Writings
Wishes, whispers, wonders.
I wish for a day Where everything felt normal I wish for a day Where My brain would work I wish for a day In which my hody wouldnt hurt I wish for a day Where Nothing felt horrible
I blow out the candles And send my wishes to the wind
I whisper about A life thats changed I whisper about A life that wasnt the same I whisper About dreams and desires I whisper about A gleaming perfection
I blow out the candles and send my whispers to the wind
I wonder about what people think I wonder about Why i always sink I wonder about The life I was given I woneer about The life up in heaven
I blow out the candlea And send my wonders to the wind
Whispers on the wind
cold and dull
warm and sun
listening closely
like a voice from your soul
calling for you too come back
always keeping you near
close by
guarding you
but you leave still
and everything goes away
more shades of gray than expected
sadness fills your lungs
you canāt breathe
your heart aches for more
but youāre standing still
waiting for a miracle
The whispers in the wind ruffled the fur of the quiet dog sitting on the front porch of his late ownerās house. The sun had begin to come up behind the light grey winter clouds, but he kept his head low on his front paws, wondering what he was to do with his life now that his Sami was gone. The house had been empty of humans the last couple of days. Someone passed by yesterday, maybe, to put some food in his bowl and water, but really there was no need. He was not going to eat them anyway.
A white and black nosy pigeon creeped along the ledge of the perch, like it did every morning to check on the news of the house. He lifted his eyes slightly to watch it hop across the white wooden floor, but couldnāt be bothered to move any further. It stared at him, found him to be harmless, and then began to eat any crumbs he could find across the porch.
Sami loved to eat chips with his beer outside at night. The bird must be eating what remained of those crispy potatoes he liked. A whimper edged through his large dark brown body, a body that birds used to fear while he crossed the lawn for his morning run. But he couldnāt be bothered by that anymore. The wind whispered once again. His ears twitched because he felt like he heard his name being called again. āMannie! Come on boy. We need to go.ā
A sudden hope involuntarily moved his tail slightly back and forth.
He heard the sound again, āMannie!ā It seemed to be coming across the front yard, past the yellow rose bushes where he often hid his treats. He shook off his endless tiredness and move towards the sound that seemed to be echoing further away.
The wind drew him to the road leading away from the house, towards the distant green hills. Maybe Sami was not gone at all. Maybe he was waiting for him, where the wind whispered. Wagging his tail excitedly, Mannie followed.
Are you still mad? Am I? I canāt remember One minute I was tucked into your bed The next, I was walking into cold December
November was a concrete slab tied to my foot as I jumped off the pier October and September I tried swimming on my own Treading mud, a shark fin Slicing through fear
I tighten my scarf and lose my breath As your harsh words pluck the trees bare Tangle my hair, redden my cheeks The āI love yousā and the āfuck yousā Fall like acorns at my feet
(Why is the prompt whispers āon ā the wind ig you couldnāt be in the wind either but Iād take that over on wind how tf could whispers even be āonā wind whatever I hope you enjoy)
The suns comin down I got a sick feelin itās gonna happen again When night falls I turn into a beast and I slaughter the lamb I lost my will when they tightened the chains Iām trained to kill like a dog in a cage Whispers in the wind tell me Iāll never escape (Youāll never escape ) Get out of my head Get out of my head
Suns coming up And It still feels like hell I broke all the mirrors I donāt like looking at myself Iām really trying trying But lately it feels like nothing helps My minds a prison And Iām locked up in a cell
I lost my will when they tightened the chains Iām trained to kill like a dog in a cage Whispers in the wind tell me Iāll never escape Whispers in the wind tell me Iāll never escape (Youāll never escape ) Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head Get out of my head
(Guitar solo or something )
My heart is aching; Shedding tears of pain. Where are you? I need you. I scream your name Again and again. Wretched cries In the dead of night. I miss you so much; If I had wings Iād take flight. High into the heavens Iād quickly ascend. To hear your sweet voice Like whispers on the wind.
Itās sad Itās sad that weāre forced to have this anger in our blood In our bones
This irritability It over takes us
And Iām not judging that Iām not saying that I donāt understand Because I do I have that anger too
But I hope thatās not the only thing you see when you look onto the world Onto the earth Because thereās so much more than that
People are beautiful With complex lives And complex dreams
Every person you see has a life Hopes A past And a future
And the reality of this life is Weāre all just trying our best Weāre all just getting by
But I hope More than anything That you see the beauty That you see how the earth Is filled with love We just have to be open to it
ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ ā¢ Not the prompt but thatās ok. Iām safe from the hurricane and have power back already! I really wasnāt expecting it back so soon. I hope you all are staying safe. š
(Authors note: I hate the way I wrote this. Please donāt cringe <3)
The whispers on the wind beckon me closer, wrapping their fingers around my wrist and gently drag me along.
They lead me down a winding path filled with thorns and wild beasts, scrapping my skin, leaving me dripping blood behind.
They voice my darkest fears, shattering my thoughts into countless fragments. But I fight against their once gentle grip. I try to not collapse and scream into the void.
Yet, despite my resistance, I find myself listening. Knowing deep within that their words ring true.
Because somewhere in all the light that I exude, Thereās a darkness at my core. And thatās the most painful truth of all.
āFake, fake, fakeā she whispers I know iām not IāM the OG bakelieber I heard through the grapevine that Now she canāt even post Thank god for thatā¦ā¦ Sheās threatened to report me But thatās just whispers in the wind IMAGINE getting suspended over JB and JB haha COULDNāT BE MEāŗļø errol of the sea Iām.coming.for.you xoxo I whisper to you, ābe carefulāšššš
