Many Tales...Many Times:

Pooled from the Ancient Voices of Women.

Tied and Interlaced.

Graced.

Fake.

Demons!

They Shouted.

They Prayed.

Exorcism.

Burned in Pain.

To Those with Resentment-

Not Caring How it was Made.

So, We lie...

Hide.

Lay and Rest.

In the Making of the Bed....

In the Ground inside a Grave.

We Saw...

We Prayed.

"Please..."?

"No More-"

Punned and Outwited.

False Claims.

False Days.

Tears Show....

Gave them Paint.

Colors.

Beautiful Art-

From Horrific Tragedies.

That's all -

They Know.

That is all -

History Shows.

Many Tales, Many Times.

Till the Voices and Words are Over-Climbed.

But Even Then...

Many Tales, Many Times.

The Evolution

A childhood so damned it forced me to evolve.

I am the evolution of that frightened child —

from misunderstood to incomprehensible.

Such is the course of my life.

So let me acknowledge,

let me be proud,

of all of the locks

I managed to get around.

Now I’m finally safe,

it feels like a dream,

and I keep dreaming bigger,

because I am a machine.

i wake up with things to tell you. i fall asleep wondering what you’re doing, if you’re alright, if you’ve eaten, if you’re getting enough sleep. during the day i think about asking you to tell me your biggest regret, the dreams you left behind, the people you still wonder about. i never got to ask you if i am one of them.

Be careful who you trust, salt and sugar look the same

I hate how I can create amazing scenarios in my mind but I can't write a paragraph

what a cruel joke it is, to love..

to. love.

[callherwylder]

Grace is a soft river,

smoothing the stones we throw,

patient against the weight of anger,

leaving only foot steps behind.

[lostandunlovedd]

we went through all of that just to be strangers again?

I just wanted to let you know that I can make your eyes roll back. Not in bed. I‘m just really good at annoying.

“my love for him eclipsed all rational thought.”

Unconditional love isn't a free pass to hurt me.
