The ABCs Of Peak Life Meltdown

Tangerine!

1 min read

Ate a candle because it looked like cheesecake.

Bought a llama online during a blackout.

Cried when it arrived because I named him “Gary” before knowing his vibe.

Didn’t vibe. Gary’s judging me. Constantly.

Emailed the moon asking for a refund on 2025.

Forgot I don’t own a blender. Tried using a shoe.

Got smoothies and emotional damage.

Hugged a cactus. On purpose. Needed the attention.

Ice cream ...

The ABCs Of Even More Total Life Chaos

Tangerine!

1 min read

-since my previous post “the ABCs of total life chaos” got so much attention, here is my second take on the prompt!-

Attempted to fix the sink with bubble gum and blind optimism.

Broke the entire plumbing system and possibly a law.

Considered just living in a pool float forever.

Decided to Google “how to fake your own disappearance.”

Emailed my boss a resignation letter made entirely of emojis.

F...

Untouched

A child runs through the tall grass,

arms out like wings,

chasing nothing,

but sure it matters.

The sky is bigger for them.

The clouds have names we’ve forgotten.

Every stone is treasure.

Every puddle, an ocean waiting to be claimed.

They laugh before they understand why.

They trust without reason.

They fall and cry,

then run again—

not bitter, not afraid.

The world hasn’t taught them doubt.

Still Here

Tangerine!

We didn’t know it was the best day.

We just laughed until our cheeks hurt

and the sun leaned a little closer,

like it wanted to listen.

Shoes were off,

music was loud,

nothing made sense,

and it didn’t have to.

We danced on cracked pavement,

hands in the air,

hearts too full for words.

Someone spilled juice on the speaker.

It sparked once—

we screamed, then laughed harder.

The photos we took w...

They Opened It Anyway

Tangerine!

1 min read

They laughed too loud in the dark,

trying to sound braver than they were.

The woods didn’t laugh back.

A door waited where no door should be—

standing upright in the clearing,

not connected to anything,

not rotting, not new.

Just there.

They said don’t touch it.

They touched it.

Of course.

The handle was warm.

Not from the sun.

From something else.

When it opened,

the air shifted—

not wind,

bu...

Becoming

Tangerine!

I used to speak in echoes,

repeating what the world wanted to hear.

Every smile rehearsed,

every nod calculated.

But lately,

my laugh comes too early,

too loud—

and I let it.

The lines around my eyes

are real this time.

No performance.

No shield.

Someone called my name,

and I turned without flinching.

I didn’t brace.

I didn’t shrink.

The mask is slipping.

Not from fear.

Not from failure.

But ...

Curtain Call

Tangerine!

1 min read

They pull the strings again.

I smile because the lights are watching.

My hands remember the steps

even when my mind wants to flee.

The makeup hides the bruises,

not from fists—

from the weight of pretending.

Every laugh from the crowd

is a chain.

They clap too loud.

Too long.

They love the show,

but they never ask if I chose the stage.

My throat is raw.

Not from singing,

but from swallowing the...

Duality

Comes to life in you

Petty, catty, and cunning

Yet soft and kind and the outside

It’s a show

A mask you put on

To make people like you

That’s all you care about.

Being liked.

Why?

So that you’ll find acceptance?

Why are you so insecure

That you belittle others?

Me?

I’ve seen you do it to other friends as well

Why?

Why do you make me feel bad

About what I have?

What I don’t have?

Santa’s Lonely

_Jingle bells…_

_Just come out to play_

_Santa’s lonely _

_Beef baloney_

_Put the axe away_

_AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!_

Shuddering, the boy hides behind the outdated leather recliner.

“Come on out noooowwwww” a gruff voice threatens.

From under the chair, the boy sees two black buckled boots stomping right by him.

“Come out come out wherever you are” the voice says in a sing-song tone.

Dependence

Tangerine!

1 min read

As I looked into your eyes

I saw my future go up in flames

I knew

I could never be without

You

So I will bend,

Flex,

Turn my life

Upside down

Just so that I can

Be with

You

People tell me

To be

Self dependent

But

How can I

I only feel myself with

You

My friends

Tell me

That I’m too clingy

To get a life of my own

But the truth is

I don’t want a life of my own

Without

You

Any dream...
