The Day

The day I knew I wasn’t the only one who broke the circle, was the day my little sister got married. I felt so proud. She found a man who loved her and accepted the family she came from.

I realized, that she a...

I’m Not Lucky

My friends call me I’m lucky, to be where I’m today.

But I never told them — I’m not lucky, I’m a hard worker.


They only see the result, not the effort behind it....

Were you there?

I saw her there, all frozen.

Skin and bone.

Eaten away, down to the marrow.

Barely conscious.


She just kept saying yes to the grog,

Now shes thrown up just before entering the school gates,

Invisible bottle of ‘ol mighty unfilteredness’


Its 4:37am and shes walking down the peninsula with no recollection,

Screenshots of a night one does not remember,

Yellow and red approaches and all of a sudden ...

The Long Night

She stands in the middle of the room

white dress wrapping her like winter air

like something meant to be beautiful

but not meant to be warm.


Everyone is smiling at her

They lift glasses

tell stories

dance as if the music is carrying them away

I can’t stop watching her.


Her hand is in his

but it’s not resting there

it’s caught

like a leaf caught in a stream that runs the wrong way

They walk toget...

She Found Love.

Finally, she found love. After years of day dreaming, fantasising and writing about it. Finally my little girl has found a prince, a good man. A heavenly man.


She craved love like nothing we have all ever seen. “It’s there, somewhere out there.” She would say, starring out the window and with anticipation.


If there’s anything a heartbreak taught was, she was indeed capable for loving

Everything...

Remember where it all started? I mean, when we first met? In English, the teacher assigned groups an...

ENOUGH

(this is abt friendship breakups)


Y’know, sometimes i womder what made her do it. Why she cut me off. Maybe i wasn’t good enough, maybe i wasn’t enough of a people pleaser. There might’ve been signs. I was too busy wrapped up in myself to notice, though. I was too busy posting immature comments on the internet while she was silently battling her will to live and love. I was too available, too uno...
