“Words were different when they lived inside of you.”
— Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (via razreads)
the books I’ve read all make up the tiny pieces of my soul; to read them is to read into my heart
if there's anything tumblr has taught me it's that this guy named franz kafka was in agony 365 days a year
hands are cold but feet unmoving, watching magic in the night
I didn’t mean to say it in my head and I didn’t mean to whisper it at night
it’s nearly night, frost creeping in on silent feet
it’s the song of night that draws me in
at night, when I’m alone, I look up and I can see the stars
a lantern far away glimmers and I can run away into the night
take me to a place in the middle of the night when the stars shine brighter as the sky turns slowly lighter
in the coolness of the night, send the shadows into flight
But as I’m walking forward, I’m walking into the night
in the heartland, where the night creeps in solemnly
you bought tomorrow and banished the night
if I ever think about you at night, if I whisper your name so soft
make a little more color in a lightened up night
and the night was upon us as the dark came creeping in, do you remember?
sometimes I dread the night, and feel so bitter
if the night can hold my hand and if the shadows are my friends I guess I’m alright
I can’t see the moon against the brightness of night
waiting for the light to untie night’s strings and the sky to come undone
the night was ebbing in and out like the sea
I am the power, I am the night
the past that haunts and fears that slide around in the back of my brain at night
like the closing of a story, the night rolls across the page
which is more lovely, the night or the day?
late night hurting, fever’s chill, I want a word, I need a will
let me stich your constellations onto the quilt of my night sky
endearments in letters to véra
I could achieve anything, but
I’m scared to begin.
There are insidious whispers
Lurking deep within,
And they speak their snide utterings,
What-ifs and maybes
And possible problem checklists
Will cause me to freeze.
I must flex my resilience,
Fight the fear within,
Because not one thing will happen
Until I begin!
A weak week!
I buried my head in a pillow to bawl
Knees to my chest like a ball
I guess it was the Domino effect
Of being vulnerable, easy to affect
Sometimes my heart twists and wrings
Most often my head hurts and rings
I assure you it's not just a phase
I've tried but the feeling doesn't faze.
No one really saw the signs
Even if it's simple science
At last I cried out aloud
Louder than I was allowed.
(there's something so comforting about homophones. <3)
If this ain't your jam we can't be friends!
“my child is completely fine”
uhh your child listens to achilles come down on repeat while romanticising the beautiful tragedy of death.
this website lets you listen to the sounds of all different forests around the world
Therapy can't fix me, I really need an exorcism
Never felt more seen.
"Dark academic?" More like "someone please help me holy shit I can't continue living like this and the only thing keeping me from falling off my rocker is literature."
