The Intruder

You’d think it was strange,My calculated coolnessAs barbed wire snaked up my legs and thighs,I grinned as the steely stiletto dug in.Quiet rejoicing beneath the singular sting of needles!Because it felt like justice.But for who? Did I protest when it all got too loud?Did I struggle against that invisible titanAs he seized my throatAnd stoleContinue reading “The Intruder”

A Sneaking Rage

I lay on the splintering wood. Weezer’s “California Kids” rattles through the back of my mind like a muddled memory. The smell of freshly-cut grass fills the air…Remember your breathing!… No need to be angry. Nothing is wrong. Still, the rage pools in the center of my brow, its acid dripping down to my lipsContinue reading “A Sneaking Rage”

The Poem with No Title

I stare outside through blood-stained eyes,You know those times, when you want to burn your life down?Come see the Queen’s broken crown,The emperor has no clothesDrowning, in a sea of hungry foes.The rebellion started as a single flame,Grew to a seething anger I couldn’t tame.This is not me!But it is, that’s what’s scary.And just asContinue reading “The Poem with No Title”

A Daydream

Sometimes I feel like the main character in a Taylor Swift song. When I think of you — of us — I picture us slow dancing, barefoot in the living room. I’m wearing something flowey that sweeps the ground when you twirl me around. Sometimes you are in a suit and tie, other times you’reContinue reading “A Daydream”

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”

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”

A Reintroduction Amid a Pandemic

I know I’ve been on a hiatus from this blog for a little more than a month, but I’m back and want to start posting weekly again, perhaps more frequently than that. I don’t have a very good excuse for why I was away so long apart from the fact that my creative brain wasContinue reading “A Reintroduction Amid a Pandemic”
