the bully

a table of four, which i sat alone upon the stove, a blazing fire burning, burning, burning, just like my own and the flames turns into rivers i was back at my school you were a force that never wavers like a leaf and the wind i swayed and obeyed what was in your mind when you make me so small, i want to disappear but i couldn't, the pain i have for years was it your neglectful mother? or your absent father were you ever lonely loving the parents that never loved you back? i was, but a child yet my parents let it happen to me, their daughter, who was just five for a decade, i neglect the fear you gave like your parents neglect you, their daughter, who was just five

-i forgive you

The people that are meant to stay in your life will see you change over the years and understand it for what it is: growth. You don’t have to explain your reasons, you don’t have to apologise - they will understand and hold your hand on the darker days without questioning what you’re doing or why you’re doing it.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

How is one meant to make sense of all that obsolete suffering? How is one meant to feel anything other than victimised and abused, when the ‘rules’ that entailed so much personal pain turn out not to have been rules after all?

Rachel Cusk, from Coventry: “Edith Wharton: The Age of Innocence” (via intopermanence)

Falling in love with a house or a car or a pair of shoes, it was a dead end. You save your love for the things that can love you back.

Today while talking about fascists in the 1930s my English professor said that they “wanted to go back to the way ‘it was’ which of course it was never” I just found that very interesting and relevant in today’s society as well.

As long as I have questions and no answers I’ll keep on writing.

It’s pathetic how we can’t live with the things we can’t understand. How we need everything labeled and explained and deconstructed.

GOTHIC   LITERATURE  

bold what applies.      italicize what sometimes applies.      repost don’t reblog.

*this applies to my work in progress, but could apply to rp blogs or any other writing really*

i.   DRACULA.   cold to the touch. flickering candles. cold breath upon your neck. billowing white gowns. midnight strolls. pearl trimmed bands. indulging in your deepest desires. the fall from grace. the fear of outsiders. bloodstained sheets. dark imaginations. something lurking in the shadows. the urge to run away. glowing eyes in the darkness. the scent of garlic.   preying on the weak. the power to both bring and take life.

ii.    THE   PICTURE   OF   DORIAN  GRAY.   old bookshelves. kisses on the hand . a devotion to the finer things in life. prizing youth and beauty above all. paying the ultimate price. the pursuit of pleasure. blood red sins painted over in white snow. a drug-induced stupor. breaking the heart of the one you love. losing what’s left of your humanity.  

iii.   FRANKENSTEIN.  frantic sketches. the stench of something rotten. unorthodox beliefs. a scream from the woods. candles burning out. dangerous knowledge. contemplating existence. the crunch of leaves. the chill of winter in your bones. dark ambitions. prometheus reborn. the contrast between life and death.

iv.   THE   COUNT   OF   MONTE   CRISTO.  false accusations. taking justice into your own hands. divine justice. elaborate schemes.  playing upon others’ weaknesses. the solitude of the ocean. an ever-changing identity. dissatisfaction in your life. an alienation from humanity. escaping from prison.
