For me,

darkness is like light.

I come out when it's late,

for I can see in the night.

I coo and I cry—

no one can hear me.

I am different, strange,

perched high in the tree.

My head spins around,

my perception is wrong.

Black becomes white,

I don't belong.

People say I'm wise—

and they are correct.

I know what they're thinking.

I am a reject.

You, Me, Our Past, And The Revolver….

Juliana Burbank

The bright sun hung in the sky without shame today. It was something I could not do. I was like the sun when it hid behind a cloud, hoping nobody spotted it. But of course, they had, with their gaze like an eagle's and their mind as sharp as an owl’s.

The last few days had been uneventful, except for the whispers in my head, relentless and maddening.

I looked out onto the scarce street, wary. I...

Note: Part 2 of Unexpected Induction (Brynlee, this is per your request 🫶🏼) So um… this isn’t much, but… yeah. I might do another scene, if someone asks.

I hear a gasp & turn.

“Luna! You look-“ my bf sweeps his eyes over me, his pupils near dilating to completely black. “Stunning.”

I blush under his gaze. “Thank you.”

His eyes dart from my wings to my dress to my eyes, around the room, ba...

Fate: My Spiraling Thoughts

Luna Moon✨🌙

Fate is real.

I do believe that now.

Fate is real, or I would not be in this situation, despite overthinking everything & almost manipulating any potential factor before I decided to let everything just play out.

Fate led me to my current dilemma.

So here’s a poem for you:

Fate speaks

I close my ears

I close my eyes

I cannot hear

What it wants to say

It can ruin my mood

Or make my day

Silence

Tenshi

If only this world had shown me a little more mercy,

I wouldn’t have had to smile through lies,

pretend love didn’t hurt—

swallow words I should have let out.

They said I had everything—

but no one saw how lonely it felt,

I was surrounded by faces,

that only wanted pieces of me.

I gave and gave,

until there was nothing left.

And when I finally needed someone,

only silence awaited me.

If only t...

I look in the mirror a small girl stands there her big soft brown eyes looking up at me as if i was an angel with a broken wing

“Who are you” i ask sounding shaky

“I’m you” she replys in a honeyed voice

I take a step back and then another and a few more she steps forward so we are a foot apart.

I crouch down, the ground feeling rough under my feet we are at eye level now taking in every detail of...

Her Favorite Flower(poem)

Anne

1 min read

As we walked through the gardens

Something caught her eyelids

It was simple yet little

Her eyes glowed with loads of giggles

It was a poppy flower yet I couldn’t stop staring at her seen desires

She sniffed it as the wind drifted

She stared at it with care

Reminded me of our first interaction

Just like her fast attraction

Her favorite flower poppy

With her seen desires...

When I was a girl I realized that I wasn’t like everyone else. I saw things differently, and because of this I was made a demonstration. A way to show people what not to be like. They made sure to make me feel alien towards everyone else. I was five when it started and it solidified me at too young of an age making me cut off from what other felt so easily. I was incapacitated and because of this ...
