developing your ocs is 50% waiting for bursts of divine inspiration like an oracle sleeping next the vapours seeping from fissures in the temple floor and 50% stalking them in your mind relentlessly like a persistence predator until they tire out enough for you to get close and scamper away with the bloody scraps of "eye colour: brown" and "dislikes: people who think they're funny" clutched in your mouth like a hunting trophy
If I were to choose how I am
If I were on the outside how I am inside
I’d be something feral
I’d be something beautiful.
I’d be something unrecognisable
And I’d be something new.
I’d be sharp and I’d be deadly
I’d be a rose made only of thorns.
If I could be something natural
I would be something feral
I’d be something beautiful
I’d rip myself apart and build myself back up.
I’d be something painful
I’d be something to be feared.
If I were a mirror of how I feel
I’d become something new
Something natural
Something feral
I’d be a river that nobody crosses.
I’d be dangerous and I’d be violent
I’d be myself and no one else.
I sit here
And in circles I go
Round and round this carousel
My mind and my heart at war
He loves me, he loves me not
I love me, I love me not
But the flower is just as confused.
I lay here
And in circles I go
Around and around and around
I can’t feel my soul and my heart is losing the fight
They love me, they love me not
I love me, I love me not
I’m out of flowers and I‘m just as lost.
I tumble down
And in circles I go
Round and round and round
I can’t breathe and my mind is screaming
He loves me, he loves me not
I love me, I love me not
A roll of the dice away from something stupid
A spin away from losing my mind
I can’t put the shovel down
He loves me, he loves me not
I love me, I love me not
In circles and circles I go
Around and around this carousel ride.
YES?? Please and thank you?? Some completely normal attacking mutuals I appreciate the thought and would enjoy
Y’all ever just want to play wrestle someone and it not get sexual? Like, I just want to throw and be thrown, and then we lay there, winded and laughing, side by side, too tired to get up, just having a good and wholesome time. Doesn’t that sound fun? Why must everyone try to make it weird?

YOU ARE NOT CHRISTIAN IF YOU PROMOTE HATE.
YOU'RE NOT.
I don't care what verse you cite. I don't care what justification you give. Christianity is about LOVING OTHERS. THIS IS WHAT PUSHES PEOPLE AWAY. THIS IS WHY PEOPLE LEAVE. If you look at someone and say they are lesser because of xyz, you're NOT CHRISTIAN.
People I know and that I see that have the audacity to go ahead and say you can't curse and then use the lord's name in vain because 'this is an abomination!' just make me SO MAD. YOU'RE NOT CHRISTIAN IF YOU CLAIM JESUS PREACHES ANYTHING BUT ABSOLUTE LOVE. YOU'RE NOT CHRISTIAN IF YOU GO TO CHURCH AND THEN TURN AROUND AND TELL SOMEONE THEY'RE GOING TO HELL. THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE.

They got it,
So why can't I?
How come they automatically get it?
And I have to work so hard for mine.
They just did that one thing,
And all that opportunity came their way,
What about me?
I sit here struggling.
Fighting for pennies,
Fighting to be heard,
Fighting for peace,
And alI I seem to get is brick walls and resistance.
I don't want to be them,
I don't actually like them,
I don't actually want their lives.
But I want the same opportunities,
I want those doors to open for me,
I want that ease that I witness in them.
I hate my life.
I openly reject it.
Victimising myself to anyone who will listen,
Playing the blame game to deflect my ownership,
Proudly accepting sympathy for my shortcomings,
I have dug this ugly, defensive hole that I sit in.
But the truth is,
That we are all blessed in our own way,
We all have experiences in good & bad,
We all have moments of right and wrong,
We all have ways of not seeing the positives over the negatives.
What is one's person ease,
Is the other persons hardship,
What one person's hard work,
Is another person's cup of tea,
What is your walk in the park,
Is another person's walk through the trenches.
