Writers know each other

Their souls intertwined somewhere in the space between letters

Their hearts sang to each other the means of inspiration

They live in a different realm

Feet on the ground

Mind in 7 different places and times

They are natives to a world unknown by most

One can not travel by plane or boat or foot

Though many have tried

It is not a land to be colonized

This is where my people run for sanctuary from the fires

Where we keep each other company with hidden messages and comforts

Hidden with in lines and dialogue

The language of our mother

Dionysus drank to forget he lost his map home

Always wanting to return to the land of the writers

It's what drove his insanity

It's how he drives others to insanity

Trying to teach them a language they can't hear or see

The muses tried to warn him what he was losing

Now all his knows is the theater

As close to home as he can ever get

When others bring the world to this one

I hear the song of warning

The banging of drums unseen

Screams and shouts

Fear and uncertainty scent the air

Maybe that's me

The wind whips past my ears and under my clothes

Birds fly off to the east

Running away from my destination

I have nothing to fear here.

I do not fear much anymore

Why fear when I don't want any outcome

I am of this place

Run if you must

I know it is too much

But I was never given a choice

As I approach the door

Welcome sign at my feet

I steal myself for a fate

I would never escape

"your body is a temple"

My body is not a temple in the way of beauty and glorious art

It crumbles against the wind

Creaks and groans with any pressure

My body is the temple of a forgotten god

One that has not known love or piety in many days.

In a forgotten corner, covered in dust and cob webs sits a mural

Stained glass and paint come together

In beautiful hues of blue and purple

To create the meaning of man

Unseen forces hold it together

Maybe forces of religious miracles untold

I look like him

His high cheekbones

Thick eyebrows

I even had his teeth pattern

Before you forced me to straighten them

I have his mother's nose

Indigenous and strong

But you argue it's like yours

I have his lips

Not plump, but full

I smile like him

I have his ears

Weird dimensions and Pointy

I have his build

Round hips, wide shoulders

Hourglass

Strong legs

I have his eyelashes

Thick and straight

I had his hair

Thick, straight and dark

I have my own eyes

Green with blue patches and brown rings

They look like both of yours

I have your hair now

Loose curls

Still thick and dark

Much thicker and darker than yours

I have my own hands

Strong and long

I have my own feet

Deformed and painful

I don't love me yet

I'm working on it

I love my curls

They are your curls

But I hate the rest of you

You want me to be just like you

I've cried and sobbed over the idea

I want to love me

But if I am you I can't love me

Because you don't love me

All the things you never taught me

How to care for my hair

How to take care of my skin

How to cook

When to eat

How to listen to my needs

How to cry safely

You can never teach me

How be strong

How to be independent

How to schedule appointments

When to quit

I have taught myself

How to live

How to love

How to think

Because you prayed on my ignorance

How to date

When to move

I am stronger then you ever were

I am more secure then you ever will be

Because you taught me

That I am alone.

All I have is me

The Ghost of My Childhood

I see her everywhere I go

I thought she needed my help

I thought she wanted to pass on

Her dark long hair

Her uncomfortable looking dress

Her tortured expression

The death of the person I was

Now she doesn't know what to do

She wants to be happy

But she doesn't know how it feels

Grandma's rusty kitchen scissors

never looked that fine

Till you broke a heart

It wasn't even mine

She had called me crying

I couldn't understand

Id thought she was dying

But now I have a plan

I have lived as a doll

Dressed by her fashions

Molded by her expectations

Hollowed out by her screams

Hair long

Eyes wide

She made me into someone she could love

Now I live as a canvas

Dressed by my hand

Unshaped, undefined

Changing as I wish

I will change for other

Because it brings us joy

Red hair dye for a broken heart

Bangs for existential dread

Messy, choppy

A paper plate

Tin foil

Grandma's rusty kitchen scissors

My tools to build anew

I want to be someone I can love

For someone I love

My art is a product of me

Not the other way around

I am an artist because I am tortured

I am not tortured because I am an artist

Leave my art alone

It is what I can never be

I spill my soul into the world

Through letters on a page

Paint on canvas

Carvings in wood

It is beautiful because it is as close to the truth as anyone can get

What you create is a part of you

No matter what you create

Be kind to yourself

As an artist

Because you are telling the truth

While others wish they could replicate it

Wants and needs are different

I can ignore my needs for your wants

Turn myself inside out and backwards

All for your happiness

And you

You take my happiness in your soft delicate hands

And slowly pick it's wings off

A butterfly slowly dying

But it's what you want

So I don't need them

I need these in my house immediately

These are called Witches Stairs. Allegedly, witches can't climb up them.

You will occasionally find them in very, very old New England homes.

Some writers: *meticulously plan out every plot point and the tone and meanings before they start writing*

Me:

I can feel my lungs filling

Of salty sea air

I am nowhere near the sea

Yet she calls to me

I feel my stomach sink

With rocks of the mountains

I am nowhere near the mountains

Yet they whisper in my ear

Slowly I am dying

Melting into the ground

To be one with the sea and the mountains

Do you ever stop and wonder

where the time went?

No I don't mean the passing of time,

Past,

Present,

Future.

No I mean the concept of time.

The fact that it exists,

Whether linear

Or a spiral

Or a social construct .

Because I look at you

And I see

all the mistakes I've made in the past

What led me to the present

My future.

Time stops

And I understand the difference of

Here and there

What and when

How and why

Never and forever

You are within yourself

The very paradox of my existence.

Where did the time go

I don't know

But I want to find it and spend it with you

The rest of my days

The end of days

Past, present, future

I want it to be you

Or maybe we sit here

And watch time pass us by

But at least we are together

Our worlds are so intertwined.

I see clearly into yours.

You see directly into mine.

And yet our worlds end differently.

Yours is falling down a rabbit hole. Down down Goes Alice.

Mine is burning up. Up in flames Bradbury.

You were my world.

And now I know I was yours.

It's dark down here, falling.

It is too bright up there, burning.

I wish you weren't my world, then I could leave you in peace. Safe away from the fire. I hope it burned quick so you didnt suffer.

I'm okay being stuck in this hole. I can keep your memory. Darkness breeds mystery and the mystery is will I ever meet you again

Down down Goes Alice

Up in flames Bradbury
