Was there ever light?

lesa

1 min read

Dark. Hollow. Where's the light? I don't think there ever was light. A wave of sadness, grief, emptiness, or whatever it is, passes through my body. I feel it in every bone, organ, through my nervous system to my brain. I'm drowning again.

I've signed up for dance classes; why did I do that again? Have I forgotten about my aching bones and lack of motivation? The sky is ugly blue, sun blinding m...

Hold me

Take my hand, please

Guide me out of the real

It isn't your turn, you say

But I've been drowning for too long

Take my hand, please

The pain doesn't matter

Only the destination does

Dreams of you

Take my hand, please

The wooden chair is weak and the noose is tight

It won't hold me for long

Hold me,

Death. ...

This is for the ones that still look for the child inside them

This is for the ones that move even if their bones ache

This is for the ones that grieve their life as they live

This is for the ones that run from their past but turn to it whenever the present isn't kind

This is for the ones that were too young to comprehend

This is for the ones that are too old to care

This is for the ones tha...

Where does he live?

"he WHAT?" I blurt out, nails digging into the bed sheets. My other half looks away, biting her green polished nails. I’m sure I’ve never felt this level of hate and violence before, and I suddenly understand why people commit murder. I breathe deeply as I attempt to calm down, but my tight jaw and wide enraged eyes betray my internal conflict.

A man, or rather I say monster, had the audacity to ...

as you battle your own agonizing mind

stuck in that familiar hollow bed

your dry skin against the soft silk sheets

you’re back there again

stuck in that familiar hollow bed

your dry skin against the soft silk sheets

the rash deepens as you weep

you’re back there again

your dry skin against the soft silk sheets

the rash deepens as you weep

tears dance along

the sombre song you played for the last...

"Have you heard of all the horrifying killings recently?"

"How can I not, it’s been all over the place. Honestly, it gives me the creeps. No wonder people stay in." I say, massaging my stiff temples as I lean on the door frame. The lady I bumped into is my building’s lovely nurse. My gaze runs over her face down her body, as if she was the most precious artifact my eyes set on.

_God, she's stunni...

You tighten the noose around my neck until I'm out of breath.

Yet, I help you tighten it even more.

Yet, I'm grateful for the air that enters my black lungs.

Yet, I always come back to you.

You cut my skin and let it bleed out.

Yet, I apologize for letting it drop on your dry carpet.

Yet, I let you kiss the scars you carved.

Yet, I always come back to you.

As you tighten the noose, I won...

A new shining star

Another sleepless night.

I watch the city lights from my open window, taking the time to feel the wind caressing my naked body and the moonlight’s soft glow grazing my long dark hair.

Tonight is different.

Tonight, I am free.

Free from your expectations, free from your thoughts, free from myself.

I am not afraid.

The stars welcome me. Tonight, I will shine again.

I stand up and walk to the...

She was dead before she hit the ground.

I look at the deceiver, my eyes reflecting her snapping neck. The sound echoes endlessly in my mind.

My soul is ripped and my heart shattered. Why does it hurt so much?

I should be relieved. Happy. **Thankful**.

She betrayed me and stabbed my back god knows how many times.

Still, I feel my entire being dying with her.

As her lifeless body falls on the...

It’s move-in day! Dad got me this diary for my birthday and I guess it’s time to use it. He wrote, I quote, "_For my dearest daughter Avery, I love you very much_."

I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life : moving out from my parent’s place! No more rules or tip-toeing out of the house, lol.

It's time.
