I fled all of the way across the sea
But there is never an escape for me
I live in paradise, no grades, no stress
Yet here I am again, always regress
When all the monsters are inside your head
An angsty teen still anxious in her bed
But I am 20, not 13, and still
I’m still trapped and depressed, please God, when will
My mental anguish end, is there no hope
Or joy for me I can sustain? Just cope
And love the Lord and lose my mind
Searching in vain for that which I can’t find
Sick to my stomach, missing all I had
Though knowing this is better, I feel bad,
No, dreadful, selfish, worthless, stupid, fake
Embarrassed, paralyzed by each mistake
I couldn’t ask for more, it’s not enough
There’s no place on this earth that’s up to snuff
I am a traveler, stranger in this land
Not Italy, but earth itself, I stand
In fear of God, oh Jesus come, your hand
Be in my life, and may this life be grand
A stupid ending to a stupid poem
My old self-loathing just wants to go home
Mood of The Night
listen. that feeling where you have a cold or something and suddenly your nose is all plugged up and you have to breathe through your mouth all night? and then it dawns on you that you took your nose for granted this whole time. yeah that feeling. cursed
Hello Void I am back, I am leaving for the airport in 4 hours and in about 30 hours I will be in Italy for the next four months, and I gotta tell you I am very glad that I decided to stay alive. All glory to God.
Poems for a summer day:
(my favourite poet)
A something In a summer's day
Summer shower
Further In summer than the birds
As sleigh bells seem In summer
It can't be "Summer"!
Summer for thee, grant I maybe
It will be Summer - eventually
I taste a liquor never brewed (the best poem ever)
The one who could repeat the summer day
What shall I do when the summer troubles
Ourselves were wed one summer - dear
So much summer
I know a place were summer strives
Would you like summer? Taste of ours.
There came a day at summer's full
Her final summer was it
Twice had summer her fair verdure
The trees like tassel - hit and swung by
The Human Seasons
On the grasshopper and cricket
Shall I compare thee to a Summer's Day
Over hill, over dale - from A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Book Fourth [Summer Vacation]
Daffodils (not about summer, but gives me summer vibes)

Guys I am doing my 10 year anniversary pure heroine listen and I know I have completely recovered from mental illness now because I listened to ribs and I didn’t even astral project, I just felt vaguely fond, and a little sad for the little me who related so hard to that song. 21 sure is different than 11 holy lord(e)
It’s a citrus kinda day,
Sour sweet oranges and yellows,
I am filled with a tingling on my tongue,
And the smell of summer,
I’m alive,
My hands are sticky,
And taste of tangerines,
It is bright out,
But I’m not blinded,
The sun is in my eyes,
But I remembered my sunglasses,
I’m alive
My depression is slowly being replaced with anxiety, my nihilism with fear of losing it all, I experienced a brief moment of absolutely buckwild animal fear today when my philosophy professor mentioned the word evil, and I remembered that in fact I am evil and everyone else is too, I had to turn my brain off to concentrate again
Feeling so emo over this quote rn bc I made it! I’ve been waiting for this day since I first read this six years ago and to be finally honestly able to say that I have reached a place where I believe it to be true, not just in general but about me, where it truly resonates, is incredible in the literal most literal sense. I don’t believe it but man I sure am glad I stuck it out.
22, she/her, I love words and also lots of other things and want to express my love for them unrecognized by others
