You're not ready for approval from the world if you are seeking said approval... its important to be at peace with disapproval.

[salemwitch95]

Curses are blessings you cannot control

Blessings are curses you've learned to console

[salemwitch95]

O, devilish sprite:

Welcome to the den

Where lions become men

And mice perish into dust

Welcome to the hole

Where the meek lose their soul;

Sharpen your bloodlust

You who cut the tether

You are among brethren

Fighting together

When the doors close to heaven

Fear not

Fright not

Fret not

Come feast in the company of giants

...

"Inauguration" by Salem Eirny

[salemwitch95]

They take away our voices

They blind us from the truth

They eliminate our choices

They devour our youth

I have no mouth and I must scream

I have no eyes and I must cry

I have no heart and I must hurt

I have no idea and I must know why

Erasure of our stories is the playbook of oppression

Every strike to human rights concedes it's own concession

You can never silence agony; can't hide from information

Compassion and community will be the world's salvation

...

"I Have No Mouth" by Salem Eirny

[salemwitch95]

Satan would hate you

There's no debate; you're too little too late

The father of lies sees through your disguise

You're just another a snake in the grass

Claiming kinship with the Devil when you finish last; excuses amassed.

He has always known you're a false idol at best

You snuck in alone to sit on his throne

When your soul wasn't even a guest

Hades would detest you

If Persephone confessed to how you treated her in the spring

A true king doesn't deign to own the queen

You know her title but do you care what it means?

Cerberus smelled your deception before you entered the room

Kore, normally merciful, will make an exception for you

May your soul be damned to the shore of the Styx;

Charon too wise to fall for your tricks.

Lilith would kill if she knew you existed

Your heart is acursed, corrosive and twisted

Hell would be mercy for the acts you've committed

No torture enough for your soul acquitted

The primordial she-demon would be remiss

Not to damn your soul to an empty abyss

Let no other body befall such an ill

As your craven soul and your reckless will

...

"Satan Would Hate You" by Salem Eirny

[salemwitch95]

My bones were never broken

But I'll never be the same

Feels like you cut me open

Every time I hear your name

Your touch was always gentle

You kissed me like you meant it

But it was incidental

To the problems you invented

To excuse your immaturity

It's easier by far to see a scar

Than a victim of insecurity

I wish my bones were broken

I wish you'd left a bruise

I wish you'd kicked me out your door

And stolen my shoes

I wish I hadn't heard "forever" in every loving sigh

I wish you would call to tell me that it was all a lie

I wish you'd never given me a tiny scrap of bliss

So losing you didn't have to hurt like this

...

"My Bones Were Never Broken" by Salem Eirny

[salemwitch95]

They were my flowers:

They belonged to me.

I spent hours on my knees

Planting the seeds.

You saw me sowing

And watched them growing

Picking blossoms for your vases

But never pulling weeds.

The colors were so vibrant

Now dead: overgrown

She was a tyrant and I should have known

You'd forgo our garden to build her a throne

...

"They Were My Flowers" by Salem Eirny

What's worse:

Burning with resentment until I self immolate,

Or losing another soulmate?

The hull is full of holes and the ship is sunk

Can't talk authentically unless you're drunk

A trunk of our memories sinks onto the abyss

Don't think I was ever built for this

Remaining parts of my heart are washing up along the shore

Perhaps subtraction from the self can sum up to something more

My body aches with grief from the cost of the storm

I'll use the pieces I have left to build a new old form.

...

"What's Worse" by Salem Eirny

[salemwitch95]

Who was I without you?

Who Are You in my wake?

Never thought I'd doubt you...

But how much more could I take?

I can't bare your Hesitation

In a hell of your own creation

From lovers to Strangers

My mind is in danger

From your absence tangled with flirtation

Never tried to harm you

Offered you my Guiding Light

My efforts to Disarm You

Ended with me shot on sight

You had me, held me,

Then you Tore me Apart

All I have left is the pain and the art

I'm Not Dead Yet, but I'm Quitting You

Thought I was Yours Forever

But this isn't what lovers do...

Life Was Easier When I Only Cared About Me

No more simple Saturdays with Chamomile Tea

You'd do anything to fix us... except for Talk To Me

...

"Ghost" by Salem Eirny

[salemwitch95]

Foggy breaths and clouded minds,

Take a pull and close your eyes,

Take my head and make it dead

Vex the vultures, fool the flies

Fill my lungs til my body's cold

Sell myself for some liquid gold

Remove the logic, keep the sense

Am I alone? My muscles tense

Meaning dissolves in front of me

Do I seek peace or recompense?

Am I in prison or am I free?

I'm just paranoid, or so I'm told,

Buried in clouds of liquid gold

...

"Liquid Gold" by Salem Eirny

[salemwitch95]

I learned the word "nostalgia" when I was somewhere in my teens

I still don't think I understand what it really means

I don't miss the old days; they weren't good to me

I've tried healing from my traumas with self care and therapy

Still every day I live in fear of a pain I've felt before

Thank the gods that I'm not in the old days anymore

...

"Nostalgia" by Salem Eirny

[salemwitch95]

I must resign myself to all the opportunities I've missed, however, it's impossible to miss every opportunity.

[salemwitch95]

"Genius" looks a little different on everyone; it's a thorough understanding and optimization of intellectual ability and skill, reflected by the genetics of the individual.

[salemwitch95]

My abusers were upset that I did not put on the personality they picked out for me.

[salemwitch95]

When you see labradorite

Do you think of me?

Is my art still on your wall?

When you add grass to your terrain

Do you think of me at all?

When you hear our song,

Do you fall to your knees?

Or is that just me?

Do you still have that pair

Of my underwear?

Do you still keep it in that pocket?

When you touch it, do you think of me?

...

Just because a business is advertising how aware they are of a problem does not mean they are actually making efforts to solve it.
