Ode to my beautiful body…
Creamy melting mess
Hidden under veil black
Like the mourning of Great Love
Once smooth, now treacherous
Threatening to swallow whole
To drown in indiscernible waterfall of flesh
Avert a gaze just to be touched
Painful and lovely all at once
Ashamed of my weakness
Deflated elasticity
Veil stripped.
The demon I cannot hide
Taking every inch
Disapproving every other
It's the eyes I cannot meet
When I can feel gravity
Pull me slack
Don't see me... Don't see...
Creamy melting mess
Hidden under veil black
Like the mourning of Great Love
Once smooth, now treacherous
Threatening to swallow whole
To drown in indiscernible waterfall of flesh
Avert a gaze just to be touched
Painful and lovely all at once
Ashamed of my weakness
Deflated elasticity
Veil stripped.
The demon I cannot hide
Taking every inch
Disapproving every other
It's the eyes I cannot meet
When I can feel gravity
Pull me slack
Don't see me... Don't see...

Sleep Deprivation (String of Tanka)
Time is ticking by
And I am trap in this trance
Unable to move
From my sitting position
To get up and start moving
My mind is hazy
My chest feels heavy, burdened
For no known reason
Since waking up very late
On this rainy afternoon
After a long while
The old familiar feeling
Is back to trouble
My heart my mind and my spirit
With feelings of disquiet
I am overtaken
By sense of placidity
That has been hiding
In the shadow of daylight
Waiting for a chance to pounce
Sleep...
And I am trap in this trance
Unable to move
From my sitting position
To get up and start moving
My mind is hazy
My chest feels heavy, burdened
For no known reason
Since waking up very late
On this rainy afternoon
After a long while
The old familiar feeling
Is back to trouble
My heart my mind and my spirit
With feelings of disquiet
I am overtaken
By sense of placidity
That has been hiding
In the shadow of daylight
Waiting for a chance to pounce
Sleep...

Bottle Up? Or Explode? (NaPo #4/30)
I read it over six times,
And just when I think I've gotten it right,
Higher, and higher, my shame, embarrassment, and rage, climes,
For I have yet to get it right.
I keep messing things up,
Making myself look incompetent and unintelligent,
Something's up,
That better not be all that I am, these failures better not be persistent,
For tension is already on the rise,
I don't know how much more of this I can take,
Every single action judged, I see it in their eyes,
I know there's more to me than each minor mistake,
Just,...
