Still here. Holding things together with duct tape and spite.

“i’m over here,” i whisper, cold across the frozen lake but you stopped looking for me now the ground is melting growing smaller by the day soon i’ll have no choice but to become the ice or let the water swallow me ❄️ #poetry #writing

perhaps all roads led to here #vss365 #perhaps

shadows in the corner waiting for their time to bloom #micropoetry

moon’s silver grin knows something i do not lie to me pretty, i say i can’t bear the truth tonight ✨🌙 #poetry #writing

#vssdaily #prompt #boundless

pieced myself together from the broken shards of glass some day, you’ll want to hold me again and it will be your turn to bleed #poetry #writing

poems take flight from the tip of her tongue little sparrows #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt

no flinching when I give my truth no hiding when you give yours back only seeing, only seen #vss365 #flinching

if the moon had a voice it would sound like a heart that beats in tune with mine ✨🌙 #poetry #writing

How to be Exhausted Spend years doing the emotional labor at home, at work; be the cook, the maid, the planner, the stability, the reliable, the parent; be the breadwinner, the event organizer, the project manager, the process improver, the developer; be the sex object, be pretty #vss365 #poetry

Tell me the story.. About how the sun loved the moon so much.. That she died every night.. Just to let him breathe... ― Hanako Ishii #sunflower #flower #nature #photography #stilllife

my magic power standing before you, unseen #vss365 #power

It’s not over #vss365 #chance

this is it, i fear the final fall i won’t bounce back from

new moon— this urge to disappear from time to time #DailyHaikuPrompt (new moon) #haiku #mentalhealth

I hate you, I say again and again knowing hate is just love, broken #poetry #writing

When your subconscious sends you dreams of yourself bleeding out, like “YO, lady, I really don’t know how to spell it out any clearer for you.”

if words could heal, i’d still be dying i gave them all to you

keep my palms closed tight you warned lest you slip a spark between my fingers but I like the feel of yours in mine, until it burns so maybe I’m just kindling and you, a boy who plays with matches #poetry #writing

I wrote a poem about you about the mess you made you applauded asked for more and lit the fuse again #poetry #writing

morally gray weaver of webs and whim tiptoeing the line between hero and villain #poetry #writing

I may have leaned dramatic just a bit. 😅 #poetry #writing

you put match to sleeve to hear me sing and call me firestarter #poetry #micropoetry

silver-tongued devil disguised as friend your words are all glitter and lies fooled me once and twice, again and still those stardust eyes draw me back in #poetry #writing

moonlight muse wielder of words and worlds i’ll leave the window open for you if you promise to haunt my dreams #poetry #writing

resentment is malignant growing, spreading twisting into something you might not come back from #vss365 #malignant

somewhere between the fall and the landing you ripped out the cushions and told me I was falling wrong #poetry #writing

There’s no #tincture I can take that will magically cure me or pill to set me free; This is the journey, so painful, I often fantasize of doubling back but there is no going back now #blueskyrelay #poetry

eyes staring waiting always wanting more but I’ve got nothing left to give I am what I am nothing more and all the hope in the world won’t change me believe me— i’ve tried #poetry #writing

sentient shadows even the darkness has eyes the silence grows teeth #vss365 #sentient #haiku

It's hard to heal in a damaged world where butterflies and yellow jackets pour from the same kiss. #poetry

stretched so thin they can’t see me anymore #micropoetry

I have a really hard time making time for art, so I’ve started making tiny paintings. 😂 Feels like less of a time commitment so it’s easier to trick my brain into get started. #watercolor #painting #art #tinypainting

moonbeam, he called me like he could see through the cloud cover to all that lay beyond 🌙 ✨ #micropoetry #poetry

I fear a cage where I become a bird, hopelessly in love with a mirror, with a bone, for a beak, that long ago stopped seeking insects or song, and that finds #mundane newspapers below rather pretty for poop, while not noticing bars & wires suspend me in air, denied flight, but pretending #vss365

cracks in the facade divide and spread, walls crumble as true self shines through #senryu #haiku

The skies are clear but the road ahead is blocked The sun is going down but our worries always seem to multiply The sunset is beautiful but the times are #abject The land is full but the people have nothing left #poetry #vss365 #sun #photography #nigeria

there’s something to the pain that draws us further in it’s the heat before the burn the roses in the thorns I pull back fingers, bloody but I’ll be back again #poetry #writing

ash drifts on still air as man’s greed consumes the earth snowfall, in august #haiku #poetry

fingers around throat squeeze the life out of whatever’s left of us i’ll wait #vss365 #squeeze

phantom wings ache, knowing you were meant for so much more #vss365 #wings

He sings to the stars, hoping one will fall for him, the sky is unmoved. #DailyHaikuPrompt

walking with my demons hand in hand they tell the best jokes, i’m told i don’t often get them but they laugh loudly and often so i’m sure it must be true and say what you will about them but they always have the time for me when others don’t at least it’s never lonely in the dark #vss365 #laugh

busy spiders in the brain spinning webs to trip me up and keep me trapped in this recurring cycle no rest only doubt as mind devours self #vss365 #spider

I haven’t been super active this week, but I’m still around! Hopefully next week my brain will be feeling more creative.

Rough hands on my throat— not his, but something colder hiding in his shape. #HaikuHorrorPrompt - Rough #Poetry #Poem #Haiku #Senryu

I’m not even sure how many I have. But let’s give it a go! 🤷‍♀️
