Poetry On Odyssey: With This

A message to a young me.

This is a poem written to Sophie of past. It doesn't disclose everything I would like to uncover; that'll take a few more pages. Here I detail the subtle shifts in experiences that are to come for yung $tunna Sophie. The promise of shifts is infinite upon aging and learning. For me, it took friendship, time, and curiosity to foster a lil baby flame amongst the utter darkness and ignorance I lived in. Although the ignorance is still present, it's somewhat acknowledged and much more endurable.

Light will pass through porous bone,

Forming gold threads from skull to sight.

With this, traces of lucidity will surface,

Hinting at a golden fleece defined by peace of mind.

Temporary moments of laxity, pure and unrestrained, will gently permeate your bones,

Heedlessly guiding your movements, disentangling your thoughts,

Soaking both and transforming them from steel to silk.

With this, you will breathe in beautifully fleeting euphoria,

And exhale an explicit intention.

One that will rip at the seams of your tightly sewn bond with past’s demons

And hurl you into the your present time and space.

Clothed in liquid fabric,

You will be able to dance upon existence,

To the silent melodies of the sublime.

Your stomach will lose the cramps

From being tightly bound by your own contortion.

With this, the craved porcelain, hour-glassed, fuck-doll nightmare

Remains the night’s past, instead of dawn’s wakeful keep.

The scraping at attention’s flesh is still habit,

But the wounds are starting to scab.

Instead of sweet, red syrup,

Insufficient funds will ooze.

With this, you’ll find a world within yourself;

The promise of endogeny made sweetness and flauntless intrigue.

New company will unknowingly teach freedom.

With this, take what is offered but do not wrench with greed.

For the nutrients are in the temporary play,

The steps and the words,

The touch and their way.

But beware, for the trigger is always cocked,

And the misfire usually lands on the lesson.

Mutilating its delicately spread lips,

And morphing it into a grisly, shadowed cunt of over-analysis.

The only advice I have thus far for this is to breathe; although thus far,

Seems worthless.

But speaking of lips,

Yours will find harmony.

With this, the iced heat within your fists will lay rest,

And the once brittle corpse will finally melt.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
