Nyx vs. Bubble

Nyx

Trapped in a bubble

Somehow


All she has

Is a paperclip

The same one she survived the Hunger Games with (iykyk)


Should Nyx…

A. Pop the bubble

B. Sit there and play with the paperclip

Or

C. Eat the paperclip


The right answer is…

B

Nyx sat down in the bubble

And started bending the clip

She made a spiral

A bow

A line

And then…


_POP_


Nyx dropped the paperclip

And the bubble popped


She fell...

Bubble

Here I am yet again,

Trapped in this bubble of negativity.

The thoughts inside this bubble

Are enough to drive one insane,

Yet still I resist

The urge

To pop it

And fall to the ground

And die.

Until one comment says

Just do it, nobody cares about you,

There can be no one else in this bubble

It’s just you and you alone

You will never find someone for you

So now these thoughts

Pop the bubble by itse...

It’s My Decision ļæ¼

It is, what it is. Because, that’s ALL that there is.I chose to live this way. i’m no stranger too loneliness...

Weightlessness

Weightlessness consumes my pulsing thoughts

I’m irrelevant now

Like a speck of dust


The magic, it worked

No longer feel hurt

I’m ready this time, I quietly quirk


Liberation rises and swells into me

I can’t believe, I thought

I’m finally free


The gawking and jeering shrivels and dies

As I float to the heavens and into the light


I drift and I drift until I stop

To realize this was all for nau...

My Bubble

I’m tiny and short

Only three inches

Wings so fragile

One touch can brake them

Alone in my bubble

Where it is safe

The life of a water fairy

Simple and full of bliss...

Faith Found In A Bubble 🫧

The man,

He seeks shelter,

Lurking around a church,

In a bubble,

Family gone,

Cold and alone,

Puffing on his cigarette,

Praying for a home,

He's in debt,

He prays for money to come,

So he can buy drugs,

Drugs that make him go numb,

But the Lord understands him,

Only God knows where he’s from,

The man,

He sits in his bubble,

Always fazed by everyone,

But the right one,

He understan...

Connection

With the clicking sound

of high-heeled footsteps

Down the busy sidewalk,

She exudes confidence

With her correct posture

And perfect messy bun,


Her beauty is unmatched,

The kind that intimidates men,

And makes women jealous,


Alone she stays in her bubble,

A self-created paradise

That is also a prison,

Wanting to connect with

Anyone,

Anyone,


Any soul willing to reach out

And align t...

My Safety Bubble

Focus on yourself

Healing all of your deepest scars,

Build yourself back up


Repair all the pain people have caused you

Stay in your own bubble

Reach out when needed,


But

Remember


If you stay in that safe bubble

You create,

You are in control

Of any pain that comes your way....

In my bubble

I stay inside

All day and all night

Rather loney

Dont you think?

My house a bubble

No one else can enter

But I can’t leave either

I sit upon the ground

Wondering and wishing

For a friend

But to exit is for the bubble to pop

To enter is a great disaster

So I stay in all day and all night

In my bubble...

I Am Decaying

I am _decaying_.

Deteimental deception, there is no escape.

Stick in these silent systemic walls.

I am decaying.

Pick up, light up, put down.

Pick up, light up, put down.

I am _decaying_.

The outside is visible; its beauty is calling to me.

Nature arousing within me; it remains elusively beyond.

I am _decaying_.

Why have I chosen this for myself?

When will my waining body will itself out?...
