Why? by bootsandpatches, literature

Literature

Why?

I see my old scars Faded, hard to see unless you know. I thought I had it under control, I had healed. Apparently not. Why, monster, have you chosen me again? I overcame you once before, Through tears and shaking and No one to help me. Why, monster, have you re-entered me, Violated me once more? Don't you think I can keep you at bay? Have I not proven myself to you? Why, monster, do you want me to bow down and call you "Master"? I stopped doing that years ago. I thought I proved to you that I am only loyal to myself and those I love, And not to you, the one I hate the most. Why, monster, do I feel you in my veins again? Your alien pul

A Conversation with Death by bootsandpatches, literature

Literature

A Conversation with Death

I have seen the face of hell, the face of death. It was my grandmother's face. One day, I know that face will be mine. But you know what, Death? I dare you to throw disease at me like you did to my grandmother. I dare you to try to take me out in a cheap, underhanded fashion. I dare you to weaken me, to make me wish to join you. Because guess what, Death? I will know the first signs that you are out to get me. Like now, when people are telling me how good I look, how I'm slimming down, When I know I haven't done a thing to cause it. My radar is up, Death. One day, you will catch me. And I'm okay with that. I'm not afraid of you. In fact

Bits and Pieces

I don't want to get my hopes up But after everything that's happened in the past year I think... ...just maybe... Little bits of me are finally ...coming back together... ...is that too much to ask for?

I Hear Nature Singing by bootsandpatches, literature

Literature

I Hear Nature Singing

I hear nature singing, the wondrous sounds of life blooming, The species of grass shooting their green tendrils through the blanket of snow, The snow melting away into the dark recesses of soil, The brown, dead leaves disintegrating into matter, into a food for the softening dirt which yields the flowers and grass, which yields colours. The listener can hear life. The pussywillows growing out of control, their fuzzy buds glistening with dew, The stream bubbling, no longer still with the ice of winter, and filling the earth with fresh, clear water. The sun streaming into all the corners, pushing out all the darkness, filling the worl

More love by bootsandpatches, literature

Literature

More love

Pulse racing, beating, flying, pounding out of control, My mind is reeling, spinning, crying out to find you, You, you're everything I'll ever need, Your love, your warmth, this is what I decree: You found your way into the depths of my icy heart Cold from betrayal and mistrust. I never thought I'd feel this way again, Ready to wait and die With love for you. How is it you don't know your effect on my lost soul When I feel close to bursting with my wonderful love? I can't control it much longer, I think it will only become stronger. I've felt your eyes on me, like mine on you. You give me compliments, you fox. I know the truth -- You love

Unspoken Words by bootsandpatches, literature

Literature

Unspoken Words

You approached me in the rainy dark. Smiling, warm and kind My heart beats faster, pulse races as I see the man I know I can rely on, the man that warms me in any weather. I feel as though we are alone, although many surround us. We surround you, and you sheepishly grin. I smush myself against your chest, smiling my heart out. We eat food, talk about our lives. The only person I see is you. Laughing, messing around, I make music, dance, sing. You laugh and shake your head. I wish I was the girl you speak of, the girl you have relations with. My greatest wish is to be her. We begin to go our separate ways, too soon. I hug you,

Hearts 1 by bootsandpatches, literature

Literature

Hearts 1

Part 1: The Aftermath I lie in bed Covers off my shivering body Pale skin, clothed only by the thin nightshift of green and blue silk. Chest heaving, surpressing the sobs that threaten to rip themselves from the lead stone in my chest. That night, he had been amazing- handsome, loving, sweet, tender. More so than usual So, maybe I love him... Definitely. Since forever ago. Part 2: The Day My heart pounds as I pull into his driveway. Finally. Finally. I'll make him see. My heart demands it. We hug. Salutations are traded. We eat with 20-odd others like us, Trying to conceal that desperate longing That keeps us together a

May I Help? by bootsandpatches, literature

Literature

May I Help?

