I want to retreat into my notebooks and live in the solace of my words. Maybe I always wanted to live in my mind.

Seitdem du mich verlassen hast

fühl ich mich auf einem verkehrten Planeten

grundlos wie im Meer treten

finde mich ins Leere beten

hab dir doch mein ganzes Herz gegeben

und dennoch nicht gereicht

jedes meiner Gefühle gab ich dir in vollen Zügen

aber wenn mein gesamtes Herz zu wenig ist

wie soll ich jemals irgendwem genügen?

my own muse.

my own best friend.

my own lover.

my own mentor.

my own student.

my own experience.

my own version.

my own journey.

my own destination.

my own heart.

my only self.

In a house where echoes whispered lies,

She learned to dance beneath judgmental skies.

Narcissistic shadows, looming tall,

In their shallow world, she felt so small.

Alone she stood, with no one to hold,

In the silence, her story untold.

Emotionally immature, their hearts remained,

Leaving her in darkness, feeling drained.

But through the tears, she found her might,

In the depths of loneliness, she saw the light.

With each step forward, she broke free,

From the chains of their toxicity.

No longer defined by their cruel decree,

She blossomed into who she's meant to be.

In her own strength, she found her way,

A survivor of darkness, now thriving each day.

*Stitched Me* by Bron Rauk-Mitchell [text + image versions]

he loved only these specific parts of me,

and hated everything else about me, so,

I cut away the unloved parts,

and discarded them in the trash;

stitching together everything else that remained …

but this Frankenstein’s monster no longer appealed to him, so,

he threw me in the trash, with those unloved parts,

and went off in search of other parts to love.

i want to apologize to all the women (after rupi kaur)

i want to apologize to all the women who have been made to believe that their spirits cannot crush mountains i’m sorry for the ways in which your spirit has been broken piece by piece but i see the ways in which you have tried to build a mosaic out of what remains from now on when the world tries to minimize who she is i will remind the world that she is backbone of life itself she is galaxies yet to be named and oceans not yet discovered women are not just strong enough to mold mountains women are so much more than that

Been working through Rupi Kaur's 'Healing through Words' book (at my own pace of course). The activity I'm on challenged to pick from some emotions to write a list poem about. Here is what may be the most raw poem I've written to date.

.

Grief is

Unexpected

It creeps in from nowhere, quietly

Be gentle with me, please

Such sadness

Overwhelming

The gravity of it all is so heavy

Grief is that inevitable feeling

I don't escape it, it seems

It comes and goes

Now my heart is a ghost town

Grief is consuming

Dense

It covers me

Flows precisely over every wound

Drowning now

Does it ever go away?

Grief

Pain

Guilt

Does it ever go away?

Grief

I'm left here in its wake

Empty

Alone again

Love is knocking

But grief...

Grief is always the one to answer

I just need to get there first.

Mystery Ink

He walked into my life A dreamy, mysterious sight With inked skin and piercing eyes He left me breathless, mesmerised

His tattoos, like a story told Of love, loss, and adventures bold I longed to trace them with my fingers And unravel all his hidden triggers

But he remained a mystery His thoughts and feelings shrouded in secrecy I couldn't help but feel intrigued By this man who was both wild and meek

He came and went like a fleeting dream Leaving me with a sense of longing extreme Yet, I couldn't forget his tattooed allure And the way his presence made my heart pure.

If nothing lasts forever,

why does the pain still persist?

If nothing lasts forever,

how does this love for you still exist?

i was all over you

you were too good to be true... when you asked me out that first time I thought you were joking. you told me I was different. you made me feel special. we talked for hours in a crowded bar but it felt like we were alone. you had a strange look in your eyes. maybe you were trying to see right through me. I kept embarrassing myself but that made you laugh. it was the first time I didn’t feel judge for being ‘me’. maybe it was the drink, or maybe it was just you. you had that attitude. letting people think that you were selfless. but I could see it was something else. I kept blushing. I couldn’t look at you in the eyes because I was scared that if I did you’ll see me the way I see myself. you made the night special. I don’t even know how you did it. it was the first time I did not feel anxious to eat in front of someone. that meant a lot for me.

nothing happened when you took me home that night but I liked it even more that way.

I wish you knew why I was scared. I wish you knew why I couldn’t take things as fast as you probably wanted them to be.

when you first kissed me I ruined everything. I was so scared to be bad at it. even though you were not the first boy I had kissed, it was different. with you I didn’t want to ruin everything.

I took things too slow and when you told me you were not ready for a relationship that broke me. not because you were not ready but because I thought I was the problem.

and when you found someone else I felt empty for months. I kept wondering what was wrong with me. but I think the real issue was that I was waiting for you to give me the love I couldn’t give myself. it still hurts to think I was not the one you wanted to settle for but I'm still grateful you made me grow.

Some days the waves of sadness hit so hard, I feel like I’m drowning.

But when I finally come up for air, my breath feels deeper than the last.

Moving on hasn’t been easy and I still feel you in my heart, but I’m going on without you.

Something I thought I could never do since the moment I laid my eyes on you.

me + the sun = 🌈

coming into my own space of creating with pleasure, desire, authenticity, and all forms of expressing myself has been the most rewarding part of moving through the emotions that are most difficult for me to move through. shame.

i have always known how much my shame has blocked me from being vulnerable and feeling safe within that. but coming into a space where the shame grows smaller and feeling safe in my vulnerability, sensuality, and sexuality have become where my strengths are is my self-proclaimed super power.

as a scorpio stellium, this did not always feel like the case but is also one of the most obvious ones. navigating through how others may want to perceive me to feel safe within themselves is exhausting and is a misplacement of where my energy, my love, belongs.

first exercise in rupi kaur’s “healing through words”

what trauma looks like:

my four words/phrases were

1. jumbled mind

2. heart

3. smile

4. dark

The crack in the glass

once perfect, now shattering

into a jumbled mind

A perfect heart, now torn

ripping with every flashback

at the hands of every moment

that is silent and alone

Hidden behind a bright mind

a kind soul

and a sweet smile

After every “good bye” it goes dark once again.
