An Unspoken Truth
Reflecting on the toxic relationship I was in earlier this year, there's a profound truth that I have learned. A truth that's unseen. Unspoken. The forbidden truth. The truth that inconveniences men who don't get a lot of women. It is this very truth that shakes me to my core. Fear. So much fear around it.
As a woman with a more positive aura than the man I was with and who was an easy magnet for men, I knew from the beginning that I felt uncomfortable. But as usual, I ignored that feeling.
He was one of those nice guys who said all the right words, but his actions...

This Feeling
I...
am a ghost,
inhabiting these brittle bones,
wearing a suit of armour made from flesh and skin,
though it's not much good as armour.
Doesn't stop the bullets that shoot from tongues around you,
and it does naught to protect the mind.
Spinning clockwise in a counter-clockwise world around me?
That's me.
I'm lost,
somewhere between point A and point B I slip into non-existence.
I glide through a crowd like a shadow,
unnoticed,
unacknowledged.
I am the sum of all the shards of my shattered...

A Bit Player In A Wayward Dream
I sometimes wonder
Whether
I'm just a figment
Of someone else's imagination
A non-existence
A bit player, in a wayward dream
I'm only real
Because the dramer perceives me as real
Therefore, i'm left questioning my own existence
Living within another surreality
Perhaps i'm a fairy
That believes in humans
But sees them as alien creatures
My ethereal escape
With wings
To float on the breezes
Thus avoiding the tempestuous storms
That lurk within the teacups of doubt
Of the nightmarish...

In Alia's World, There's Only Darkness
How Alia Lynch would naturally react to any situation... The real reaction, not the one masking niceness.
Girl scout: "Wanna buy cookies?"
Alia: "BITCH!!! FUCK YOU!!! YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!!!! STOP PRETENDING TO BE NICE!!!" *takes the cookie box and smashes it a million times and then throws it*
Random stranger: "Hi, how are you?"
Alia: I HATE YOU!!!! I HATEEE YOUUUU!!! *takes a crow bar and strikes them a bunch of times and can't stop*
Potential lover: *gives flowers*
Alia:...

Not Dead Yet!
Today, on the last day of January, about 15 minutes ago
I felt my heart begin to slow
After palpitations, and much sweat
And lots of retching, but not finished yet
Taken aspirin, and bisoprolol heart meds
Asi sit here upon my (death) bed
Ever aware of my mortal coil
Awaiting my time beneath the soil
Had the same, only worse
Was my christmay day morning curse
I hope can understand, and clearly see
Why i didn't want to spend 'This' day at A&E
So i took my chances, and stayed in my flat
Then fell asleep, where...

Too Shut Down To Argue
Although I think for myself and am very intelligent, I'm not the type to argue with people. For me, it's absolutely pointless. Because I know what's likely to happen- I'm going to be treated like my opinion is less than theirs or that I'm too dumb to be having this conversation.
So, I rather not be in the conversation at all. If I'm going to be gaslit or have my opinion distorted, I rather find the truth out on my own. I don't trust others to tell me because people look down upon me, and those kinds of people have biases and motives that are rooted in lies and deception.

Underneath All This Confidence
Underneath all this confidence and all this self work and self love still sits a girl curling into herself. Scared about being kicked down more, being called stupid, being treated like I'll never be successful, being underestimated, being called "too young" for an intellectual conversation, being that girl who couldn't debate well in school, being that girl constantly overlooked and undervalued.
Shut down. It is the reason why I'm shut down, hate looking others in the eyes for fear there will be another soul who's trying to manipulate or backstab.
And...

how a single moment can turn into a momentum
As it often happens some people seem to only contact me during weekends.
Where as at times I cherish these short interactions. At the same time I can be in prolonged hibernation between music Inspiration, half writes that call me to their shores.
I ignore the painful sounds ready to plunge my phone into a forgotten pocket.
After a while I decide to have a peek or actually its called a scroll. I see the name of my brother who is a gardener, has a heart for nature ,the sea and knows about many facets of biology. He used to study names of birds insects, butterflies and...

Subconscious Beliefs
For the sake of my public shadow work, I am going to uncover the things I believe. Doing this, I am going to say the first thought that comes to my mind. And trust that it's leading me somewhere.
1. Fat people are disgusting and despicable. They're only jealous bitches trying to ruin my life.
2. Atheists are going to undermine me at any moment and treat me like a child. They're hypocrites just like Christians!
3. I doubt my own spiritual experiences in the name of "logic" and pleasing atheists who really don't care about me.
4....

Abide Within My Abode
at a whim, well seemingly so
i decided to maybe tidy up
my abandoned ramshackle abode
ive inherited a rug, hence this ode
(i'm making it up as i type!)
I placed it over the dull carpet
A sullen hue of magnolia
Of various shades of greeny ectoplasm
And anything that rhymes with magnolia?
(quickly googles magnolia!)
And ended up in Mongolia
At this point
I have obviously lot the plot
Inspired perhaps
By a little mead
Just a few goblets, not a lot!
(I would say that!)
As i quietly lose the plot (repetition! ...

Dear J and every other boy
You broke me. It's your fault I don't want to find love, and I don't care if you wanna take responsibility for it.
Because personally, I've moved on. Not completely. Not in the way my body stings from being underloved and undertouched.
But in the sense, that you can't really break me. Because I'm always thriving.
And no one can touch me now.
I'm in God's hands, full of pure light that will win even if I die.
I still love you, J until the end.
And perhaps, that's my biggest mistake.
But I felt safe where I felt safe,...

I Have Nothing To Lose
I read comments from The Atheist Experience Episode I was on out of curiosity. They thought I deserved to be mocked, but I find atheists' tactics to undermine me are stupid and juvenile. They think it's just a courtesy to treat me nice. No, bitch, it's an honor.
I realize truly what it means to have nothing left to lose. No one's words including theirs can truly hurt the way it used to.
Because I know how intelligent I am and how stupid they are. Where they see black and white, I see grey. I see me trusting my intuition and trusting that I know what I saw- the door...
