What if we stayed here for one more minute?

One more second?

One more moment to remember this,

before everything changes and we’re not

the people we were ten minutes ago, or five, or even one.

Before everything shifts and we part ways.

Can we just pretend for one last breath,

to hold onto this for all it’s worth.

Get ready, get set, please don’t let go.

Eldritch Horror Being

eldritch horror being in the corners of my eyes

secretly a friend; secretly alive

hear immortal whispers telling you to stay alive

promise to give in; promise to survive

eldritch horror being asks you where you've been

tell it where you were; tell it what you did

eldritch horror being says it just wants you to thrive

promise that you'll live; take the help it gives

romanticize the horrors and romanticize the frights

eldritch horror being says whatever works is right

immortal shadows whisper it's allowed to be just fine

not everything is wrong; not everything is right

eldritch horror being wishes you goodnight

sing a secret song; watch as it takes flight

eldritch horror being doesn't want to say goodbye

but off it has to go; to save another life

girl of the desert

somewhere in the land of the bedouins, away from the skyscrapers and traffic and wars and modernism and traditionalism, deserts lie calm, whispering their secrets into the december wind that blows across.

dunes stand tall and proud like the arabs, a blended sea of gold and red and brown— a hush falls over it. winter wind blows again. clouds like a dark blanket over the sky— lonely girl stands, tall, proud, wide-eyed.

a colored shayla ruffles up her curls— she holds it in place at her chest, scrunched up above her jalabiya— colored like cream, silvery rhinestones peppered along the neckline and sleeve

she walks, her bare feet disturbing the smooth layers of mineral, grains making way for her as she leaves her mark on the sea of sand. the world holds its breath for her, refusing to spill its tears on the lonesome arab girl.

the sun hides from her, nestled in the dunes— it dips lower into the horizon, illuminating the skyscrapers perceptible in the distance. sharp blue buildings tinged with fiery orange— but wait. it stops, and they stare at each other

girl versus sun. blinking their eyes, anticipating— who will back down first? both are stubborn. a cloud passes, sheilding the star from her, and she smiles, triumphant, when it goes down and finally recedes to where she does not see.

a voice calls out. she turns around and she sees five people. three girls, two boys, standing, smiling, next to her parents. she beams at the sight of them, and she digs her henna'ed feet into the ground before she joins her family. the sand slows her down.

rain dances its way down, kissing the ground, painting dots into the surface of the desert sea. the moment freezes, and a snapshot is taken in the desert girl's memory, forever remembering the december wind, rain, and the red-gold sand.

Silent Silver Rain

Why can’t anyone see the rain clouds

With all my raindrops on the school grounds

Even among the thundering crowds

Not a single umbrella can be found

I always tried to avoid the puddles from the rain

But such attempts have always been in vain

Leaving me to shiver from the cold wet pain

I’ll try to find the sun so I won’t complain

Why can no one see the storm clouds in the sky

With all the water works in my eyes

There was only sunless silver skies

But I would say it was sunny sky blue and lie

I now have more sunny sky blue days

After being freed from the high school grays

I can bask in the warmth of the sun's rays

As I have found manies caring gaze

People Suck

People suck

But my mother makes endless bourn vita and leaves it in my sleepy hands

People suck

But my father picks me up when it's dark and we have biryani on the way back

People suck

But my brother checks my essays for me and buys me new things because I have never had any

People suck

But my bobo vibrates with joy when she tells me about her stories and I can't help but smile

People suck

But my angel always nuzzles and slams her hugs into me

People suck

But my janneman asks me how are you at the slightest sign of unease

People suck

But the gremlin sits in my lap and lets me take some of his vast unending calm

People suck

But the bears hug me long and safe whenever I need them to

People suck

But my people

They make it bearable

I just want to scream to the world that you were here.

That you existed too.

That you were ours, and ours alone.

And that we loved you.

Body Focused Repetitive Behavior

my fingers search for imperfections

on the surface of my skin.

complete the scan with such precision;

torn-up shoulders on a whim.

you say "don't listen to you fingers,"

but, well, don't you think I've tried?

if I ever didn't listen

I think the obsession would realize.

it hurts the days just after I have

trimmed my fingernails quite close -

it's so much harder to fulfill

the imaginary quota of blood to expose.

here with my nails cut short, I seethe

when it takes so long to scrape the dry

excess off my bottom lip — say "please"

if you want to deny

the overwhelming urge to always

search for tiny problems;

deny that you subconsciously

tear your skin apart without knowing.

without paying attention, you

are torn right at the seams.

by the power of your own action,

you're out of self-esteem.
