Relax

Athena

1 min read

I wonder what it feels like to relax

I wonder what it feels like to be content

I wonder how life could be

Without the constant worry

The constant overthinking

The unnecessary stress I bring upon myself

My mind is always active

Actively worrying

My body is tense

Tensely apprehensive

I worry until I make myself sick

I worry until I make everyone around me sick

But for just one day

Even fo...

She doesn’t look like me. She doesn’t sound like me. Why is she touching him? Why is she kissing him? Why is he kissing her? Oh my god. I know who it is, it’s her, it can’t be, please god no don’t let it be. She’s telling him she’s always loved him, he tells her the same. They embrace, they reminisce, they look deeply at each other…


I feel like I’ve woken up from an electric shock. My heart is p...

I am on the floor. No, literally on the floor. I can’t breathe and I’m clutching onto my stomach. My stomach feels like I’ve done a million crunches all at once and my stomach muscles are starting to spasm. But I can’t stop smiling, my cheeks are hurting, I haven’t done this in a while. The strangest noises are escaping my mouth, is something wrong with me? It feels abnormal but I don’t care, i’m ...

How often are we simply at one with nature?

How often do we allow nature to be at one with us?

As I breathe in natures wild air

As the breeze trickles alongside me

As I hear the bird song in the tree above me echo all around me

My eyes grow my heavy

So does my body

My fingers trace along the luscious grass beneath me

I took a moment

And so should you

I look after nature

And I know natur...

Games Are Fun

Athena

1 min read

Let’s play a game shall we?

Games are fun right?

Let’s start by counting down from three

One…

Is there something wrong?

You look scared?

We are just playing a game?

Games are fun…right?

Two…

I know it’s just us two in this room

This game only requires two players

Games are fun…right?

Oh dear, what happened to the lights?

There is no need to be scared

What’s so scary about darkness?

Not...

The Cheater

Athena

He sighed

He lied

He let our worlds collide

He tried to hide

He could never abide

He dragged me in like a riptide

He sighed

He lied

He did what only he could do to survive...

Never Again

Athena

1 min read

Never again do I allow my body to shut down

Never again do I allow pain to swallow my body whole

Never again do I stoop so low

Never again do I reach for the easiest way out

Never again do I allow myself to imprison my mind

Never again do I press that potentially fatal bottle to my lips…

Never. Again....

Talking With The Devil

Athena

1 min read

I have a devil on one shoulder

An angel on the other

I am so indecisive

Who will save me?

Fire or ice?

Who will talk sense into me?

The angel or the devil?

I am not evil

Yet I am not an angel

I find myself in a difficult situation

One which I have to protect and defend myself

How can I do that by being kind?

How will I ever be heard?

But yet how can I ever expect to get far when I am ...

Sometimes the only way to really forget everything is to go to sleep.

Even though it’s only for a few hours, I disconnect, I unplug myself from reality, from everyone and everything. I feel like a dark, heavy cloud is raining over me and only me. The rain droplets scald my skin and it soaks every bone in my body.

My body feels limp and numb, lifeless. Everything is too much effort. Breathing, b...
