POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Hmm…I don’t think I’d consider myself a poet exactly, but I think I’m kind of a creative writer of sorts?
This Is All I Have For You
v.1]
It’s not like there’s anything that’s coming,
That you know of yet.
[v.2]
No more than a secret you’ve never heard of,
Skippin’ in my heartbeat~
[hook]
Your smile in neon lights,
A sound strikes in the air tonight…
A howling echo, calling you~
[v.3]
Maybe, my trickery has finally beat me,
At my own game.
[pre-ch.]
Maybe I’m a player out to get you.
What if you’re caught in my ruse?
[chorus]
Sunglasses in midnight...
It’s not like there’s anything that’s coming,
That you know of yet.

Labyrinth
‧̍̊˙· 𓆝.° 。˚𓆛˚。 °.𓆞 ·˙‧̍̊
Don’t look far away
Where sadness waits for us
Let both our eyes close
Kiss me here and now
A sweetly melting melody
Here, I’m drawn in
A labyrinthine paradise
No exit in my view
No ending for us two
Oh just surround me
I long for you
Don’t come in my way
This midnight paradise
Without a breath even
I deep dive right in
An intimate dance
Between us
...

SO BAD
You stole my heart,
So what’s the bet?
You turn away,
So what’s the catch?
Don’t play that game (yeah)
You’ll never win (yeah)
Don’t leave me here again, without a trace.
Just another syllable,
Of my name and something more.
Pull me closer,
Or push me farther.
My love,
Look at me now.
Baby, decency is out the door,
Virtue had its final blow.
Adrenaline’s aiming its gun.
Oh, I was her,
Now I’m invincible.
Right now, oh I want you so bad.
Nothing left I can say, yeah. ...

If You Do
intro]
‘So it’s me again?’ Huh.
Why you gotta be like this?
Forget it.
[verse 1]
What you want, it’s good,
What I want, won’t do.
And when we do the same damn thing,
You’ll always have it your way.
What’s the point of fighting?
What’s the point of wounding me?
Suddenly…
[verse 2]
Were you comfortable, when I touched you so?
Ran farther than any distance no one would go.
Did I do enough, or ran out your luck,
To swear your revenge, behind me so? ~Uh
Was it too much to love you with all...

Only One
There’s a heart that’s aching for you
You’re the only one
There’s a hand that reaches out for you
You’re the only one
There’s a gaze that searches for you
After all your goodbyes
Only if I never had known
You’re the only one
Only one
It always starts out like those first times
Only needed one more glance
And one more second.
Your eyes lured me in,
Without a look in my direction
Your smile spoke to me,
Without a single word.
Familiar unfamiliar feelings
From a TV show...

~Finding a timeless song in an unexpected place
⊱ ────── {.⋅ ♫ ⋅.} ───── ⊰
A while ago, in May 2020, my friends made me a playlist consisting of all of the songs they thought I’d like, put into a CD and got it delivered to my house...in the middle of a pandemic.
This was absolutely amazing as I didn’t expect I would get a b-day gift at all heh.
But this gift got me questioning myself, what is THE song that just...does it for me?
It’s a weird way of phrasing it, but lemme explain.

Coping with being an ‘average’ person (in most respects)~
From my personal thoughts/opinions
.:☆*: („• ֊ •„) :*☆:.
I recently watched a Youtube video where random strangers started explaining to the camera when was the first instance they knew they “weren’t like everyone else”, which is probably another statement for saying they’re “special” or “extra-ordinary” (aka not ordinary/mediocre).
However, many of the individuals answered with the fact that they actually are like everyone else, and in my POV, these comments gave an interesting tone to the video I don’t think she intended....

Lovin’ U
chapter 1 - SOLE]
Lonely days,
So I’ve been scrollin’,
Heyo~
And look who I found it’s,
U and that smirk in ur smile,
Yeah~
Watch me close,
Sippin’ the ice water~
Like it’s made out of diamonds.
That’s stolen,
From ur frozen heart baby.
Been called fragile,
Oh-so innocent,
A little girl who pokes annoyingly,
“Baby what’s on ur mind?”
“Baby what’s on ur mind?”
On all my notes,
I filled out all the blanks,
Been dottin’ all my i’s

The fear of always being secretly judged (~pt.2)
This is a continuation of part 1 of this article with the same name ♡(ᐢ ᴥ ᐢし))
*Both parts of this article include depictions of anxiety
ₓ˚. ୭ ˚○◦present day moi ˚◦○˚ ୧ .˚ₓ
I have to admit that it’s very difficult to explain these emotions of my experiences because, this is like the first time I’m trying to explain them, lol.
Though, with a little bit of faith, I’m trying to look beyond myself so I can help someone else who might feel the same...

The fear of always being secretly judged (~pt. 1)
This article contains depictions of anxiety, but I hope it can help people by speaking about it.
✵彡✵彡✵彡
~I think one of the scariest things I will always encounter in my life is the feeling of absolute dread when I’m being evaluated by others. It’s probably why I’m quite the perfectionist (in a bad way, not in a good way).
For some reason, it always feels like I have to be aware of my surroundings at all times, in case I slip up and someone is watching. And it always paralyzes me temporarily...

:being soft & innocent in a tough world ~ myths & struggles:
Based solely on my own personal experience.
=(ᴜ ω ᴜ ☆)=
I'm a sensitive softie, and at times, I absolutely hate myself. Especially when I've gotten many, many assumptions about me and about how I should change.
If you relate to this, then welcome :3 And if you don't, maybe you'll learn more about some of the sensitive people out there.
I'll try to organize my thoughts with sections, it'll be a bit of a slow burn, but bear with me.

No assembly required.
I know,
You never meant to hurt me.
It was an accident
Something that, wasn’t supposed to be.
No,
It’s not that, I wanna hurt you.
I’m not picking sides
On some black or white
Or on some arbitrary virtues.
It’s just me.
And, I just need some space.
*instrumental*
It’s natural,
You want me to see it your way.
You’ll
Bond all my wounds,
Heal up my scars,
And wash away my pain…
Maybe I’m,
Just a little bit insane,
For not wanting to be perfect today....
