Beneath "I"

In the midst of my mind lies a rusty image- black and white.
A polarized negative swooning this tornado in the name of sanity like a dying virgin stroking tinted edges of its flesh for being itself. Beneath "I" lives a bird lost in an inundated translation of glitter of the seamless words roasted in cupid sanctuaries of inner turmoil.

#Gender identity prose

As the sandstorm of emotions abated

I kept walking with cuts unfazed

Lonely in the desert now

But have met other nomads on the way

Some were familiar faces

that led me to short but sweet oases.

The moons have passed and I remember myself once more

I see no longer a desert, but a beautiful ocean of sand, sky and clouds

painted by the light of the sun or the moon and stars.

Music has come to my life

and even if there were days of complete draught

I am still fine.

I see mirages of you from time to time

but just like what it is, you only pass by

like mist that kisses my skin.

I close my eyes and keep walking

The worst thing

probably

is to have a crush

on someone that listens to you.

Like falling inlove for angels

and fictional characters.

You both know each other deeply

yet wouldn't recognize each other on the street.

Oh what to do

what to do

what to do

Our hands - bridges
Listen!
Time - flowing beneath
I'm holding you
My frail body
- an anchor
For us there is no death
Breathe!
I'm holding you
My bones - growing into yours
You are my home
My motherland
Your face - my ikona
Your name - my prayer
That's why
I'm holding you
The way wheat holds the land
The way the horizon holds the sky
I'm holding you

Have You Ever

Have you ever had the feeling

Where you can't win?

Anything, or any battle

So life becomes grim

Have you ever had the feeling

Where you just choke?

On words you want to say

But never spoke?

Have you ever felt so lost?

You don't know where you began

Feeling like you've lost everything

And don't have a plan

Have you ever felt misunderstood

Where you just want yourself?

Never felt more alone

Thinking you have no wealth

Have you ever felt forgotten

Like no one in the world cares

Like the world's burdens are given

For only you to bear

Have you ever?

Have you ever?

To these words

I can never say never

But maybe, I don't have to stay this way forever

recently i've learned

i am not perfect

i am flawed

i am splintered around the edges

rough in places that haven't always been rough

part fire and brimstone, part human.

so human

and it's scary to be real

but it's fear that you need, fear that that reminds you

of the soul in your chest

and recently i've learned

i am not perfect

and it's scary

but it's human.

I wrote this for my English class and it was meant to have the tone of the original

I felt a funeral in my brain

I felt a funeral in my brain

when my phone dinged no more.

My screaming, begging and crying was not enough

Just like I wasn't enough for them

I felt a funeral in my brain

When their mother was at my door

Sobbing about how her baby was gone

Sobbing about how she was not enough

I felt a funeral in my brain

As I felt the sting on my thighs

My blood pouring out

As his did on that night

I felt a funeral in my brain

As the darkness encompasses me

In the night, his hoodie became his arms

As there I lay, pondering about how someone so humane could do something so untenable

I felt a funeral in my brain

Until the actual funeral came

His broken brother couldn't produce any more tears

Considering the oceans he had already made

The funeral came to an end

Along with my life

I was elated I finally decided to end all my strife.

I can see the way she looks at him with a tinge of hate, must be jealousy

She sees him and she thinks of me and what I must have that she doesn't

What makes me worthy of loving, while she isn't

I laugh in glee as I shove our love in her crying face

She tells me that I must be happy with myself because I have ruined everything

I remind her that she wasn't as lucky as I, for I have always been better

I am the best lover and the best woman of hate

I have our fathers strength and our mothers submission

I can be whatever he wants, so he will never be bored of me

The thought is so great that I can't believe that he is mine

Someone like me can't possibly deserve someone like him

Because nothing makes me feel the way he can make me feel

When he squeezes me so tight I can't breathe through his love

Or when he looks at me so deeply that I struggle to even stand

Sister thinks that she can take part in the love that we have for each other

But she doesn't know him like I do, hasn't seen him like I have

I see into him and he sees into me because we have no secrets

He is there for me in the middle of the night when I wake up screaming

He is there when I stand in the middle of a crowd and see nothing but darkness

She talks to me every once in awhile and I can tell she wishes to keep us apart

I scream and cry and tell her to leave us alone, I don't want to hear it

But I end up hearing parts of it anyhow, because he cannot keep her out

She speaks in tongues that I cannot comprehend because she must be insane

She crying and yelling most of the time anyway so she has to be

To tell me that I need to get help is pretty ridiculous because I have all I need

I have a shoulder to cry on and a body to hold and that's perfect for me

Last time, she asked me what I am so scared of, why I refuse to let him go

And I laugh at her stupidity because he is the best thing that has ever happened to me

He held me when I was broken and when I could I longer go on with life

He promised me that if I would be his, then I would no longer worry about anything

He traded me my life for my body, which I was happy to give to him

I don't care about how it looks because he takes care of it for me

He tells me what I have to do to it to make everything better and he is never wrong

He knows exactly what I need, without me having to say a word

What was it she said to me the last time that she came to see me?

Oh yes, it was a tale of a girl who fell so deep into misery that she begun to unravel

She cut down to the bone in the name of love because she could no longer stand life

She broke down into pieces and went insane until the only thing holding her together

Was the very thing that broke her in the first place, the darkness inside her

What a silly story from my sister, I'm sure she only said it because the blood was too much for her

She always was such a weak one, which is why she left me in this ugly place to rot

It's okay though, because I always will have the darkness around me to keep me happy

She will never be able to take him away because he has crawled inside of me for safety

Guardian

Time flows in a filled shell, shifting between

Lots of events, some which are not seen

In life alone. Quotes come when evil strikes,

Breaths are exhaled from treacherous spikes

Of calamity. Some of these events

Need Guardians, because we just need to vent

Out the madness and frustration when hurt

By irreplaceable times. I will word

Thy quotes from long ago and always be

By your side when times are tough. Let us see

The future at its finest; bear with what

It has in store! We have made this a must

Have for generations; it is time for

The Guardians to know the peoples

No one can fight the demons in your head but you. But I'm so tired of fighting. My shield is broken, sword cracked. I lay dying in a bed that was build to hold me up but only brings me down.
No one will notice, no one cares the voices say. You're not worth even the tears you're drowning in they scream at me. Eventually you start to believe them. I drop my sword and it shatters on the floor, shield falling to the ground with it.
Come get me shadows, I've been ready for so long. It was merely human nature holding me here. I scream at them to take me, but the shadows stay put. You have to take the step towards us, merely the first step, then we'll take you with us. I'm screaming at my feet to move forward but they won't budge. I guess I haven't lost yet, but I sure as fuck haven't won.

(no title, just came out of me while I was yelling at the universe to make the bad thoughts go away)
