we walk by baretoedgirl, literature

Literature

we walk

we walk because we must some of them say we swagger because we live in this world and we cannot hide or live without gazes sliding over us hardening cruelly or narrowing in suspicion so we walk we sway we swagger rolling our hips and planting our feet firmly on the ground saying "here I am I am not afraid of your eyes your stranger's eyes staring as if I were the alien a stranger in a strange land my own land but never belonging the land I walk over testing my feet balancing on heel and toe rolling forward taking step after step in the defiant dance of my walk for I will not be ashamed of the length of my str

Grey by baretoedgirl, literature

Literature

Grey

it's a grey whale sky today, heavy and immense under which I am crawling slowly sluggish as sap I'm thinking about how difficult you make it to get close to you and stay there and not drift I try to anchor myself but end up like the bare-limbed, still wintering trees standing alone in empty fields, abandoned even by the birds we haven't spoken in three days and my heart lies heavy, heavy in my aching chest, trying to slumber through the cold months to some distant dream of spring while fog rolls across the hills rising and falling with last year's dry grass and I shiver in my coat, wondering when will I see you

Starbucks Heartache by baretoedgirl, literature

Literature

Starbucks Heartache

I wasn’t lonely until I saw them Two gleaming heads close Together One slender arm slung Along the other’s chair back No one else existing at all I wanted it then for myself So keenly that I had to look away Or break right there I sat very still for a while Trying not to look Because looking made my eyes Prick dangerously Until finally I just had to escape Into the cool, clean, white tiled restroom Leaving my things under strangers’ eyes So I might be free to Shiver Shake Cheeks burning Hands gripping my hair Face twisted to stop the ache My sudden, sharp loneliness escaping With violence Into this sterilized Starbucks Al

Complicated by baretoedgirl, literature

Literature

Complicated

You’re my best friend And as if that weren’t complicated enough I’m pretty sure you’re straight And I’m pretty sure you don’t know I’m not But my heart doesn’t understand these things My heart doesn’t want to listen to my reasons Why this is a bad idea It just wants And while most of the time I don’t know If what I feel for you is just friendship mixed With sisterhood and loneliness or Something more dangerous Right now I want to kiss you I don’t go farther than that in my mind I don’t know what you’d do or say Or how I’d even go about kissing yo

Staged by baretoedgirl, literature

Literature

Staged

Who have we been all these years, You and I What parts have we played Who wrote the scripts we faithfully Performed Rarely improvising Hesitant to break character Unwilling to breach the distances Cross the stage From our assigned positions So well rehearsed Enter stage left Exit the same Never surprising ourselves Or the audience Who was us but amplified Our voices echoing In the empty theatre we made Thrown back at us in mockery From the highest seats The balconies Blacker smudges in the dark And filled with empty faces Our faces Watching us circle one another Upon the dusty boards Making small talk and big talk But never once faltering Fla

Windblown

0 min read

Yesterday I went on a hike and it was so beautiful and so green and SO WINDY, and my hair got blown every which way until I felt completely free, with nothing left to hide and I realised I would like to write like that. So I am going to try to post more often now, and get this rusty brain of mine moving again, because somehow yesterday inspired me when nothing else has been able to. Happy Spring, everyone! DO STUFF.

Because this is apparently all I do on here now...

I think this is guilting me into posting something. Even if it's slightly depressing stuff. Whatever. MOST: 1. Prized possession. - My childhood doll? I don't know, I don't think about possessions. 2. Favorite childhood memory. - Picking blackberries and eating all of them. 3. Stupid thing you've ever done. - Not seeing a friend while I could have (she died a year later in an accident). 4. Recent foreign country you've been in. - France (airport), otherwise, Macedonia 5. Embarrassing moment. - Fainting at the eye doctor's. HAVE YOU EVER: 6. Dated someone twice = Nope.   7. Been cheated on = Nope. 8. Kissed someone & regretted

Ten Things

0 min read

~selenne1202 (https://www.deviantart.com/selenne1202) tagged me, and I love her, so I'm doing this. But I refuse to play by the rules, so ha! Ten Things: 1. I'm about to apply for grad school (two in America, two in England), to get my MA in Museum Studies. Terrified. 2. This Halloween I'm going to be Paul McCartney (specifically that lovely vest/shirt/pants outfit from MMT). Just think, fifteen years ago or something, I was a weird green goblin thing with warts. And that was cool, oh yes. I think I've gotten lazy. 3. This summer I got glasses, chopped off all my hair into a pixie cut, and made some changes to the way I think about myself. It was a busy summer. 4. I have s
