I've been called a walking contradiction or an introverted extrovert but I just think I'm a crazy normal twenty something living in a confusing time trying to fight the labels and new world order https://www.instagram.com/p/BwCsDowHZIL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11xvpsbwhfsbj

Lost in translation
Words oh words I call upon you now
Guide me through this forage I now know as my thoughts
So many words I see but neither can I express
So easy they used to come just yesterday yet it feel like euons ago
Words oh words such beautiful cruelty you've bestowed upon me
So easily you have deserted me
How lost I feel without your comfort
Jambled is my emotions and soul without you to help me understand
How can I feel if I do not know?
For you took my subconscious along for the ride

Anxiety
Heart beating so fast I can feel it jumping out of my chest
Wish I'd just get a heart attack already and end it
But there's no end to this pain it's bone deep and I can't help but let it
Ever left like you were drowning and falling at the same time well that's nothing to suffering inside me
Don't know what's worse the heaving or the constant fear
Wish my brain would be de-oxygenated already so the thoughts would stop running through my brain I'm de-stressing
But the anxiety has my heart chained in a tight fist and let up
Stomach churning so bad I gotta keep it empty just to get through the pain
Cause stomach cramps are better than dry heaving to a pain unknown to so many its invincible in its invisibility
So you wanna know what's wrong me?
You couldn't handle it
I keep to myself because if I reveal all the crazy and fear within me it'll ruin your soul for life

Words
These words I try to find yet they elude me, how hard it been to find meaning in a world so bleak I wish I knew where to begin but there's no beginning when you begging to be understood. How has this world gotten so far within my skin I cannot describe myself without falling apart? So many words to choose from but neither can do justice so many lost souls and no ancidote yet it all seems pointless because as misunderstood as we are its only our hearts that can save us I wish I knew where to begin and yet I write with the hope that someday I may be able to pick myself up and let it all pass so many words I have thought but none have stuck so I look at all the letters of the alphabet and hope they can guide me solemnly through this bleak moment. But in these words I find solace

Guys, I need your help.
Currently, my boyfriend (as all of you have come to know as “wolfman” in my posts’ tags) has recently lost his house with his mother and her husband. The landlord was an absolute dick, and with unexpected medical leave for his mother and her husband being retired, my love has been forced to provide all of his income to paying for nights in a hotel for the past month straight. Sadly enough, that money has been used up and they are now having no choice but to sleep in their cars. Being able to eat, put gas in their vehicles, and shelter/feed two dogs is proving practically impossible at this point when two of them are out of work, and wolfman cannot leave his own dog alone in the car for 8-10 hours to work a shift at his place of employment. Obviously I would be grateful for him to stay with me until he can get back on his feet, but my own dog dislikes others, and therefore he cannot temporarily room with me.
This situation is incredibly heartbreaking and utterly kills me to see him send me videos of how he’s had to black out his car windows with blankets and towels just to feel remotely comfortable sleeping in a hotel parking lot. He deserves so much more than this.
——
So until further notice, my Etsy shop has a coupon under the name “WOLFMAN30” you can use to receive 30% off all poetry chapbooks and collections of mine, all being eBooks. Every bit of money I make in sales there is going to him so he can have some sort of safety blanket during these trying times.
http://etsy.com/shop/haleywrites
——
In addition, however, any donations would be HAPPILY accepted. My paypal is linked with the email “[email protected]”, and anything that goes there will be going straight into his pocket to help.
——
Please, PLEASE help if you can. Even the smallest amount is going to make a vast difference for him during this chaotic time in his life. He’s been through so fucking much as of late anyway.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please share if you can.

Withering Souls
Trampled down misunderstood but still standing
I used to think that just standing was okay it meant I survived
But how do you survive a war when you run away from a battle?
Caught between the crossroads of being myself and being a better person
Shit gets so bad I have to decide whether I should be a good Christian or a 21st century woman
Misjudged so much I became my worst enemy
I'm always told of all the things I am from others perception it's like being kicked from so many different directions
Don't get me wrong I appreciate some fair critique because I know I'm flawed past imperfection
But I've come to realize the biggest mistake I've made is hold it in when I've been hurt
So many excuses I've given myself to rise above it however one cannot rise above truth
So here I am now lost beyond belief
Keeping my mouth shut instead of telling the painful truth but it's okay because silence is an answer too
Because of you ain't got nothing nice to say it ain't worth the thoughts right?
So how do I know how to express myself when so many chains are holding me back?
Oh mercy upon mercy why the guilt for these wild thoughts running amack in my mind? Lost in this darkness with my guilt ridden heart. When do I flow through nirvana and let these manacles break free? So many paths but none known so I forage through this self made cave on my own. Help me oh universe for peace I seek. Blessed are those who are found but I fear my battered soul no longer has a home all I wish for is that someone carve of this stone I was once into a resemblance of who I strive to be oh how I miss those days of cherished truth and humbling honesty. But to live in the past I cannot pleasure for growth I seek. Forging my way through the darkness as I seek to catch a glimpse of my broken withering soul. Smithereens just passing above me like a tease shattered by despair is my conscience. My withering soul is bound my withering soul I hope to find

Old Buck)>and I'll be around for that adventure>>>even to the campus pools

Untitled reportorial
Sometimes it doesn't take much A drop of the rain A blow of a leaf The chill of the wind The ruffle of your hair The hairs on your nape You know what I mean? It takes you on purpose Consumes you whole Takes away your breath Encompassing your soul Your mind a fog of a wormhole Making you numb It can never be captured It will never be compared It's futile It's a mystery...❤️

Uncertain
do we have to do this all the time
slaying the ghosts only to create new ones?
when did it become a norm?
why do we attain to the unconditioned probabilities
patiently assisting the depths of our pains
making it a theory of our unknown lives
play by the rules unaccustomed
here is where we die
untitled are our true feelings
do we have to do this all the time?
do we have to stay in this parallax
do we have to always wait for the world to crumble?
when we have to just let go?
do we have to do this all the time...
I leave the answer’s in your unspoken heart
do we have to do this all the time?

My world
We live in a world where being someone everybody likes is more important than being yourself
A world where we intentionally hurt people and call it white lies
Where truth and justice never finds a home
A world taken over by corruption and fraud
We live in a world where its okay to turn a blind eye rather than confront our problems
A world where cheating is acceptable because we didn’t DTR
A world filled with frenemies instead of forgiveness
A world where hatred consumes us instead of love
A sad world we live in
Filled we hypocrites yet we say we have a reason to celebrate?
I found my world from all this negativity
My world...
My world is filled with good no great friends
warm loving people
knowledge and education
And so much to be grateful for that i could write a sequel
My world is amazing
Perfection at its best
Where honesty is nothing to be shamed for
Being yourself is what we celebrate
love is eternal
That is my world

Relentless
That moment when you want to cry so badly but no tears come Everything comes to the surface but it all seems like a dream Playing through your mind like a song It all seems so hard yet so futile Where do you even begin? How do you salvage what you can't even begin to explain? I'm lost for words It's relentless Shaking like a leaf, ready to cry but nothing comes to the surface
