The crucifixion thoughts

It's the day of my crucifixion but I will not protest

I will let it happen so they can rest

I don't deserve it and they do

But I don't care I will do it for you

-Jesus


He is not the lord or the savior

He will be dead

It will be in our favour

No matter what youve read

-Jesus's persecuters


He is God's son

Why is he dying

He is the one

And he isn't even crying

Jesus's followers


The second stan...

"I think you look really great today!"


He's just trying to take advantage of you, he doesn't really mean it.


Stop telling me that. He does mean it. "Thank you, you look nice too!"


"Aww, you're so sweet. So, are you excited for tonight?"


Look at the way he grabs your hand, like he owns it. Pathetic. I can't believe you're falling for this.


Go away. "Yeah! I've got this sweater that...

STRONG STRONG STRONG (๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿคฌ) language.


This one would be what I consider โ€˜ugly poetryโ€™ - Iโ€™m not sure if I invented that phrase (in this context) and I am not bothered enough to look into it atm. Itโ€™s basically worthless words. Just ugliness put to some poetic form or language. Itโ€™s a picture of a poor moment. Like a picture of something moving through too much light...

The Voices

I can save you donโ€™t worry dear.

Youโ€™ll be alright as soon as I come by.

Youโ€™ll be okay.

Donโ€™t worry becuse Iโ€™m right beside you always.

Iโ€™m always there for you.

You will regret that!

Donโ€™t make me remind you again!

You will regret that!

You wonโ€™t make it!

You canโ€™t do it!

You are useless!

Let Me Sleep

(Warning: this thing is kinda weird and just a thingy Iโ€™ve been stressing over.)




I lay down my head, tuck myself beneath my snuggly warm comforter, and close my eyes. My body is clean and lotioned with lush Japanese cherry blossom; making me smell like, or what one would say, a grandmother. My thick hair tucked into a bonnet. Now all thatโ€™s left is for me to sleep.

**Voices in the Wind**

1.

The wind speaks first,

whispering secrets through the swaying grass,

I hear it say:

the old stories are not forgotten,

they are carried on the breath of the earth.


2.

A childโ€™s laughter follows,

cutting through the air,

sharp as sunlight on a cold dayโ€”

it doesnโ€™t know yet

that joy can be broken,

that voices can splinter like glass.


3.

Reading In A Room Full Of People

Okay Iโ€™m good

This is fine

This happens every time

Breathe in

Breathe out

Simple


Yeah but guess what?

Youโ€™re going to read those words

Your tongue will betray your eyes

Messing up your speech

The room is going to judge you

Thatโ€™s something to worry about


Heart drops

Pounding out of my chest


I donโ€™t care

Iโ€™m fine

I can speak like a normal person


_No but thatโ€™...

Sick Of You

[ONE]


I broke her heart,

and I meant every crack.

She shouldโ€™ve been smart

because it was just a contract.


If Iโ€™m foul,

why did you love me?

You scowl,

but you were just a nominee.


We had a deal,

and I kept it.

I never had feelings to conceal,

but I guess yours were legit.


[TWO]



Iโ€™m left to pick up the pieces

of an organ that was never mine.

Through sobs and wheezes,
