🌈✍️ i have nothing if I’ve no one to share it with. I want to live to think and suffer. Honesty is not a marketable skill.

Amid his field
Of conquest lay
many feathers
Chewed and spat.
Along with mice,
Shredded and split
By raucous claw.
Sitting so proud
This Lion, my Shrimps,
Meows:
”Look upon my works ye plush toys and despair!”
”Oh Mister Shrimps”
I say, “youre such
A needful Shrimps“

@jbeanhockey Thank you so much🙏

I walked on glass
this morning
Up to the

Mirror.

I said
“I want to love you”
To my paunch
And skinny sinewed
Arms

“You fat-“

The color of patience,
Ran in cream tears

Moisturizer
Sloughed off
My cracked cheeks

My eyes,so tired
Of waiting to live,
Wanting to love

Embrace your nerve
Embrace your fear-
That shaking child
You cover up
Into welcome:
“Here is my pen,
I’ll hold your hand
My little fear.
Tell me what is
Your deepest hurt
So we can heal,”
Out come the words
You feared speaking:
Acceptance, love
“I’m free to love
Myself.”

@walton_rya41390 @BlackVillain666 Yea well Christianity doesn’t usually lead to oppression and marginalization. Instead it causes it

"I am now old" says
The rose "I weep
For youth long lost.
I am a dress
Of scarlet melodies
Unpeeling round
Pure loss.
My nakedness,
My bleeding's song:
A scent that whispers
Of love long gone.
My petals peel,
peel to blood
Clot. They become
A new flower:
My Broken heart."#vss36

Depression

Defying simple
Joys. Too tired
To lift my head,
Guilty smells
Of laundry mess
Speak to me
My dysfunction.
Do I cry
Or run a wash?
Picking up
The spoiled socks
Means Acknowledgment.
Means Accepting
The mess I made
Means I’ll ask again
What’s wrong with me

Who hears fireworks above the intercoms,
Which blare their supercilious dead anthems?

Who fought for freedom, which you wish away
For cheaper gasoline and eggs and beer?

The dead are marching back with protest signs.
Please, stand with them
Until we all are free.

I can’t appraise
This bird that sings,
In Jasmine Bushes
Just behind me.
She sings two notes
That say, her whole life.
She hits me like
A ray of sun from
Her world thats
Just behind me.
Among the flowers
Inviting me
To live, to drop
My pen and leap
To her bright song.

Not even gods
Can apprehend
The secret names
Of cats. Succumbing
On sight to cuteness
Of softest bellies
And button faces.
They goo and gaw
All stupid,stroking
Each kittys fur
With hands of sun
While Kitty purrs
Contentedly
With fluff all shiny,
Orange with glory.
