Some are luckier than others. Some get love in abundance, while others crave for a drop from that bottomless ocean.

Saturn
I am one with sidewalk chalk and I do not know 
How to skip stolen creek rocks
I am untangling their mess
And I sleep in piles of spaghetti noodles
Fallen hair and ink pen doodles
Fade into blue balloons behind sweaty palms that
Fade into backhanded slaps and pink lip balms
I am the self that knows not a self
I am second, yet
I am the self that is first and everybody else is quiet
They fall away into nothingness, all to watch me fall
To follow suit and It is okay, because
I am the self that is not here nor there
And I am the self that grows wisdom in her hair
And I am the self that observes thoughts and patterns
Curves and hurts and bursts of prayer
I am the self that is full of despair
The self that remembers everything, all the time,
And do I know what I wish to forget?
I am the self that aches to forget, that prays to come into some knowledge or quote
Some new niche some new shoes some new food 
Some girls do not like me and I am the girl that wants to understand everybody
I am the student who walks the teacher home
I am the socks that do not fit my feet right and I am the
Words that sink back down my throat at night
I am waterfalls, falling down is my forte 
I hold you in my hands and I pray not to let you fall through the cracks
Like sands
I hold you in my hands and I have something to pray for

Echoes
I think about it all the time the unresponsive fights and all the make believes I had to endure, dissociated from the storm I don't know you anymore. Perhaps in another life when life was much more simpler unimaginative, black and blue undercovered from all that was due, strayed from what was knew it became a life that dewed. There was no other time a tomb filled with all those lies and the grace of a grave that hole was made out of pain, truth and lies. They became my rain leaving out all those harsh thorns its pierced my heart, bleeding the lost cause dry. My faith died that day pushed me away, now, I have to do it all again.

(What if... I) furthermore..
But what if there's hope beyond this darkened veil,
A light that shines bright, that will never pale?
What if I can fight this battle and win,
Find the strength to start again?
What if I seek help and speak my truth,
Find others who've been through what I'm going through?
What if I can break free from this chains,
And find a way to heal my heart and pains?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What if I'm not alone in this fight,
And there's a community that will help me see the light?
What if I take one step, and then another,
And find a path to rediscover?
So, what if I choose to believe,
That there's a way out of this maze of grief?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What if I take a chance on life,
And find the courage to survive?
(What if... II) by –Nyx

Undone
where do I end
and you begin?
(does it matter?)
I feel like I'm
coming undone;
please my love,
hold me tight and
keep my pieces close,
tie together our knots
and don't let me go.

8 years.
8 years.
8 long years since we’ve all really disappeared.
oh how i think upon those days,
how we all gathered around to play some games,
i still talk to the moon about you all,
sometimes i laugh, sometimes i bawl.
for now how i’ve felt ever so small,
for sometimes even the most is just a crawl,
i will forever and continue to think about it all.
i wish you all the very best,
our faults and pasts have been silently put to rest,
sometimes it still feels like a heavy weight in my chest,
you all deserve to be so blessed.
in the end, i knew it was all my fault,
our friendships coming to a sudden halt,
your secrets and memories are still safe with me in my vault.
a time where you’ve made me ever so happy,
i didn’t know what i held, sadly.
i’ll just add another day to the tally,
and go on missing you all ever so badly.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness.

you look sad
a mind filled with clouds
will only bring a brain storm
"you look sad," they tell me
"well i'm just thinking," i say.

O bleak midwinter, you're mother, no king
of a paradise in bloom: you named spring.
Time is aching, at the stillness of your trail—
O little flowers, rise and wail!
You're bride, no queen
of a season to be young, of a season: oh so pristine!
The sun has learnt to starve, to hide, to rue—
A sky under your veil, and a world of something blue.
O wintertide! No court would do you right.
For, you are mother. For, you are bride.

Fun Home
When the fire department came into my home,
I did not know that boys could be so tall
My Mommy was the tallest
Until she was on the brown couch in the playroom
Where nobody would let me see her,
Somebody used the landline and called
911 because she stopped breathing, I think
I was standing on the arm rest of the couch in the living room
To gain a better view
of Mommy being carried across the threshold on a stretcher
Did I know that that was her first time being carried across
The threshold, because daddy didn’t love
Her until she stopped breathing the same?
Pneumonia and influenza
Were running circles around the town
that I was six inside
I painted a wooden picture frame light blue
Dipped ice cream cone shells in a dixie cup of glue
And I couldn’t handle the thought of losing you
Before I was old enough to believe that I hated you.
T.J. made me a turkey sandwich that
I stopped liking six months ago, but he was always a little behind
At learning my life
Mommy read a book called "The Help"
For months, and the dandelion
Paperback cover left paper trails across
Kitchen counters and coffee tables
Until Daddy bought the same book 
From Costco for Mother’s Day and
She cried in the shower for a long time after.
I picked her flowers from the neighbors hydrangeas and 
Put them in a vase along the windowsill in the kitchen 
My denim mini skirt hugged six-year-old hips while
Sixteen-year-old T.J. brushed my hair into a ponytail
He wouldn’t tell me anything
Mommy was too tired
T.J. never learned how to do my hair
But he figured it out when he met a girl that he loved 
More, it was never meant to be me
But he tried, before My Daddy chased him away
Down Rotunda, past the tree with a face
I am six years old and I listen to everything
It is a scary way of existing
I am learning my teachers don’t have the answers
To what is going on at home
And if my teachers do not know,
Then who do I ask? Or do I have to find out
Myself? What kind of game of hide and seek is this?
I know that, for me,
Mommy would get the pink rubber duck from CVS that lights up in the bathtub
And I remember that, because I wanted it more than anything,
And she said no. But she went back for it later and surprised me, and I 
Was never again so happy, because 
What is better than being remembered
Unintentionally?

If I lose one day
know that it's not your fault.
My unhealthy mind
spread lies, suffocating the joy
in the small things
leaving nothing but bare surroundings
and my life was never mine
to begin with, my letter was
never addressed to you.
I miss that girl I use to be,
in your eyes I can see
you don't recognize
the monster that has eaten me.
Let that memory rest in your soul
and hold on it like the last note
For it will be the only one you'll ever have.
If I go, know it was never your fault.
I was just not meant for this world
It was frighten, cold and empty
A brittle smile could never make me whole,
just sustain the image of light.
It's time to let go
Feel what you need
love me like the girl I use to be
for my letter was never addressed to you.

They say it's a man's world
But who suffers the most?
Women, blamed for things
That are not even their fault..
Expected to play a certain role
To please, to serve, to give it all,
But what about our own dreams
Our own aspirations, our own goals?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Marriage is not just our responsibility
It takes two to make a promise,
Why do we have to suffer alone
While they roam free, taking advantage?
When they cheat, they expect us to forgive,
To forget the pain they caused us.
But what if the tables were turned,
And we were the ones who broke their trust?
Would we be called a slut, a whore,
A label we didn't deserve..
But when they cheat, they get a pass,
As if it's their right to hurt and betray.
We are not just some prey,
To be kept locked up and controlled.
We are strong, we are brave
So don't ask us to be quiet, to forgive
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When the mistake is not our own,
We can stand up for ourselves and hold our own.
We deserve respect, we deserve love,
And we won't settle for anything less than that...
(Breaking the Chains) by –Nyx
