Did you ever consider doing Poetry Slam?

Maybe maybe maybe. Ich entertaine gerne, aber ungern auf Bühnen. Vielleicht liegt's an den klassischen body image issues und der Tatsache, dass die Leute die deinen Kram lesen/hören dann nicht mehr so abstrakt sind wie zB hier. Ist irgendwie was anderes in Echtzeit Reaktionen mitzubekommen, anstatt die bis zur totalen Entfremdung verdenglischten Tags von tumblr user arsonist-chicken or sth zu lesen. Nicht, dass ich die nicht wertschätzen würde ofc.

Took so much codeine I had a psychoanalytic insight about the nature of eroticism while processing, answering the phone, and operating the register at the same time. I need to start taking edibles again

"Eppure lui era una di quelle persone che sapeva provare l'amore di tutti i baci di Nuovo Cinema Paradiso e, al contempo, l'amara verità delle lacrime di Totò. Una di quelle persone che in ogni bozza, nelle cose taciute, tra grafite e candore, conservava un po' di sé, un po' di me, un po' di te.

Una di quelle che poi si perdeva nelle storie degli altri solo per vedere se certe cose avevano il coraggio di succedere davvero. Una di quelle persone che spesso fissava il sole fino a voler bruciare gli occhi e ogni loro pensiero; una di quelle che ascoltava la musica perché sapeva che ogni parola scritta, per resistere al tempo, doveva vibrare in armonia sopra un'accordo.

Una di quelle persone capaci di rendersi Primavera tra le mani del Botticelli; una di quelle in grado di ascoltarti con lo stesso silenzio assordante di Roma deserta durante il lockdown, che quasi riuscivi a sentire le voci di tutti i desideri del mondo dentro Fontana di Trevi."

— manuela g.

[loresanhedonia]

Rampant 16 candles in isolation, 

Fire fades onto the empty space. 

I watch my father as he scraps for change,

My mother cries in rage. 

We want out, we want freedom 

We’re prisoners of our own space, 

Unwillingly caged. 

The urge to run, away from your gun

I’d get out of this city

If the microbes weren’t to harm. 

My youth is to fade, 

My body to wrinkle. 

I pray for your demise,

Ending your expansion.

Rules if we go into a second lockdown:

1) continue to gatekeep this app, we dont need any more gross sweaty men or weirdos finding tumblr and bothering us

2) we could take the opportunity to make tons of communitys and just all be friends because wed be bored so why not

3) bring back bullying, some weirdos on here and all social media are just waaaay to comfortable

4) bring back diaries, i unfortunately dont wanna hear about how your coochie is throbbing when you look at dreadheads, though relatable, it would serve us well to bring back secrets

5) bring back blackberry’s we need social media detoxs once in a while because 2020 was literally like insane

6) get fit, we all swore we were gunna glowup during lockdown but the only thing that happened was we lost our social skills

7) bring back discord servers, contraversial a little bit but being in a discord call at like 2am and playing among us was probably the most fun ever, and its just such an easy place to chat

8) lets not do the whole TW on stuff like toilets, which yes, was a real thing people did it on just about anything, not my fault u fell into a toilet at 8 unless u use a fucking litterbox im sure you see that damn toilet anyways

9) bring back anime, not the weird ones where all the girls moan every two seconds, the ones like death note, watching that was the most entertained I had been the whole lockdown

10) regain our attention span, during lockdown I could watch a 10 hour twitch vod on youtube and not even be bothered in the slightest and i need that back

Thats my 10 things if we go into another hypothetical lockdown which probably wont happen but you never know so thought i’d write it out anyways

Clean Enough

Clean Enough holding water in hands that have enough trouble  holding on somedays <> hands washed more & more with the harsh soap of fear what did I touch last who did I touch last who did they touch last when did they last wash their hands <> can we make a quick stop at the sanitizer station you cannot hold the water with those hands   until they have been approved by the…

Hi, This is Unlock-Curiosity with Ms. Curious. 🪄

The following poem is called "Obsession for Freedom".

I would love to hear from all the readers, do comment your thoughts..!

[placestriz]

May I have your attention

“May I have your attention please? May I have your attention”

Bricks are falling and fire engines screaming

“All I ask is a moment of your time, your time”

The walls closing in on the unsuspecting

“An intruder — a fire — an eldritch monster”

Our world is shrinking, disappearing, emergency lights blaring

“has been detected in the building”

There is no building, no walls or floors

Stars went out; the void galore

Deep underground (what ground?) an teen too old sighs

“bunker down and cover” before I close my eyes

A story told before, the kind that takes childhood lies

Here's a #poem about our #Resurrection by #allah and the #devil's role in Allah's great #plan

Here's a collection of my #poetry that I started writing while in #lockdown during the #covid #pandemic. I adapted to being trapped, stuck at home with nothing to do but see how the world is to me while constantly on #socialmedia
