My Demise

I look out the window

These bars are getting thicker,

I look at my feet

These chains are getting heavier,

I look above me

This boulder is getting bigger,

I look at my body

And it's getting weaker.

Childhood's Melancholy

Today's another day,

I see you coming

Carrying a fragment of my childhood in your hands,

But things aren't the same

The amount of sadness I feel at that sight

People who used to be, are no longer

And even tho it's just me, you still bring

That sweet but bitter piece,

Someone else cuts a slice of it for me

No longer the same one,

I take a bite for happiness

And got sadness in return.

Thoughts of a Prisoner

Treat me well

And you can tell,

How beautiful it is to see

Someone who is caged to be free,

Give me the wings that I need

So that I can feel,

I don't want to be caged anymore

Because I feel sore,

From your chains

That gives me pain.

Hello everyone! This is the side blog of my main blog @lovingstarfishsandwich where I'll publish my poems and some short drabbles in a separate blog!

If you don't know who I am, my name is Tortle! I go by she/her and English is not my first language, so if you see any grammar error please be nice about it!

I'm 21 years old and I write poems and short (or even long) drabbles! Most of them are sad but I'm currently trying to work on making happier ones!

Anyways that's it I hope y'all enjoy my writing and if there's a poem that needs a trigger warning tag don't hesitate in asking me to tag it as such! Last thing I want is my work to be harmful to others! :)
