(sry power went out and spring break but I'm back now)

If I showed you my scars
would you call me a freak
and say that I'm selfish and weak

Or would silently back away
not really understanding or knowing what to say

Or would be the one
the one to actually stay
and sit with me until everything felt okay
((kinda short my apologizes

This right here really got me in my feelings 😭

@ember-chan-will-never-forget-you

I lay on the floor
Feeling tears slide down my cheek and
Plink
On the carpet
I sit up and I pull my knees to my chest
Feeling the tears soak into my jeans
I cry because I win
The monsters in my mind are over
They are twisted into beautiful sculptures
Disgused as perfection
Never again
I claw my way out of my head
My head
My head
My head that swirls with the dragons
And the demons
I float through the air
Free
I AM FREE
The magnetic pull
It drags me back
I rake my hands through the air
Trying to stay
This blissful dream
The monsters take my arm and yank
Me back into the torture of my mind.

@hollow-boned

here's another one

"Poison Tongues"

People look so lovely with

Eyes closed -

So serene with

Heads leaned back,

Lips offered parted and glistening,

Teeth partly offered,

Glimpsed jewelry in the mouth;

Timeless, ageless, magicians that be with friends and lovers and strangers alike,

Holy in their unintended purity, so that watching them so vulnerable may be a sin,

We feel.

Yet how is it

That when their eyes open and ribcages are stretched

They bring insincere laughter,

Condescension and prejudice

Spewing forth from poison, glistening tongues?

@Bandito

Bricks
Why is it so bad to be one?
Bricks are strong
Bricks are tough
If you try to hurt a brick, you'll just hurt yourself
But everyone says it's bad to be a brick
Songs
TV shows
Books
Maybe they don't explicitly say it, but it's there
It's on the screen and in the air
In ads for clothes and neon hair
Stand out!
Be one of a kind!
No one will like you if you're one of us!
Only special people make money and get famous and star in interviews
But at the same time
They'll spit on you, plug their children's ears, avoid you like a disease
Call you a freak, put duct tape over your mouth, take pictures with their phones
It's a fine line between being different and being different

@ember-chan-will-never-forget-you

I am a vampire
I drink the blood of the
Perfect ones
The unblemished
Carefully dolled-up
Popular girls
Who twist their perfect lips
Into a perfect smirk
Disregarding my imperfectness
That’s okay
It’s not the Barbie dolls who rebel
It’s the vampires
And the werewolves
And the elves
They are dangerous
They are killers
They are terrifying
To the perfect society
Who runs away in perfect synchronization
To a perfect haven
We will rule over
This pockmarked earth
The ruined and the scarred
Because they will
ALWAYS ALWAYS

win

Insanity

A man once said,
“Insanity is doing
The same thing
Over and over
And expecting
A different outcome.”
If that’s so
Then we’re all crazy
Doing the same thing
Day after day
Saying things will get better.
Ain’t we all insane?
Day by day,
The same routine.
Growing weary of this world.
Saying things will change,
But how can they change
When we don’t change first?
Don’t wanna to be insane.
Don’t wanna go through
The same routine.
Expecting things to change
If we don’t make it change.
So we gotta change
To make a change.

@belle-elaine

Do you remember
all the nights we spent
together

All the days we
waisted away
hoping they would never end

Tell me your secrets
and I'll tell you mine
nothing would come in between us
not even time

pretty promises we made
but I should've known their
would come a day

when we would
say each others names
as though they were a strangers

but it's ok my darling
please don't regret
that we grew up and out of touch
that's just the way our story went

so I'll remember you fondly
don't you worry
everything's ok
ok

Wrote this for school and it sucks, but take it.

The roar of the waves fills my ears, and strangely dominates the howl of the wind.
It smashes against the rocks of the jetty and dissipates with a faint "sssss".
Moisture caresses my cheeks and smooths my hair with it's gentle hand.
My head tilts back for my silent screams to reach the stars.
