There Is An Angel Who Sits Upon My Shoulder Who Goes By The Name Of Death
Preface: For the last day of mental health month, I wanted to share something I wrote that deals with some rather dark struggles. Struggles that I know others face as well. Struggles that I hope might be eased for just one person who reads this, even if only in the smallest way.
There is an angel who sits upon my shoulder who goes by the name of Death,
And though I cannot always see him, upon my neck I can always feel his breath
As he whispers to me relentlessly, deftly using my soul’s own Shibboleth.
He is my phantasmagorical companion from which there has thus far been no escape,
One who has no single voice nor form yet is somehow always horrific in his shape
When my mind’s eye sees him lying in the darkest shadows of my brain's path-illogical landscape.
For while it may be hidden, we are locked in eternal battle, one to which we both are bound,
And though the clashes rage on deep within, the fighting furious and yet without a sound,
The hardest part is not the fighting, it is the feeling that there will never be any respite to be found.
This war is one without casualties but still with victims–its battles waged within the mind–
But even having entreated aid from all my demons with any values I could trade in kind,
I have yet to even dream of any type of peace accords to which we would both agree to bind.
But what I have paid in pain to learn in this seemingly Sisyphean struggle is that one cannot sit idly by,
That every new assault of his is but an opportunity for me to learn new tactics that I can in future then apply.
Thus I have vowed: Whatever new mental munitions he has in store for me, nor what deadly schemes I must yet defy–
Though I know, like you, I too will one day meet my end, it shall be he who will be the first to die.

corpo incesante
doce e lindo lá a nada
si
solpor ou albor dado de amor.
sosegado derrotar
muller home vida
inimiga perfección de estar

You Taste Bittersweet
Anxious bitterness drinks me in
Chanting delicacies
Or maybe sin
Gorgeous chaos keeps me hooked
I cannot escape
The poison I took
And no one has forced me
To look the sun in the eyes
So how can I blame you
For my sweet demise?

i would read you all my poetry
spill my soul out for you
prick my fingers with a pen
and write with my blood and bruise
and i would give you all i had
just to watch you throw it all away
and i'd whisper "i'm sorry"
as i beg you to stay
-k.c.

Consumed by desire
Fingers dig into flesh, a primal need,
As bodies writhe, hungry with greed
Lust's flame burns hot, an inferno's dance,
Consumed by desire's relentless advance
~ For Your Pleasure

Your world
All the things that are so familiar to you
So new and different for me
But I watch you settle in
And I watch you remember
All the things you used to be
And I know how much you've expanded
To fit in to me

I’ve been so unmotivated but still somehow managed to write smth, been thinking a lot about those girls who just never leave their hometowns and explore the world, whether because they don’t want to or they can’t, either way it’s kinda sad
also been thinking about how it may be wrong to want to write based on a half made up character with (sort like vintage western girly) american vibes but then again i think of how many famous people profit off of impersonating latin people when they are not even from south america so it’s okay ig 😭
anyway, i just keep on dwelling on what name would suit me better if i ever became an artist because my actual name is not it
