she used to look at me like she hated me
...my mother's mother...
wanted to erase my existence from her reality
mom always said it was all in my head
...that I was just being too sensitive
{I got that a lot growing up...}
until one holiday when I was 15
that woman sent a box of presents
lovely wrapped packages for mom & my sister
...complete with shimmery bows & pretty labels
each of them receiving warm fluffy robes
{they even had big pockets!}
...& matching slippers for them both ...

For Safety
Love, that old snake,
comes to thaw my heart
with its honey-sweet kisses.
I light a fire to keep it away
and my heart in the freezer.

CAN YOU HEAR ME?
MY YEAR 9 STUDENT WROTE THIS AND I WILL LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU.
All credit goes her.

*CAN YOU HEAR ME?*
```By Natasha Van Der Horst``
`
You disrespect me but expect to be respected.
You shut me down because your words are more important than mine.
I am singled out because I don’t deserve human decency.
My skin is of greater threat than the hell you give me.
The food my mother gives me is all just for you to eat.
My short limbs,
My crossed eyes,
My red hair and squeaky voice,
Has any done you any harm? ...
All credit goes her.

Unmistaken Identity
So here’s the thing…
The jig has been up
I’ve known
since shortly after
the beginning
Your falseness
This facade you created
just to stay
I’ve played along
been coy
flirted
even fantasized
I’ve enjoyed
this
It was refreshing
For a bit
Until I realized
you’re still the same
unattached
uninvolved
just altogether “un”
Ya know what?
I’m pretty much
done pretending
There’s no value in it
I gave...

Of Irritation - NaPoWriMo 7
When I hate,
it drowns me.
To the pointed point
where only irritation remains
seeking the death of the day
blind to the light.
Eager to cut
to
the quick,
and frustratingly slow
in cooling off to calmness.
Each pulse of fury
feeds the loop
a hang noose of hatred
angrily gripped around
my neck,
suffocating in its sincerity.
Frankly
Damn it all
I cannot care for hatred;
too basic for my tastes
But still it feeds on me.
it drowns me.

You say it’s in my best interest
Well we know that line is bullshit
But that doesn’t stop you does it
There must be something wrong with me
For you to feel the incessant need
To correct my neurodivergencies
Your implicit bias is showing
With every move you’re over-controlling
All these invisible punches that you’re throwing
You’re kindling my rage inside
Tempting fate with all your lies
Injustice blatant in my eyes
You say let’s make a plan
But then you say you can’t
Give me what I ask
...

Waste
I fell in
Again
Halfway down
A bottle of bliss
Wasted the day
And now I’m pissed
And all I hear
Inside my ear
Is the reprimand
For my error
And then I see
It so clear
Facing me
In the mirror
Again
Halfway down
A bottle of bliss
Wasted the day
And now I’m pissed
And all I hear

End of a Chapter.
And I feel it the slipping of your hand from mine the end of chapter, my hands shake. Not knowing if I can turn the last page. When my character meets her demise Scrawled in a black ink calligraphic script shaped with outstanding penmanship. It’s show’s artistic flair and with the nib of a pen I exit the storyline with perfect strokes of black ink I witness a plot twist I had not foreseen am I so blind to all the characters who took my words on the paper. I honestly thought they were all mine but maybe I missed a chapter in my contented fantasy. I am an avid reader.
it’s not...
it’s not...

you have left me
hours barely passed,
such fleeted body,
you ravaged
the jeweled fields,
and made your choice

the cloud of abyss
The Cloud of Abyss
It was a perfect day, cobalt sky and azure, glittering sea
when the stygian clouds from the east came
the lord of war had spat phlegm, spraying us with horror
Inside this monstrosity, body parts, the headless were
flying by, the noise was unearthly, and my little dog sought
shelter under my coat I had bought in Hamburg
When the clouds had passed, I saw a landscape
devastated as Ypres in the great war, where millions had died for nothing
My dog was limp and had stopped breathing, I blew her, back to life
