"If you ever want to know how it feels to be saved,

Just let someone save you.

Let someone rescue the smile drowning inside you,

It's not too late, I swear."

And when that kid in you falls, turn around, pick them up, dust them off, then continue. Trust me, you are gonna need that kid. You are gonna need someone to remind you that every weed is a flower, just trying to make shit work, that every jerk you ever encounter is just another someone who somehow forgot that it's okay to need a hug. It's okay to be afraid.

“Tomorrow, I want to bring you a piece of paper with the telephone number of a taxi cab company that knows the exact address of my arms, so the day you need a hug I’m going to be there for that.”

The poet that made me.

"But I wanna tell them

That all of this

Is just debris

Leftover when we finally decide to smash all the things we thought

We used to be

And if you can't see anything beautiful about yourself

Get a better mirror

Look a little closer

Stare a little longer

Because there's something inside you

That made you keep trying

Despite everyone who told you to quit

You built a cast around your broken heart

And signed it yourself

You signed it

"They were wrong"

Because maybe you didn't belong to a group or a clique

Maybe they decided to pick you last for basketball or everything

Maybe you used to bring bruises and broken teeth

To show and tell but never told

Because how can you hold your ground

If everyone around you wants to bury you beneath it

You have to believe that they were wrong

They have to be wrong"

- "To this Day" by Shane Koyczan

i would like to propose a new leah headcanon (using the knowledge that she likes both writing/poetry and music/musicians*coughfatincough*) and say that she definitely had a spoken word poetry phase

specifically for shane koyczan and his work with the short story long, hannah epperson, and dan mangan

#she totally heard 'to this day' for the first time at the age of 10 and cried for like an hour but had no real clue why #don't mind me just having thoughts about my fictional blorbos again 🥲 #the wilds #leah rilke #shane koyczan #for my tags #in which i have to insert one of my old niche hyperfixations into my most recent brainrot so i don't kms #(for legal reasons that last part was a joke #i'm still in my depression era about the cancellation and i'm using humour to cope lol) #as a sidenote this has put a really great au idea into my head #leah as a spoken word poet and fatin as the cello player who accompanies her #and the music makes the poetry more powerful #i hope someone who's actually talented with writing sees this and takes inspo #no one wants ME to write that idea... just trust me on that #( #leatin #so i can find this post again if i'm super bored and have really bad leatin brainrot again) #also! there i was rewatching old shane koyczan poems on youtube and who shows up on the reccommended videos? #none other than ben fucking folds lmao #my tags once again being longer than the actual post and no one is even a little bit surprised 💀 #well who even cares? i wrote this post for me :D

“Maybe the best we can hope for is that those we leave behind find comfort in knowing, that we’re born out of love, and not science — That biology explains the how, but love explains the why.”

[belladonnix]

You're a philosopher. I am a poet. The way in which we both love is beautiful and without apology. When you tangle your legs in mine laying next to me in bed. When you ask me every morning if I want coffee, I hug and kiss you from behind when you make it. I lay on your lap and you tell me about Sartre and Camus and Michel de Montaigne, you kiss my neck softly as I read you the poetry I wrote when I was high or my favourite spoken word pieces from Shane Koyczan. In the morning, when I pretend I'm still asleep, I feel you roll over and gently touch my face and tell me how pretty I look. I can almost hear your heart catch in your throat when you do. Giving me your jackets even though they don't fit me because I'm cold, just draping it over my shoulders and holding me. The way you get a little jealous when we're at a party and I talk to someone for a little too long so you don't get to touch me. Even when we argue, we talk it out and lay there and hold each other for a while because we care about the other so much.

The sun is shining, and like Icarus I find myself flying close to your flame as I melt into your touch. My hubris falls away like feathers as I nestle into your chest and listen to the deep rhythm of your heart. Beating for love. Beating for me.

[anxiety-disaster]

I'm not the only kid who grew up this way.

Surrounded by people who used to say that rhyme about sticks and stones, as if broken bones hurts more than the names we got called and we got called them all.

So we grew up believing no one would ever fall in love with us. That we'd be lonely forever. That we'd never meet someone to make us feel like the sun was something they built for us in their tool shed.

So broken heart strings bled the blues, as we tried to empty ourselves so we would feel nothing.

Don't tell me that hurts less than a broken bone.
