#a short poem(?) about my life

[gracebriarwoodwrites]

I write fragile on a dozen boxes salvaged from recycling I forgot to take out before I knew I was moving and my hand shakes even more each time. The lines bleed off the box corners and into me. I'm fragile, you see.

I will never get used to How gently you treat me. As if I were fragile as glass, My existence lacking solidity.

When you love somebody, you don’t get to pick their flaws. 

You have to embrace the whole of them—the good and the bad.

Everybody has flaws. The love you feel for that person's light has to be strong enough to withstand their darkness, because everyone has a shadow. Loving someone means accepting that their darker aspects might touch you too, and while those flaws don’t necessarily define who they are, they don’t stop existing either. 

Love isn’t about perfection; it’s about understanding and navigating the hard stuff together.

It’s about loving despite the bad because good will overcome it.

i don’t desire mediocre love. i want a love that is so deep, i want someone to drown in me.

I dreamed a dream. It was a dream within a dream within a dream. It was a dream about being somewhere else, having skin different from the one I was brought in to this earth.

The dream went further. I had became someone else and then I forgot that person forever. The dream continued. I actually got to leave. I left and everyday tried to wake up from that dream I was living and others would kill to actually live through. The dream went on. I ended up in the same place where it started but I can’t wake up.

It’s a dream that I am living and I don’t know how to make it real again.

Leafless

I grit

my crooked teeth

watching from two

green windows

at forever-winter

leafless

gutter-thing

rat feast

I have fallen

once more

by me

[herheartdisplayed]

I was always nothing

Too fat, too flat

Makeup not well-kept

An insecure mess with a smile

But to them I seemed steady

I only shake from the inside

So they continued to tell me how they felt

Now I track what I eat

I spend more time getting ready

But still I’m occasionally rocked

An insecure mess with a smile

They tell me I’m pretty

But in the end at what cost?

toothpaste

i sometimes brush my teeth so hard there’s blood when i spit

i still think there’s a “right way” to do things in life

but i still end up drawing blood

red mixed with cloudy white

an imperfection in cleanliness

[alchemizingdreams]

hills filled with fog as

leaves, autumnually crisped,

drift lazily; cutting their way

through and

landing in morning dew

Nostalgia & Rainbow Rocks

-

You can revisit the same paths

Yet the stones don't look the same;

The birds don't sing the same.

There is a storm looming overhead,

Where sunshine once was-

And as the sky opens up and kisses your skin with a few cool drops,

You carry the reminder that though you have walked these stone steps,

Time is not a merciful suitor.

And she lingered here after you.

What a bittersweet taste of fleeting light,

The hope on the horizon before it fell to earth.

I wonder, oftentimes,

If our laughter can be heard somewhere else in the universe.

As for now,

I hear the sprinkling of rain-

And other memories being made.

Somewhere, far off in the distance..

Even the most tame of dogs are

threatened

manipulated

tortured

abused

neglected

and whether they like it or not....

Those "tame dogs" WILL go back to their wild roots

We met waiting for the train. And when it went astray, You asked if I'd seen it pass. I said I thought it was delayed.

Apparently that's all it took, To strike up a conversation. The world seems less lonely. What luck, I was at the station.

Thinking about how most of the time when you have the option to stay quiet during a companion quest you get approval for letting them handle it and sometimes even get disaproval for talking over them

And then with Shadowheart's quest speaking up with Viconia not only gives a +5(while *keep silent* gives nothing) but also if you don't do that she will look genuinely scared when Viconia asks you to hand her over

i will make you villainous;

the same way i will make you a saint
