no wonder it took him 1455 pages

when i was seven years old, a group of kids in my grade threw rocks at me for liking neopets more than webkinz. from then on, i was convinced i knew what hatred meant. but i don’t know how to describe it to the little girl who sits in the corner of my womb and in ten years might call me mommy and ask for help on dividing the world into black and white. would i point to the churches with their bigotry? to the cotton fields of the south in the 1800s? to the classrooms of modern day america? would i tell her about how the jews stood in straight lines, waiting to die, with fear in their eyes and faith in their hearts? or would i try and de

welcome to the real world

1. if someone invites you back to their place for coffee, and you only drink tea, don’t stress: you probably won’t actually be drinking coffee. 2. when the creepy guy from work asks you out again and you think about accepting for the first time because you’re sick of going home alone and you have never learned how to say no, don’t. learn. stand in front of the mirror until you love yourself enough for your skin to fit snug on your body. read about the hundreds of millions of planets out in the hundreds of millions of galaxies and feel so crowded that you’re about to burst all over again. 3. you’re gonna

the 'd' word

when i was seven years old, my mother, tear-streaks drying on her cheeks, fingered her wedding band and told me, “love hurts, sweetie, that’s how you know it’s a good love.” two days later, my father came back home. he was missing his wedding ring and when he left again, he left a handprint on my mother’s cheek that she carried with her even after the bruise was gone. i grew up without a father influence in my mother’s world and without a mother influence in my dad’s. neither of them got remarried. they had found each other and that was enough. they had found each other and that was too much. i gre

Malnoir

Malnoir It is very possible, as humans, to lose ourselves in a good book. It happens randomly, and can occur on the first page or the last, and often times breaking out of the hypnotic trance is near impossible. It’s an addiction of sorts, reading, and it’s also the greatest talent than mankind has every developed. But nowadays, as my body begins to give out from age and I find myself cooped in my apartment, reading to pass the time, I often wonder if the books can lose themselves in us. As we read them they stare back at us and watch and think and ponder and admire the human form. But we often find ourselves too enthralled to n

There Stands the Grass

During my youth, I frequently traveled the world, sightseeing in the most exotic places. Few people can boast about having visited far-off and unheard of lands such as Oman, Kosovo and Swaziland. Traveling and exploring different countries became a passion, one that I enjoyed doing to no end. My reasons for getting such unprecedented joy from seeing the deepest parts of the world are my own, but I can only imagine being anywhere aside from home would give me pleasure. I have visited countries that some men have never even heard of, not even in their wildest dreams, but of all the experiences I’ve had and of all the people I’ve me

Oblivion Songs

Oblivion Songs I’ve arranged all of my memories Into photos and put them Upon my wall, then Sat down in my great armchair And gazed upon them all. My memories aren’t chronological, but instead linked by scraps of string, reaching across the yellowing wallpaper like the silk strands of a spider’s web. I’m older now, and I do this mainly as a way to waste my time as I sit in this great house that I worked my whole life for, now empty, and think of what could have been altered. In my study, books sit as my audience, thousands of them. Three thousand four hundred and sixty two. I counted them last week. A fire cackles

Blood Brothers

Brookie always holds my hand when we cross the street. She's never given a reason for it, she just does it. It's become this unspoken rule with us that whenever we cross the street together, she slips her hand in mine and I lace my fingers through hers and we walk hand-in-hand until we reach the other side and she drops her hand and we both wipe our palms on our jeans. Brookie's a little scared of crossing the street. Her poppa died in a car crash when we were six. He was a pedestrian. She's never gotten over it. Brookie is my best friend going on sixteen years now, which is pretty impressive considering we're both sixteen. We don't h

Liar

~ "You're lying, Mommy" the girl with pixie hair mumbled as she skirted near the woman's side. "I never lie," Her mother responded as her hands ghosted across her son's hair. "That's a lie everyone lies, the teacher told me so, she says I lie the best, too. " Her eyes glistened with malicious splendor as she said the words being the best liar was a brilliant thing to be, simply perfect. "I never lie," Her mother simply repeated bending over to gather ingredients into the grocery cart. The girl grumbled, "Nu-uh, you're just bad at it." ~ "Tell me another Mommy!!" he screec

Does that make me Different?

I wear make up. Does that make me fake? I cry. Does that make me emo? I have male friends. Does that make me slutty? I smile a lot. Does that make me weird? I laugh loud. Does that make me preppy? I have anxiety. Does that make me a freak? I have Bipolar Disorder. Does that make me abnormal? I respect people. I change for me, and only me. I have a past, but I know I have a future. Does that make me different? Maybe. But at least it makes me Me.

the aftermath

the temple of her body was torn open tonight, desecrated and lit on fire. i swear, gods have burned and felt less pain than i do as i write these words down, because she’s crying in my bathroom right now and i have to go and convince her that the handful of feathers i have left in my palms could ever equal the wings he snipped off of her tonight. she will never fly again. she will never believe so wholly in herself again. her body is no longer a temple, her body is a landmine, an open wound, a thousand foot drop off of a bridge, a stranger to her. she will never again be able to trust her body, to know her body. this is not the first p

Sands and Tide

The tide is pulling, pulling away, I have no way to make it stay; The sand is falling, falling through time, I have no way to make it mine. The gulls are flying, flying away Chanting music day by day; The waves are pounding, pounding on, And so they shall when I have gone. But here I am with a sky above, A mind of dreams and a heart of love; Forget the sand, forget the tide, The water's vast and shoreline wide. I'm scooping sea-foam, catching shells, Wading depths to feel waves swell, Building castles in the spray And laughing when they're swept away. Yes, taunt me, time, go right ahead! Strive to buffet me with dread; You know where I ma

Thanks for Nothing and Everything [Izark x Noriko]

The world Noriko had accustomed herself to had strange holidays that made no sense to a modern, Tokyo-fuddled mind. Festivals for spring, summer, for winter... they were similar in some ways, but generally based on concepts completely unique to the culture. Especially the fall Harvest festivals rampant the continent over; they were quite kin to the American "Thanksgiving," but still celebrated differently. The thought of "staying home with family" was absurd. Every man, woman and child was out and about in town, hurriedly preparing for a massive celebration; the food, the drink, the fellowship with friends and comrades, the overwhelmingly

Happy birthday Adrien

Another day, another akuma purified. Like Clockwork almost, Ladybug and Cat Noir worked together to defeat the "Collector" who had wanted to shrink landmarks and people for their collection. After the token fistbump, they prepared to go their separate ways, but before she could swing off, Cat Noir grabbed Ladybug's arm. "Say, doing anything tomorrow, m'lady?" She looked at his hand then back at his face, "Not in particular, why?" Cat let go of her arm, scratching the back of his head nervously. "Well, if you're not busy, I was wondering if we could hang out or something." Ladybug frowned, crossing her arms. "Asking me out on a DATE?" C
