[philosophybits]

Once the experience of war makes visible the possibility of death that lies locked up in each moment, our thoughts cannot travel from one day to the next without meeting death's face. [...] On each one of these days the soul suffers violence. Regularly, every morning, the soul castrates itself of aspiration, for thought cannot journey through time without meeting death on the way. Thus war effaces all conceptions of purpose or goal, including even its own “war aims”. It effaces the very notion of war's being brought to an end. To be outside a situation so violent as this is to find it inconceivable; to be inside it is to be unable to conceive its end.

Simone Weil, "The Iliad or The Poem of Force"

#learned ab this poem today during class #and im absolutely ENAMORED with it #after reading this poem i kinda think that #the purpose is for the reader to figure out what the poem means to them #rather than what stein was thinking while writing it #or maybe both? or none of these? who knows #but i love it nonetheless #words #my posts #tender buttons by gertrude stein #poetry #gertrude stein #tender buttons #classic poetry

@nosebleedclub march prompts: viscera !

#writers on tumblr #writeblr #spilled ink #my writing #w #big thanks to nosebleedclub 4 these amazing prompts inspiring me to write again :] #this poem is abt my tummy issues but it's also about My love for writing. heh #if the filipino is wrong i will actually k word myself but also i didn't use a translator or anything that was frm the heart #translation should be something like: 'even if you lose yourself - you will always find yourself - again again again] #also i feel like before my writing used to be so purposely vague coz i wanted it to be relatable to a wide audience #now i kinda don't gaf and i just make them so hyperspecific to myself. lol #every poem is just an inside joke with myself. actually. that's just life. lol!

I know it's early but I need lesbian huskerdust content.

Clarification I'm a baby dyke not some weird fetishy dude. Also I love the guys as they are I just am excited by the realization that they would make a cute butch/femme couple

Just idk something about imagining husk as a handsome woman makes me very flustered.

#I need to get better at art quick. #I used lesbian as shorthand for wlw here Husk would still 100% be pan #we dont invalidate bi and pan individuals in this household #I thought of this listening to a poem by Ivan coyote about the beauty of femmes and it made something in my brain go #this is the way husk loves Angel. My brain then went old timey butch/femme couple dancing to Loser baby and I started crying again #because i was already crying my heart out because the poem made me reflect on why ive been in the closet so long and #avoiding poetry on purpose as a way to keep myself from analyzing my own emotions around my sexuality and gender #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers #husker x angel dust #huskerdust

at the asian american studies sponsored movie screening i run out of my seat to press a button for the presenter and you look away, not in shame, but in anger

go make your own movie.

One where you’re the star

and everything’s my fault

the way you want it to be. I know, it’s easy

to let someone else hold this grief

and sit in the bathtub,

all dressed up to go to the party.

Maybe in this movie it’s your party

and I the party crasher,

holding cymbals and a baseball bat, et cetera.

But we don’t stop getting older when we’re angry

and you’re only twenty,

can’t listen to lullabies at night,

can’t sleep without a blanket

over your head like you’re scared

of your own shadow. God, go

write your own movie.

You could do it,

you’re still

pretty. Angry? Me too.

The bathtub’s overflowing,

the bathroom’s flooding

with whatever you couldn’t say

to the poet with their palms glued shut

in a cheap simulacrum of prayer.

Didn’t you say you were tired? Angry? Me too.

Upset? Unhappy? Me too. Hungry? Lonely? Me too. Me too.

Standing barefoot in the grass

I remembered the month of bad weather.

How I parted the fog with broken hands each night,

looking for your voice.

Oh, I will not forgive you.

Not like this.

With your fingers splayed

against the brute February sky,

lips cracked open like windows,

waiting, like you always are, for me to say the first word.

#my writing #my words #there are many reasons i like tumblr. for example the number of people who keep getting older is very impressive #but also it is nice because unlike my goddamn poetry account (self inflicted damage) half my friends irl do not follow me here #so i can put this poem down. it’s not public grief here it’s anonymous grief! woo #anyway i have just survived possibly the most brutal four weeks of my life and this is including getting dumped a week #before the dance concert in which my ex and i were in more than half the items together. this is including that #but i am OUT #and this poem was written while i was still in but i am O U T #lord being hurt and hurt and being mature and brave and smart makes your HR voice get really good #not by choice #for survival purposes #i am wondering if i should get this laptop. as my water bottle exploded and destroyed my old laptop #i think i will do it #yes. i think so #it is time to start taking care of myself. and so on #so here’s this poem. i wanted to share it because it’s raw and unedited and it has some lines that i think are neat #if it makes you feel some stuff that would make me very happy

[londonknights]

it’s all been done

it’s all been done

it’s all been done before

#toronto maple leafs #london knights #max domi #mitch marner #hockey poetry #this isn’t a poem tho it’s a song #close enough #for tagging purposes it’s a poem #anyway. hurt with me #think about the unstoppable marching of time with me

What did I come here for?

I came here to create a life that I love for myself.

I came here to heal and develop meaningful relationships.

I came here to get cultivate and nurture my own space.

I came here to heal and fall healthily in love.

I came here to listen to myself and do something I am passionate about.

I came here to heal and open up to the world and others.

I came here to allow the universe to work through me as I create art.

I came here to find my purpose.
