Obsession

I sit here at the bottom of this well

In utter silence

Hoping you will leave long enough for me to escape

But you wait for me at the top

Thinking you're waiting for me to save myself

And come to you

But I'm waiting to be saved

From you

My father soon will throw me a rope

And you will no longer be there

No you will be waiting at another well

And the poor girl hiding at the bottom

I will hear her cries

And I won't be able to save her

For the risk of falling

Not a delightful fall, no

I risk the fall of fear

[tlmanx]

This romanticized life

Is hell on the other side

Who knew denying myself

Would mean I would find

Life

[tlmanx]

An angel told me my worship was pure

A blessing to those around me

When all my worship has come to

A cry for help

[tlmanx]

When you adorn someone in praise without their knowledge.

Whispering Life

Oh the beauty of finding your way in a book store, looking like you woke up that morning. No one cares for the presence of the un-put and you lose yourself in the pages.

Feminism in a heart of gold

A gentle spirit I swear to hold

Thriving in my differences

Oh to be a woman

Society doesn't get to dictate

What must be deemed my feminine traits

Nor masculinity for strength

For all are to be different

Men are not less

Nor women left in the dust

Equal in our differences

In our uniqueness we are blessed

For why would I say

"Everything a man can do, I can."

When everything a woman can

Is power on our own

Thriving in our differences

A firm spirit I swear to hold

Feminism in a heart of gold

Oh to be a woman!

When flames bloom in the darkest hearts

Flowers ignite in the eyes of heaven

Stars float on springs of angels wings

And clouds shine on new days dawn

The world is all as it should be

Yet a new life saved from an eternal bond

[tlmanx]

A spark was lit

And turned into a flame

A grin plastered to a canvas

Full of the array

Smothered in a pinch

Heart chipped on beat

Poison seeped in

And out with the heat

I wait for the mirror to fog up

Until I shed my outer layer

So I can’t see what I’ve become

In the blindness of my mind

Destiny is waving

And yet I hide the light

In the midst of the darkening skies

Ships will crash on the banks of my shore

The waters will drag their souls out to sea

To the depths of the deepest graveyard

Of forget me not

No light?

No sight

No need for shame

But what is the price to pay

When the light could have saved a life lost

In depths of the insane?

A lighthouse of torturing silence…

[tlmanx]

I’ve begun to hate

What I once loved

Self-control or death

Distance or farther

My heart plummets

Deeper into the dark

I’d like to just stare

Let me have the serotonin

That you will never know

You make it look so easy

So I wonder

While I’m dancing in the clouds

How you seem so grounded

When I’m loosing gravity

How you hold like the roots of a tree

Your branches wrapped around my ankle

My fingers reaching for the clouds

You keep me sane

Oh don’t ever let go

I won’t have a way

Back to you

   Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, The Hague, 21 July 1882

[text ID: Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.]

[tlmanx]

For myself, I’d give the world

For no one else can love

For no one else can cherish

Myself more than I

They say I’ve changed

But they’ll never explain what they mean

For I have chosen to love myself

Beyond their menial highs

My own life’s sun rise

[tlmanx]

Five minutes earlier

Five minutes later

Could’ve been all but

A pleasant ride home

Stuck next to you

Made a bad day better

Finally I felt safe

Weaved Dreams

Yearning to possess the night with palms opened wide

Navy blue seams stitched from spools of pearly dreams

Stamped with strewn patterns of cosmic fabrications

The reality of living is awakening me from my sleep

Hallucination fades away, as I lose grasp of a star

Yet I’m caught in the headlights of the sky

My eyes flutter in awe and in desperation

Til they stop in the midst of the open air

And I’m left there in the silence

The dew suspended on a rain drops river

The sky’s breath whipping around me

Yet I’m caught in the headlights of the sky
