, the heavier the moans
The more you punish, the darker the zones

For the most part, I put all my darkness into my poetry, or my art, I wouldn’t actually bite his head off in real life… the follow unfollow routine might be annoying but seriously there are worse crimes. And I’m trying to refrain from allowing others to trigger me. I have written him so much beautiful rhyme, it would be a shame to focus on the few falls between. xxoo

A Visit From Lu Part 4

I don’t know how but it slipped my mind
And the devil’s first trick was well designed
I guess purgatory belongs to mankind
A week now has passed that I cannot rewind

He checked his watch, it must be a quarter past 3
And it’s been 2 days now he hasn’t heard from me
And for a change he turned on that dusty TV
In hopes to scramble thoughts he had been thinking

And somewhere in that tube the news was all the same
There’s chaos in the streets and the devil is to blame
There’s violence in the feed and no one feels ashamed
Repentance is for souls the devil can’t reclaim

The scientists claim that it is global warming
The bible warned God brought down the flooding
Revelations hint of a second coming
The devil bets the world thinks God is bluffing

He takes a shot of whiskey while changing the channel
The voices mumble ‘there’s nothing we can’t handle’
And now the weather is showing that flights are cancelled
But none of these things can take his mind off his angel

He checks again his computer and phone
He’s tried a hundred times her location is unknown
And he feels the worry sink into his bone
Her last message sent said she wasn’t alone

To be continued!?!

Oh my goodness, if you are an atheist, I am in no way trying to convert you and if you are religious this is in no way factual, it’s just fantasy. And if I can get to where I’m going with it, it’s an end of the world love story with themes of angels and devils and humans and whatever other stuffs I dream up. So far there’s at least four characters in the story, if you were to count technology as an entity (the tv voices, clocks/time, etc) and there’s a particular mood and tone and flow I am trying to keep throughout, not to mention I’m attempting this in poetry format, with some 24 lines each chapter/part (6/4). PHEW, IT’S TUFFS. (And I see people get likes on post that say nothing at all but skip giving me any praise for attempting something meaningful). We all run the same halls in hell. Whatev. If you like cool, if you don’t oh well. I still put up effort all the same. 👍✌

*It’s really scary me sharing this stuff, anything I do, I feel raw and exposed and inadequate as is, there’s always that fear of failure, that it isn’t good enough*

The Day I End

There she is, it is death on the horizon
And follow my sorrows she will
Until the day I end

There it goes, all the light from the Sun
I was looking for love where none of it was real
I was looking for hope in any direction I could ascend

There it flows, my hope is on the run
And bring with it a fear that covers with chill
While the devil whispers softly “suicide is your friend”

A Visit From Lu Part 3

Lu entered my door bringing despair
He had it gift wrapped for extra flair
He covered it in agony to make it look rare
He had a look of concern but I know he didn’t care

So there we were both grinning –
Like in a game of chess but the devil’s always winning
The only hand I play is a joker never sinning
The only life I live is the one I’m never living

As Lu drew nearer he sat upon my table
Like an uninvited guest who should leave but isn’t able
And I am starting to feel very unstable
But my doubt only makes Lu more grateful (and we sat there through April)

Now the window shows that it is winter
And the fear is growing in my center
And all this doubt makes my tongue bitter
The devil got under me without lifting a finger

It’s like if I move a piece I’ll open Pandora’s box
And you know the devil can crawl just watch how he talks
And you know the devil can dance just watch how he walks
And you know the devil is purgatory just watch all the clocks

I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t
Whatever move, Lu will condone
He is a step ahead, anytime I’m wrong
How do you knock a devil off of a throne

Oh my goodness, 3 was a challenge! Notice how the devil seems to be moving his way throughout my house/life in this series? The underlining theme in chapter 3 is depression (purgatory). As well as, how we need to be careful about the choices we make in life. I didn’t set out for it to be this way, it’s just how the story developed. I hope you likey (the 5th stanza is my favorite)! 😊

Webs

He takes my mistakes and spins it like thread; And out from the web the finest dread

He takes my regret and puts it in the fire; And out of the pit come my worst desire

He takes my shame and puts it on his feet; And next thing you know he’s down the street

He takes my love and puts it on his mantle; Then he swears protection on his broken angel

Percentages

Atone? She scoffed, her wings curled in and the tips had frost

And then from the distance and frigid past, a noise of an entry, he returned at last

And the shockwaves and ripples, commenced, standing on emptiness

She sighed, “what did you forget”?

“…that I’m in, one hundred percent”, he replied

I don’t really know what to call this thing but it was just something I was feeling cuz feelings happen in the now…
