  1. Happy Birthday!!!

  2. The Bigger Person

     
    I think it’s time
    For a change, don’t you?
     
    I’ve been taking for
    Too long.
    It’s time for me to give.
     
    Can I be the person
    For you
    That you were
    For me?
     
    Can I be your
    Shoulder to cry on?
    Person to talk to?
    A safe place?
     
    I want to care for you
    The way you showed me.
     
    If that means being the
    Bigger person,
    The mamma,
    Older?
    I don’t mind.
     
    On the contrary-
    I want that chance.
    To not think about myself
    For once.
     
    Because maybe
    I was made
    To help.
     
    If I can’t help myself,
    So be it.
     
    If I can help you,
    Hold you,
    Care for you,
    Will you give
    Me that chance?
     
    I understand,
    Trusting is hard.
    It can hurt.
    But healing is a cost.
    It can be painful.
    But in the end, isn’t it
    Worth the pain?
     
    You don’t have
    To say yes.
     
    Things can stay how
    They are, and maybe
    Continue to
    Get better.
     
    But, my mindset has
    Changed.
    I’m going to try
    And be the bigger person
    Sometimes.
     
    Not all the time-
     
    Nobody can keep that
    Up forever.
    They weren’t meant to.
    Life is a burden.
     
    There are joys in
    The world,
    And also sorrows.
     
    Both to numerous
    To count.
     
    But everyone still
    Needs that older
    Person
    Sometimes.
     
    My life is a book.
     
    Sorrow is spread across
    Paragraphs.
    Joy is in the margins.
    It’s small, yet still there.
     
    This book of my life
    Is held and balanced
    By many hands.
     
    Your hands are there.
    My family’s.
    Other friends.
     
    The point is,
    Everyone has people
    Helping to hold
    Their book.
    Their life.
     
    I myself
    Am helping to hold
    Many books.
    The more I hold,
    The better I learn to hold
    My own book.
    The bigger my impact is.
    I want to change
    The world.
     
    Will you let me
    Hold a part of your book?
    A part of who you
    Really are?

  5. Who are we

    But the nameless?

    The faceless?

    The lost,

    Directionless,

    Hopeless...

     

    Do we know who we are?

    Do we care to know

    Who we are?

     

    If we found out,

    Would we be happy?

     

    Would we just go back to

    The repetitive motion

    Of drawing the knives across taunt skin?

     

    Of watching red

    Drip

    From flesh.

     

    We don't know who we are.

    What we're here for.

     

    We're going through the motions.

    Just you and I.

    Together, and yet alone

    In this big, empty world.

     

    Someone to confide in.

    Someone to hurt.

    The thing we live inside,

    Yet hate.

     

    Is this who we were meant to be?

    This... thing?

    This bloody

    Battered

    Tired

    Lonely

    Thing? 

     

    Who are we?

    What is wrong with us?

    What is so undesirable about

    Us?

    What did we do?

    Did we ever

    Have a purpose?

     

    We've done things...

    Shameful things.

    We don't regret them...

    Necessarily... 

    But sometimes

    We wish the outcome would have been

    Different.

    We wish we were different.

     

    But...

    We are different.

    Unlike everyone else.

    Too weird and messed up

    Too dangerous

    A mistake.

    No like the others

    At all.

     

    So we go on.

    Somehow

    Just existing.

      ”Nuh uh. You’re no mistake”

      ”Maybe you are different, but is that really a bad thing? I mean have you seen what people are like nowadays?”

      Lemme make a list:

      Spoiler

      Stealing stuff from schools

      Road Rage

      Constantly. Storming. Swearing. Dude I know 6th graders (now 8th graders) who literally were swearing worse than drunken sailors because I suck at basketball.

      A lot of other things

    2. The Isochronism

      The Isochronism

      Lost is an interesting word, though definitely one I'm guilty of using often. I've started replacing that word with another one. "Directionless." Lost implies a path -or destination- exists. I'm not sure I feel that. 

      That alone is complicated.

    Do you ever think Spotify is spying on you?!

    Well, I do.

    They randomly played Tattoos by Citizen Soldier for me this afternoon. 

    If you haven't heard this song, it made me cry so many tears.

    Go listen to it.

    Before you read the rest of this.

    I'm about to be a bit... vulnerable, so don't read if you don't care.

    Please.

    So, some of you might have been able to guess from my writing and some of the things I've posted here, but... I've been struggling with self-harm since September 2023. I'm not asking for pity. I don't need that. Do I know what I need? No. Have I gotten better? Not yet. We're working on it. 

    Now, I know for a fact that I'm not the only one on this website that struggles with this and I know sure as hell I'm not the only one in the world who struggles with this. I want you to know that you aren't alone. I'm willing to share more of my story if you PM me. Or don't. It's okay. 

    My scars, every single one, are apart of my story, and I'm trying not to hide anymore. It's hard. But we're still trying. That's what matters.

    Hi people!

    Here's why.

    Spoiler

    So, camping.

    tent,

    don't like tent,

    away from home in don't like tent,

    not allowed to have phone so no help if I need it in don't like tent,

    with people who don't accept me and who I've only know for a few months with no phone in don't like tent,

    has to dress up like an 18th century woman in 80 degree weather with people and no phone in don't like tent,

    has to stay for three days in hot clothing and hot weather with people and no phone in don't like tent.

    So... I'm not going to be online until Saturday night ish EST.

    Uhh...

    Does it get more iconic than that?

    It does when Veil is here.

    Mental Picture

     
    I’m imagining
    Somewhere quiet,
    Peaceful.
     
    I’m whisking myself away ,
    Creating a mental picture.
     
    I can go anywhere,
    For imagination has
    No limits.
     
    I’m ignoring the
    Noises.
    The hustle and
    Bustle of
    A crowed
    Restaurant.
     
    I’m ignoring
    The dizziness
    Ignoring the headache.
     
    Trying not
    To focus on
    The banging
    Clanging
    Voices
    Can’t breathe-
     
    Heart racing
    Mind numbing
    Tunnel vision
     
    Blinking back
    The black spots
     
    People behind me
    Reaching for
    Knives
    Kill my family
     
    Can’t breathe-
    Swirling
    Always swirling
    Not hungry
    Have to escape
     
    Run
    Hide
    Disappear
     
    Feel hot and cold
    Flushed
    Dizzy
     
    Good thing
    I’m sitting
    Down
    Or i might
    Pass out
     
    Watch
    Buzzes
    Heart rate
    To fast
     
    Can’t slow down
    Racing
    My mind
    Have to
    Pay
    Attention to
    The children
    Need me
    Can’t not be okay
    For them
     
    Calling my name
    Snap out
    Play their games
    Sit on shaking
    Hands
     
    Mental picture
    Dissipates
    Fading
    Popping into
    Dark swirling
    Mist.
     
    No escape
    Not yet
    Chest feels
    Tight
    Legs shake
    Can’t breathe
    Trying not to
    Hyperventilate
    Hot
    Hot hot hot
     
    Take a sip of
    Water
    The burns my
    Tongue with
    Cold
    But does nothing
    To rid of the
    Internal heat
    And pressure
     
    Can’t find
    My mental picture.
    It’s gone.
