XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

She/Her…Hopelessly romantic, poetically rejected, ADHD infested 💘 (You should go follow: Mialoo, Hollow Oaks, M., Your Local Crayon 🖍️ & MusefulHeart🫀) Sometimes I write gender equality stuffs; all of the time I write depressing stuffs. It’s normal.

The Fog

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

1 min read

We’re back in Mississippi,

but I’ve never wanted to be here.

There’s rain everywhere,

and I feel like I’m drowning in the ocean.

A hurricane, or even a tropical storm,

rages around me, but I’m in the eye,

so, I have to be fine, isn’t that right?

Because I’m not being destroyed.

But the eye of the storm can be worse,

because you never know when the walls

will crumble and send you into your demise...

Letters I Will Never Send

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

Dear T,

I only became friends with you this year, but dang- you destroyed me. You didn’t mean to. I know you didn’t. You still act like my friend, and that’s far worse than the ghosting you’ve been doing just the same. This year, I’ve questioned my friendship with you a multitude of times; it’s not even funny. And yet, I always manage to walk over to you, try to talk to you- even though you shut ...

Uh- metaphorical twist on prompt… warning: SH.

“I never had friends, but now I have you,” I mumbled with a small smile, glancing up from beneath my eyelashes.

The girls grinned in response, Sadie throwing her pillow at me with a, “You always will,” and Danny laughing with a, “No matter what.”

They always finished each other’s sentences.

I wanted to be a part of that, and I guess I did what...

I wanted to be normal,

I wanted it so bad,

I wanted to be wind in Oklahoma,

the soda in drive-thru,

the movies in the theater,

the red-dirt in the country.

But I was like red dirt

in Colorado & Michigan,

wind in Toronto, Canada.

Like ice cream in the winter,

hot cocoa in the summer.

I wanted to be normal,

so much, that if desires

were dull flames, barely lit,

I would still be a wildfire.

“WDYT” Dialogue Exchange

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

This is a dialogue exchange for a story I’m working on. [Story tagline: “Nobody ever thought ‘second chances’ would start a war. Everyone was wrong. _So_ wrong.”]

D -> (Sebastian) Denver Hyde

M -> Matin Ripley

H -> Harlow Elyse

D: “We’re a group, we’re _Chancers_. Are you?”

M: “I’m- I’m not quite sure. I heard about this just yesterday-”

D: “Being a Chancer is a blood pact. If you don’t int...

She punched the bag. _Hard_.

After a class workout, everyone had been assigned to the punching bags, and yet…

She had no reaction.

She usually did.

Her face was usually red, her breathing usually haywire. She usually complained to her friends in a stage whisper.

But she didn’t.

Her eyes were focused on the bag.

Her punches grew weaker, weaker, and weaker, and when she was done, her eyes wer...

When I look over at you,

you’re already smiling at me.

I can’t help but freak out-

I want you to like me,

but if you do,

you’ll only be let down.

I’m not your soulmate-

not your best friend.

I don’t take away your frown.

I’ll only let you down.

Instead of admitting,

that I have a silly, stupid crush,

the moment he shows the signs,

I don’t look at him, but I blush,

I refuse to talk to him,

I don’...

But You Did 🎶

(written like a song, inspired by BagelRat’s writing, “Skinny.”)

Teacher says, “partner up.”

I look, and there’s four of us,

all friends with each other.

She said, “only one group of three.”

And yet,

somehow,

some way,

you decided to be that.

you decided to be without me.

without me,

what did I do, did I scream at you?

did I beat you until you cried?

did I stomp on your shoes?

did I ever lie?

The walls around my heart,

they pound and pound and murmur.

They beat, trill, screech, scream-

they wobble, but they do not fall.

On the other side of the walls

awaits an opponent of skill.

She’s orange and thin,

she’s the most terrifying;

she ruptures organs, breaks skin,

but she never touches a thing.

She invades my mind,

while she overtakes my heart,

and I just let it happen.

She whispers i...

His Laughter

XOXO, Z A I N 🩵

[the simile in the first stanza, referring to ‘wine’ has nothing to do with anything in real life. I promise, to those who know my age or the basic basis of my age, I have not and will not underage dr!nk. Just getting that clear because after I reread this, I noticed that someone might take that the wrong way.]

His laughter was my sunshine,

the reason I tried so hard.

I was never really funny,...
