As pessoas gostam de você enquanto você ama elas mais que a você mesmo.

[moonlit-fragment]

"Quiet Corners" I once tried filling rooms. Laughter following behind me like swirls of a familiar perfume— easy, bright, performative. Now I choose corners. Not out of fear, but because silence is softer than applause. People say, “You’ve changed.” As if staying the same was ever an option. I nod. Smile. The kind of smile that doesn’t reach the eyes, just barely scratches the surface. Just enough. I wonder if they notice the cracks or if I’ve learned to paint over them too well. Because lately, even joy feels like effort. And peace? Peace feels like a room with no one asking anything from me.

Day 308 2023

This weekend is rough on the nervous system with the biker rally in town so I’m hiding in my bedroom after work. Snuggles would be nice but as usual he’s off doing something else.

Day 309 2024

Just being realistic. Not everything turns out okay for everyone. Remember that when you’re listening to someone going through hard times.

slowly the world wiped itself from my lover

until the echoes of her laugh didn't haunt the corners of my mind anymore

and my sheets started to clear themselves from her scent.

until the only way i could find deliverance was by clinging onto whatever memory of hers i could still find

until i could only but weep in the hollowness her love has left me.

till my drunken lips could not muster the sound of her name

or the way she sounded mine so beautifully

my heart's knuckles white,

it held.

for truer happiness, it hasn't yet known.

I fell for you like the driving rain from a hurricane. But the storm has passed now. And I am still standing..ready for the next one to come along.

[soundedseas]

A Rush Of Defeat

My heart beats like a train slightly missing the rail thats its clinging to, bumping on and then off of it, slightly correcting itself the second time, but none the less thumping up and then down, and im lost, a lost cause through all of this. It became heavy with the heat of life, realising that this life makes my heart heavy.

The snow came early, subtle then hard. The rain washed and melted away my blues leaving only scars that even i cant seem to claim.

Quick rushes of defeat, then came the doctor, release my suffering. Why do I worry? Why is this amounting to constant bouts of stress? Your success will end with you, so work hard enough for it to continue through.

But what if i can’t, what happens then. Hopefully the world within my piece of light will one day errupt into something magical and become beautiful, i will become something full of hope and inspire myself to be better.

So that i can guide a way, even maybe for myself, a path to a place where worrying seems tiresome and not a mandatory fragment of a life that i use to lead.

So calm yourself, make some tea, love yourself, make some art.

Delirium

As I sit with heavy eyes

I have many questions,

Most of them tend to be why’s

Should I seek suggestions?

Can’t pinpoint the driving force

That brought this conclusion,

No point beating a dead horse.

Peer through the illusion

Stuck in deep cogitation.

Is this the easy route?

Strenuous meditation,

With internal dispute.

It seems to me I remain

Outright oblivious

Do I tend to cause such pain?

Am I delirious?...

I was so full of sadness that the only way for me to celebrate happiness was to be sad about it.

I sat in my room, day in and day out. Blinds drawn and the bath running.

This ultimate sadness is like a cancer growing within me. Even when the tears dried too quickly, the melancholy ran like a river, replacing my blood with atoms of heartache and misery.

Maybe there's a purpose in this emptiness, I would always remind myself.

Maybe, just maybe, my words would hit someone like a train someday. Reminding them that they are not alone.

So I'll write about this feeling until my words come as close as it's able to describe.

I'll write about this feeling until my palms start to bleed.

I'll write about this feeling or anything that comes close to it.

Words cease to capture the true meaning, because words doesn't run deep like the cancer does.

Writing a new song! Part 1

Baby, I’ve had my own problems.

Maybe you just don’t have time to see them.

Maybe I don’t half to be with you, I guess I don’t half to be as cool as you.

Just this one time please give me a break.

It’s takes time to find true love.

If this love was not enough then I guess this is the end of us.

Part 1

For this song

By Shauna Shands!

[igorpeixoto]

Como é bom se sentir desejado, que existe alguém aguardando, ansiosamente a sua chegada, sentir o magnetismo do sentimento, do outro a te esperar. Como é diferente de, um oi xoxo, desbotado, beijos de despedida por obrigação. Já tive isso, hoje tudo que me lembra isso, me da gatilho.

Illumination

I push you away once again

You’re always wanting to help

I cannot stop this constant rain

I sit and silently yelp

I want nothing more than your aid

Please don’t leave at this hour

Should I ever say I’m afraid

Realise you have power

To me you mean a whole lot more

You may not realise yet

All I ask is, don’t slam the door

You truly are an asset

I sit here on the outskirt

Silently I will observe

Wondering why there is such hurt

What do we really deserve?

The peace you bring is uncanny

You push against the reaping

We fight against the tyranny

We keep sane slowly creeping

Through it all we must learn to bend

To us it’s just another day

We will work until it’s the end

Together we will run away

[pclyhymniae]

those eyes. 

they seared and pierced and hurt my soul 

enlightened and revived and overjoyed it. 

all at intervals. 

and i could never tell 

when they would turn their brilliant gaze upon me 

whether i would leave elated 

or broken beyond return

[nthrot]

Not everything about her was translated in such a way that beauty was reflected.

And that was okay.

It was within the darkest corners of her mind that I found the light.

And with the way she thought, mesmerized me completely.
