Welcome

 Welcome

By Alexandria 


you should know you are welcome here

walk into my head to hear

i write with golden words intended to sear

please stay, listen

i invite you to be my seer

 

midas does not touch what i write

though,

gods of deceit do blind my sight

i am gifted with false, herculean might

 

will it be made right?

will you find the light?

 

i offer to you

every piece of myself

every word i am made of

right here on your shelf

 

all i ask is

you are not my three fates

all i ask is

you do not show me hate

 

clotho spun my thread long ago

lachesis and atropos

they cackle with glee

 

as i am eternally

stuck at sea—

if only poseidon

was kind to me

 

so you see and read

with open eyes

so something good comes

of my mind's demise

 

to summarize:

i lack interpretation

due to my highs

and my brain's lies

 

to surmise:

i am blind

X and O

 X and O we write our X’s and O’s in blood singing and then screeching a deadly tune we scream and howl at the moon like wild creatures and wilder banshees you chase me with a chain saw that’s how I know you are in it for the long hall I’m poised, ready, and a little petty Let me love you with my machete   We have our games My favorite is playing hide and seek I love when you show me a little of your freak Let me clean my knife off I got to find a way to get you off Apply a bit of pressure please darling hold still Maybe later you can drug me with my pills I wanna draw patterns and zig zags I wanna feel your breath as the metal drags Do I get to put you in a body bag?   Oh god the drag of the day I’m surrounded by all the mundane No one ever lets me out to play It’s all drones, robots, and zombies All I want is to focus on your body   Your breath your gasp Your groans your moans I want to make you fall apart I...

Stitches

  Stitches You can say I’m something of a creep I take little girls as dolls to keep I stitch their mouth so they can’t say a peep My name is Victim and I surround myself in sleep I consume myself in the cold numbness of nothing I’m nature and rot and I vomit quite a lot But I’m something sinless in all my rot Cause how do I sin without lips I talk to the blind with my heart and hips Sweet like sugar— cherry lips It’s easier to empty my entire head Then be a doll to be dead I’ll bleed it all from my head I’m the nightmare in your bed To devastate and demolish Cause I got a deadly kiss I’ll bring anyone to bliss I’ll break them all like this Then I’ll stitch their lips I’m vulgar and I’m vile I look like the Queen of the Nile In my head I’m rot and bile I keep my dolls broken in a pile Come close and stay awhile Stay in sleep, stay in the black My button eyes will have you hallucinating a heart attack I want to take a soul and pa...

August 09th, 2023

  August 09 th , 2023 My legs are silky smooth from the shaving cream I bought. I typically never splurge on nice shower products, but the nearly $700 to hit my bank account on Monday takes away any guilt or weirdness I’d feel for buying it. I have to be honest. I’m typically pretty broke. Making $17/h is new to me and it is changing the way I purchase food, beauty products, and the recreational activities I do. I take singing lessons now once a week, I go to the YMCA and attend their classes, and I am considering a kickboxing class to round it all out. I’m officially an adult with Adult Money. Today despite my developing work crush I did think of my ex. I think of him when a song plays which reminds me of him, or I see someone with dark curly hair, or something jabs at my brain and screams “MEMORY! CORE ROMANTIC MEMORY!” That’s an Inside Out joke for you. I feel like the little characters inside my brain dance happily, sigh, and cry over my ex too often for my comfort. It’s ha...
