The Faithful Shadow

 The first thought that visits me upon waking

always arrives uninvited yet never late.
It likes to sit beside my bed in silence and wait.

Solitude - his name as old as time
a faithful shadow by my side.
I claim I need no other presence,
no louder laugh, no second chair.

Yet I confess: these repeated, colorless mornings
leave a bitter taste by nighttime
like medicine for a fever of head
and just before sleep takes me
a quiet wish takes birth

that this welcoming darkness may finally keep me,
so I would not have to wake to greet
that guest yet again.


P.S: contest.

 I'm so tired... I know I always say that. But if I'm being honest, I don't know any other sentence or combination of words to express those feelings I'm always feeling. I had a good cry today, but it's left me feeling drained, and yet I wasn't able to let all of my tears out, so now I feel like crying, but I'm too exhausted to. Yesterday I went over to my friend's place, and I wanted to tell her about my shit, but she was too bright and chipper. I didn't want to ruin her mood, so I didn't. Now I'm sitting here regretting not letting it all out because I feel my metaphorical bottle overflowing slowly.

monthly rant

  So update: shit did indeed get worse...i relapsed again AND i know i say this all the time and every time i try not to pull again but i fail obviously and this time i think its worse than it ever was before or i guess so...im forgetting so easily these days like bruh i dont even remember what happened last week..the days are turning into a big blur...and yes ik its not healthy BUT on the bright side...i actually found something i feel relaxed while doing it....sketching. It actually started with reading mangas and watching anime, then i started drawing my fav characters from the said manga- yup, Jujutsu Kaisen- and now im obsessed. So yeah. BUT again since i actually liked it and wanted to do more but it is starting to feel like a chore so nowim kinda lacking motivation there too, cant draw at home, the little brat i have as a sibling who keeps telling on me (i dont want unnecessary attention) and at school i barely get time ugh. but back on the topic, I CANT FREAKING STOP PULLIN...

Empires In My Eyes

  These almond eyes, kind of dreamy you'd think I was sleepy They see everything; they hide nothing. These eyes, the mysteries they hold when cared for, are a sight to behold So small, they might seem look carefully, you'll see the oceans gleam. Lashes thick and long pulling you in like a siren's song Stare into my eyes; I'll show you heavenly skies. The darkest of brown hard to detect, however, is it's black crown My eyes are my favorite part, so I pay homage, work of art.  Not for how they make you feel  but for all the truths they still conceal. P.S: also fr a contest.
