Okay great, I just have one more question.










What matters to you?

What matters to me?
What matters to me is...
Wow, that's a great question
I wasn't expecting that question


It's not as though it's a rhetorical question
They're expecting a staged answer
So if I had that staged answer
I would have said something along the lines of...
But I don't think I need to specify what springs to my mind when not put on the spot

So let me re-phrase your question
What should matter to me?
What should I care about?
What is expected of me?

I will not answer your question
For I'm not a premeditated murderer
It's not as though I have a script up my sleeve
But wait, a script up the sleeve is far to obvious 
Yours is embedded in your brain

We cannot predict every move, every action
We are the lowly pawns on this chessboard

What premeditated thing should I say that will make me seem like a better person?

In my case my outcome was determined before I even opened my mouthAll Rights Reserved

MELANCHOLY | Melancholy drips from my fingertips. SOON TO BE A PUBLISHED PAPERBACK. COMING 2025! This melancholy drips from my fingertips so slowly, you begin to forget I even exist. All of me, the hard parts of flesh you could never seem to love, drips down the drain. I am waiting for the day for your fingers to unscrew the pipes, dig through debris and mess, scrape your heart against the rust, just to find me, so we can go through it all over again. Here, in the pages I find myself, in the ink that writes against my flesh, I will whisper the sadness, the heartache, and the decaying for all of the unspoken. Perhaps under this layer of melancholy, the girl I once knew still exists.    First poetry collection in the series. Original poems based off real life experiences. #12 in poetry.

Trapped in my own head by WildImaginations16

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!
