monster that doesn’t know that it’s a monster because it’s never seen its own reflection, doesn’t understand why it’s feared. lonely creature only trying to love and be loved but it’s clumsy and doesn’t realize its power, doesn’t know it’s different. why don’t you love me. why are you scared of me. i’m just like you

HEARTBEAT
She’s cold and chilling to the bone
Hollow inside and out
Airy and spacious
She keeps my heart slow
Awake I am
But drowsy eyelids blink and blink
I am in a poisonous trap,
A smooth rhythm that is coming to an end.
Harmonious, a voice so sweet to the ears.
An unforgettable smile, diamond eyes.
She keeps my heart warm that the sun is jealous
Of her.
Come on now,
Don’t you know any better than to be messing with fate?
Tick, tick, tick.
Time ignores your presence, it has no hold on you.
You don’t believe in destiny.
Now it’s time to make the change.
Happy STS! ♥️ You can go back in time and give yourself one piece of writing advice. What is it?
If I could go back in time and give myself one piece of writing advice, it would have to be “Don’t compare yourself to other writers and go at your own pace.” I often feel like I shouldn’t even refer to myself as a writer but hearing this advice has really helped my confidence and understand that everyone is different and I should be happy to refer to myself as a writer.
KNITTED2
Boy you are caught in the threads of your own
Thoughts.
You can’t break through, no.
You trip and stumble over these knitted paths,
They lead you somewhere dark- somewhere distant.
You’ve fallen down the rabbit hole with only the
String as rope to get you out.
You try to reach, but do you really?
Excuses excuses are all that’s ever heard.
Your ball of yarn is lost and you can’t even get out
Of bed.
KNITTED
She had knit you a sweater,
You wear it every day.
You’ve had it sixteen years so-
It’s to no surprise that you'd never throw it away.
The threads follow you like a trail of shadows,
It’s thin and damaged
It smells of hard work
She had knit you a sweater,
You wear it every day
You say it’s disgusting
But you never cleaned it anyway.
She had knit you a sweater,
You hate it with such pain
Thinking about... Grieving the undead.
WORDS FROM THE HALLWAY
She had spun herself a web- not one of lies nor of truth-
Just a sticky situation to let others come into
It’s quite strange, to be a bird like her
For words and songs aren’t always heard
She declares her faith to one admirer
But the nest and the next she has no desire.
Birds can’t speak but she’s a flyer.
Watch her dive, watch her drive,
Watch her spin her web of crimes.
Watch those tears fall down others' faces,
Will she stop and slow her pace?
Twig legs no longer there,
She’s disgusted and caught in her hair.
Dare she move once more? Fuck those birds and slam the door.
