28: Painted a Monster
Ive
Been
Painted a monster
For
Forever
Near
And
Far
The ones
Who
Shine
The
Flashlight
Can
Not
See
Your shadows
It’s another meal
On another day
Apex predator
With
Maps
And technology
Or
Just simply
Miles away
With
Blind
Intuition
Still
So
Predictable
Used to it
26: The Tables Have Turned
We met
On the radio
Casual
Casualty
Words
That live
9 lives
Rent free
In
My
Head
Fallen
Out
Of
Favor
Never
Remembering
Any
Name
Associated
Close
Contact
And the rest
Buried
In
That backyard
Summer night
Listening
To the radio
Without
Educated
Ears
25: Birthday Gift
Optimal
Optimism
A whole new lense
Lent
To me
Beyond
Blinds
Birthday Gift
Scarlet Letter
And
Too
Hot
To
Bake
Inevitably
Ostracized
Two
Made
One
The
Day
I received
My
Invisibility
Cloak
24: Astral
It’s
Astral Projection
Baby
Don’t
Haunt me
Movement
In
The corner
Of
My room
Who
Are you
Shadow
Or
Foe
Friend
Or
Fiend
It’s Astral
Projection
Baby
Where
Are
You
I
Hear
My Own Name
Lost
Under
The
Covers
Lost
Under
The
Eaves
Of
This
Haunted
Home
Chapter 22: Credit
Reverence
Safe
From grief
Illusory
Glass
Half full
False tragedies
And
Fictions
From
Behind
The
Locked doors
Of
Your
Untapped
Creativity
Why
No one
Gave you
Credit
For
All
Of
The
Thorny
Suspicions
...
I’m on to you
Hey-
Oh boy everyone-
It’s a Monday for sure over here...
I’m really struggling with the low energy today
We have an ailing kitty
And it’s really made me super sad
I’m trying to perk up
Rally and what not
So tricky
My mind is a cesspit
I try to stop it
I crawl out for a sec
Then fall back in
Anyone else?
Anyway
Trying to stay focused
Even if everything feels wrong
Get back to vlogging
I’m posting more on Instagram
...
Idk
We’ll get through this together...?

Chapter 21: Hellebore
Spring
Is
Coming
And
I’m a hellebore
It’s
Not
Meant to be
The Ants
At
Your picnic
I
Peeled
Back
A few
Layers
That’s all
And
It’s everything
More sun
Equals
More
Bloom
That
Is
All
Now
I’m
Craving
The
Fruits
Of Summer
Chapter 20: Mermaids
Mermaids
I could’ve
Used
Your knowledge
The Undercurrents
The Tides
The Rocks
I knew
At some point
I’d
Run aground
Shipwrecked
With
The Best of ‘em
Did I
Deserve
Silence
From
The Universe
Impossible
To hear
From
These Depths
Karmic
Justices
From
The Past
Carried
Forward
To pull
Me under
Again
I’ve
Held my breath
For Years
Seems
Only natural
To be
Hanging
With the Mermaids
Chapter 19: Break
Take
A break
Breathe
Hit
The brakes
Deep breath
Come
To a halt
Too far
Rest
Relax
Why won’t you
Stop
Before
You
Break
Chapter 18: Demon Suit
Demon
Let’s talk
Come for dinner
Next Tuesday
Or
Stop in
For
A coffee
With me
Within me
You hide
Come out
No shame
No
Hate
I won’t
Judge
Your
Hard shell
I would
However
Now
Or
Never
Like
My
Shiny
Soft
Innocent
Inner
Self
Back
So
They can know
That
I
Will
Have
Their
Back
At
Every turn
