Without supervision

...See more How can a match help but burn itself up when the only way to feel alive  is to self-destruct? So, I don't want your gurus- I want revolutions *** in the bathtub and I can feel the cords  rubbing my neck to my next  personal national anthem. Goodbye zen gardens and high mountaintops- I only want to know war and desire- I need to feel life  in my teeth.  Because nothing is enough and the void  has me running scared back to the bottle.

call it love

...See more it snowed that day a grey cloud preyed on me, the wind was heavy, there i was planted between running and pleading it snowed that day when you smiled at me, said everything was alright, but why does my heart beat so fast, so fast as if almost bursting through my chest it snowed that day i looked into your eyes, you looked into mine, filled with a pool of tears waiting to overflow, my trembling voice couldn't reach you in time as you spoke, words of love that i can't recognize it snowed that day as i looked out the window, the beautiful flakes making the ground their own, as you said, how marvelous my face was, and held me by the throught it snowed that day pinned against a wall, i felt helpless, as if the coldness of your finger tips sucked the life out of me, finally a tear drops, your wicked amused smile tells me, heaven has abandonned me it snowed that day the pain was enough to numb out the sound of your voice, yelling, piercing in my ears, saying that you loved me, i once believed those words, i'm not too sure now it snowed that day when  i looked back on how i trusted you, when things went wrong, i have no clue, what i do know is, no one would ever believe me if i told them what you did as it snowed that day, i asked myself if this is what they call love, the love they wrote about in books was never like this, at least not as i imagined it. if this is love, i want no part in it call it love, call it monstrous

...See more Dard-e-dil ke bagair mehfil? Mehfil toh bas ek sauda lagti hai, Jahan mohabbat bhi hisaab maangti hai... Gao, zaat, mazhab, maal-o-daulat, rang-o-roop, Kad aur wazan ke farmaan ke bagair toh rishte... Mehfil kehti hai, "Jodi uparwala banata hai." Neechewale... uski banayi taqdeer ko... Apne haathon se naye bandhan... Jo kabhi... Swastika, trishul, Crescent moon aur star, cross... Ke bina adhoore hain. Jisne ye tamaam kainaat banayi, Jism par apne paak nishan lagana bho_ Universal beings h... Jo makhlooq ek jahan ki hai, Wahi apne aap ko hadd-o-hudood mein baandh leti hai, Azaadi ke shayariyan likhti_ Jo soorat-e-insaniyat ko asliyat mein pehchan na saki, Wahi duniya bhar mein_ "Insaniyat sabse afzal dharm hai!"

...See more              its okay to be sorry for not knowing what you won't you don't have to apologize  ''do I not have to I say'' but when I make the smallest mistake you yell at me  and then apologize and how am I supposed to feel?             I feel scared that you may leave me but you are not good for me I'm sorry for trying my best for you  I'm not good enough   but I keep trying  love is such a funny thing  February 6th will never be the same for me  I don't hate I was not raised for such but I can crumble on the floor and grief for the rest of my life

No Rainbow After the Storm
by iloveyouxx
Last post
 December 31st
...See more No Rainbow After the Storm The rain has passed, but skies are gray, No arc of color lights the way. For years, I’ve battled through the flood, Each step weighed down with sinking mud. They said the storm would break, be kind, That sunlight waits, a peace to find. But now the clouds just linger on, The hope I held is cold and gone. They promised brighter days ahead, But all I see is dull instead. It doesn’t get much better here, Just more of pain, and less of cheer. Perhaps the calm they spoke about, Was never meant for those who doubt. And though the storm has passed me by, No rainbow ever filled the sky.

Ashes Fall {TW}
by AshesOfAPhoenix
Last post
 December 18th, 2024
...See more TW- Blood, Fire A drop of blood, a moment's sting, As flames consume each fragile thing. The roaring fires, once bright and fair, Now leave behind a dark despair. The crimson tears that fall like rain Cannot extinguish this raging pain. The haven cherished, now turned to ash, As screams of terror harshly clash. The flames unbound, a raging tide, Consuming all that once did hide. No mercy shown, no pity found, As ashes drift and fall to ground. A world once whole, now torn apart, Reduced to cinders, a broken heart.

TW: SA

...See more Trigger Warning - SA Sidles up by my side No one around to see Pulls my hand, leans in close And smiles unsettlingly If you say a word to anyone Who do you think they'll believe You won't attempt it, right love? Pulls closer, I freeze. Seated in a dim lit room, I shiver, heart drumming, His fingers graze my trembling skin, Speaking soft yet stingingly If you scream or try to fight, Who would care to hear your cries You'll just let it go, right love? No more truths, all lies. Pins me up against the wall, My eyes a silent plea Groping, tugging at my skirt Breathes hot and heavily If you hint a word to anyone Life as you know it will shatter You don't have the strength, do you love? You're lost, you can't recover. Lying down in bed, Him on top of me. Squeezing my throat and neck, And whispering threateningly: If you say a word to anyone, I'll make sure you'll never breathe another! You'll never do that, right love? Squeezes tighter, covers.

The mark I leave behind.

 December 8th, 2024
...See more Hi. some of you may know who i am. some of you may not. But… yeah, either way, I realised i rarely share any of the stuff i write. this is just something i wrote not too long ago. I was supposed to submit this to my writing group but decided to post it here instead… lol. So yeah. bleh. here it is. The mark I leave behind The mark I leave behind, will it be a scar? A reminder of the demon I was? Will you ache to rub it off your skin the way I need to shed my past, my plastered pain, my scars, my life?  You can go back to the beginning, but nothing would change. We both know it would be the same. The child I was crawled and grew into a girl The girl trudged on through life and became a hungering ghost only to haunt her own corpse I could start my life again, but I would always reach the middle, the mess I made of my life. So when it’s time for me to leave, Will the mark be everything I dread? Everything I see in myself? Will you wish I was never there? - that idiot named Ni
