You still ghost ship
Through
My Subconscious.

I've been waiting
For you
To drop anchor.

Duality

Someone once told me if she thought she was a bad person. Without thinking, I told her, “I think you’re great.” Though I meant it at the time, sometimes I wish I could go back in time and tell her that I don’t believe that people are as simple as just “good” or “evil”. Life is dynamic and so too are the people who make up those experiences. To give someone a fixed label would be to dismiss the circumstances and the personal history that led to their actions. I believe anyone is capable of anything given the right circumstances. So no, I don’t believe you’re a shitty person, but I bel

Tell me you see me

Tell me you see me... Not the boy smiling in the reflection of your eyes, the green pool which he had so readily dived into. No, not that pathetic imitation of joyful emotion but rather the authentic personification of sorrow lying at that boy's feet. Can't you see me? I imagine I must be there though within the pool of your eyes I can only find that deceiving mask of an individual, without depth without feeling without strife without emotion aside from that disgusting imitation of joy. Come you must see! I am here! Not the boy you see standing but instead the boy holding the floor for it it offers me the comfort of closeness, the boy s

A Letter For A Deceased Mother

Dear Mother, A glance at my calendar, much to my distress, right now these feelings, I must confess. It's Mother's Day once again and my heart is filled with sorrow, that may never mend. I'm trying to make it through today without tears this year, just like all the rest of the years. I sit here to dwell and morn with what once was had, has now been forever torn. This day never ceases to remind me how I'm without and fills me with an overflowing doubt. Makes me regret how little the days with you were spent and I ponder where all those precious memories could have went. If only I knew back then what I know now and my life, the knowledge,

Family Tree

If we're tied together by blood then I'm anemic Coughing up the words I swallowed for years like I'm bulimic The bird still bears the stumps where you severed off its wings I bet you'd chop down a tree just to count all its rings If you keep breaking branches you don't think belong There will be nothing left for you to cling on Have fun falling to your death

epitaph

the girl i did not run over looks at me with eyes that say that i am part of the problem, when i could have been her solution, looks at me like she’s blaming me for swerving away, like she’s measured every one of her steps from her door to the curb, and i am the one thing she failed to account for. i almost double back to try and tell her all the same things that i have been told but i do not. her feet are too heavy, by now. her stomach too hollow. she does not need more empty words to swallow, she does not need stop signs or yield signs or ‘for the love of god think of everyone you are leaving behind’ signs. i do no

Heliophilia 2: Secrets Revealed -- Part 1

“…and when I came back, I had these,” finished Twilight Sparkle with a flourish of her wings, the Princess extending her purple pinions for her two guests to see. “I couldn’t believe it at first, but after Princess Celestia showed up and pretty much told me that I wasn’t dreaming it finally sank in: I had become an alicorn, and was now a Princess of Equestria.” The alicorn smiled in a way that was simultaneously sheepish and proud, as if she loved telling the story but still felt a little embarrassed about how self-serving it sounded. “And that’s that – the whole s

It is okay to be getting your hair trimmed for the first time in eighteen months. It is fine to let yourself inflate a sad story and then another, like pink gum bubbles In the direction of anyone who will listen. You can now chew over the last year and a half of your life from a distance, when you’re at the hairdressers, after she notices the short patches by your sideburns with an inquisitive look. You can hold back the tears with relative ease, as if telling of someone else’s illness, rolling the grief around in your mouth like a gobstopper whist her acrylic nails gently graze the backs of your ears. You can use an entire palm

Our generation

cigarette smoke and alcohol the fumes embedding in the wall cocaine lines in bathroom stalls: our generation, we have it all misguided teens, with dying dreams (poured down the drain by languid veins) the clinking of glasses and racing hearts, we cannot stop what we did start it's all an escape- a sick paradox: we're running from ourselves.

Once within the barriers of Boreas, the temperature ware warm enough to permit the merchant to leave the carriages. Tania opened the door, first blinded by the strong reflection of the ice, a marvellous landscape appeared before her eyes. Between the mountain was this huge city, the protective shield was actually all made in ice; like sculpted by the snowflake and frost with subtil patterns. The floor, plants, decorations, even benches and lights were made of ice. The houses themselves were made of white stones, like those castles from the old Human legends Isabelle often told Tania. When she took her first step on the frozen ground, Tania s
