Hiiii, on my last live we decided to have writers submit pieces to be read & shared on my next live. If you wanna send some of your own or your favorite pieces by other writers (music, poetry, short stories etc) you can drop it in my inbox or you can find my email in the link in my bio!
I wanna credit the artists too so pls include your handle/name.
I’ll most likely hop on Wednesday night, but I’ll come back & update with the specific time!
I’ll be reading some of my pieces too:)
I promise this is a safe space because we’re all artists and sensitive about our shit okay😭💛

It’s beautiful watching someone fall in love.

took a step back and realized I was grateful for myself today. Have you ever felt that? Grateful that you have yourself? I felt it run through my body. Such a crazy feeling.
That’s all.

I don’t have a title I was just thinking through words
I hang it up next to my coat and wet umbrella, because I don’t let myself off the hook.
I sit with my shadow covering my face and I force myself to look.
I speak before I think sometimes and I find my footsteps faltering backwards.
I’d like to think I’m immune to impulsivities until that following moment after.
But that’s the thing about illusions, it’s simple silhouettes of preferences in the dark.
I run those moments back in my mind aching for a chance to restart.
Hello, my name is Liable, to the first chance to get this right.
Impress upon myself the highest viewpoint, the highest timeline and the highest light.
I broke a dish reaching for a cycle trying to finally lay it peacefully to rest.
I enacted chaos through the barrel when the trigger was put to the test.
Dove deeper into darkness and stayed a day until I created the light.
I did it out of love and never to myself would there be a thought of spite.
Well, never again since I clawed my way out of that chamber the world put me in.
Then, I found union in myself and declared in truth to be my own twin.
But I still stumbled in time like languages have previously failed and I know it’s far from me.
I’ll remove myself from the hook when the clock calls me down inevitably.
A reformed casualty in the game of growing up- I think I’d like to be at the end by now.
I’ll go blue in the face preaching honesties and reciting ancestral traditions that will eventually lead me out.

R eached out to touch a piece of the sky even when my foot got caught for a moment or two.
E ach time I found another ledge to hold onto, another way to make it to the next.
S tagnancy rang like a bell so I stood atop to silence the noise.
I nnerstand the roots, see how they connect, feel your faith and don’t let go;
L ook towards the signals that question where I’ve been told to walk, since it never really worked out for me anyway…
I nstead I cut up carpets, tore towers down and rebuilt them again-I’ve been known for a taste of chaos from time to time, but,
E gomania has no home here when the finish line refused to support its weight in the first place.
N ot a place to lie down and allow the worst of surprises to come to you, but did I listen? No.
C atch it before the opportunity passes you by- I thought your fire burned brighter than so.
E ven in the middle of the night you’re still plotting ways to make it to the greenery-
I admire that about you.

I gotta stop questioning what comes to me before I’m able to understand it bc one way or another it eventually is revealed.
