A fairy tale of soul creation.

At dusk, there was a woman who had her heart broken by a foul beast. She would spend this night welling in the tears of a woman not scorned, but a woman far passed hurt. For she did not know the turmoil brewing into her, seeping its way th…

Decay.

I had the knowledge of the pain and horror that I would feel in this world, just as strongly as I felt all of the potential joy. But, as I'm older, I can forsee the potential decay that will happen when I finally become tired of all of the…

The Villain's high school image.

In stories, there were times where the villain was sometimes someone that was once remarkable. As you were. But there then became that point where you changed. Your intentions were fine, but the actions upon them were toxic. There were thi…

How to mask the things that you wish to be rid of.

Sometimes, when I look into glass, I can see all of the adherent notecards clinging to my person, all of them saying the things that I shouldn't care about. All of the superficial edges torn apart with words sharp as a wolf's claws. It fee…

The profound lack of Knowledge.

I'm sure that it's difficult to see through all of the idiotic nosense that I cover myself with, but I promise you that beneath it, there are words and memories that make me sound smart because I know them all too well. I could tell you al…

To mend the broken.

When the body is sick, you take medicine. But in reality, any medicine that you could give me would only put a stopper on all of the emotions that I pretend to not feel. There are so many times that I wish that I could go to any doctor so …

To die of a broken heart.

When people look into themselves after the sun comes back up, do they feel any lighter than the darkness that overtook them the night before. It's easy to lie to yourself when you see your superficial expression. But to look at the battere…

Wrenches and screwdrivers.

The brevity of life is normally measured in years, hours, minutes, and seconds. It's harder to measure it in the things that we remember. It's heart-wrenching to think about all of the warm times in the fire and the cold times of being shu…

Settle.

Like dust, after the storm everything settles to the ground. The air becomes calm and everything seems to be at peace. The atmosphere can breathe a sigh of relief. But what of the leaves? In the fall when all that was up must once again co…

Dusk before the full dawn.

When you make a permanent mistake, what shall you do? It was once. One thing can make you its own promise that you musn't break. Suddenly you belong to a cmmmunity of people that you never liked to belong to. Because of one mere slice, you…

Things that I was told.

No one will ever want to get close enough to you. No one really cares when they say they do. There is not a thing that you should change about yourself. You aren't worth what you seem. Your dreams will never get you far. Why can't you be h…

Magnets.

If I had the choice, I wish that I could've changed charges before it was too late. I yearn for the time where I never looked for the half that would make me whole. It's simple to attach but it always takes that extra effort to pull two th…

Torn

As the things we used to know come to an end, and the unknown comes about, history tells us to be scared. Fear the worst because no one truly knows what will become of you. The terrible things that life is known to do in seconds suddenly s…

Bubble.

Trapping myself in all directions. The flame I used to have waning into me, charring any of the cruelty that was spat at me. I look into myself and I see a world of hurt, relentless lashes to the heart that never got the chance to see the …

Black and white.

An old movie became me. All of the things that I remember with such strong nostalgia leave their marks in me no matter where I turn. The people that I fell for and never quite got back up from. When I see the girl that I will never be, but…

Wisdom teeth.

The things that we never need always seem to stay with us the longest. Parts of the body that just always seem to be there all of a sudden aren't. Subtle as it leaves, the spark that kept you lively fades into a distance to a point where i…

Released.

From my cold, dead fingers because I know that there's no more blood to flow through. As my heart keeps on trying, I can never hold any of it down. All of my fears flow through with all of the red that I see leave me. All of me is always c…

Deep down never seemed so close.

I wonder what I would be like if I could stop repressing all of the things that matter. As I'm open to some I feel it's too much that I share, and when I'm alone, I feel everything bubble up, and once I show a bit I end up revealing everyt…

Isolation is bliss.

I feel myself pushing everyone away. I didn't think too many people would notice. A disappointing thing is that I was right. My voice shrinks back, away from all of the chatter chasing after me, and into all of the things that I can't talk…

Self-administered tranquilizers.

Two breaths in, I don't feel either of them leave. The longer I go on, the shakier I get. To make the mind stationary is a control freak's lullaby. As much as I longed for control, knowing it was impossible, I continue trying to get my int…

Still.

When she was done with her carriage, there lie a pumpkin. But, for that one night, she could feel important and beautiful. It's a remarkable thing when the nicest things pass, and all that is left is the now. Sometimes, the past sems like …

Existential Identity crisis.

It's hard to draw yourself when you have no idea who you are. People go so long doing the same things, but there always comes a time where everything becomes a single motion. After doing that for so long, I have no idea where I stand anymo…

And it's a fine thing.

I wonder what it would be like to wake up as a nicer person. Kindness seeping out of every pore. A normalcy that was never meant to exist persisting in a strange fashion because I know that I've only looked like a kind person as an attempt…

Textbook diagnostics.

Sometimes, I think it'd be really useful, if I had a book that could tell me everything that I was. Society will always tell you that you're different, but that you're beautiful. If the outer quotations of society were correct, people woul…

Memories of self.

I look at the old naive photos. Study them intently. And I realize something profound. I know all of the things that you were are the things that you always will be. Your hair is frozen in the frizzy locks that you didn't care to change. Y…

Ripped into thinner shards.

If you've taken half of me, know that you've taken all of me. For I cannot give you anymore than what I am. Though I don't have much, I can search for the rest... But I'm not quite sure that I had anything in me to begin with. I want to ch…

Island of Misfit Girl.

People are aware of the things that show up clear in their eyes. But not everyone is that same way. I poured my heart out to you, thinking that this would make you aware. Aware that I'm worthy of affection, attention, or at the least, ackn…

Crystal.

Never have I trusted an initial feeling. I never know what I love until I've hated it. I'll never value it until I can no longer have it. Never has anything been instantly clear. Many times, I start out hating things because I don't exactl…

The effort to NOT respond.

Having to act like everything's normal proves to be difficult. Especially when it seems that I'm the only one who thinks anything is wrong. It seems sad that people would even have to consider resorting to such petty acts. Avoiding one's e…

The truth.

I'll hand you a bucket full of lies and you would think it was one drop of truth because you didn't look closely enough. I'm sure that you feel better- but at the same time, I wonder if it really mattered. I'm sure there's a way that I can…
