She’d once trace sorrow's outlines every thought trailing back to unfinished wounds and half-healed aches. But the earth kept turning, and she finally decided to let herself turn with it.

Now, her laughter greets the dawn— an incantation of wholeness. No longer bound by old illusions, she strides through fields of wildflowers, collecting sunbeams in her open palms, their warmth a testament to the light she carries within.

Where she once hesitated, she now dances barefoot, each step a declaration of arrival. Soft breezes thread through her hair,

whispering promises of abundance

she inhales with every breath.

She feels her heart expand like a butterfly released from its chrysalis, a tapestry of color unfolding where only shadows stood before. In the hush between each heartbeat, she witnesses her own becoming, holy and effortless, like springtime in bloom.

There are no apologies in her gaze. No disclaimers. Only the quiet certainty that she is worthy, and has always been.

Skyward, her face lifts,

greeting the universe

like an old friend,

[niggadiffusion]

"Voltage in My Veins"

This that thump in the chest,

that crackle in the air

when the ink starts spillin'

and new worlds claw they way outta me.

Hands twitchin', mind racin',

ain't slept in days

but who needs rest

when you caught up in creation’s grip?

Blood hummin',

pen scratchin',

like the ancestors whisperin' through my fingertips.

These dreams ain't born soft—

they kick, they scream,

they demand space.

So I let 'em flood the page,

raw and reckless,

'til the world gotta feel what I felt.

SILENCE :-

The Silence after remembering how different your life was a year ago ,

The Silence after you revisit a place filled with memories but none of the people are there anymore ,

The Silence after finding out something you weren't supposed to ,

The Silence after remembering what you could say but you didn't ,

The Silence after making a wrong decision ,

The Silence after being submerged in water and everyone keeps asking if I need any help ,

&

The Silence after you realise can't they see , I can't speak underwater , I can't even breathe .

The Silence after being right with your gut feeling ,

The Silence after you realise how fast the night changes ,

The Silence after you experienced the Intense feeling or absence of it is not sure which is worse ,

The Silence after seeing a person in public you no longer have contact with ,

The Silence after one year ago today,

The Silence after you say goodbye knowing it's for the last time ,

EVERYTHING FELT IN SILENCE ....

I want to touch everything. May that sun kiss my palms and burn my back? The cosmos is a divide to my never-ending hunger, now. I do not hunger for food, no, I hunger for soul. May I taste my owl soul? Is it orange, now? Soft like the flame, that burns inside me. Eating me inside out, raging to get to the outside, to wrench the stitches away, to cry to that sun, to those raindrops.

The Emotion Thesaurus (and all the other ones covering bad traits, settings and more)

Not everyone has the money to buy the book, so I'm going to link down here the place where you can buy it, but if you can't, just look up 'Emotion Thesaurus PDF download' on Google and you can download it for free. I recommend searching for it on VK, it comes with all the other Thesaurus(ses?) too. It's really helpful, especially the examples at the beginning and the notes after each section!

"The Run and Go" is an amazing song cuz what if I didn't want you to know I'm struggling what if my pain was too hard to show what if I didn't know how to need people what if you knew and what if I knew you knew and forced you to just watch me fall apart. But what if despite all that I still called you up cuz I murdered someone.
