How to undig the hole I've dug

I do not lose sleep at night because I'm too excited. Dreams of puppies and kittens are for the lucky ones; Not for me. I lay awake from the emptiness in my chest too fearful to slip into unconsciousness, Where the Kittens turned to lions and the puppies turned to wolves and tear my heart and soul out piece by piece. Depression lurks in my shadows, and only two people can possible lull me back to sleep, ironically with the first name starting with the letter A. Maybe because they're my Plan A (and B, and C, and Y and Z....) i. Just hold me.        I'll resist, I'll push you away, but I guarantee I need your love on these nights more

Warum wir stark sind

Wir sind stark geworden, und zäh. Nicht hart wie nach einem Krieg. Nicht bitter wie nach schwerem Verlust. Wir wurden stark durch Freiheit. Gezwungen, selbst zu wählen in einer offenen Welt, Gezwungen, worum es auch geht, tausend Meinungen hinzunehmen. Und wissend, dass unsere Freunde Böses tun und unsere Feinde ihre Kinder lieben - wie wir. Wir gehen unseren Weg, Nur einen aus unzählbaren Möglichkeiten. Da ist kein Richtig oder Falsch mehr. Wir sind stark geworden, denn wir haben in all diesen Verwirrungen Vertrauen gewonnen: zu uns.

Jacked Up

Jacked Up by PoetryOD (https://www.deviantart.com/poetryod) (This is one of my stories, and not real!) My boyfriend slashed one of my car tires. I didn't realise it at first. I had the day off work and we'd been lazing together in our seasonable bed, when he suggested we go out for lunch. Now my boyfriend is many things but keen to leave the house he is not. He likes to be at home, tinkering in the shed and whatnot. I should have been suspicious but it had been such a hazy dreamy morning that I just wanted to spend time with him before Monday morning ruined it all. It took some time to get out of the house though, because as I was brushing my hair he commented on

„Wie kann ich dich retten?“, fragte ich ihn, als ich ihn mutlos am Ufer der Insel sitzen sah, deren sandiges Ufer von brennender Lava umgeben war. Über ihm ertönten die Schreie derer, die er liebte, und er konnte keinen Schritt von der Insel tun. Er schüttelte nur erschöpft mit dem Kopf, und so bat ich: „Bitte sag es mir, was muss ich tun, um dich zu retten?“ Er wandte den Kopf zur Seite. Er wollte mich nicht ansehen, wie ich mit meinen nackten Füßen im flüssigen Gestein stand. Doch die Regeln seiner Welt galten nicht für mich, und so spürte ich nur eine dumpfe Wärme,

The City of Wind

Skalhalla, that is the name of the city of wind. A ship, larger than any vessel ever built. The hulk is a dwelling for hundreds, towered by a forest of masts and rope. Tattered sails fly in the wind. They twist and coil, grasp like scrawny fingers to catch the wispy clouds. A hundred yardarms hang in the heights, creaking, swaying in the brisk breeze, while swarms of gulls circle the rigging, fighting over morsels of refuse and fish. Their shrill screeches are carried off by the biting winds, towards the cliff and rocks. The leviathan's hull lies stranded on the beach, listing heavily, with sand clinging to the splintering wood. The biting c

You May Say I'm An Artist...

Share  |  Archive By techgnotic (https://www.deviantart.com/techgnotic) I am haunted in this holiday season by the opening lines of Charles Dickens’s A Tale of Two Cities, his novel about a society 250 years ago coming apart in its seemingly irreconcilable divisions. Could it be these lines define where we have come to find ourselves today? “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, in the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair…” ur own epoch is one of the tec

Ich habe Flügel bekommen. Sie waren fälschlicherweise in meinem Innern gewachsen, und hatten schon so auf meine Lunge gedrückt, dass mir das Atmen schwer wurde. Bis ein Arzt sie bemerkte und mir half, sie zu befreien. Schwach und verklebt sind sie. Und doch: Ich habe Flügel!
