Did he who made the Lamb make thee? - this is heavily referencing Jacques Fabien Gautier d'Agoty's "Anatomical Angel" illustration, it's also inspired by William Blake's art, specifically "The Great Red Dragon" and his poem "The Tyger"

"I once bought a train ticket for myself, and was on a trip that I completely funded. I realized that I can support myself, and I don't have to answer or please anybody else. I work hard, so I can live the way I want."

Sekhmet: A Kiddie's(?) Prayer

Lady of Red, daughter of Ra.

My thanks to you for my good health.

You held my hand as I put one foot after the other when I was ill.

You gave steady hands & good counsels on the ones who heal me.

You watched my back especially when I was unaware.

You defeated the terror & the evil I could not slay on my own. You pierced them with seven arrows.

You offered me respite when the climb is hard.

You put courage in my heart.

You put joy & merriment there too.

You defended me when I was vulnerable & scared.

(You taught me to do the same too, to those who need it.)

You reminded me to do the right thing when it was easy not to.

Please accept my Love. Please accept my awe & my admiration for you.

Please accept my gratitude for you!

May You continue to be my friend.

May You continue to look after the world, especially the ill & the scared.

May I make You proud.

(May You love me as I love You!)

Expressing your anger (Writing 101 with an old soul #5)

Hi lovelies and welcome for a new lesson on writing with me, Bay~ ♡ Hope you are all doing good!

So today's lesson is going to be about:

┌─── ∘°❉°∘ ───┐

Self-expression (anger version)

└─── °∘❉∘° ───┘

Today, I decided to express my feelings of anger in the form of a prose poem. But how should I start? Where do I find brilliant ideas, striking symbolisms and metaphors?

My answer is and will always be: you don't need strokes of genius to write a poem. If you hope to make your writings acutely yours, you have to use your own ideas, work from your own inspiration and imagination.

Of course, you are allowed to get some inspiration from other writers and poets—I am not saying that you cannot, but trust me, you don't want to get accused of plagiarism.

Let's get back to my poem. I am going to list the words that come to mind and try to see if they are relevant or not.

Dark blue (inspired by the series 13 Reasons Why) ➜ a shade of nail polish used by the fans of the series to raise suicide awareness

Blood droplets ➜ physical injuries, s*lf-harm

Scars ➜ physical violence, s*lf-harm

Raising your tone / getting loud ➜ being unable to stay calm

Name-calling / insults ➜ verbal violence, being unable to remain respectful

Blaming / finding faults ➜ criticising & pointing fingers

Inappropriate remarks ➜ unwinding, letting loose

Triggers ➜ things that can cause anger, anxiety, etc.

Now that I have this list with interesting ideas, I can start writing my poem.

See you later for the end result!

My anger

My anger is just like a spider bite

It stings, it burns and itches

Sometimes it needs to be treated with an antidote

Sometimes it does not

You know, anger is not something to be ashamed of

At least that's what they say

But I always feel ashamed anyway

So I guess our hands are tied

My anger is colour blue

A dark yet vivid hue

To number the days where I messed up

And spilled from my cup

My anger does not have an even sheen

Blood droplets dripping down my skin

Arrow-shaped scars that will never fade away

I am not proud of them, probably never will be

But they are still parts of me.

I never once pondered anything that isn’t a fun, truthful day in youth.

I never once pondered marriage

I never once pondered kids

We all know I don’t do casual

Delayed puberty

Everything is boring

"The most difficult moments of your life will be the catalysts of your becoming. The challenges will grow you into someone you never imagined you could be... You will be grateful things didn't turn out the way you wanted. You will be grateful for what you struggle with once you get to the other side."
