I sleep in ashes
ashes from the bed of memory
please, remember me
as my ashes drift away
I sleep in ashes
built by magic matches
guilt and regret
of my past's patches
I sleep in ashes
fire forgotten
all is broken,
all is rotten
cracks fill the glass
and the glass is grateful
for the glass is thrown away,
purpose destroyed,
it lives forever, however
it shrivels and damages all in its way
they sleep in ashes
because of my mistakes
I abused my power
and put their lives at stake.
Though they sleep in ashes,
there is one thing they forget,
their pain is cooked over the ashes,
but they don't feel the fire yet.
We all sleep in ashes
and we're blinded by the heat
numbed by the fear and rumors
of the hope our ashes bring.
I sleep in ashes
I sleep in dread
I live in a simulation,
and I sleep in a buried bed.
-GS

The Words I couldn't Say
This is a place for me to put all the things I wish I said but I just couldn't. These are a way for me to "say" these things without actually saying them to the person I want to. I probably won't ever go back or read any of these because it's like revisiting a bad memory so don't expect much in terms of editing. Also I wouldn't consider this poetry but it is laid out that way. WARNING Talk of depression, suicide, anxiety, and self harm. Don't read if you don't like things like that and may get triggered. I don't mean to cause anyone problems of any sort, but these are the things I feel and can't help. Please keep negativity away as this is a sensitive subject for a lot of people. Thank you.

Rose from His Ashes
There is no value in dying. That's what I told myself every time I saw him waste away, drowning in alcohol and regrets. And yet, when I first heard her voice, whispering a quiet, desperate prayer, my world began to change. The only thing that kept me sane was words. The ones I read, the ones I twisted, the ones I threw at people just to see how they'd react. And then there was her-Nadia, the new literature teacher, the only one who didn't just dismiss me as another lost cause. She had the kind of sharpness that cut in just the right places, the kind of presence that made people underestimate her until they realized she was always three steps ahead. She started the literature club. Said it was a place for people who had something to say. The club became something else entirely. A place where words were both refuge and ruin, where the broken came not to be mended, but to carve their scars into words. Mira, too soft for this world but still stubborn enough to stay. Selene, silent but seeing everything. Adam, pretending not to care but always listening. Elyas, the golden boy with secrets he'd rather bury. Kira, the Queen, watching us all like a predator sizing up prey. Nadia, looking down from her throne, amused at how predictable we were. And Lina, always meeting my gaze like she was waiting for me to strike first. I should have known that fire like hers was bound to burn everything down. I don't know when it started. When she stopped being just a game to me. When I realized that all the things I thought I hated about her were the very things that made me come back. But by then, it was too late. Because in the end, there was fire. But the thing about fire is that it doesn't just destroy. Sometimes, it leaves something behind. And that's why she rose from my ashes.
