As someone who does like to 'live small', this is really interesting to think about. It'll take some reflection to figure out to what extent I agree with this, but it's a very well-crafted argument that doesn't attack anyone. I appreciate that. Thought I'd share.
I love them,,,
today i’m fifteen
bruises on my hands
scabs split open
body shot to hell
today i’m angry at the world
and i don’t understand why
the world doesn’t take offense
today i’m burning rubber
in old parts of town i swore never to return
today i can’t seem to get lost
these winding roads are too familiar
and every turn brings me back to fifteen
bruises on my legs
fresh scabs from last night
eyes shot to hell
funny how yesterday i was twenty
adolescence fleeing my skin
tattoos scabbing over
innocence shot to hell
yesterday i locked eyes with you
yesterday i burnt rubber in the parking deck
yesterday i couldn’t get lost fast enough
today i’m fifteen
bruises still fresh
scabs yet to form
five years shot to hell
Found this very funny
This scene happens with literally 0 context or build up whatsoever
Welcome to the world
By sun.after.winter
Welcome to the world
I'm sure you'll love it here
With all the thoughts shoved down your throat
With none that you can share
Welcome to the world
We'll control your every move
Don't worry - your free here
If you do exactly as your hear
Late nights and Would you rathers
Kate Baer, from And Yet: Poems; “Idea”
[Text ID: “I will enjoy this life. I will open it like a peach in season, suck the juice from every finger, run my tongue over my chin. I will not worry about clichés or uninvited guests peering in my windows. I will love and be loved. Save and be saved a thousand times. I will let the want into my body, bless the heat under my skin. My life, I will not waste it. I will enjoy this life.”]
if you think about it, every time we tranquilize animals to transport them safely to another place, we are the sleep paralysis demon
The Road Goes Ever On and the Misty Mountains song (from chapters 16 and 18 of my comic adaptation of The Hobbit.) anyway: the symbolism of the parallels between these two poems ;-;. [Find links to all my projects here!]
