A Dandelions Story

Skye Wander

1 min read

Wherever there is light the flowers will find it. Of all the species to survive, Connie never would’ve guessed dandelions. Somehow they were immune to the poison. Connie doesn’t know how or why. Her parents didn’t know when they were alive, even M3, a robot, can’t figure it out.

The clouded sky and thick air suffocated trees, grass, and shrubs (if the toxins didn’t get to them first.) However, ...

Beaches Without Water

When the ocean dried up we didnt cry

For our tears would never fill

The dry abyss that stretched ahead

Our boat would never float again

Puddles may pile

One on top of another on top of another

However the old wooden beast

Was gone for good

Red and yellow striped socks are soggy

Our crew is scrutinized by the sky

A flashlight cuts through a foggy haze

Yet not quite sharp enough to see an edge

Is...

Tears

Tears burn my skin

And desecrate the bones

Once one falls

I can’t take it back

One drops to the ground

Changing the layout of the room

And suddenly it’s shrinking

Furniture falls to the ground

Poster colors are much too bright

Tapestries wave like flags

My sight melts as I stare at them

So I don’t have to meet her eyes....

Bad Habits

Skye Wander

1 min read

I thought you made me

Better, at first

But now I crave the breaking

Of people who hurt

I willingly give a piece of my soul

To everybody I meet

Then write about how it’s too much

Bad ideas become habits

Habits become obsessions

If someone is not in pain

I suddenly have the space to hurt

But what if someone like me

Has been waiting for this chance?

I don’t like to confront my problems

I try and ...

Apoapsis

Nothing makes sense anymore

Nothing feels real anymore

Drifting

D r i f t i n g

Between tiny dots of light.

When I was younger

I wanted to kill myself

Because I was in so much pain

Right now

I would kill myself

Because I just want things to feel real

I don’t even feel pain right now

Just cold

Hard

I n d i f f e r e n c e.

Even to my own best friend

Not Again, Not Today

Skye Wander

1 min read

(TW: mentions of self harm. Wrote this one a long time ago.)

Don’t do it

Not again

Not today

It’s barely healed

You can’t let them know

If they know then

You’ll be gone

There will be nothing left of you

They’ll take you to a doctor to “fix” you

But they can’t erase the memories

Maybe they’ll give you pills to “help” you

But they can’t create joy

Only suspend it in midair

Just out of reach

And wh...

For so long

I’ve been waiting

Hoping

Wishing

Praying

For you to come back.

But for so many weeks

Commenting

Looking

Doubting

Weeks ago

And for so long

I’ve been looking

Reading

Writing

Crying

Because I’m pretty sure we were friends.

Ish.

That post,

52 weeks ago.

It’s officially been a year

And for the first time it’s clear

Maybe

She’s not gonna come back....

School Dances

So sick to my stomach

I can’t even eat

That greasy pizza

But then I catch a

G l a n c e

From her

She smiles

My heartbeat slows

Until she keeps dancing

Swinging her hips

Twirling

Grabbing

Other people’s

H a n d s

Working up the courage

Saying

You’re dancing with me now

The moment

A Chappell roan song plays

Smiling and laughing to pink pony club

But you pull away soon after

And dance with someon...

Lonely Cities

Stars

Shining

Above us

Together we’re

Alone at the edge

Bright cities we don’t know

And a life we don’t quite want

Somehow we decided to stay

Blurry traffic lights reflect my soul

I wouldn’t have it any other way...