We all have our own struggles,
We all have our own point of pain,
This is just mine,
And I'm sure you have yours,
We are not any better than each other,
We are all just humans having our own human experience.
Envy is a bitch.
A cruel deadly sin that lurks within,
Eating away at our love for each other,
Creating barriers of the haves and have nots,
Identifying where we hold lack inside.
But envy can also be a catalyst for change.
Creating inspiration,
Evoking aspiration,
Driving up our determination,
Making us want it more.
What is their victory,
Is also my possibilities,
If they can do it,
So can I.
They got it with such ease,
Imagine what I'll receive if I actually try?
I put my all into it,
Bending backwards,
Beg, borrow & steal,
Determined to claim what is mine.
I achieve my goal,
I receive my glory,
I stand tall in my victory,
The evidence of all my hard work.
But soon that day will come,
Where others will see my success,
Oblivious to my journey,
Unaware of my set-backs,
Unconscious of my struggles.
Where is mine, they will say?
When do I get my chance?
How come they got it so easily?
And the truth is that,
What goes around comes around,
The endless cycle of the human condition.
We notice the similar tone,
We witness the familiar themes,
We recognise the signs of envy.
A poem called fear it's under the cut :)
Is there a reason
You feel so empty?
Is there a reason
You feel so alone?
Surrounded by people
All the time
Yet the monsters in your mind
Just won't rest
You're locked in a prison
Made in your mind
Put on a smile
Don't let them know
Cause you can take this pain
Another day.
Focus on happy thoughts
You're convinced you'll end up fine
You're overreacting
Just calm down
Cause nobody else
Says anything about this
So keep your mouth shut,
You think,
And smile at the world
Can't focus on happy thoughts anymore
Can't pay attention
They're getting worried
Cause you can't breath quite right anymore
That smile of yours a bit askew
You're locked in a prison
Made in your mind
You can't let them know
You can't take this pain
Another day.
Take some medication,
You're sure you'll be fine
Keep your mouth shut,
You think,
Cause you can't tell them how it feels
Nobody else
Tells you anything about this
You're drowning in an ocean of silence
So you keep smiling
Not sure you're doing it right but
It's convincing enough.
Medication is failing
It hurts to even think
The monsters dug their claws in so deep
You're so sick of smiling
Cause there are no happy thoughts anymore
You're chained up in your own mind
Gagged by your own fear
You up the dose
Anything to feel alive
You feel like you're insane
Nobody else
Feels this way
You're so alone
Wishing you could
Just smile again
You don't know if you'll be fine
Silence hurts
Words hurt more
Anything
To end the pain
Thoughts fade to fuzzy haze
Your own heartbeat seems like a curse
They ask you if you're afraid of death
You can’t answer
You're not afraid of death
You're afraid of life
You're so scared
Of living another day
Anything to end the pain
It's all too much
Nothing is the same
You're jumping at every noise
You just want to feel free again!
The monsters have you hostage
In your own mind
There's nothing you can do!
You don't feel fixable
You feel like a shattered mess that ruins everything and everyone
You feel like you're ruined beyond redemption, like even your soul can't be saved
You feel afraid of this life when they ask if you're really giving up
But they don't understand
The living hell you suffer though!
They don't understand
How much you keep inside!
Your mind is breaking under the stress
You're so scared of feeling this any more
One more day seems like another year
Every moment of every day is a nightmare of pain you can't escape
Your mind might as well be a weapon
You can't take it any longer!
....
You're drowning.
Because I certainly do, and I love every single one of them and their work.
my desire has become a bloodsport.
a game of such violence
and such devotion,
i'm not sure which one
makes me more sick to look at.
is the hunt the worst part,
or is it the satisfaction
that comes from the
the thrill of the chase?
the relief that comes from
sinking your teeth
into something bloody
at the end of the finish line?
i don't even know how to
identify the things that i want
unless they're covered in blood
and begging to be left alone.
