Obsession"I need rest," she murmurs under the copper dyed hues of sunset's leaves.
"Why don't you lie down for a while?" He looks down upon her, intentions of night in his dark eyes.
"I need rest," she whispers as the colour begins to steadily fade.
"Then nod your head, there's naught to fear," he smiles, stardust coating his cold breath.
"I need rest," she sighs as the last of sun's warmth departs her core.
"Take a seat, my love," he encircles as a panther would its prey.
"I need rest," a cry as soft as a dove flees her lips.
"Lift your feet, one shan't stand for too long," he becomes a shadow looming.
"I need rest," her eyes of summer look u

Dear Daddy's GirlDear Naive 15,

You're ignorant as Hell.

You dress in baggy blue jeans, wear an oversized hoodie every day, and never let your hair down. Students at school, and even your mom, think you're gay… and you don't even know.

All of your classmates blame you for a burn book that circulated after that Mean Girls movie. Everyone thinks you're a jealous bitch and secretly they mock you. How can you not see that?

Your teachers are all positive that you cut yourself and that you're always on drugs. Even now you have no idea why they ask you to take your jacket off during class. Could it be that you always wear long sleeves?

It's okay, sweetheart.

Who are you? "A cat just died."
Optimist: " Cat's have nine lives! He'll be back by tomorrow."
Pessimist: " Oh poor kitty, its poor owner is going to be so sad; he won't have any friends anymore."
Realist: "The cat died... Lets bury it."
Sentimentalist: "The Cat just died! We should hold a funeral, and have flowers on its grave every day for a month and then once every month!"
Fatalist: "Okay, the cat died."
Opportunist: "We could trace the causes of death for research purposes."
Sadist: "Oooh! I can take the cat to my basement and do experiments on it! And make the kid who owned it witness my scientific adventures! Hahaha!"
Philonoist: "I must go and console the poor child whose cat just died."
Philanthropist:

By Fifty,I'll publish or perish;
find someone to cherish;
move someplace phenomenal;
display an abdominal
physique to inspire,
which I shall acquire!

. . . Or perhaps, just retire.

You'll never break meHit me
Hate me
Kick me
Bruise me
Love me
Betray me
Curse me
Disrespect me
Abuse me
Beat me
Hurt me
But
you'll

Resolution Diary2007

Resolution:
Make first million after starting own business.

Progress:
:bulletblack: Applied for a loan. Declined due to excessive account activity. Note: Constant purchasing of rare (albeit mint) wicker chairs is not conducive to bank balance. Wife insistent on selling wicker chairs to find money to start business.
:bulletblack: Bought new donut recipe book. Learnt how to make category hard donut, 'Diamond Swizzler'. Delma loves them.
:bulletblack: James offered to lend the money if he can become a business partner. Potential.
:bulletblack: First million still a long way off. Wife still nagging.
:bulletblack: Spent savings on replacing

We Were Angels"Mermaids, sirens, they don't exist," the grizzled old sailor said.

"But you saw what happened," the cabin boy insisted. His dark green eyes were wide and a bit teary; he was only twelve, and it was his first ocean voyage. Seeing a man climb over the rail and lose himself in the waves had shaken the boy up, though what was most disturbing about it was the look of bliss on the man's face as he leapt.

"Charlie was always loopy. He made himself see what he wanted to see and he jumped in after it." The old man shrugged. "We come from the sea, and it calls to us."

"The priest says we come from dust."

"Your priest has never been out of sight of

Wolf's HowlThe sweet sound
Like music to the ears
They tell the tale
About their day

They never break a tune
Like a smooth melody
They howl together
to make a strong tune

Don't make a sound
You'll interrupt the most
Beautiful song
That drifts you off to sleep

Simply YouA complexion unadorned with the demons of society.
Eyes with gentle waves that cleanse me of worry.
Lips as delicate as the petal of a rose.
A smile so bright the moon is full with envy.
Laughter that fills my ears with the most beautiful of melodies.
A soul of age, of wisdom, and of strength.