PART 1 I'm so sorry. How did I not notice this? You. You and your defeats. What happened? I'm so sorry. I was caught in a cycle a cycle of self-loathing and hate. I can't crawl out of it. It drags me Down. Until I saw you. Crying Screaming Begging for help. You're in your own cycle Your cycle of self-loathing and hate. How can I help? I'm sorry. PART 2 I see you. You and your marks on your arms. Disguised, hidden beneath concealer and hoodies. Your eyes, soul and wrists begged me to help you. But your voice refused it. I know that feeling. The pulsing, pounding of your life-force crying to be released. The helpl

Screams for Help by bootsandpatches, literature

Literature

Screams for Help

Barely muffled by the pillow squashed to my ears trying to block the door from opening. The door of emotion. Music blaring into the ears The creaking of the door can still be heard. Piercing, loud, infinite. The source of the sound cannot be seen. It is agonizing. When will it stop? The door was opened by others. Their explainations started the creaking. Now it won't stop. I didn't know then that it was coming from me. The screaming from the pain. Even as it drew to a close I knew it would always be there. Always.

Literature

I Lost What Had Been Found

Have I replaced you? When I look to her with eyes that yearn for loving companionship the sort of which I have not known since you've been gone. Would you hate me, if you could see me now? As I watch her affectionately, wanting, needing someone to return my love and fill my heart like you used to everyday. Do you blame me? I know that I blame myself, as my mind retreats once again to that crisp November night... the night I lost everything for the second time. No matter how many times I scolded him, he let you do what you wanted. Even if my instinct screamed at me to never let you out of my sight. That night...so cold in my mind... yo

My Bio

Hello world! Haha well here I am! You know. That fabulous 16-year old girl that you always wanted to know! Okaayyy.... that sounded like a match.com bio! Haha ANYWAYS! So. The best thing I do when I am alone? Definitely either writing, making music, or finding out what weird, random noises I can make with my nose, tongue, and lips! :P Alright...
However. My friends mean the world to me. I treasure and love them. Always. <3 So, naturally, when I do hang out with them, we tend to do crazzyyyyyyy things together! Like get the most intense sugar high in the back hallway of the band room during study hall, and laugh our butts off for about 50 straight minutes! :)Good times. And making a homemade zombie movie. In the same place as the high-ness. All-night dance parties (strobe light included) in basements, living rooms, bedrooms even. Photo shoots. And baring the deepest darkest secrets of my soul-less ginger heart. ;) Oh, yeah, we are co-ed. And we all do all of the above.
That's me, in a nutshell. I hope you like it. If you don't? Well. Then you're just lame. :D

:D Happy Holidays

0 min read

Guess who's baaaaackkk??? YOURS TRULY! :D Now. I know I've been MIA for months now, but now I think my write-sy lifestyle is coming back, so I hope you all enjoy what's to come. That said, be gentle with me, because it's been a while, so my writing may not be as good as it used to be. If you haven't yet, check out my most recent submission, "Bits and Pieces". It's short and sweet, and maybe a little sad, but hey. You should know that that's sort of a pattern with me. xD I wish you all happy holidays, and hope yours are all going as well as mine are. Love you!!

So, I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, guys. I just realized how long it had been since I'd visited dA or written a journal entry... o_0 sorries... :facepalm: It's senior year. Whyyyyyyy....??? I'm being actively recruited by two colleges already... And I just can't deal with it right now... Too many big decisions.  I miss my recess and "quiet reading time", during which I slept for a good half hour. What happened to my childhood? Why is it gone? Marching band has been going on for several weeks, I'm still determining whether this will be a good year or not... The music and drill are great, but the rookies are a little (a lot) lac

YAYYYYAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!! Nothing feels better! :squee: aaaand..... I'm slightly ashamed of admitting this, but I have also been writing music, not just poems/songs/book/whatever... So I'm a dork. Deal with it. But I'm really excited, because ((at least in
