happy thoughts, they tell me,

"fill your head with happy thoughts"

oh, how i wish to

but the thing is,

my mind

is already crowded

and my demons

won't let any of these

"happy thoughts"

ruin their own

idea of a "merry-go-round"

i never held your little hands

though in my dreams, i had

we picked daisies together, we did

and your chuckles still reverberate

over my ears as i try to make sense

of it all

it doesn't make sense, nothing is

making sense

even the hole i try so hard

to fill with thoughts

of you glowing under the sun

seems fleeting

my darling, you were so perfect

but then you fade away

gently, slowly

a dream finally detaching

itself from reality

so i could wake from my sleep

did you think it will be easy?

did you think that it won't hurt?

when i opened my eyes, no words

could console me,

no amount of tears

could wash away my grief

the only thing that holds

my pieces intact is the knowledge

that your pain is over

while mine has just begun

when i grow up

i want to be

an astronaut,

an author,

a magician

as a child, it was

easy to dream

of anything

a doctor,

a scientist,

a teacher

the world is vast

and full

of possibilities

now a grown woman,

my heart just wants

to be happy

but disappointingly,

happiness is elusive and

life is a sadist

that takes pleasure

in my agony

so in a world where

we can be anything

i became a masochist

If we will ever come to a point where goodbye is inevitable, I will not ask you to teach me how to forget. Instead, I will ask you to show me how to remember. We made so many beautiful memories together, it's a shame to erase them all just because we have to part, and can no longer go back to the beginning to fall in love again. No, no matter how much it will hurt, I won't ask you to teach me how to forget. I will walk all the paths we've trodden and remember how your laughter sounded, how your fingers curled around mine, how your hair smelled under the sun, how your lips tasted. I will remember every bit of you, so when I am finally ready to let go, I can let all of you go the way I've let all the kites fly away when I was young and life was innocent and gentle and kind.

-let go,

katie, 17:30

someday i will teach

myself to write

a poem again

and it won't be about you

or the years

we wasted dreaming

about our future

while forgetting

to water the flowers

so one day they just wilted

away erasing

our existence

no, when that time comes

i'll be writing about something else

perhaps, not one about the war,

or the inflation,

or the rising heat index

i will try my best to write about

anything that does not capture

the stars in your universe,

the bubbles of thoughts floating

above your head,

the wind kissing

your hair, the rain gently gliding

in your porcelain skin

i will forget about the way

you made me feel

along with the memory

of how truth

became the first

casualty of a war

we didn't ask for,

a war that ruined

the taste

of heaven on my lips,

a war that created

waves of differing heights

and tenacity

i'll forget about the dreams

we buried beneath our fallen city,

the unread text messages,

the unpublished reels, drowned

in the echo of grenade raining

the afternoon sky, cries

of dissenters swarming the streets

like flies, shrieking out "freedom!"

oh, freedom,

when will i...

forget about everything

and write about cicadas,ignore

the ashes and screams filling

the air as i watch your head explode,

a watermelon being run over

by a truck!

i will teach myself

to write a poem that

doesn't immortalize you

however, everything

that you were stains

my hands with red-

a dark, raging

shade of red

-flowers wilting,

my september, a dream,

a swift kiss, a muffled scream

a coin rolling in a dark alley,

waiting,

waiting

to be picked

by someone

drowned in melancholy,

my september, like the thread

of hope

i was clinging to somehow

escaped with the

thoughts squeezing

my weary mind,

and i'm here still

trying-

trying my best

to figure

it out

-september, katie

Chapter 2: Exile Is Live On Tapas! Go Give It Read If You Have Time ^^

Chapter 2: Exile is live on Tapas! Go give it read if you have time ^^

Sneak Peek below:

The third guard's eyes darkened. He reached into his jacket and Fabrian braced herself for a weapon to be pulled. Instead, it was a folded piece of beige paper. The guard handed it to her. “Never, not once, did you treat us as anything more than dirt. And yet here you are, talking to us like equals. I've never seen you so adept or perceptive.” He clenched his fist. “You hated us more than anything. All of us. So if we help you here, I want you to know that we were the ones who did so. Poor common folk who you'd snivel down on.” Fabrian frowned, what kind of woman was this queen? “It was wrong of me. I'll work the rest of my life to make sure that I won’t do it again.” The three guards observed her for a long time, before stepping back into the shadows of the building and disappearing into the crowd on the main walkway. Fabrian did not see them again, even as she left the city outside the castle walls, and their presence only disappeared once she reached the town borders.

Progress made so far on the Inklings Challenge:

Got very excited. Quickly reviewed my pre-made list of ideas for every prompt on every team I’d made before the teams were assigned. Go Team Lewis!

Felt a rare surge of sheer eagerness to write. Immediately jumped into writing one of my loose ideas with no planning whatsoever.

Quickly discovered that was a bad idea if I wanted to write something with any kind of structure. Returned to the drawing board.

Came up with three Slightly More Specific ideas.

Started writing one. Realized I’d forgotten to come up with a cohesive or interesting theme for it. Immediately no longer liked that idea and started daydreaming about one of the others.

(distracted boyfriend meme)

Decided the idea I was daydreaming about would end up being way over 3k and would be far more dramatic a tale than I was prepared to tackle.

Went back to my original plan of finally writing something for a few sci-fi characters I’ve had since I was a teenager and still have a soft spot for.

Remembered I know very little about the sci-fi genre and decided to re-categorize them as space fantasy characters. Felt much better writing for a genre that had ‘fantasy’ in the name.

Remembered that those characters and their entire world still need a huge overhaul. Briefly considered writing a Portal Fantasy story instead.

Spent a day not being able to think of a good Portal Fantasy idea. Belatedly realized that was not a very productive use of a day.

Remembered that writing short stories is a million times easier if I have a theme to refer back to in each scene. Decided on one I liked and started rewriting the previous space fantasy idea to center around it.

Kept thinking about Portal Fantasy. What if I’m missing my chance to write something cooler with it?

Resolved to try to write an update post whenever I‘m procrastinating. Maybe it’ll help keep track of my thought process?

Was wishing there was a positivity post for original fiction writers since I see so many about how fanfic writers are doing so much for their communities even when they're not actively writing, and then I thought:

Be the change you want to see in the world.

So this is a positivity post for the writers out here who are working very hard on stories with no established community. Who can't talk about their blorbos and plot lines and brainstorming to anyone and expect them to know what any of it means. Who don't have much to share publicly, but are hoping they will one day.

You're doing a lot of hard work, and I recognize and appreciate what you're putting into the world, even when you're resting.
