Screw You

Ilsa Winter

I thought I had it all

Thought all was mine and the tears were gone

But the truth was a tall wall

And reality was a ocean of despair

With love and dreams gone down the infinite nightmare

But I saw the sun and looked in the mirror and said “screw you”

And the sky had never looked so blue...

The One Fate Called

💐💝Gifti💝💐

I’ll answer to the call

Even if the world has to fall

I may not be strong

But fate can’t be wrong

This pull I feel can’t be shown

And it defies what I’ve known

I cant be the one they call a hero

All I am is a Piro

Fate must rely on me

Fate won’t ever set me free

I have to decide even if it’s hard

Even if the world ends up charred

This pull I feel, I can’t contain

This pull it must be arcane

I’v...

When Collecting Angel Feathers

the gutter-mind

Chapter 168

it’s as if there is a colony of mold

on the roof of a septic plant

flowing first through some awful funk

down into the gutter of rot

oozing then, thick like a horrible gel

steaming as it falls from the downspout

in clumps of festering forms

splatting into the mind of humanity

we clap our hands and wait for the next batch...

A Polluted Heart

Elliott Greco

1 min read

When we first got together

I thought our hearts would be pure

I was lying for sure

Because our love changed like the weather

When you were complimenting other boys

I thought it was nothing to worry about

But when I started hearing sweet shouts

I knew I was gonna become one of her toys

When she refused to talk to me

Whilst we were at a family meal

I thought it was just a silent nervo...

Pain is walking away from your partner who

You still love.

Because, love alone doesn’t hold it together.

realistically, you might still love them deeply .The truth is, your partner has done something,for you to lose trust. But,You chose to stay anyway! Why? Maybe,because you have been together soo long.Like a pair of old slippers. You hate to part with them.They are soo comfortable. Unfortunately...

Heart Break

Emily RB

If your hand could reach inside my heart, what would you do with it?

would you be gentle? Cup it carefully and tender hands and place it next to yours so that your heartbeat always steadies it.

Would you be violent? Rip out the tendons. tear out the arteries. leave it open. leave it bleeding.

Would you ignore it? Walk away. Leave me broken but whole. Alone.

If your hand could reach inside my...

Love is a trademark

love you like the moon loves the stars

or at least i guess i do

the way your hair curls at the edges

its kind of pretty, i suppose

i like your laugh

at least how i feel when its from my words

i like your style

at least the expensive status it carries

i like your smile

it looks really good in my pics

i love your body

its divine

at least in the way i can use it.

i dont love you

but i love how lo...

The River

I used to shine but now I’m green, yet no algae lives in me. I used to Be the savior of fish, but now I sleep with them. I collected shell, now bottles. The fresh water fish now live in the salty sea. Slowly I fade into the cloud, and become acid rain. I beg you to save the fish....

You’ve Polluted Me

Margaret Sok

1 min read

It started with a speck of desire,

Only a grain.

It rooted itself through and through,

Haunting my brain.

No longer could I think

Without your presence there.

Your words polluted

My once fair air.

I cannot seem to find

The beauty I once thought,

For your cruelness has spread

Dispersing all my wants.

You’ve polluted my mind,

Forcing myself against me.

I cannot handle

Not being able to ...
