Sanity is a cosy lie.

As one political party is going after the other today, we stay home! The unnecessary disruption by "easily swayed" individuals is something I want no part of. There is no space for me in any case.

Being the wrong colour of the rainbow does have its own drawbacks. I am here. Let see if we can find some fun, gothic fantasy content. Fantasy surpasses reality at this rate. For now, sit back and escape into a forest with me. [Rule number one - my sense of direction only kicks in at night, so leave a cookie trail. I feel like gobbling Pac-man style].

Cinders, I found your dress! Not the right colour, but we work with what we have. Remember, she's still stuck in here with us. If you listen closely, you might here her sing.

We just must make sure you keep your pretty head. Stay sensible! Your time is near.

So today is poetry day!

Tear the perfect off you, make you tell the truth.

All the angels kneel in the frozen light

Feel their hearts, cold and white

And I want you, blessed are the broken.

And I beg you, no misery is worth you. ~ An extract from Northern Star by Courtney Love and Hole

Enough forever

I tried to be myself for you

Beautiful for you.

but I never found

the reason

you admitted treason

(shelter…anytime)

I've lived my life for all of you

danced naked in the rain

asking you for the shelter of your domain

my idea of beautiful never did fit in

a bird with a broken wing

(Shelter me…anytime)

Born perfect, I took it all the way

did you ever feel

the purity in pain?

or plain pure?

(Too late…)

I took it too far. Now I have become the shelter. Look for me. From afar.

I know, my English literature professor just suffered a mini stroke. He did teach me better. Blame it on me.

In fact, just hand me the blame. I know where to bury it. The hole has been dug. Really, today of all days, you should be grateful you haven't just been dumped.

I might change my mind on that one, so tread carefully. Since you already know👇

Whoa!

Resigner, seriously?

Of course not! Don't be an "ideopath"
