ONE DAY I’LL KNOW

Empty bottles under my bed

Listening to the lies in my head

That tell me I need more

It’s 3pm, I wake up passed out on someone’s floor

Existing feels like a drag, my eyes are bloodshot and they sag

I reach for the miniature ziploc bag

Breathing in more debauchery

I traded my morals for flattery

Hungry for attention

I look to strangers for affection

They happily return it for my penance

As I interlock with their essence

For eternity and beyond

We form an inseparable bond

That exists only within me

My body is all that they see

And the only thing I’ll let them into

My heart is impossible to get to

To the point that I myself have lost it

My character is incomplete and split

Between a version of me that cares,

One that impersonates, and one that scares

Even me, myself, and I

Every time I look myself in the eye

I see empty hollows

And hear a voice that follows

Whispering in my ear, “everyone you love has left you, the ones that remain only do so because they pity you, but they stay far away because they don’t want to deal with you.”

I recognize the voice that speaks as my conscience, which I’ve been ignoring

Likely because I find my life utterly boring

And I’m feeling crazy because I just want to talk to you

But you haven’t replied and I don’t know what to do

So I wait for my phone to ring all day

Praying to God that maybe you’ll stay

Or if you don’t, at least you’ll give me a good reason

One that isn’t wrapped in lies and drizzled with treason

But honestly, I wouldn’t blame you

Everybody leaves, this is the only thing I know to be true

All my friends have disowned me

Moved on, met new people, made better memories

I listen as they tell their stories

And I’m always the odd one out

Consumed with regret and doubt

That maybe if I could stay sober things would be different

Maybe if I could control myself I’d be indifferent

Maybe if I wasn’t such a liar my family would trust me

But after last year they tip-toe around me

After my days being hospitalized

And weeks spent institutionalized

My sister confided to me that she thinks I’m a little insane

All anyone can do is wait for my next hurricane

Where I’ll drown in my own rage

Where my vanity will take center stage

And I’ll end up in rehab again

Addicted to prescriptions again

The longest I’ve managed is 75 days clean

But I am a machine that thrives on gasoline,

long trips, and bong rips

I love it when my mind slips

From this plane into the eternal

Where I see everything external

Outside of my bones

I witness the dancing of the stones

And the singing of the colors

The world, a collision of a million watercolors

Pulsing and breathing in a way that is unseen to the controlled mind

Undiscovered to eyes that are blind

That’s why I refuse to be restrained

My soul will not be contained

Inside this human cage

I have come of age

Or so I thought while I had acid coursing through my blood

Destroying barriers like a flood

But now I’m back to a limited sensibility

Recounting the ways I’ve been a liability

To myself, my friends and family

A pestering voice reminds me, I’ll do it again happily

For I change far more swiftly than I can even comprehend

That’s why I’ve reached a dead end

I can’t decide on the person I want to be

Who I am on the inside is so much different than the person that you see

I began building on sand, forsook my foundation

I’m still trying to understand moderation

And oftentimes I choose wrong

I’ve been on this road too long

Maybe it’s time to turn around

Go home, where I’ll be safe, sound

But sparkling bodies keep pulling me in a direction I should not go

One step at a time, something tells me one day I’ll know

What to do, how to behave

How to kick away every substance I crave

How to be someone my parents are proud to have as their daughter

Until then I’ll keep filling my glass with clear liquid that resembles but doesn’t taste like water.

why doesn't this shit get healed? why did it get passed down again? + why does it have so many faces?

I gotta take better pride in breaking these hexes...

I'm breaking through brick walls with my bare fingernails.

me. a 23 year old woman.

beautiful young woman

I am

Whatever Stone Medusa May

Mirrors mirrors, magic clear as Shape in skull or stone Socket cape the fabric smears Of cosmic colors grown Peerers peer not near, as near is Royals urban tout A maiden-legend, beauty tragic Coiled serpent scalp

Who slid in slash in hidden dash Among her gardens nooks With statues rid of lid and lash For terrors widened looks Each in stance with horrors stare Who chanced the roll of bone As all of any rock becomes Who glance in soul of stone A soul made hard through windows caught In time, of each who came to kill What ugly beasts her beauty brought Her soul of heart grew stone in fill By this it was, Medusas eyes Which froze to granite monsters health, Made figures each their hardened eyes When shown Medusas eyes of wealth   That see in others nothing less Than now most that what's seen of self

In mirrors, mirrors clear as fear is Owned in Zeus' cries Reflecting those who trekked to stone When shown Medusas eyes

bold divinity

<< Never understood why they worshipped gods

until I met you and your bold divinity

you caught me staring, I said "sorry"

you laughed and it felt like mercy. >>

MATRIX MACHINE DREAM

Yellow bricks line rocky roads to nowhere.

Windowless rooms are filled with strangers who breathe stale air,

Who swear and dare and overshare forbidden fruits while they labor in vain, each with nothing to lose or gain.

Mistakes made on their own, colorful pills and bankruptcy bills, and beguiling boys that they’ve blown.

Staples and stitches they’ve needed sewn,

Due to regulations, restrictions, and rules outgrown.

Thinking themselves immortal giants towering over mango sunrises

Munching on Molly’s masterpieces and surprises.

Plastic dimensions built with artificial inventions,

Force feed egos and collapse interventions.

Alas, we sit in silence, lulled to sleep by machines

Not comprehending the gravity of what this life means.

Awaking hourly from night terrors,

That forecast misdeeds and foretell of future errors.

Manifesting, making them real.

Sharing with enemies seals the deal that the knife in your back is just the tip of the ice cap

They plan to burn the map before choking you out in their trap.

I do believe tho, if we accept these experiences + do the work- the world would b one helluva place.

I believe there’s more life + more love beyond our lack of acceptance + accountability.

+ I also believe we each have 2 get there ourselves...

Goodt Luck (:(
