POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
~I’m always paranoid about how people think of me. I sometimes hate what I post. But, fuck it, I’ll post it anyways~
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...
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

Only if I never had known
You’re the 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.

~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
Cause, I’m a...

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

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....

!!~ How to read my song lyrics “correctly” lol
*FYI for people who read my lyrics**
(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ
I’ve noticed that many of my song lyrics don’t really make sense when you just read them out loud.
But that is cause they’re supposed to go the tune of the song that I post a link to at the bottom.
I think some of my lyrics can stand alone, but for many, in order to truly get the message, one would definitely have to listen to the song while reading along with the lyrics.
It’s kinda like karaoke, except, you’re not...

Run Away (9 & 3/4)
verse one}
Suddenly the skies,
Turned in on my mind
Now’s the time.
Spilt the iodine,
Stinging in my scars
I’m screaming out:
{verse two}
“Oh, what is empathy for,
If no one feels this like I do?
Tricked by fake grinning,
Trapped by hexan beasts--
But people could care less.”
{post-verse}
I felt so hopeful,
I’ve started over a million,
Fucking times.
But, it’s all a lie.
So you say you’re here for me, ...

Reliving the past, anxious in the present, winging it for the future
Long ago, I created an account called “wizkatfood” along with my current account. I pretended I was two different people when in fact it was just me.
I still find it hilarious to this day that I decided to do such a thing, even though it makes absolutely no sense lol.
When I created “wizkatfood” I was in a much worse state that I am in now. If you read my latest poem, you probs wouldn’t believe me lol—but that’s not the point.
I was at the height of my mental health crisis and I definitely needed to clock out of that account. So, I did. I deleted it.
