Pain.

I turn over & wake to pain

There’s a buzzing in my ear,

A stabbing pain that’s in my ear

I can’t get rid of it.

I curl up, press my hand to my ear & hold it

Wish it to go away

It stays.

I want to cry

I want to stay curled up

I get up

I go to my parents’ room

Go to my dad’s side

Wake him up

Curl up next to him under the blanket

The warmth of his body provides my shivering one w/ enough hea...

My stomach is rumbling.

Well, it’s almost always rumbling, but right now it’s rumbling a little more than usual.

I somehow let my younger brother, Jace, convince me not to take the tesserae this time, if for nothing but to make him smile a little bit. Not that it matters, anyways. My name is in 27 times today. I would put it in one hundred more times if it meant I could keep J...

The First Morning After

Gabs😜

Like sand through a seive, her hands brush through my hair. The movement is swift, easy, with no knots tugging at my scalp. For my first morning after, I never expected such warmth, nor did I expect her hands to be so cold. But it was easy to pay no mind.

“I’m not hurting you, am I, Lilly?” Ophelia asks gently. Sleep still weighs against her, but the reparative task of brushing out the many knot...

Fingers SLAM—

Down on the screen.

Texts fly by

Past serious eyes.

Huff

Sigh

Legs swing

Under the kitchen

table.

Like a seesaw

Sweat drops glistening—

Down

A forehead.

Sun

Behind

The shades.

Phone in hand.

Gripping tight.

Count—

To three.

Before

Relying.

But only make

I’ve got a thing

Depression,

Unbearable anxiety,

Bottled up rage.

I turned to

Pills

To keep me sane.

She’s at my window. She knows I can’t come out. This makes it all the more annoying.

I open my window. “Claira,” I start, “you know just how well this places’ security is. You can’t just walk up to the window and say ‘Hey, let this idiot out of the room.’ That’s not how scientific research facilities work.”

“What kind of research are they even doing? It seems like they’re torturing you or someth...

I look at him from across the battle field. His eyes are filled with rage but when he meets my gaze.. they soften somehow. When he looks at me I feel the battle pause. We look at each other like the battle isn't even surrounding us at the moment. Then I see a shift in his expression, somthing almost like sudden panic. Then I feel it. It hits me hard and rough, I fall to the ground. I scream out in...
