I’m Not Powder.

-I’m obsessed with Arcane right now!!! I’m on S1 E7 DONT TELL ME ANY SPOILERS! I haven’t been paying that much attention so some of it might be wrong 😊-



It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

I killed my friends,

my family.

All but my sister,

who I thought left me,

and died.

But she got taken.

After she left me.

After I ruined everything.

But that was Powder.

She had to much trust.


Silco.

He help...

trusting you

when trusting you

is the worst choice,

who’s left to trust?...

Who’s Left To Trust?

Who’s left to trust?

Everyone betrayed you

Left you for dead


Who’s left to trust?

No one likes you

No wants you alive.


Who’s left to trust?

They left

Your family, your friends


Who’s left to trust?

You asked yourself this

Every single day


No one is left to trust.

You decide

Locking your heart behind a wall


No one is left to trust.

You decide

Until you see _them_.


(Just let the words flow. D...

Would You?

If I handed you gun


Would you point it at me?


If I turned my back


Would you strike at me?


If I faltered for even a minute


Would you use that against me?


If I gave you the power


Would you destroy me?


If so


Who’s left to trust?...

Liars

I built my walls

with careful hands

Stacked stone on stone

made quiet plans


I gave my heart

to passing ghosts

To lovers, liars, friends

I’d host


They took their turns

they broke, they bent

Left echoes

where their words were spent.


I stitched my wounds

with threads of lies

Pretending love

would never die


The mirror

it shows a stranger’s face

A hollow stare

an empty space


I count the names

...

Trust

Hurt people will hurt people

And everyone is hurt

They may not mean it

They may not notice

But they’ll tear you down

It’s better to be alone

Because when everyone’s hurt

Who’s left to trust...

Who is left to trust

Whos left to trust

When the world burns around me

And everyone stops and stares


Who is left to trust

When no one pays attention

As you pray and ask for forgiveness


Who is left to to trust

When you just keep getting hurt

And no one sees the scars


Who is left to trust

When no one sees the signs

Of your rapid decline


Who is left to trust

When everything feels so empty

And impossible to fill


_...

You Are Trust

You’re young, I get it.


You’re welcoming, I don’t.


You open up your arms,


Everyone cozying into your soul and skin,


Leaving a mark as dark as their intentions.


It’s a risk,


It’s a chance,


But it’s a choice.


So open up more,


Eventually those legs will too.


Your heart stepped on and stepped on,


But who cares?


You decided to.


My question is,


When you still have those arms o...

Beggar

_If my body turned cold today, would you miss me tomorrow? When you see my cold face and my pale skin would you regret everything you never said? Would you regret everything you ever did to me? Every touch. Every word. Every second spent on those Tuesday nights. Would you want it all back? I want to get into your head like you did mine. I want to walk those twisted roads in your brain. I want to k...

Aria 2.0

When all goes to shit

When everything’s alright

Through thick and thin

Back me up in a fight

All it took was a boy

To tear that apart

Generation by generation

My grandma and my mom

Girl against girl is how we lose, don’t you see?

My trauma, baby, was from my dad and a boy

Why did you add to it too?

Why not find someone new?

Who’s deserving of what you did to us?

Who’s left to trust?...
