You are Robert Frost nights spent
Curling toes around fires and
Drowning our sorrows behind cracked smiles
And wishing for better times,
While I am stormy winters
Of monochrome greys and
Sleepless men who
Can't be jovial because
They just don't know how,
Like I just don't know how.
But you love me for it anyways,
Though the flaws shine
Through this cracked porcelain and
I wish I was whole so that
I could love with
E v e r y
S i n g l e
Part of my soul because
You deserve no less than that,
You goddess you,
And I can't ever amount to
The paramount expectations that I have for myself,
For you.
<this is my attempt at a prose piece.>
i love the screeches of guitars, the "thrum, thrum, thrum" of the bass as it stills my heart and freezes my lungs. it's a wonderful grip of asphyxiation, something i can't let go of. in those moments, i am numb, i am free. in those moments, i float away.
in those moments i am a filled expanse of power chords. my arteries drip music notes, my brain pulses, "thrum, thrum, thrum", and my ears ring. my soul is the holy shrine for rock and roll, and i give myself up willingly.
the longer this goes on, the number i become, until i finally s l i p away from reality, into a world of music notes and guita
May 7th, 1992
In Room Seven of the Hutchingson Laboratory, a woman was screaming. Her sounds were guttural, at times rising to deafening octaves before falling to a hushed whisper again, and she whimpered as one of the doctors patted her leg softly.
"Almost there, dear," he said. "Just keep pushing."
The woman screamed in response as another contraction hit her, and her hand tightened even more around her husband. Her hand turned white as his turned red, and he bit his lip to keep from yelping.
"Come on, honey, you can do this." He urged her, and almost bit off his tongue as she squeezed his hand again. Again, the woman screamed in response.

Your life is not a British television show by HecticHarmony, literature
Literature
Your life is not a British television show
People on social media sites
tend to glorify things that hurt.
They brag about things
that people struggle with.
Mental illness is not a label.
It is not a badge nor a privilege
or something you have to earn.
People suffer,
they battle voices in their heads
that they do not even recognize.
People struggle to tame
their inner demons
and keep up an image
that the world expects them to uphold.
Mental illness is not cute,
being so anxious you cannot speak is not a quirk.
Relying on people to take care of you is not romantic.
News flash!
Your life is not an episode of Skins
The idea of Effy and Freddie is fictional,
no one is going to save yo
I do not understand this all... But then again, I just joined today, so I'm trying to learn. This is all so weird... But I'm hoping to have more crap up soon.
