I’ve been writing in a journal lately. Alright, actually, I’ve been slacking the last few days… but still, I’m not required to do it on the daily, so there. I had a thought that I wrote about in my journal that I wanted to share. See, I was sitting in my car, watching the gray [...]

rachael. has little to no willpower.

Lost Soul
Ghost reflection stares you in the eyes,
Says nothing, means nothing, prophesies nothing.
It looks back as a mirror of youth,
Innocence, mistakes and lies.
In it’s hot pink strapless bra and lacy panties,
It’s a reminder of all that it can no longer be.
A reminder that it knows better now,
But longs to forget the lesson.
Tossing and turning in its [...]

Instead, I Merely Exist
There are no more tears.
There are no more screams.
There are no more smiles.
Giggles.
Lies.
Cuts or bruises.
There are no more words.
I’ve lost everything I ever thought I had.
The love, the fears, the anger is gone.
It dissolved into the sweat and ran off my body with the rain.
And now I’m numb.
The nausea has overcome me,
I lay in my [...]

the happiness
I wish I could write a poem,
One with daisies and bunnies and butterflies.
A poem that made you smile, maybe giggle,
That made you glow with warmth and love.
I don’t rhyme with words like innocence
And my characters don’t fly or laugh.
All they hear are sadness and anger,
all they hear are tears and screams.

i, you, us.
alone.
exemplified by the overwhelming feeling of loneliness.
drowned out by false impressions of happiness.
sweet drugs of sugar and salt,
the guilty pleasure in family and home,
with a hint of contempt for life.
alone, but always together.
the twinge of pain that encompasses this cloud of suffering
silenced by pages and pages of children’s novels
thumbed over by so many before me.
the [...]

secrets make friends
My internal strength weakens with each interaction.
It’s time to sink or time to swim.
I’ll tie an anchor to your waist,
If only to ensure my own salvation.
So many words held back, so long,
They’re Exposed now
with each salty drop of pouring tear.
They scream of wonder and amazement
At your presence being so disengaged.
Those images I had of unconditionality,
(Friendship [...]

Put You in Your Place
standing in the same place i’ve been before,
I know a thing or two about this thing.
Label me, “the other girl”
“the half-assed attempt”
“the used”
but I’ve got the upperhand this time.
I know that you don’t know I know.
But I’ve heard about her,
about you,
about your cheatin ways.
You’re in for a surprise.
I’m contemplating the best way to manipulate
and blow [...]

Pinball [Pandemonium]
Painless
Raw
Emotion
Weaving in and out of Tiny Loopholes
Ducking,
Reaching,
Wavering.
Abrupt HALT.
Followed by pedaltothefloor Acceleration.
Bouncing Side-to-Side with Increasing Momentum
Twirling,
Looping,
Bursting through my Chest
with such Energy that all I can do is…
sleep.

Building Simplicity
You know,
I wonder at the world,
That it can be so complex,
Yet, i feel that the simplest things are the most important.
We go through our lives, searching for things.
For some it is love,
For some it is glory,
For some it is survival.
Love, glory, survival…
Isn’t it simple enough?
Happiness and love seem to go hand in hand
The two lovers, [...]
