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...

I was young. That’s all it was I think. I wasn’t ill or mentally out of it or just simply weird. I was young and when you’re young, things feel intense. I’m sure you all remember that intense feeling of anger and jealousy you felt as a kid, seeing your sibling getting ice cream while you didn’t. I’m sure you all remember that intense sense of injustice that you felt was done to you in that moment....
