Literature Text

I don't write about love
and happily ever afters
because misery is my mistress
and pain my paramour.

No starry eyes
plucked from the heavens
to tempt me with
Eden's forbidden fruits and
Eve's forgotten secrets.

There are no mysteries
hidden under your skirt
like ribbon tied gifts
to lure my lust and
douse my mind
in impious flames.

The key to my heart
held in my own hands
like an iron vice
that won't be melted
by your imitation love
only pried, from
my cold, dead fingers.

I don't write about love
and happily ever afters
because I can only poison love
and murder the fairytale ending.

Wait for the end

Did you know that roughly forty percent of all transgender people commit suicide? Living with gender dysphoria is a struggle without a goal. There is no battle, no victory, no parade. When you are all sides of the conflict and the conflict itself, all that's left is suffering. Suffer, cut flesh and sacrifice, pray the wolf does not come this night and the door stays locked. But the part they never tell you, is that you're the one who unlocks the door and you're the one outside, knocking. Take a piece away each day, one at a time, one every time and wonder at how it never falls apart. Because the incision does not speak, the wounds do not fee

Fairytales

She's writing love poems up her arm in permanent black ink and doodling hearts in her binder. She's spewing out nonsense around him, talking about everything but the things she really wants to say. She's wearing her heart on her sleeve, basically screaming I love you to him every time they talk but his eyes are closed and he's as oblivious as ever. She's seeking his attention but he barely notices her. The attention he gives is short and sweet but feels like lemon juice on her open wounds. She's looking for a band aid, searching and hoping for something to take away the pain but the solution is just out of her reach. Sh

A fairy tale without lies

When I used to think of you, I'd look at that picture of you with that fairy tale smile, The puffiness underneath your eyes, A smoldering feature beneath the longing pain coloring the background of my mind. So my first impression of you was maybe a bit off, As are my denials, Of our heart connection, And that maybe someday I will find you the one to see in love. People talk about all the things in life to go back to. I only think of you to hold on to. And every touch of your love sends warmth in a way, Where I could almost smell a fairy tale without lies.

Momentary Death

Each time our gazes meet my rhythm skips, and with each missed heartbeat my sight's eclipsed. For with each word divine I catch my breath, each time your eyes meet mine: a little death.

How To Be Normal

HOW TO SUCCEED AT BEING A NORMAL TEENAGER: (In 15 easy steps!) 1. The first step in becoming a normal, bland, and spineless individual is very simple. Never think. About anything. Ever. If you have a thought, let it go. Let someone else think for you. Thinking is hard. Let someone else do it. Save your little conformist brain cells for something less difficult. 2. Now let's talk about music. You like unique music? Not anymore! You get to listen to the same generic, repetitive sound that everyone else does. You know, that one beat over and over with the words "Yeah", "baby" and "ooh" being repeated. Lucky you! 3. To be normal, you've gotta

Lovesick Fool

I was not in love Love is for fools I hate the word I haven’t seen you in years And dare I admit, I miss you I’ve downed bottle after bottle, Taken pill after pill, I still can’t sleep I can’t stand waking up Without you here, yet, I still look for you I search everywhere But you are nowhere to be found I think I would rather be dead I never thought you’d leave me alone You still haunt me here I see you everywhere but I can’t ever find you And I don’t know why but I feel like a lovesick fool Without the love

Too Late

The ceiling above, And walls around. The ground below, And nothing more. But it's far too loud. The room sways And sits. In its center lays a figure, A figure nothing more but A shell of one who has lost its view. It screams and thrashes. Aches and cries. Begs and kills. And bleeds out. But nothing happens. It is just there. Alone Lost And forgotten Forgotten by itself. For who knew him, It destroyed With nothing more But passion. Its life tumbled away, And fell six feet under ground In the body of a pretty redheaded, Green-eyed lamb And who has it to blame? No one but itself. Or rather, the body of him. He who cared so much, He car

Strangers

Have you ever wondered What strangers think of you Most of us make judgments Those who don’t are few So many different faces With a million unknown names Each one with a tale to tell Of success, of misfortune, or of shame What separates a stranger From one you truly know You never see the real them Only what they choose to show We could spend our whole life searching For who we want to be I don’t even know who I am How can you say you know me We are strangers to ourselves

Holocaust

Round up the Jews To burn in their masses, Poison them all With the noxious gases. Herd in the flock Like lambs to the slaughter, Spare non their lives Not mother, not daughter. Roll on the production line, Make no waste. Cut hair, take glasses, Process them with haste, Weave cloth from their braids, Melt down all the metal. For an inferior race, We will not settle. ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ Works makes you free. Now they're lining the chambers With Zyklon B. No use anymore, Too old, too weak. But of their deaths We do not speak. For millions were murdered For one simple reason- To Hitler it felt They were comm

Remember -the Holocaust-

There’s blood stained on these empty streets Ghostly footsteps breathe on me This was a place once full of life But now it has drowned in misery The shattered glass of Kristallnacht Like stars in the sky Sparkle in the black streets around me Like tears of a silenced cry I walk along tainted railroad tracks Wondering what horror has swallowed it It leads me to the train of death A train of memories coldheartedly slashed and split The souls’ cries become tears that flow down my cheeks Too many lives have perished here I run from what I cannot understand Pierced by six million haunted fears Six million of my people cas

Love it

I feel your hands in my hair. I feel your breath on my neck. I feel your body pressed so close to mine. I feel your lips on my throat. I feel your hands move to my back and your lips work their way up to mine. I feel you and I love it. I hear you say you love me. I hear you whisper my name. I hear you tell me I'm the only one for you. I hear your breath in my ear. I hear your soft snores as I fall asleep. I hear you and I love it. I see you as I run into your arms. I see your face break through my world of darkness. I see you fight away my fears. I see you wipe away my tears. I see you're in love with me. I see you and I love

Now I Understand (A Poem)

Isn’t it odd? Isn’t it strange? How in an instant Everything can change? One day I’m not here, The next I am, And I’m reaching out, For your hand. I’m just a child. I’m alive and free. I’m everything, I want to be. You smile down at me, And I smile up, And I feel like, This is enough. And though we may walk, Across miles of land, I will never let go, Of your big hand. Isn’t it odd, though? Isn’t is strange? How, in an instant, Everything can change? I’m growing now, And I’ve let go. I’ve tossed out the picture books, You used to show. Now I’m lost, And I can’t see. I’ve wandered so far, You can’t find me. I’m on my own, But now I’m scared. I’m still young, I’m unprepared. I’m adjusting though, And we talk sometimes. You remind me, Of those old Nursery rhymes. Isn’t it odd? Isn’t it strange? How in an instant, Everything can change? I’ve come back now, But I’m losing you, And I pray, It isn’t true. Because now I understand, Now I see, Everything, You were to me. My teacher,

I wonder if my writing is depressing enough to warrant a mental health warning yet?

I really need to try writing something... happy?... maybe just something a bit... brighter...
