《Midnight Lullabies》13 | Of structureless poems and breaking free
Advertisement
"I don't care
if you think
that my poetry
does not
make
sense."
I hissed at him,
anger seething in me,
skin craving for his hands around my neck.
Go ahead and
hit me. It doesn't matter.
My body is
exhausted of fitting in
certain standards
and criteria.
Don't bother with me
I am a jigsaw puzzle that
never really
formed a picture.
This is how
you left
me
with no
order.
I do not know
how to
pick my
words like flowers
in a garden
because I've lost
my dictionary;
you've stolen my
ability to
speak.
This is
how you
left me:
structureless.
lower cases and Uppercases
I am breaking free of
regulations.
this is how you left me.
I feel
like an escaped animal
from the zoo
only no
one is
looking for me.
As much as this is driving me crazy
it feels
so good
to not think about structures and order
and rhyming words
it feels so
good
to be free.
and you no
longer lie
in between my
syllables and letters
and carefully crafted words
like origami.
i will wreck you in my
poetry
I will no longer
write
about the butterflies
for you are a cockroach.
this is hilarious.
this is insanity.
this is how you left me.

The Demon's Rapture
A man down on his luck, a world that's following suit. Caught up in a battle as old as time, Earth is devastated by mass disappearances, natural disasters, and all sorts of world bending feats. Divine interference refuses to let Earth progress as it was meant to, and those left behind can only do their best to survive. Sebastian just so happened to be one of those left behind. Scorned by those above and below, he does his best to survive in what can only be described as the Rapture. Hey! This isn't my first piece of writing but definitely my first piece of what would be a webnovel. Release is planned to be daily but will probably be inconsistent at first, and feedback would be greatly appreciated!
