Messy / Happy

TW: mention of smut and romantic tropes, profanity.


Everyone likes a first person novel. So here I am, thinking, exposing. Musing at who I am, when no one thinks I am. Bathroom stalls will bend to my will, if I ask them—politely. That’s when thinking happens. Creeping up like the dust on my ceiling fan. I’ll listen to the broken AC as my mind debates which embarrassing moments in the day take...

TW: my problems


Needs unmet

All for regret

I’m on the fence

Invisible to you

I wish I was prevalent

In your life,

That you disguise

Lie,

Kiss me, to make me cry

Listen to your family,

Preach their truth,

Deny me, Sue

Oh, I hate you

How you whisper the color blue.


Ever hunger?

Kick your legs and wonder?

If we were something?

If I knew we weren’t nothing?

Because

A scrappy draft about trying for someone and covering yourself.


I watch the ink from my pen

I love it

How it covers the mistakes

With short, little blotches

Words disappear

Like they weren’t ever there

They’re not here


I enjoy masking my mistakes

Like how I pretend to know enjoyment

Like the mask never breaks

While this soul of mine aches

And feels self inflicted torment.


Can we stop making mi...

TW: suicide, profanity.


A statement on death and identity.


To Kill A Moth (Don’t)


Verse 1


There are advantages to being a moth opposed to a butterfly.

Moths are quieter, less prone to the spotlight.

They live in the night,

Tucking themselves in, and saying “sleep tight”

Tight like a shirt,

One that will squeeze.

One that everyone sees.


Verse 2


So why do moths look for light?

Maybe because i...
