When I was younger and had no light grey clouds crawling in and out of my mind as if I was just a temporary home for them for the sparkling night, I used to write in diaries as if it was a job I’d dreamed about since I was born.
My hand would ache after I poured my river onto the creme pages.
But then, when secondary school slowly passed by, the need to have my hand interact with the pen and paper like what I loved to do when I was younger disappeared like an imaginary ghost that used to float in the skies of the night, hoping that a dream would creep into my mind.
But then poetry entered my life like a new boyfriend who has promised to always stay with me.
It begged for me to pour my water-filled emotions into it like a cup, and it promised to throw it out at the end of the night while I drowned in another dreamless sleep. It wanted me to pretend my world wasn’t crumbling around me like in cliché T.V. shows people would watch during the weekend as they would try to turn off their minds.
Poetry would sing at the top of its lungs whenever I sat in front of a screen as I began painting my blueness into black words. Poetry wrapped its arms around me as I rested my fingers on the keyboard while I waited for Poetry to hand me a cluster of words that wanted to be heard.
When I was younger, I had no light grey clouds that would follow me around, wanting to dance with me like a husband I don’t yet have.
When I was younger, I used to flow words on the cream pages whenever I had the time.
But then, when those light grey clouds consumed me, Poetry was there, ready to wrap me in its warm hug.

My mind is mush as I lay on my bed while my laptop screams at me as YouTube videos drown out my loneliness.
the alphabet soup
Letters that try to form words (which always seem to want to go against me when they swim around my mind) are getting drowned out by the videos that are still beating on and on like drums practising before their first-ever band concert.
My stomach floats up and down, wanting to float away while hoping my outer skin would look flatter.
Scars still litter my skin, but predominately my thighs, stretching whenever I move and lay down. The fresher ones cry out during the mist of the day. They beg for fresher cuts as if they’re growing fruits and vegetables while the sun glistens in the light blue skies.
My skin wants to feel itself breaking apart as if it’s dying in a ditch, as it’ll bleed out, crying like it dances in the rain after finding out they would never be the same again.
the alphabet soup
The rain falls, pittering and pattering on the rooftops.
My thighs still itch from the redding scars. What if they’re infected? Is it normal for my scars to itch so much?
My mind is mush as I lay on my bed while my laptop screams at me as YouTube videos drown out my loneliness.
My body is drowning in acid while I scream like a dying calf in the forest.
I can’t breathe, but I don’t know if I want to.

You should do it.
You shouldn’t do it.
You should do it.
You shouldn’t do it.
Why can’t you make up your mind?
Rain has been crumbling
inside my home for three
and a half weeks,
wanting to know
every inch
of it as if they were hired
to renovate the early 1800s home.
“Sorry for the mess,” I say
as The Endless Well walks in
with a slightly crooked smile.
“No worries,” she says
as she takes off her shoes,
then walks in
as if dead roaches
scattered around the entryway.
The house is nearly empty.
The clock ticks and tocks
on the wall. My mind
is surprisingly clean.
The Endless Well sits on the black leather couch.
You should change the trajectory of your career.
You should begin working on the short story collection.
Maybe you’re doing
something
wrong in your career.
You should change the genre of your podcast.
You should stack your schedule.
How about starting a new poetry collection?
You should quickly release a series.
The Endless Well spits
out her words like
a poisonous snake
sinking its teeth
into the ankle
of an unsuspecting adult
sitting in the sand
as they stare into the distance.
Then she leaves.
You should do it.
You shouldn’t do it.
You should do it.
You shouldn’t do it.

Whenever the words are etched
onto the empty pages,
there’s the tiniest
voice at the back of my head, whispering,
This is not good enough.
This isn’t good enough.
When the words sneak
into my mind like a snail
in the rain during Fall,
it beats me
similar to a boxer in the ring
as there are occasional
flashing lights from the crowd
that’s on the edge of their seats.
You are not good enough.
It only comes every once in a while,
echoing
like crows or rosters
at 6 in the morning.
You are not good enough.
You should quit.
Why are you still writing?
You will never be successful.
You should quit.
Who would read your grey-tinted words?
You’re not good enough.
When will your writing ever
dance on the rooftop, glittering
with diamonds and rainbows
as the mouth threw up
the galaxy with illuminating stars?
Your writing will never be good enough.
You will never be good enough.

It flies in the beauty of the daylight.
Its wings push the hot air
around it as it leaps
and nearly crashes into the lavenders.
The wings are white, desperate
not to be stained
by this grey
darkness that follows them.
The grey darkness always
lingers a step or two behind it
as it hides in its own darkness.
The butterfly tries to cry out,
but its mouth is stitched shut with black ink.
The butterfly.
Its wings flap around,
carrying the butterfly
across the province
as it's desperate
for an escape. Maybe
this little getaway will make things all better.
