Chronic Anxiety

As a person who has struggled with chronic anxiety my entire life i have a huge appreciation for how she gave us the credit we deserve for surviving the pain of everyday.


Blue butterfly(poem)

image

On the surface are bumps
Mounds
Cuts
Creases
Some patches darker than others
Overall a golden brown

My fingers brush across my skin,
And there it is.
The indentation of my secret

The only thing that keeps it hidden is a piece of fabric

The indentation
My butterfly

She lies there
Patiently
Quietly

Wings smothered by chains

Waiting -waiting -waiting
To be set free.


Sister dearest(poem)

Sometimes i wonder
If she ever loved me
Was her hatred ever dimmed enough to feel something other than envy
I love her
And once even liked her.
Once.

Does she remember?
What we are.
The same seed
Both watered by fallen tears
Separate womb
Blossomed onto eachothers face
Why does it matter?

Sister dearest,
Why are you so sad?
I can see the broken longing child behind the forest in your eyes.
Why do you despise me so?
I can see the flurry of curses between those phony curved lips .

Sister dearest, tell me why i never saw it before,
Why was i so blind?
Why wont you answer me ?
Why dont you care?
Why did things have to be this way ?
Would it have been any different were we of the same womb?

Sister dearest
I bleed
Sister dearest
I yearn
Sister dearest
It hurts

Sister dearest
isnt there
Sister dearest
Doesnt care

Sister dearest
Why did you lie to a shattered spirit,
Sister dearest
Why did you kick me and laugh when i was already broken?!

Sister dearest
Why bother pretending.
Why waist your breath!
Why fake the smiles!
Why pretend to love me?!
Why fake sympathy
Why hide the truth if you were burning to hurt me?

It wouldve been best to pierce this cotton heart with the spear of truth.
Youd have my distance
Youd have my pain
Youd have it all.
Why?!

Sister dearest
I miss you
Sister dearest
I car
Sister dearest
I wish we could have been more
Sister dearest
I wish you happiness
Sister dearest
I lovw you
But
Sister,
i must let you go.


To die again (poem)

He doesn’t love me
He doesnt care
This feeling is all too familiar
Why again

It hurts
But not to the core
Not the the soul like before
Not to the atom like before

It hurts
But its bearable
Manageable
How to say goodbye
To salvation

How to let go
Of my oxygen tank

How will i breath
Without air
Will i be left gasping again
Again
Again
All too familiar is the ache
Again
Again
All too familiar are the bruises
Again
The old flesh rips
Again
Again
Bleeds
Again
Again
I sign the pointless contract
Again
Again
In blood
Again
To die again


Blood of my sisters

(old poem repost, it felt fit for the mood i was in)

The world has made a mockery of us

Turned us into an impossibility

A joke

Cackles and chuckles at the mere thought

A child’s tale

Myth

The children speak true

Mock myth when its present before your eyes

Feed yourself ignorance

Denial burns in their eyes

Fear

What brought us here is seen as myth

Do I look like myth?

Are these eyes stirrings of fairy dust ?

I am real as you

Flesh of man

Soul of earth

Daughter of magic

Daughter of power

Daughter of wisdom

The earth is my mother

Why do you snicker?

Preposterous you say ?!

You worship one you cannot see!

I see my goddess

In everything

We are not a joke

Be wise

Tread carefully

Respect as I respect you

You mock me again

Im brought back

Back to a time of magic running red

Like rivers of wine

Spilled

Spit

Pointless attempt at purification

Drums of war in the hearts of the ignorant

Following the word of one man

One mans word

Red velvet flies

Its everywhere

Screams

Myth being tortured

Consumed by pain

Fire

Rope

Knife

Rock

Touched of our sin

Touched of our freedom

Fear

Insensible

Wine falls from my sisters

Screams from my sisters

Agony from my sisters

Myth you say ?!

You come to me and demand I follow your way ?!

The light?!

The truth?!

Do not speak to me of light you hypocrite!

Do not speak to me of truth you ignorant fool!

Wine falls of my sisters

Screams of my sisters

Agony of my sisters

And you call it myth?

Do not walk upon us with your face of righteousness

Waiving your tainted flag , and call me sinner

My only sin is being free

But I guess it is in freedom that most often find sin

Crazy? Maybe

Liar? Never

I know what I am

And if you could muster some sort of vision youd see

You know too

Treat us as what we are

Magical

Beautiful

Equal

One mans word

Your peoples blood spilled in the attempt to follow it

See us

See us

We are not of Satan

He is your creation not ours

We are ” inpure” as you

Our sisters and brothers of man

Our kind

One kind

( I was angry but I wanted to share, I mean no disrespect to any one however if I have offended you I apologize please let me know and I will remove it )
