going in blind might be helpful for once

Maybe there isn't a Good Place or a Bad Place. Do you get stuck in the between? Would there be a between? Between what, when there is no extremes? What if there was something, but in the nothing. Maybe it's actually nothing, just something of the thoughts. Maybe we keep going. We could keep coming back. But despite everything, circles don't last forever. When you stare too long at a circle, it'll be a dot. And dots aren't forever, either. They're just dots. A blackness on a white piece of paper. Or maybe it's one of those black construction papers in preschool we use to have and we'd write all over it with white pastels. Then it

their dark eyes are so tired with all the things they should not know from where these cold paths are paved they are weary travelers their dark eyes told me this, Father. as they sat in alleys skin colored with dirt, wearing thin rags as they sat in the nameless graves their tombstones said nothing. their dark eyes are so quiet with all the things their hearts could not hold from where the sharp thorns are laid they are so tired. all these eyes are heavy with bad dreams and the ghosts of their lives lingering in the back of their minds with all the whispers that not all ears heard they cannot rest on these thorns, Father. th

When It Stares Back

Sometimes, you can't do the right thing by doing the good thing Sometimes, you can't win against evil by playing fair There are those moments, when you realize that the world is not black and white You have decisions to make. Terrible things that you will regret. Terrible things that you will burden yourself with, because you realize, in those moments that such things are necessary. You will hate it. And yourself. Sometimes, you want to do the right thing, by doing the good thing Sometimes, you want to win against evil by being the fairy-tale hero Anything else will hurt knowing that this life you live is a truly ugly place.

Wither Away In Wealth

So beautiful behind the bars So beautiful when you sing You're so beautiful, caged bird An art for only us to see For all of its perfectly groomed feathers And all of its perfectly pitched songs The bird in the cage was no bird at all No matter how much wealth it held And when you fluff your pretty feathers Or when you sing your pretty songs The bird in the cage was no bird at all No matter how much wealth it held You look so forlorn from behind the bars Your songs so sad when you sing You're so ugly, prisoner In the eyes of those who are free

Pride for the Platypus Child by Hermaphroditean, literature

Literature

Pride for the Platypus Child

Mother always said that I was her Platypus Pup—that I was her Special baby. She would always tell me that my Egg was more special than all the other Eggs. My Egg was an EGG, not an Egg. I didn't grow, Mother always told me. I hatched, but Mother said not to tell Father. It's a Secret, Mother would tell me. It's our Secret. Father thinks I'm a Mammal-Mammal. He thinks he's my Other Creator. But he's not my Other Creator. I don't have an Other Creator. Mother always said that Father is a Mammal-Mammal; that she was a Mammal-Mammal, but I'm not a Mammal-Mammal. Mother told me that she did something to my Egg, something Special. She did

Noman Did It, Noman Was Here

Tell me, somebody... Where is the light? the path I once traveled is gone shrouded by the terrible things and their terrible beings with their terrible deeds there is no moon and no stars the fireflies have left me all the trees and their shadows confuse me so that I will fall through the dark I fear that I will not get back up. Tell me, someone... Where is the light? lend me a hand or lend me the noose because in the darkness I will fall and not get back up the path I travel now looks so endless and bleak and the footfalls I make are deep and scarring I fear that I will make the wrong turn. Tell me, anybody... Where is

Atlas the Gutted

I am on my knees, and all of the weight of the world is on my shoulders. Pushing me farther down. Face down. Crushed under the world. Pinned under its weight. Trapped under all of the bad things. The bad things that keep coming. The bad things that make no room for the good things. The bad things that make up the bad thing that is all of the weight of the world. I am on my knees, and all of the bad things of the world are on my shoulders. Rubbing my face in the mud. Mud made of blood. Blood that blinds me. Blinds me from the world in a great red shadow. A great red haze. A forever blindfold, and no one is brave enough to remove

the first step to greatness

A rusted crown placed humbly upon my brow too big to lay still slips and hides thy eyes hides the light of their dreams this duty I will never grow into boots and leather straps that I cannot fill a sword that I am unable to lift to swing mightily as those before me a throne more silver than gold that seats the old glories cradles the wisdom of a sharp mind and the warmth of a still-beating heart how am I to surpass these memories let alone, meet them eye to eye when I cannot see farther than my nose or through the rust? When I cannot fill the boots and leather straps and swing their sword mightily there is no wisdom to giv

Optimistic Smiling by Hermaphroditean, literature

Literature

Optimistic Smiling

You gotta walk with a bounce in your step And then do a silly little dance With a silly little smile you gotta show the world with that bounce in your step that you're mighty pleased and that your silly little dance just can't be helped because all those feel-good feelings are too much to hold inside one dude and with a silly little smile the world will nod, look away just never knowing anything. So do your walk with a bounce that sends you to the moon and among the stars dance your silly little dance twist and turn with the roots of every oak and pine and elm and rowan tree because you're always that down-to-earth dude

DON'T FREAK OUT

0 min read

BUT I'm planning for a massive clean-up of my work, revising (plus some deletes) and blah blah blah. It won't happen right at this moment, because I'm just organizing shiz with my crazy-mad OCD. x) My poetry seems to be improving and the old stuff is making me wince, so WHALLA, this bitch right here needs to take a second look at some things with The Mighty Eye of Edit. :"D I'm sure you (or some of you) know where I'm coming from, right? RIGHT. So yeeeeah, that's all I had to say. |3

Halloween~!

0 min read

So, my Halloween was... interesting. I wanted to be Beetlejuice, as I've already said. IN ALL THE EXCITEMENT OF CARVING PUMPKINS AND COSTUMES... I totally forgot to get facepaint and the other very important things for a good Beetlejuice get-up. ;A; Brother, god I love him, bought me a pirate costume instead. Well, no, I don't really love him, because he was being an ass at the time "YOU LOOKIN' FOR SOME BOOTY? ~trollfaceplz (https://www.deviantart.com/trollfaceplz)" But then again, it's mostly my fault for not getting supplies. |D Anyway. So, now I'm a pirate. I somehow manage to look like the female version of Jack Sparrow. A really tall, female version of Jack Sparrow.

ROLO. ASDGFJNAMD

HI.

Uh uhh, how have I been?? DERP. I've been pretty good. I'm psyched about the State Fair and am looking into Paleontology. Maybe. *SQUINTS* Maybe.

A lot has happened lately and I don't know where to start? D: UH, gosh. I'm sorry about not answering you sooner! I went down to Alabama, then Florida, and then all the way back up to Minnesota. ROAD TRIP, WHOOP WHOOP.

And yeah, that is exciting as my life gets, as per usual. xD
