I have one job in my life

And that is to be loyal

To the woman who bought me

She makes me do chores

But I don’t mind that

That’s what she bought me for

So that’s what I do with love

I know I shouldn’t

But I like to think we’re friends

She has the kindest words

And always thanks me

When I’m done with my work

It makes me feel appreciated

Like I’m more to her

Than just a robot servant

I want ...

I feel no connection

To all my friends

My family

Not to anyone

Who shows affection

I feel alone and isolated

I can hear the love

The cheers

The forgiveness

Of the hated

I sense and see

That people care

They worry

And want me

To be happy

But I am stuck

In my own world

Surrounded by a bubble

Of numbness

And bad luck

I want my bubble to pop

But I’m scared

And hesitant

Of what happens

When it...

My best friend texted me

Announcing some great news

Squealing with excitement

She showed me her

Babyfilled ultrasound views

I knew that she was happy

As I should have been too

Talking to my mother

She told me about her cruise

How my dad and her

Would see the fjords and

Enjoy the pretty views

I knew that she was happy

As I should have been too

Seeing all my friends from highschool

Who are all...

Come with me you said

That sunny day in August

We were young and most of all

Unknowing and unaware

Of what life would be like

What life would bring

I came with you

That sunny day in August

I was absolutely smitten

And most of all in love

With the way life was going

And I didn’t know it yet then

But I was in love with you

That sunny day in August

You made me promise you

That we would always

Be...

I wasn’t sad you know

Or lonely necessarily

I was just-

Alone

And that was okay for me

I had a comfy chair I could sit on all day

I had books I could read for hours on end

I had me and my thoughts and feelings

And I was okay

I also wasn’t happy

Nor did I have much fun

I was just-

Existing

And I was okay with that

But then I finished my book

And as I closed it

So did the sun

——

I had nev...

She asked me what it felt like

How a girl like me

so chaotically full of life

Could survive with a brain so

Similar to a wildfire

I answered with the flames

Spewing from my brain

All going their separate ways

I couldn’t finish what I wanted to say

As she knew the chaos that next came

A thousand words and a thousand thoughts

She cried and cried and then she laughed

I forget to answer what sh...

Marianne opened her eyes, still half asleep she felt peaceful, and calm, like she was still on the beach she had dreamed about. She turned her head to the right and smiled when she saw the back of her best friends head. She felt so lucky she had such an amazing friend that loved sleeping over just as much as Marianne did. It hadn’t always been like this, as Marianne had only met her friend fairly ...

Bought by a father for his loving wife

Worn with pride by a mother for all her life

And then when mother died

It was passed down to the daughter -

Now a bride

Only she, filled with too much grief and pain

Couldn’t set herself to wearing it

So when the time came

She passed it on again

To a daughter of the family once more

But the granddaughter had no interest

As she believed she was not blessed

...

She didn’t want to be here for the slightest bit and she wouldn’t have, hadn’t it been for all the lies she told her best friend Lisa.

‘Of course I’d love to go! I’d love to see everyone again’

‘No ofcourse I’m over him, don’t worry about that’

‘I promise I’m fine, it’ll be fun!’

But she wasn’t fine and she definitely wasn’t over him. Even the thought of seeing him again made her anger rise insid...

Sweat

Like the sweat I’m met

With every time I’m anxious

When people ask me anything

I can hear the blood

Make ears ring

I can feel my cheeks reddening

I can feel my words leaving

My mind goes blank

And I sink until I sank

To the bottom

Of my embarrassment

I want to leave

But in that moment

I even forgot that I need to breathe

So I stop

I sweat

I’m silent

-

At least on the outside

It’s chaos...
