Hi I’m Lily. I wish to feel rather than be numb. Life is short, why would you not wish to feel the utmost possible amount of emotion. Some stuff I write turns out good, the others, well ignore them. Part of the process, right?🌷

There are so many bricks
And the charming alleys are draped
With silks and signs
Colors paint the sidewalk
A small dog is trotting the path
Snow tops it’s snubbed nose like a cherry on a sundae.
There’s the cupcake stand,
A cart with books and honey sits perched by the swings,
How perfect does that sound.
And look at the snowflakes
I can almost see them.
They whir with electric buzz,
Lighting up...
I’m dead
To the world at least
White flames ate away at me
As I screamed for help
They couldn’t save me
I was gone
I was dead
I’m dead.
You thought I was gone
That my ears were burned to ash
Well, truly your close
Try ear hairs.
I am like a vigilante
Swift and draped in dark fabric
Eyeying the night
You don’t know who I am
No one needs to.
Not anymore....
Wrapped in a present I sit,
This box is dark and cold
Trapped in this present I sit
I can’t seem to pry my legs out of the box.
The paper smells crisp and old
I’m trapped here, with my eyes watching
Waiting for the crinkly tear of freedom
I can hear it
Almost see it
Far away,
From this box.
This box has a metal handle
That twists and plays music
Joyous huh,
Not when you’re standing on it like a...
My grandmother always told me I was strong
I was an independent woman
And I could make my own way
My other grandmother always told me I was strong
That I was very smart- and I could cook
Men like that she said.
Now I do believe I’m strong
And independent
But I do want to be a mother and a wife.
I want to cook meals for my family
But I am still smart.
I think I am a balance of precepts.
When s...
It’s a kind of forbidden ache
That’s always followed me
And sometimes I think I know it
But it is wavering and shifting.
Ever changing it grabs me,
Spins me off my feet.
It loves me.
It hates me.
In the golden light you can start to see it
But it leaves me from time to time
And I wonder where it goes when it runs off.
Under the peach tree you can see it
And it is writing letters.
To people who ...
I can’t breathe
Help I can’t breathe
I’m drowning
If I stop moving I think I’ll die
My steps rhythm is the only thing keeping me grounded
Help I can’t breathe
What if I lay in the dirt
And let the decay surround me
I wonder if the leaf rot will put out the fire that’s burning in my throat
My eyes are dizzy
Help me I can’t breathe
Help me to drown my thoughts in loud sound
Help me I can’t breathe...
Closed mouths don’t get fed
You can’t get good sleep if your not in bed
Please listen when I say
The clouds will be there any day
If they weren’t so common
Would you sit and say
What beautiful God sent creatures!
With soft and powdery, puffy features
You can’t see with your soul closed
Open the door, don’t be so opposed
Would you like your heart to be full?
With memories and wonders
And love and ...
