Your Own Death

I am your shadow, I follow your every step towards the light. I am your soul that has suddenly left the body cage.

I am in love with your dreams, exaggerated as always, ready to run away as usual. I relish tears, I relish the silence you gave me on the occasion of thirty years of my childhood.

I immerse myself in the emptiness of words that someone unhappy left at a nearby rubbish dump.

Infused with remorse, I wait desperately for another sleepless day.

It's raining, the drops are reminiscent of your fear. I don't want to run when the Sun is shining so bright. I forgot that sometimes it's worth talking to your own death.

11-21-2023, part 2

Do not ask me why I took a risk.

Do not ask me why, after gambling away all I had,

Why I bet on this latest game of love.

Do not ask me why I fell for the flashing lights

And the screen that proclaimed me the big winner.

Do not ask me how I didn't know the game didn't quite end with that moment.

That as I sat there cramming every last handful of my assumed winnings into my heart,

They would be confiscated at the door

With some dismissive explanation about fine print.

In a way, I'm glad I didn't know then what I do now.

That ignorance came at a steep cost, but I still won something.

Every gamble I've ever taken - some by choice, most by fate - I have always lost.

I have always departed empty-handed.

I have always returned home with that much less to live off of.

But for a brief moment? For that one sliver of time?

I had finally won something. I had finally won big.

So, even though I know now how the story would eventually unfold,

I'm unsure if I would take that moment away from my past self.

The experience hurt, but at least she was finally happy.

Finally at peace. Finally safe. Finally loved.

That genuine smile on her face.

That bright light in her eyes.

I lack the heart to personally continue the cycle of loss

By reaching back and ripping that moment away from her, too.

I am not like those who wounded me.

I am not them.

Even now, even as I stand in the charred remains of what was once home,

I cannot burn down a single surviving structure with my own hands.

I cannot. I will not.

I write stories of things that happen in real life. This was when The Phantom Menace was coming out. I was working at Electronic’s Boutique at the Irvine Spectrum & the movie theatre I had gone to since it 1st opened & there was barely anything at that outdoor circus mall. All that I wrote happened & I left out a detail of a news caster seeing our circle & sitting in the middle calling it a mush pot (which wiped my smile off my face immediately since I knew that meant she had to be the center of attention while asking us questions) and no, someone wasn’t dressed like Dark Helmet but I love Spaceballs & the cast so had to pay tribute just like I did on the tents that say Y-O-D-A (Weird Al ref) & Chewie (tribute to the song from Clerks & a doggie’s name on whom I loved but he had passed away) and R2 helping to project is paying tribute to a R2 Pepsi cooler I own from an Am/Pm from 1997 when the original films were remastered & put in the theatres prob to raise funds to put towards the other movies that were in the making & mega judged LOL!

If you like this stuff awesome, if you don’t then get mad because this is published in my 1st poetry book. Please don’t try & steal this to pass it off as your own. The difference between Lawyers & Attorneys is simple. Lawyers are about the law & attorneys kick ass. I have an attorney that can walk into court to state cases of facts & proof tilting the other lawyer so much I have seen some loose their shit screaming while she remains calm & wins cases in a matter of minutes. My point, I am represented well so please don’t steal art. If you need to steal art then go to Devant art since most there act that way & yes my illustrators have found our art there having to report them etc.

Poetry month was a success (reading wise.) I’ve read 6 poetry collections: - Flux by Orion Carloto - What Kind of Woman by Kate Baer - how sunflower bloom under moonlight by Isabella Dorta - I love you, call me back by Sabrina Benaim - On Sun Swallowing by Dakota Warren - She Who Destroys the Light by Shahida Arabi I’ve liked them all for various different reasons but I think my expectations might have been too high. What are your thoughts? Have you read any of these collections? / / / / / #bookstagram #booksta #bookstagrammer #bookgram #whatimreading #bookstagramfeature #booknerdigans #bookworm #reader #read #booksarelife #bookholic #ilovebooks #instaread #bookishgirl #amreading #booktok #books #poetry #modernpoetry #poetrycollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDmKLYLOD5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In Love with Your Light

I have found the source of my existence in you. Walking along the dark, swampy side of the road, I have stumbled upon the most beautiful future I wish to dedicate to you.

I am painfully in love with your light, with the smile you have been looking for so long in the thorny shadows.

I was choked by the unexpected morning tide, I plunged into happiness that still wanders between the door and the window.

I come back with an armful of poisonous memories, with a bouquet of thoughts on which the continuation of the end depends.

I'm not playing with remorse, with pain that doesn't match your tears. I got tired of the excess of stars, I went to the other side of the sky.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

and out in the garden,

The air grew quite cold

and the soil gently hardened.

There's nothing to do

in the garden tonight,

Under clear skies

with stars shining bright.

The gardener's work is

never quite done,

With weeding and growing

and errands to run.

Tonight the gardener

can sit back and rest,

To take a few hours

from the gardener's quest.

No thought tonight

of what should be sown,

Of what could be tended

and nurtured and grown.

The fire gently crackles,

the gardener dreams

of summer and spring,

all joyous it seems.

The radio plays

the Carols From Kings,

The gardener's mind

is full of good things.

The New Year approaches,

It's coming so fast,

The year that's now past us

was never to last.

Winter will lose its

battle with spring,

The bountiful blossom

a beautiful thing.

Winter's a thing we

all must endure,

A nasty affliction

that's minus a cure.

But now we know

that Christmas is here,

And good things will come

with the change of the year.

Merry Christmas everyone.

They say that it's always the darkest before the sunrise, but sometimes to stay until the sunrise we need someone, who will remind us what was the light like. #poem #anniewheelwright #poetry #poemsaboutdepression #healing #darkthoughts #helpmehelpyou #modernpoetry #suicideprevention #septemberawarenessmonth
