Take my hand like you mean it because I'm not here playing games,
And let's go somewhere far away where no one knows our names.
It matters not of where we are as long as you're infront of my eyes,
Because even in hell you can give me the experience of a paradise.

CHANGING STATES
Lately, something has taken hold / of me—not hunger, not shame. It is like a flower / blooming in the injury. —Richie Hofmann
On the evening Jeremiah decides he’ll drive thirty hours to Maryland, the other half of his mattress is cold and Madonna’s on the radio. In his bedroom, he taps his cigarette on the windowsill, the ash scattering into rainy blue hour, and listens. Time goes by so slowly, she goes, her voice singed through his boombox’s broken speakers. He’s meant to replace it, though he’s meant to do a lot of things: check the mail, make a quiche, buy lightbulbs, call his sister, take up cross-stitch, recycle an olive jar, move his bed to the opposite side of his room. But time goes by so slowly, and Jeremiah would know—he’s twenty-one, yet feels he’s been alive for much, much longer.

Sometimes depression is a beast, but sometimes 5-year-olds sing you songs they learned at VBS, and sometimes you get to eat fresh raspberries from the garden, so actually everything is going to be okay.

From hurt, from anguish, from suffering, there comes that burst of creativity. That fiery pen waving like a magic wand over the paper...and the words, they just flow...

🍊 i love you. i'm glad i exist. 🍊
The pain comes in waves, and it’s eased a bit at the moment, though she knows it’s still too sharp for her to stand. She focuses on her breath, inhaling and exhaling, until the scent of something citrusy floats into the room.
She opens her eyes, maneuvering herself into a sitting position before looking over to the kitchen. Lin is standing at the counter, a fiery bright orange in her hands. It suddenly seems to be the only color in the entire apartment - the fruit in Lin’s hands and the peels discarded on the counter next to her. It’s something like watching her partner hold the sun.
kya has a chronic pain flare up and lin peels her an orange

cons of going to a “good schoolTM”: insane workload, unbearable classmates, next to no support when you have any kind of extenuating circumstances Including literal hospitalization, etc
pros of going to a “good schoolTM”: the 9-5 lifestyle is genuinely a major improvement

my levity
I hope you feel my love for you.
I hope it wraps itself around you when you need a hug, when you need comfort.
I hope it warms you when the world makes you cold, makes you ache in your bones.
I hope it fills you when you’re empty, when you feel like you’ve been drained by life.
I hope it lights your path when the world’s gone dark, gone dangerous and insular.
I hope it settles into your skin and becomes as much a part of you as it is of me.
I hope you feel my love for you,
and, in time, your love for me.

I'm myself, as I am the things around me. What am I, if not the pink in the clouds? If not the bubbles overflowing the tub—the dripping wax of a candle?
I'm myself, as I am the things I create. I'm the boy in the art I make—the girl in the words I write. I am the person in the friendships I forge, as I am what they see in the stars.
I’m myself, as I am the things I feel. I am their hands in mine—the love I hold close. I am the rain on my skin, as I am enamoured with the petrichor.
I’m myself, as I am broken. I'm the tear tracks on my cheeks—the anger in my veins. I am the cracks in the mirror, as I am the reflection.
I’m myself, as I am loved. I'm the way people smile when I laugh—the way they match their breathing to mine. I am the way they hug me when I feel like a burden, as I am the jokes to lighten theirs.
I am myself—as I am a whole world, as I am the way I'd burn it for those I cherish.
I am myself, as I am still here.

you breathe into me,
sculpting a body of space dust.
complementary binary stars locked in a gravitational embrace.
we push and pull until both cease to exist,
two halves of a soul reunited.
you pull me closer, caress my cheek,
and claim you’re trying to keep us afloat;
i close my eyes and let your deceit wash away the decay.
but oh, darling, i can’t shake the feeling
that maybe we’re drowning.

Burn.
The sun's heat was nothing more but candle-like; flickering, but it was there, waiting to fall over and turn into fire
Human-like creatures stomping on earth, the sun couldn't stand idly by
The sun's eyes widened at the destruction that laid beneath its feet, their expression beyond understanding
Humans, animals, plants, life—all will end because of them
And so the sun fell on earth, its gentle warmth turning into blazing heat
Scorching the lands, drying up the waters
And the earth only heard the sun's scream echoing as its blaze die on its own.
But little did the sun know, the sky fell with them
Its lonely arms enveloped the world like a blanket
Hugging its own grief over the sun's death, collapsing in itself
As the sun showed its brilliance for the last time, the sky couldn't stand it
So they looked away, their hands clasping each other, as if praying to someone out there, someone who could hear it.
"The sun is the only star I'll ever love, but if you'll take them for this world's sake, I'm not going to stop you. Not because I love this godforsaken land, but because the sun could never regret the life they have given it."

The struggles to wake. A story of mornings.
A soft lullaby of rain tempts you not to wake
Your warm heavy duvet like shackles you can not break.
Your kitten comes for cuddles begging you to stay
It's getting harder and harder to keep the dreams at bay.
Oh the stuggle to wake in the morning
This is a deep and dangerous warning.
Get up you must but sleep you wish.
If only you were a cat, dog or even fish.
Where for you rules of mornings and waking could not touch
And whether you slept the day a way would not matter much
If only you didn't have to get up in the morning
Your alarm chimes again like a deep and dangerous warning.
