How To Talk To The Deaf

Lexy

1 min read

The echoes of a heart pounding, hands clapping, eyes crying, feet tapping. The sound of fighting in the street. The laughter that makes my stomach hurt. What will my life be without it? What will my life be without the music that enters my system? What will my life be without the reassurance I much need? Will your kind hands caress my face when I can’t hear any compliments? Will a hug erase my col...

The Beauty Of Being Asleep

Means I’m no longer fighting

The thoughts in my head

The projector in my brain

Replaying my mistakes and regrets

The guilt and shame of my past

Still keeps me awake at night...

When The Sky Meets The Ground

Birds circled overhead , and they cannot be shoot with a gun , or trapped in a cage. These birds follow my mind and soul around, they don’t need a leash, neither holding onto my bones. I can feel them, but they’re not here to be seen. Birds circled overhead, they do not make sharp sounds, neither they stay quiet. I can hear them saying something way more far from the tongue and throat. A daily rem...

The Sun

The way your face

Lights up the room

When you see me enter it

You drop whatever’s in your hands

To run and greet me like I’m the sun

I am your sun

But you are my son

You light up my heart and world...

Donnie rolled his eyes. "Scoff. Always with the Hawaiian."

Leo swallowed. "Shut up, it's good and you weren't here to say otherwise."

Donnie folded his arms and pointedly looked away. Leo just finished the slice he was on and grabbed another. Donnie glanced at him from time to time, but mostly glared at the table.

Okay, Leo had had enough.

I am the fork in the resteraunt

Waiting for everyone to realize

They’ve already eaten off me

I am the shadow behind eyes

That comes out to live

When light is hidden behind iris curtains

I am the banks foreclosure

On a perfectly happy home

I am the god of an evil

That rots when it grows

I am the deal that is brokered

I am

The promise it will break

I am the tick that will bite

When you lo...

Return

Birds circled overhead. I didn’t look up to see them, but I heard their flapping and their calls. I knew they’d come. I wanted them here.

My hands grasped my knees, legs folded on the green grass of the hilltop. From below, my clan looked up, first at me and then at the birds, knowing what was coming. Scents of boiling pots and cooking vegetables flowed from the camp, yet I wanted none of the fo...

Knowing how short this life be,

should give us all perspective.

So we can see,

be more protective.

Of what,

we.

Are and,

have this shot.

At being truly free,

we are just grains of,

Tiny sand in this eternal hourglass.

...

this was an experiment.

i love you Baby
