wolf



I remember you as everything but your name. So I called you the wolf, the predator of the dark with a sharp eye that could spot the slightest of vulnerabilities.  The way you sank your teeth into my throat in a way that held me paralyzed so I couldn’t cry for help. You slipped your body into mine, pretending to not notice that I didn’t seem to replicate the actions you forced me into. I still wake up in hot sweats thinking about the way you satisfactorily licked your lips after you had feasted on my insecurities and left me like a limp prey awaiting death. It’s true I didn’t die, but a part of me sure did and as you walked away I wish I were dead.  The body no longer felt like my own, I was trapped in this body where I no longer felt welcome. I was a guest in the only place I had felt welcomed, you made me feel like an outsider in the truest sense. The sky grew overcast with clouds the color of a corpse, and it sucked me in and sure enough I was the storm. I was the eye of the storm and kept a careful eye on you to remind myself to stay far away from you. I could only watch as I destroyed everything in my path until there was no sign of life to associate with the body that caged my spirit. You really did break me; you made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to draw attention to myself. You made me feel so small that I no longer mattered even to myself. There were days where I would want to crawl under the dining table and pray I’d become invisible and then there were times where I’d smash everything that dared stand in my way. I was gifted with abundance of rage but not so much self worth. I tried to seem stronger than what I really felt and that was draining, trying to be someone else, someone strong, for every waking minute was tiring. Falling asleep was harder than it was to tell someone about how I was raped. I lay awake in bed with my eyes glued open because every time my eyes shut, I found myself revisiting the trauma. I still felt my skin crawl with the infection you put into me which reminded me of only you.

Angst and Epiphany

Devastation broke loose in the skies covering it with the color of cat vomit. Birds left the trees and then the tears broke loose. The day ended with the dying rays of the sun, it refused to reveal any hints of who we had come to become. We stopped believing in monsters under our beds when we learnt that the real ones lurk in the shadows of our past and had built houses in our minds. The demons rioting our hearts reminding us of our ghosts that haunt us at nights, and get to us when we're at our weakest. It took just one mistake to fall into the cycle of eternal pain, no matter how hard we tried to camouflage and change our identities, we'd always stick out like a sore thumb. Now nothing was ever enough and all we craved for now was a sense of security, we found it in each other, and that's when everything spiraled downwards. I felt the wind in my hair as I fell, with no idea of how the impact would devastate me. But surely enough breakdowns ran its course and it was...

All time low

Its all been lifeless, The wind in my hair and the rain drops on my face, They mean nothing. Everything beautiful now, Is a reminder of the war within. Only the good ones die young, Other wise why is it that we grow up to only break down. Maybe we are already dead, and greatfully so. Maybe we're the walking dead, our hearts made of hardened sadness of our souls. We must be damaged, Other wise why is it that we have scars on our wrists and thighs? We work on life for as long as we remember, Only to be buried in seconds. My heart is cold and my hands are stone. I don't feel the life when a butterfly stops to say hello, Or the leaves in the forest that try to save me, from myself. We've all grown up to become the poeple, we'd swore to never be. And when we did grow up, Nothing was as it seemed.

13 Reason Why romanticizes suicide

13rw romanticizes suicide. Before I start with this I feel compelled to say that suicide is never an easy option for anyone to take, the fact that you’ve been pushed to such a point where you believe that it is your only option is hard and even unthinkable to some of us. Now having said that, I would like to commend the directors and the writers of 13rw for making suicide look like a hard decision for someone to make and to deliver such a rock solid script is anything but easy so kudos to y’all. You must have realized by now that I actually feel that the message the TV series 13rw tried to deliver is extremely valid and that my title is basically click bait. There have been a lot of people criticizing the TV series saying that it made suicide seem like a “cool” option for teenagers and that the show had actually encouraged teens to decide to take their lives. Another thing that has been floating around is that the show depicts suicide to be a way to draw attention to yourself. ...
