I genuinely feel like crying tonight

I kneel where the light cannot reach, where shadows stretch long like weary sighs. My fingers sink into the earth, grasping for something—anything— but the soil only crumbles in my hands. My breath is a tattered hymn, shaking like autumn’s last leaf. The weight of silence crushes my ribs, until my... read more

A deep desire to write, a deep desire to drop words Like water seeping through from the centre of a sponge, it  outwards from the centre of my body My heavy dreams of yesterday, my rarefied but lead-filled-like limbs The misty uneasiness that swirls in my lower abdomen My existence floats parallel... read more

Chidlike mother and a motherly child

The song DNA Guarantee by Kodi Rhianne kept playing in my head all day, even after I woke up from a nap. The lyrics—"childlike mother and a motherly child"—felt like they were written about my life. I was never my abusive mother’s baby, not even a maybe. Everything she hated about me felt like a... read more

A Call to the Wild, the Lost, the Never-Grown, the Ones Who Still Dream

I am a child. A teenager. A soul that never grew up, that never fit into the dull gray world of adulthood, no matter how much people tried to force me. And I am searching for my people. Not just any friends. Not just some online chats that fizzle out after a few weeks. No. I am searching for... read more

What a masterpiece of suffering i have become

I am a fragile, broken, brilliant little one. My heart aches with a pain so profound it feels as though the heavens themselves should tremble at my suffering. What this world has done to me is a crime beyond measure, beyond comprehension, beyond forgiveness. My mother—this wretched woman who dared... read more

The Merchant of Venice

The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives and him that takes. 'Tis mightiest in the mightiest

Tormenting nightmares

The night relinquished me not into the gentle embrace of slumber, but into the cruel, ceaseless theatre of my own mind—a place where horrors are not content to remain in memory, but must instead be relived, reshaped, and reborn with every closing of my eyes. What a dreadful farce it is, this thing... read more

There is no similar feeling

To the melancholy depth of ending an amazing narrative. I've spent 1000 pages with them both, and now, as the last 80 pages inch to the end, I feel the sadness holding my heart. And there I go, another breakup, another friend is gone. The empty loneliness takes hold, till its submerged in a new... (edited) read more
