17/02/22 I have been a victim. Of all sorts. I have suffered, and I do have trauma to tell. I have past instances that I recall sometimes and only in retrospect understand that they led to other traumas occurring. As a woman, I understand I have a different place in society than men. As a [...]

Come Up/Down
Comment on the come up, not the come down Don’t let those nightmares clown you till you drown Never hold yourself to sadness’ standards Or only see yourself when you drop your crown There’s a million moments to embarrass yourself, but recovery can start right now If the mornings after are the worst days, then [...]
Crumbs Of You
You sit with crossed legs In a where’s Wally number Round frames, and dark rings From lack of slumber Usually I like a bit of pillow But when your stripes rose as you scratched I couldn’t help trail along the inverted belly And latch myself to dreams of catch I’m more concerned you’re fruity Than [...]
Feed Your Head 17/01/22
17/01/22 I’m skint! Just like most people at the moment. Christmas drains our pockets, rent then comes pinching swiftly after along with dinner and all the other bits and bobs we need to survive - or think we need to survive. I was doing alright; being conservative with my student maintenance loan, going for the [...]
I Love a Good Fantasy
I don’t need some swashbuckling rogue To come sweep me off my toes And keep me off my feet Or come pirating my heartbeat I don’t need saving from the defeat Of my femininity Or the deplete of my concrete When it becomes buttered meat After he touches me I’m more than a maiden needing [...]
The Bubble of Trap
I didn’t feel the pain when I was with you But now it’s like my chest has been caved in Paved in and pounded with metal fists Splintered by atomic hits Ripped like a prepubescent’s wrists And fitting like the lekky boxes’ trips I keep tugging at my top ribs Hoping to alleviate some of [...]
Oi! Oi! Oi! It’s 2022! 17/12/21
17/12/21 Can’t believe we’re at year’s end! Been through a million lives the last three-sixty-five. I started with Hermit. That life included not leaving my yard, eating, sleeping a lot, studying and being a bit bloody bored. I was encapsulated by the euphoria of feeling quite care free; I had worries but they didn’t overpower [...]
Devastate
Come back to me When you are free Of yourself Come back to joy And happiness And health Come back to love And open up And delve Into my arms They’re waiting for your Embrace I will be your Head first Not your escape (I only want to mend, Not devastate) By Lyric Deep.
Bristol
I thought that light spray and bright gap In the reflection of the window Was the ping back of the space that Fed air through my inner thighs Until I saw you two’s silhouettes shifting into each other and I realised When the breakthrough got smaller and smaller That I wasn’t growing in size But [...]
Shani: Being Different But Different Together 17/11/21
17/11/21 We itched over it for two weeks until the day finally arrived. I had been writing in bed that day, living up to all my cliches, and Shani had been at her new job at the nursery. I finally got that text: leaving now. That meant I had fifty minutes to get some clobber [...]
