Drafts of a confession
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ Let's dive into the truth about a confession of the deepness, that lingers in the heart and spiritual soul touching, the deepness of your soul and mind. For this precious story will go deeper than deep, into the process of being able to share your silent, whispers of your tears that have been created by the hurt and pain. That goes to the reason, why you wear a mask as a disguise, to hide from preying eyes. 👁️👁️ But yet beneath the surface of your mind thoughts, you wonder how much you need and want...

a deeper look into my mind
what's my "favorite" thing to do during my "alone time"?; I like to play the sims 4 often; fascinated with a simulated world where you could build everyone up- and will them to all get along.... to have little to no burdens- and bonds that are forever strong....
"me" a "creation" playing "creator" in a sense- creating not a perfect but an ideal version of "real life" within an open world virtual reality.... where everyone is friendly;
where the "world" is...

Living life on the edge
Living life on the edge of no return is real evidence of lessons learned, that we thought that we didn't need to learn, but yet that was far from the truth. For sometimes we might find ourselves involved in situations, at a young age that can be dangerous to your health and well-being. For sure as street life goes it can make you or break you, or it can sometimes help you turn your life around for the betterment of life. For sure you gotta decide is this life for me and can, you hack it and still deal with the outcome of some situations, that maybe you will find thyself in some real tight...

Dreaming of finding love
I close my eyes— sleep, awake, threshold, rupture, flight
a door unhinges inside my mind,
splitting wide to the infinite howl of the cosmos.
The dark swallows me whole,
Yet I walk silent through the nothing, a shadow without weight,
stardust in my mouth, my veins glass rivers humming with echoes,
feet bleeding across the abyss,
through infinity, past the breath of collapsing stars.
"Love!" I call, voice shattered into echoes.
"Love, where are you?"
"Do you not know my voice?"...
a door unhinges inside my mind,
splitting wide to the infinite howl of the cosmos.
The dark swallows me whole,
Yet I walk silent through the nothing, a shadow without weight,
stardust in my mouth, my veins glass rivers humming with echoes,
feet bleeding across the abyss,
through infinity, past the breath of collapsing stars.
"Love!" I call, voice shattered into echoes.
"Love, where are you?"
"Do you not know my voice?"...

N/A
as long as the orchestra "harmonizes"(as long as im "alive")- perhaps there's always a chance to potentially experience more; if the music "makes sense"- right?- should a possible "opened window?"- in a moment- be ignored?
I've.... procrastinated on permanently changing my middle name to "safe"- now how much sense does that actually make? - that's not quite how life's rhythm operates....

f**king with levity (thinking out loud)
I've had a few creative mentors over the years, people I respected (some I still respect), people I looked up to without question, people I relied on, people who I treated like Gods when they were undeniably human. I took the best parts of them to heart, while also taking the things that don't work for me.
There's one line in particular, that runs through my head, rent free. "Indie, you need more levity, your work is brilliant, but it's too heavy on its own". And I think about that all the time. I think about how I love the darkness as much as I hate it. I think about...

She Stands Alone, Yet Never Alone
Alone I stand in Miami,
One-bedroom dreams, a downsize from a life I once knew.
Four-bedroom echoes still whisper in my mind,
But here...here, I am free.
The ocean hums my name like it’s always known me,
Like it’s been waiting for me to wake up.
Sunrise kisses the waves like they belong together,
Like they’ve never known separation
And I wonder, is that what I’m learning?
To belong to myself, fully.
To trust that even when I feel alone,
I am exactly where I am meant to be.
Dreams I once scribbled in secret

Shattered Visions
Oh the Innocence
That laugh, that wild howling in the throat of the child,
Unseen fingers scramble for the last thread of light
Here, the angels are naked,
no wings to catch their fall.
The river splits,
splashes,
and chaos is born
from the lips of the unholy, the pure.
There be our Divinity
slips beneath the skin like rust on gold—
a fractured god,
broken in pieces,
spilled across the morning,
the moon forgets its name.
Prophecies?
Laughing in the dust,
twisted and torn,

Rules of Perfectionism
Rule 1: Making the slightest mistake is the end of the world.
Rule 2: If I don't drop everything for someone, I am being the most selfish, most cruel person in the world. Or they don't drop everything for me, they are.
Rule 3: The slightest bit of criticism means danger.
Rule 4: Rejection is a blackhole I'll get sucked into.
Rule 5: If someone doesn't accept me perfectly or fit perfectly into what I can tolerate, my world I've tried so hard to build will collapse.

The Nice Girl Persona
I've had to play the nice girl all my life,
never to make a mistake,
always be perfect.
Never be selfish.
Always be selfless.
Even as I'm writing so much about me,
I feel self absorbed.
Obsessed with myself,
and there's still that part of me
that shuns it,
that says, "How dare you!"
Oh,
narcissistic abuse
warps the soul.
It makes black look white
and white look black.
I still feel scared of people's needs and desires and expectations
I cannot live up to.
Perhaps I have too many...
never to make a mistake,
always be perfect.
Never be selfish.
Always be selfless.
Even as I'm writing so much about me,
I feel self absorbed.
Obsessed with myself,
and there's still that part of me
that shuns it,
that says, "How dare you!"
Oh,
narcissistic abuse
warps the soul.
It makes black look white
and white look black.
I still feel scared of people's needs and desires and expectations
I cannot live up to.
Perhaps I have too many...

Misdiagnosis
I know I was diagnosed with harm OCD a few years ago, but something tells me I have a bigger problem than intrusive, violent thoughts that aren't genuine.
No, they're real and they're genuine.
I'm writing about a serial killer one day because he could have been me had my parents been a lot more controlling and had things been way worse for me. I'm living proof that anyone could do evil things under the right circumstances.
I could deny all I want to that these two characters in my future book who have murderous impulses are not like me at all. Back when I...
