Gardening

As she said

I hate it

But who asked?

It’s hot and

It’s dirty

And bugs are

All over

A spider

On my leg

I panic

But who cares?

Overwhelmed

Already

The loud store

Makes it worse

I ask to

Go home soon

But she just

Ignores me

Flash forward

To right now

Shopping with

My sister

It’s loud and

I hate it

I don’t ask

To go home

It’s not like

It matters

If I’m not

Okay, right?...

Crux: the decisive, or most important point at issue

I,

For one,

Am glad

I grew up with unlimited joy

That I was sheltered from loss

And agony.

That I was given I chance breath

What I thought was fresh air.

I,

For one,

Am glad

That my parents protected me from

Sadness and cruelty

And showed me joy instead.

I,

For one,

Am glad

That I was fortunate enough to have that chance

To seek that ...

I was born into love already cracked at the seams

A house built on silence not childhood dreams

Mama was strong Daddy proud in his way

But their battles became the price I pay

Court papers decided where I would sleep

Every other weekend the distance ran deep

On bridges of steel I learned to fear

The sound of collisions still rings in my ear

He once took me north not to harm but to win

A war betw...

Yelling, kitchen cabinet doors slamming. Faces hot red with anger. Hands flailing in wild emotional description. I hold the hand of my little sister, my baby sister on my hip. We watch them argue for several minutes. They turn around and see us standing there. The sudden look of dismay washes over the both of them. Too young to know what this meant, my sisters and I just stood frozen, staring. Tea...

(Kinda had a rough day so Ima go to bed after this cuz I’m tired and sad😃 Hope you have a great day! Btw when I say “nobody” I mean no one in my family because my friends notice everything 😼🧚‍♀️)

Dad

Never

Noticed

Anything.

If I crocheted a new bag,

Mom would have to say something first.

If I got hurt and said nothing,

No one said anything.

Mom noticed

A few

Things.

Like, when I...

(I’m too brainrotted for this😭 Sry for not posting lately, a lot has been going on and AHHHH. Hope you have a great day!)

Something…

Something is wrong

About me.

Even when I was

Around 5 or

6 or maybe even 7.

*SIX SEVENNNNN*

After an argument

With my parents,

I sat in my room

Against the door

Repetitively saying

“No one loves you

Not Aunt

,

Not Uncle

Not Mom,

Not Dad,

Not a...

A lot of your actions

affected my life

Little moments that had big impacts

Sleeping at the dinner table

Missing school events

but only one has changed it

The train tracks altered

never to be switched back

You died

One stone carelessly tossed

throwing the river

into an entirely new direction

I can’t course correct

I’m forever like this

Unmoving and speeding

at the same time...

What if every moment mattered

What if you got through all the darkness in your life

What would be on the other side?

What if everything happened for a reason

What if those who lost hope ,

Had more of a chance of finding it again.

We might feel like we can’t go on

But if you pursue your dreams

If you clear the heavy fog of your shoulders

If you light up the darkness

Will you find your destiny?

...

Hey guys, I’m back! So this is basically the ending scene I wrote for one of my fanfics. I don’t know if my mom is ever going to let me post it, so this might be the only way anyone ever gets to read it.

“You deserve this,” Adora wrapped her arms around Catra, rubbing small circles on her back and burying her face in her neck. “You deserve to be happy. It’s finally over.”

Easter 1985

The third time the car let us down

Was on the hill coming out of

A cleansing break in Bath,

Back-dragged by a caravan

Weighed down with

Sepia, Super 8 holiday memories.

Dad called the AA

To save the day. Again.

Relayed home:

Father, sons and

Mum's unholy views on camping.

The car returned from the dead

Three days later,

Along with Dad's steering wheel smile.
