STORY STARTER

"But in all chaos, there is calculation….”

Write a story that includes this line.

blue, dark dark dark blue

feeling safe in a space where your cuts and bruises are fresh wounded

comfort in the chaos of a bubblegum

popping in between your crooked teeth and quivering lips for you are stronger than what you’ve become

pop the bubblegum a few more times, seconds, hours, months, years even

whatever it takes your battles aren’t lonely

growing in an environment with a lion on your every move

but in all chaos, there is calculation

and it’s ringing in the deepest parts of your soft features

soft brain

soft heart

cold hearted to the ones you’ve given your body, your worth and your soul to

moonlight

moonlit

sunshine and a darkly sweet kiss

support in your eyes that twinkles with safety

your bubble is a cage, what is that you made?

love is hurt, pain, worthy of your skin and bones

your battles ending

your battles picking up again

looping

looping

looping on a never end

go far away

sway to their humming lullabies and sing the rest of the way home

your mouth is a battle

your veins are laced

give the lion killer up

the killer is chasing, falling and scratching at your face

face it, battle it and fight through it for you are more than just a killer

your killer is a waste of space and you are winning, losing, winning, losing

you won, you lost and now your steps don’t make sound

from your walking distance to your cage

how will you get out of such space?

live

love

fight your strength

your heart is burning and so are your hands

become who you love

who you are meant to be

i wish there was a pair of hazel eyes staring back into your reflection

your lover is piercing you

what will you do?

run?

hide?

lose control and step aside?

no

fight it lover

fight it

fight it

fight it

you aren’t alone in your battle

your struggles are tired

learn to accept the meaning behind the words of encouragement and let it sink into your skin like you do with blue

those aren’t enough to kill you

your armor is still shielding your fires

let it happen and then keep it in your powers

baby, you are worth more than a fire drilling your brain

it’s not a space it’s a game

win

win

win it and god damn let it scar you

because scars make your body bruised and what’s a fight without proof?

love you, love her, love you, love her, love you like you love her

and god, feel it

feel it

feelings are brain washing your beautiful brain

blues

dark

dark

dark blues

let it rain

let it flush

let it crush you and then crush it even worse

you have the power

you have the strength

your heart

heart

heartwarming brain is yours to keep

don’t hide it for the blue to gain

you own you

you won, you lost, you won, you lost

but

you

won

and you’ll win

again and again and again until your blood drains

flowing out, and an IV will make you gain your brain again

make your body a lovers guide and heal it with your scarring fire

your worth is booming

it should be on a front cover page

let it in

let it in

let it

let it in, you can do it, she knows you

you know you

you’ve done it and you’ll do it again no matter how many times you tumble and fall

she’ll be there

they’ll be there to catch you when you fall

when your bones ache and your body is burning

they’ve got the water so let it soak you

you

will

win this willingly and you’ll love it, you’ll love it, you’ll love it like you love you

she sees you

she’s piercing

piercing

piercing your eyes and the flames get higher and it’ll become your new addiction

you will beat the killer lion, the devil folding you, holding you, destroying, tearing, killing you sweetly and deeply and making love to your brain

it’s a lie

it’s all a lie

you cannot love yourself if you are a constant dark,

dark, dark blue

you are a human being with flaws crying out your name

let it

cradle it

love you, love her, love you, love her

love you, please love you

one day you’ll see it the way you were meant to it just may not be time yet

but you’ll find it

your peace, you’ll find it

and you will fight it even if it means your running breath is shaking in your fiber being

you won

now keep it to yourself and you will soon find

that you made it through a thunder storm and guess your way back home
