*Write Club Post* . The saying “Death came knocking on my door” is all lies. Death doesn’t knock, if he did, I wouldn’t have to open the door, wouldn’t have to let him in. Really, he just walks in, and acts like he owns the place. Because with the twitch of his icey fingers, HeContinue reading “Death Skipped the Doorbell and Just Walked In”

*Observation Post* . Nature is vengeful, how dare we ruin Her beauty? we are killing Her creatures, tearing down Her children to give ours room to grow we suffocate Her with carbon emissions after burning Her claimed victims .

*Wild Card Post* The girl in the black brimed hat stood watching As the room unfolded into conversation, And evolved as words like “I hate you” stretched to each corner. But it wasn’t a kind of hate that left a bitter taste in your mouth Or furrowed brows when you leave. . It wasn’t aContinue reading “The Girl in the Black Brimmed Hat”

*Wild Card Post* I’m just gonna say getting back into writing is hard. So please don’t expect much from this post lol. . Everything is either good, or evil.

*Goodbye Post* Goodbyes were never my strong suit. I never learned to say them because there was always too much emotion attached. Too much barricaded on the tip of my tongue that I could never let out. . There was never a responce from my lips to my mother’s hasty “goodbye” when I left. SheContinue reading “I Was Never Good at Goodbyes”

*Heart Post* . I hate the phrase “tug on my heartstrings” Because my hearstrings are never tugged. You’d rather rip them apart because you love watching pipes burst. Love seeing my blood on your hands, And me having no control over it. Love tearing out the thread in my heart And weaving yourself a scarf.Continue reading “to the woman who bound her heart to mine from my birth”

*Wild Card Post* I like the night, it’s calm. Calm like the air after rain. A force that settles the world, Wrapping arms of silence around necks And blankets of darkness over eyes. It’s an involuntary calm that tugs my lashes open. A calm that makes 3 hours on a math assignment feel natural. AContinue reading “Why I Stay Awake”

*Reveal Post- I guess* I really didn’t want to post this so ya’ll better enjoy it. Jk, I don’t really care. . I don’t know why it’s so hard for me to admit to my alias. To claim the one of the few parts of me I can be proud of. Maybe because I’m notContinue reading “why do i have to reveal myself?”
