...
but also wishing
never to die
I flourish
despite myself
Despite the way the world
keeps pushing me down
No one tends me
No one owns me
but I survive
I might not thrive
But I grow
And point
towards the sun

@honestpassion13.bsky.socialComing to life wild and free with all the reckless abandon Never meant to be what I was Circling the the drain like spirals of petals on a wild dahlia Signs of beauty and vibrant life enclosed in a portentous omen Not wishing death for any but myself ... 1 of 2

@honestpassion13.bsky.socialWhen the ipseity of his passionate soul
invades
my senses
Telepathy
or imagination
His depth
taking over my heart
as it THRUMS
against my ribs
when my body
feels fingers
that never touched me
and my tongue
feels his
I've never tasted
My own ipseity
slips
away
and all I want
him
@honestpassion13.bsky.social2 of 2
...
except to say simply
you
So bring your gentle rain
Drench
my parched soul
quench
my thirst
wash
my tears away
conduct your warmth
to my freezing heart
and hold me
in your waters' embrace
Let it fall
let me breathe again
@honestpassion13.bsky.socialThis slow steady rumbling
in my chest
like distant thunder
with the softest warm rain
like a song that won't leave
calls your name
in the dark and the light
speaks
into the places
ears don't hear
And I ache
I pound
I scream
for the overwhelming beauty
I cannot name
...

@honestpassion13.bsky.socialDear @bsky.app :
Why even show me this if I can't actually view the conversation?
@honestpassion13.bsky.socialYes. And also, this is certainly a day for it.
@thepoetryarena.bsky.socialReposted by @honestpassion13.bsky.socialThere are victories that begin long before anyone else can see them.
Sometimes, survival itself becomes an act of celebration — loud, unruly, and unapologetic.
These finalists took what could have silenced them and gave it a voice.
