A secret not so closely guarded. A heart of glass shattered most days, in small ways. A passing comment or random choke in the throat? Chip, chip, chip away. Take it all! I don’t want it anymore. Get up, glue it together, rudimentary. Set yourself back. On your heels, better than on your toes, right?Continue reading “Glass Heart”

Noir
Maybe it’s just because it’s storming outside as I’m writing this, but I was just thinking, it would be so cool to star in my own noir detective story. You know, the black-and-white TV shows/movies. The detective is the last one at the precinct, working into the late hours as he/she/they try to piece togetherContinue reading “Noir”
My Fallen Angel
She glowed, ethereal and tragic,An angel fallen from grace,But I was drawn to her magic.Her eyes were translucent and distant,A pearl washed ashore,But I saw a shadow there, something of a misfit,Despite all the warning signs,I charged on, closed my eyes.For all the pain we endured,Bleeding hearts on marble floors,I feel I will never beContinue reading “My Fallen Angel”
The Dragon that Swallows Fire
I breathe in hot embers,It’s like a firework has explodedIn my chest,But instead of beauty,I find destruction there.The sudden burst of warmthFades to a chillI can’t quite describe,It’s as if something wasThere,And will never be,There again.The unease of emptiness,The apprehension toward change,I want to be the DragonThat swallows fire!Absorbs its harrowing nature,And reforms it,Makes itContinue reading “The Dragon that Swallows Fire”

Stop! This is a Mental Health Checkpoint! (VIDEO)
You are so much stronger than you know! I’ve said it before but it needs to be repeated. In fact, my homework to you is to repeat that to yourself at least once a day. Even though I did not start out having the best day, it is never too late to turn that around.Continue reading “Stop! This is a Mental Health Checkpoint! (VIDEO)”
Painting a Vampire (VIDEO)
I’m going to be honest, when I sat down with my paintbrush today, I had no idea what I was going to paint. I just kind of started going. I’m really glad with how it all turned out! And yes, I am also on TikTok in case you were wondering how the video was editedContinue reading “Painting a Vampire (VIDEO)”
My Room
Familiar four walls,A safe haven with prison bars,Let me out!I can’t leave today…Lacking the strength toCross the threshold.Leave me alone,But please don’t leave me. Familiar four walls,Purple,My favorite.Ridiculous vibrance,Stop mocking me!I love you,No, please, I didn’t mean to yell. Familiar four walls,Adorned with dreamcatchers and symbols of peace,Screaming into my pillow,With senseless, burning tears,Namaste. FamiliarContinue reading “My Room”
My Tentacle Monster
I don’t know about the rest of you, but the days I’m really down, I can visualize what is wrong without necessarily having the words for it. Today, I’m going to try to describe it. It’s like these long, shadowy tentacles breaking through my chest. It feels like they’re breaking the bones in my chestContinue reading “My Tentacle Monster”
Wakefulness
I feel like I’m floating,In the space between sleep and wakefulnessSlipping just below the surface,The weight of sleep rests heavyOn my face.A welcome pressure,Still, sleep alludes me,Children chasing each other in a game of tag. I wait patiently to greet my friend,Wondering aimlessly,Around this twisted forest of thought.Frustration growsLike fire in my eyes.Tranquility lost,I wantContinue reading “Wakefulness”
