There is a kingdom in me,
and sometimes it is burning.
Sometimes, I let it.
I promise never to hide this from you.
That is my vow.
I promise to be an open mouth.
I promise to stay fractured.
I promise to be imperfect.
I promise to be the bravest .
broken window you’ve ever seen

I am sick of nuancing other peope's mistakes
I don't care they had a bad day
I don't feel like standing above the flames of frustration
I let it consume me, from ashes to ashes
there is no place here for external reflection
The blazing arrows pointed at angry eyes looking at me
soon to target everybody who's even closeà
my rage undiscriminating, from dust to dust
My anger powers the phoenix in me to rise
the fire, consuming everything, has left me alone
just like me, nobody coated themselves in compassion
just like me they let the inferno roar

When our song slowed down
I realised it was my song
all along
I aways bottle it up
but now I pour out the love
for myself
Because you where killing me
kindly and my skin is thicker but it burns
all the same
and you will get better
in your never new year
and I'm gone
We tought it was a love song
but I realised it was mine
all along

It's been a while
but I found a home
there's a shower and stove
and a bed that fits only one
I will deal with the mold
I wil deal with the rodents
To be honest I brought them here
Because I was too scared of being alone
but it's mine now
I've made my descision to stay
The only thing I shouldn't do
is wander out the door
again

OUR LOVE WAS LIKE
A FAIRYTALE, MAYBE THAT’S
WHY IT DIDN’T LAST LONG.
BECAUSE FAIRYTALES AREN’T
MEANT TO BE NOVELS.

When I am sad
my mother sends me apples
my friends send me booze
I'm hangover in somebody's bed
my mother toldme to keep hydrated
I'm clenching my thirst in the wrong wells
the answer is right there
but I'm not ready yet to accept that mistakes
are sometimes only that
I am sorry, I am
for my mom, for not listening
for myself, for not being smart
I'll keep passing up the apples
and I take beer over water
but when I lie in the gutter
I still know the answer
It's right there

i am actually very, very glad i didn't rush into and invest in a long term relationship at a young age. because i worry.
i realize that everyone is different, but i always ask myself when i see those couples who've been going on strong since their freshman year of high school, "did you learn to love yourself first? are you even bothering to learn to love yourself? or are you just depending on them for a majority of your happiness? what happens when they leave? how are you going to handle it?"
i worry because after my first relationship ended, i was a wreck. i felt so worthless. we only were together a little over a month, but the time i spent with him was amazing. he made me happy, but i couldn't find happiness within myself. i didn't love myself. and that's why i felt like my life was over when it all ended. but i'm glad it happened, because i am finally on a journey to loving myself.
i'm not saying breakups are never going to be hard, but they'll certainly be easier when you realize that you are responisble for your own happiness. loving yourself comes first, and i hope people can realize that before they get so wrapped up in another person.

“Passion has little to do with euphoria and everything to do with patience. It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer.”
— Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

you text her, she texts
you three hours later, you text her four hours later to compensate, she says she likes you but purposely posts photos of herself cuddled up with some other dude so she knows you see it. He tells you he misses you, you tell him you miss him, he deletes you on all forms of social media then disappears off the face of Earth never to be seen from again. STOP IT. This s.hit is not a game. Abandon ship. Stop f.ucking around with people who aren’t worth your time because that means you’re not focusing on the people who are. You’re doing yourself a terrible injustice by letting someone who isn’t worth a damn dictate your feelings.

Sometimes there is such beauty in awkwardness. There’s love and emotion trying to express itself, but at the time, it just ends up being awkward.

Do not be frightened
of the sad, dark spots
in your life; if it never
rained, nothing would
ever grow.

Drabble #79 – its skin of gristle (this isolate)
It’s a strange kind of reverence that comes with downing the night’s heartbreaks in the eve of winter. The air cold and dry, I watch you pack your luggage as I unzip mine. Bite my lip, act like the silence isn’t choking me. Your suitcase with the broken wheel drags by your side, like a dead body, heavy with memories and life lost. I toss in a piece of my heart just before the click of the lock. Do you know what it’s like, feeling like an echo? You were always the type who had a lot to say and no one ever knew what was going to come out of your mouth next. Today, you didn’t say a word, and I’m astonished by how thoroughly we have broken each other.

Please leave format credit to 1986!
people will come and go from your life. all good things must come to an end eventually. you cannot let these mere facts of life completely control your happiness. you must not depend on these things to feel whole, you must find wholeness in yourself.

It's a cry that echos through the years
The pain etched on each generation
I've been told it's history, that I am
A hundred and fifty years too late
To try and feel some type of way
But the hole in my heart
wont seal up
It hurts to know
that I've lost so
much of My family
My culture
My language
All because someone wanted gold
All because they needed land
And plots to call their own
Now they tell me
its okay For a school
to have the mascot
Dress up in the same clothes
as my Teton ancestors
They show the games on the tv
There are crowds of headresses
And dozens of faces cover in paint
Their "war cries" echo through the stadium
Where they pass a ball from one end to the other
And during half time
you can watch the redman
Run and hop and holler
Impersonating a warrior in his prime
Its sad that these people
see no wrong in these acts
"Its a tradition!" they claim
"Something thats been done for ages"
Cue the bitter laughter
Its a point thats proven true
Just grab an American history book
And flip to the beginning
There will be hundreds of tales
About the fight against these brown native men
And even after the war was won
They continue to earse the brown from his skin
They locked the people on strips of land
And took the children to boarding schools
Where they where told
How to dress
How to speak
And even how to live
They took their names
They took their homes
They even took their words
And all the while the Caucasian man was chanting
"Kill the indian, save the man"
