Hanging Plants

(SCENE: A small den. Bookshelves, cabinets, and tables line all four walls. Two hallways lead out of the room. There is a place where windows should be; however, bookshelves block any possible light from coming through. Junk lines every available inch of countertop and shelve - old musky books, board games from the fifties, tinker toys, Lincoln logs, etc. There are framed pictures leaning against the base of some of the shelves, old family pictures showing two young female children and what can be presumed to be their parents standing in front of their new Studebaker. All are dressed in what can be described as "Sunday best" clothing.

As Told By...

Sometimes, I feel like my life is a sitcom. No, seriously. I feel like as I walk down the street, to and from classes, or even to my car after work, that I'm being followed. Not in that creepy I'm-being-stalked-by-random-rapist way, just that all eyes are on me all the time. As I look at my surroundings sometimes, I think I catch a glimpse of a camera or a microphone out of the corner of my eye. It almost excites me, this feeling that people actually want to see what I'll do next, where I'll go or who I'll meet. I think I'll be sad when my show is canceled. My words may seem egotistical, but they're not meant to be. I just feel as

I see you as you walk down the street giving me that come hither look that i've gotten so used to I trot over to you, half-expecting you to rush up to me as well; you simply stare into my eyes I approach you, cautiously, not quite sure what you are thinking hoping to God you're not angry I sense anger within you, see the pain twisting over your face as if what I did was wrong I lean over to you, gently whisper into your upturned ear, "you never meant a thing to me" I feel you breaking beneath me, a fragile, meek body, complete with a shattered soul I simply turn and walk away from you carrying the burden of your b

Lust Forsaken by thecolourblue, literature

Literature

Lust Forsaken

With eyes that drink Like alcohol, You look at me with An intoxicating glare And I come under your influence With just a glance The purest of pain Descends now As I wake from the night of Indulgence; Too much. The weight upon me now Crashes me into you, once again. Faultering steps I take to your tomb For I know what lies beneath fresh wounds; The throbbing of my heart And the pulsing of my feet Keep me pushing, robotically, To wonder and prod my way Back to you. Peeling away At dead skin on the surface, I find only demise Below and within; But before I pry Too deep, still shallow, I am rescued, restored By the han

NaNoWriMo, November, and thoughts.

0 min read

I decided a few weeks ago that it was time for me to get off my lazy ass and actually do something productive for once, specifically attack and conquer the NaNoWriMo beast. ...naturally, I slacked.  I've started now.  It's a personal look into my life, an autobiography of sorts.  I think for the initial writing it's going to be uncensored, then edited later for names only and internet-released. People have joked before that if I ever did attempt such a work I'd have to sell it as fiction, and they're right.  I've been going over some of the incidences of my life in my head and even I can't believe half of them let alone expect others to.

Thoughts

God.  Life is so fucked up sometimes. Emotions are too much sometimes.  I hate them, yet I embrace them knowing I'll get bitten in the end.  I suppose you could call me a masochist of the mind, if you will. I fell for a boy I shouldn't have, and now I'm paying the price because of messed up circumstances that neither of us can control.  Before anyone asks, it's not because of age - he is, after all, seventeen going on eighteen within the next few months.  But I can't really say what the circumstances either.  I'd be giving too much away. Once again, censuring myself in an online journal.  Huy. I wish I could just leave.  I wish I could ge

Look.  Here's a thought to the woman in Alabama who starved her kids to death or to the couple from Florida who tortured their foster kids: GIVE YOUR KIDS UP TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS THEM. It's really not that difficult.  Why, when you Google the word adoption, several million websites pop up with instructions about how to put your kids up for adoption.  Really.  Think about it.  Doing it this way saves you a lot of grief about having to find a lawyer who will defend your ass.  It will also save the rest of America from having to read about the sick, twisted things you do to your children, and it will give news reporters less to talk about so t