A heart that pounds with love for you.

I Comfort MyselfWith a warm drink, whispering secrets to my own reflection.

The struggles that plague me, though none may know,

Are only for the ears of my quiet mirror, who smiles

Softly, warmly and with care. He tells me, I'm fine

I've done well for now and soon I may finally rest.

Though the silence continues to press upon me,

Weighing upon my soul like an iron crate.

Still I find comfort in whispering secrets,

If only to my own reflection - holding a warm drink...

-Chen Yuan Wen, 17th October 2012

FEARFEAR:

Frantically he scrambles away from the dark
Eager to be free of his waking nightmare
Acting only upon the instinct within him;
Reminded constantly that he is prey

For some time he hides in the pervasive shadows—
Earnestly praying that he will not be discovered
A single sound is all it takes to jar him;
Running from a creature that he can barely see

From head to toe it is certainly monstrous
Enshrouded in an aura of absolute repugnance
As the acid drips from its cruel jaws,
Rapidly dissolving the ground below

Fearful, he cowers, beneath boxes and cardboard,
Escaping away into a tiny corner of his mind
Alone with only

a quick goodbyea quick goodbye. don't want to make a fuss.

this is the calm before the storm. the wind is dead. like a whisper before the tempo kicks up in a song. but you know something is happening. you can feel it in your gut.

i knew something was different because i get sinus aches with the smallest pressure changes. but i didn't pay any mind to it until i saw the clouds moving in.

"something is happening," i told her that last night we fell asleep in my bed, together for the last night until i-don't-know-when, "it makes me uneasy."

she held me tight, saying "nothing to worry about, baby, just some rain. this weather's perfect."

so here we are. run

Sick.life slouches against the door

[i think i can hear it crying]

sickly grins lick my lips;

rub the undersides

of scream-sore throats

stained with the sweetest sort of bruise

every nerve--

a soft

atrium flow;

cutting

capillaries

screams all my own

swallowed in cotton lungs

pressure in my skull

fire in my veins

holding the skin i had

clinging tighter to fragility

and i just can't find

the strength to cry

anymore

the night stretches on for months

red.

red.

black.

i shake like a leaf

Cheap fix, 360Unbound structure;
unhinged bones
locked together
with unsymmetrical
unfit screws.

None of these are meant to be here.
They are
cheap and shaven
and the
grooves are rusted.

There is no tool that can pull them out without breaking,
without collapsing
the planned out
unintended construction.

We had the instructions sure
and all the parts
but
in our fumble,
in the exchange of hands
of ALL the people who
intended to help us;

in all the accidents

(and

no one at fault
or
taking fault
for all our faults)

some fell beneath the table
underneath the drawer
into dark unreachable corners
so we worked with what we

Stay With YouAs sure as the setting sun, we'll rise each day
Our love is an infallible bond built so strong to last

If there is ever a doubt, don't worry, I'm here to stay

Ready to stand by your side through the good or bad, the better or worse
Ready to give my all to you, my heart, my last
Ready to love you through the hard times

I know everyday won't be sunny, it has to rain sometime

A love this strong will have it's challenges, but with you, I'm willing to walk that line

Even our appearances can change, but I don't love you for your physical qualities or the material possessions you might have...
I love you because what greater friend could I

That's all it really takes

To determine

A friend?

A fiend?

A pit in my stomache

more like a pit in my throat

I can't swallow it

or this conversation

I keep quiet

but the monster inside me

is eating my heart

my hands go cold

my face goes pale

all of this

over something so small

nobody else

thinks twice about this

but I do

I think about it all the time

and how they would snicker

or frown

or yell

Yell like how I want to yell

_{My entry for 's Beauty literature contest. The idiom given was "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Here's a link to the journal. [link]

When I wrote this I thought of a light switch and what people choose to see as opposed to what they don't want to see. I was thinking of adding more but I liked that it was short so I kept it that way.

I have a DD. I just. Wow. Thank you all so much. I'm so thankful.}
