Hey guys, I literally just made two separate posts for this one thing b/c of the
✨ ✨aesthetic ✨ ✨
Hope y’all don’t mind
I dance on the edge of nothingness and somethingness
I have no voice, no face, no body, no home
No one to turn to, no one to hold, or have hold me
I have watched as the people waste what they have
I have watched as they destroy their beautiful world
Now I say, no more

A No Idea Day
Ok, so this is probably won't be continued and will be small fic that I wrote on a whim. Hope y'all enjoy and if you want me to do more, tell me in the comments
It was late afternoon and the world seemed to be slipping past her. Every second was speeding by, while she sat in her chair in front of her small laptop, trying to write.
"If I leave my grin behind, remind me
we're mad here, and it's ok. . . ."
Cheshire Kitten (We're All Mad Here) had been continuously repeating through her headphones for the past 2 hours, mainly because she thought it would help her think. Her hunch had obviously been unsuccessful. She was supposed to be writing a story for a competition, but when she finally had the time to actually sit down and write, she lost all of her ideas. The ideas, she had been brimming with for weeks, all drained from her skull the minute she opened up a document. How pathetic was that.
She had finished all of her work for the week, all her chores were done, and she had some brain food in front of her in hopes that it would give her brain a much needed boost. She was playing a new Spotify playlist, finding the perfect song to get lost in and she momentarily had flash of an idea. And for 7 glorious minutes, she wrote something. It seemed to be greatest work as she feverishly typed, but she noticed she had lost her train of thought the minute she thought that. As she went over the document, she saw plot holes and inconsistencies throughout her storyline. Crap, she muttered to herself. In moment of pure anger, she hit control A and deleted everything.
She finally gave up around 7pm. She made herself dinner, scrolled through her social media and binged a few games on her phone, and watched a couple hours of Netflix. I have 2 more weeks till the deadline, she thought as she headed to bed after finishing the 2nd season of Hilda. Hey, it may have been a kid's show but it was entertaining and the graphics were awesome. She face planted into her soft mattress and started to drift off when inspiration struck her.

Deep Dive
The piano washes over me like a tidal wave
Pulling my small form, deep into the unending ocean
Swirling in a steady, yet rising and powerful current
Sinking out of reality
Lost in the thurm of the violin
Lost in the waves of the piano
Lost in the constant, vibrating hum of the vocals
Tapping out that intoxicating rhythm
As if I'm melding into the pianist's soul
Banging the keys
Smashing out random letters
Over and over
Over and over
Time being inconsequential
Falling deeper into the abyss
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper
Gone. . . .
An Ode To My Womb
I could never love you like a mother should
I can’t pour out all the love I can into you
You scream and kick and twist me into knots
I can’t love like that, so devoted and unyielding
I am selfish and distant, I need time for myself
Not the constant love a child needs, unabashed and overflowing
I know I want to love others the way I was never loved
I don’t shudder at the name of “mother” like I claim to
I want to be split upon an altar, to sacrifice my soul
But I know I’d tremble as the blade rises
That it’d cleave the edges of a hole
A hole so deep, a hole so wide, that filling it is impossible
An abyss cannot love a child
A hole cannot fill a hole
And so I cleave you from me
So some other bitch can love the terrible burden you contain
And I’ll stick to loving grown up things
Who become children with my claim
Happy Trans Day of Remembrance. I know it’s a hard to live as trans people, but I hope that this brings you some comfort. Because we deserve to live and be who we are.
Cleansing Tears
Today the sky weeps for those taken too soon
She weeps for children who claw at their skin
The youth that scream in fear and agony at world that wants them dead
The arrogant prophets claim their gods rule her
That their tyrannical, merciful, and judgmental gods scream curses at the children of Caeneus
Their propaganda laced sermons stain her like smog and ash
For that is all they bring: filth and destruction
Weep with our sky, Caeneus, for her tears will germinate our revolution
