Home Life

Hate envelopes me every time
they open their mouths to speak.
I can't tell which has more heat;
their hate of me or my hate of myself.

A desperate plea runs through my
veins along side my blood and
other vital fluids. It begs me to flee,
it asks me to leave this place.

If only I could grant its wish.

19 and nothing

My wounds become a little deeper every day,

The fear of being nothing more unbearable than ever.

May today be the day of change.
May today be the day I change.

Wind?

Is it really so awful, the wind?
It's haunting howls give me peace.

As it goes from town to town ripping
up the earth and flinging it into
the air, I can't help but wonder,
when or where does it stop?

Does it eventually swindle into
nothing but a breath or does it
just stop so abrupt, we wonder if
God himself had shut the lid?

I love the wind. It rips me about
whipping my hair in my face until
my eyes water and my nose
bleeds. It picks me up and asks
me if I'd like to fly.

But I always say no and go inside.

Alone
          Without
                        Any
                                Air.
Without any wind.

Memories

Haiku 1:

Joyful mid-day rays,
Beam into the ocean's surface,
stirring up old dust.

Haiku 2:

The cool silky breeze
With ghostly moths one spring night,
Reawakening the past.

The Wild in Me

The elephants stomp straight
across my heart, throwing off the
poachers. Who are on the quest to
capture precious ivory tusks.

Even then the bandits
steal the rubies from
my treasure chest. They
gloat with an incurable glee.

It won't be long until
I'm a vast empty nothingness.
The ghosts will still visit me,
they scare away the flies.

It doesn't matter that people leave.
I'll find myself again in the ocean
I'll linger for a moment
With sea glass of every color.

Or be in a rain forest
with florescent frogs and snakes.
The wild birds will stay,
and bury me with star-gazer lilies.

Monkeys will braid my hair and
Lions will wash my face with rose-oil.
I'll be a goddess forever and ever,
in the infinity of now.

Life as of 1-22-12

Dear Voldemort, 

Well, I've started the Body for Life program this past week and have lost ten-eight pounds! I'm kind of excited about it but I haven't told anyone. I kind of want it to be a surprise, you know? I haven't been as hungry as I thought I would be and I've been feeling really great this past week. 

I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, well, basically just thinking a lot today. I don't know what I want to do! Sure college is good for now but I want to travel! I want to live in Paris and speak French and...be french. I am a quarter French...doesn't that count? I do want to travel all over though, not just  to Paris. But I'm scarred that I won't be able to. Want to know the reason why? Message me. I'll tell you all about it. 

I'm scarred about writing too. I'm afraid that it won't be a suitable career and that I won't be able to take care of my mother. What would you have me do? I don't know. Sometimes I yearn for the life of having everything planned out for me so I don't have to make any decisions. Not very American of me, aye? 

I've been crying through movies a lot too. Last night I watched The Guardian  with Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner. Gosh, I love that movie! It makes me bawl like a friggin' baby though! Oh, and the night before, I watched Letters to Juliet with Amanda Seyfried. I love that movie. It's so cute and it makes me cry too. I'm kind of a hopeless romantic. I wish it just wasn't so hopeless. 

Well, it's 1:30 AM and I'm going to bed. Good night, Voldy. 

<3

My Untimely Demise: I've Always Wanted to be an Astronaut

The cold black atmosphere's nothingness
presses against my lungs; but I've been here before.
 It is not a welcoming place.  The sun is nothing but
 a small dot on the horizon, and your eyes are fading
 from my memory. I'm beginning to forgive you
 for your ignorance.

 Even though I can feel my life source leak from my suit,
 I can almost feel peace. You're doing what you were always
 going to, and still I'm lost in the universe.  I don't remember
what you smell like anymore and the sound of your voice slips
 from my mind  a little more everyday.

 My body is starting to shake and my trembling hands search
 for something to hold onto, but all they grasp is the nothing.
I remember when I first forgot you.  It was when I became
 friends with him, and he was so gentle. It makes me chuckle,
even in my inevitable end.  He's so much better than you'll ever be.

 Though he's learning about manhood, I know he'll be a great one.
My chest is starting to seize. The pain is unbearable.  I love the
softness of his voice, and his commanding attention. He'll never
 be as handsome as you, but maybe that's why I need him.

 My death is coming so slow, my patience is slipping. Something
just keeps whispering, "Hold on, he's coming." But I know he's not.
 He knows our love is forbidden.  And he's smarter than I am.
He'll listen to what I didn't. They won't cast him out.
You wish they would, don't you?

 My last breath fogs up the glass on my helmet,  and a tear
 rolls down my cheek. A final pain in my chest, oh it hurts so bad!
 My heart and mind are screaming his name.
 Another tear slips onto my cold cheek.

 The only thing that plagues my mind is you.
Why do you have this hold on me? I wished to die peacefully,
but you even had to take that.
 What's that? A shooting star? No. Too small,
and it's headed straight for my lifeless body.

It's starting to take shape in my eyes and realization comes to me.
It's him.  I shout at him, leave! Celestial tears pouring down
 my face, I don't want him to see me this way!
 Remember who I was! Please leave, I beg him.
 But he doesn't. 

My celestial being turns and hides its agony. If only
I couldn't feel his own.
I turn and see him, floating by my corpse. He's too late.

His gloved hands fumble with the clasp on my suit,
trying his hardest to get it open. I stifle a scream as
my golden hair spills out. He bows his head.  I can see
the drops landing in a small pool. His hands clench
a fistful of my hair as he pulls my small form into his arms.

 A plea of forgiveness comes from him.
He has to know it wasn't his fault!
 His body starts to twitch but he holds on
 to me steadfast; whispers of lost love tickle
my deaf ears softly.  My glowing form was invisible
 to his mortal eye but how I wished to feel his touch again!

My arms hug me as I fall to my knees.  I'm surrounded
 by rapturous light, and someone whispers, "You'll see him again."
 Jeering tears fall from my body in his hands,
and I'm becoming envious of my own lifeless remains.
 A wicked smile creeps on my cold lips,  I can feel insanity
 start to tantalize me again. As he looks up, my face is just as it was.
Not peaceful, not in agony. Just still. "Please don't go" he whispers.

Fierce determination takes over my mind and
I know I'll do whatever I must to get back to him.
With one last glance at the face I love so much,
I turn around and walk straight into the light,
not seeing him plunge the knife into his stomach...

I blame it all on you.

Your cowardice and weakness killed us both.
 Ex-lovers always do seek revenge.
You sick bastard.
