I Spent My Childhood Yearning | 3.22.24
#this is one of those feelings that never really goes away for me#I feel sad and I have nowhere to put it#so I write about it but it doesn't help much#I guess it gives the feeling a space in the world and maybe that's enough#if anything can ever be enough#original poetry#poetblr#poetry#poem#poetic#writing#my poem#poets of tumblr#queer writers#elainewellspoetry#childhood#inner child#trauma

I believed in my father growing up and I shouldn't have | 3.4.24
#This is kind of a completely new style for me#I don't know if I'll keep it I just wanted to play around with ways to make words stand out#Also writing about religion is kind of a new thing for me because I was always too scared to but I really like what I've been making lately#it's also kinda cathartic#original poetry#mental health#poetblr#poem#poetry#poetic#elainewellspoetry#writing#my poem#poets of tumblr#queer writers#religious trauma#ex evangelical#spilledink#spilled ink#spilled poetry#spilled words#poets on tumblr#the tortured poets department#writers and poets#original poem#mental illness

I was never called good, it would be blasphemous to say | 3.4.24
#Can we just talk about how fucked up it is to raise kids like this?#Like genuinely#I grew up in it and it never felt wrong to me until I left the church#but if atheists raised their kids this way it would be called emotional abuse#it's only seen as acceptable because “we're all sinners in the eyes of God”#Fuck off with that shit#Stop sexualizing kids#and don't raise them with the mindset that they can't achieve anything meaningful#religious trauma#original poetry#poetblr#poetry#poem#poetic#elainewellspoetry#writing#my poem#poets of tumblr#queer writers#ex evangelical#family trauma#spilledink#spilled ink#spilled poetry#mental health#mental illness

In all of my nightmares, I have been forgotten about | 3.4.24
#Apparently having dreams about large snakes symbolizes betrayal#I just thought that was a little ironic#I also didn't make this dream up for the poem#I had it like a year ago and I've been thinking about it ever since#but it also seemed like it would make for a nice literary device#I should probably write more about my family trauma#I've overlooked it a lot in my writing...and in my therapy sessions#original poetry#poetblr#poetry#poem#elainewellspoetry#poetic#writing#my poem#poets of tumblr#queer writers#family issues#emotional neglect#fear#writeblr#writers and poets#writers on tumblr#spilledink#spilled ink#spilled poetry#mental health

Ad Nauseam | 2.29.24
#Can you tell I've been listening to “I'd Have to Think About It” again?#Seriously go listen to that song and all of Leith Ross's songs#They're beautiful and their music bops in the 'sobbing so hard you can't feel your throat anymore' kinda way#and it was not my intention to base my poem off of their song#I just relate to that feeling and wanted to write about it#but considering that the content is similar and their music inspires me it would feel wrong not to mention them#original poetry#poetblr#poetry#poem#poetic#elainewellspoetry#writing#my poem#poets of tumblr#queer writers#wlw#sapphic#sapphic yearning#writeblr#spilledink#spilled ink#spilled words#spilled poetry#vent poetry

Playing The Part | 2.26.24
Note: This is the second poem I've written about this topic in 2 days and I'm realizing now that the reason it's been so hard to write in the past year is because I haven't been writing honestly. I was trying so fucking hard to write love poetry about a guy I wasn't into, and now I'm just speaking my feelings and it's so easy to write again.
#Just to be clear I don't hate men#I love my guy friends to death#I even find some men physically attractive#it's just that I realized the ones I find physically attractive are the good christian boys who my parents would like more than I would#and I have never been able to build a romantic attraction to any guy I've dated#but I still kept dating them because it was easier than telling my parents I liked a girl#and that's what brought us here#original poetry#poetblr#poetry#poetic#poem#elainewellspoetry#writing#poets of tumblr#my poem#spilledink#spilled ink#spilled poetry#spilled thoughts#spilled words#queer writers#sapphic#sappho#wlw#comp het#self accepectance

A Case Study on Gay Panic and Religious Crises | 2.25.24
alternatively titled: I'm going to have to come out to my family again, but maybe my grandparents will at least stop asking me when I'm getting married.

it comes for me at my weakest | 2.22.24
#in conclusion: I caught a cold#also this was inspired by one time like 2 years ago when I was listening to an episode of Dear Hank and John#And I think John mentioned that no one writes laments about minorly inconvenient illness#so this is that#original poetry#poetblr#poem#poetry#poetic#elainewellspoetry#writing#poets of tumblr#queer writers#writers on tumblr#writers and poets#mental illness#vent poetry#vent#depressing shit#art#my poem#struggle

Closure | written 10.31.21
published 2.18.24
I wrote this years ago and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. If I die before I publish, I'm putting this poem in my will.
