Carry On, Fair Fighter 🌷
Set fire to the acid rain Watch it burn, burn down See the sweet flames burn in the light Finally, I feel something Like the time I almost set a lighter to my own carpet We all lose yourselves sometimes Plug the holes with poetry Your leaky eyes with holy water Watch the flowers melt away It gonna-It's gonna be okay We pick yourselves up Journey on another day It's gonna- It's gonna be okay Lick the paint off your fingers Oil pastels all over your clothes You just murdered an emotion That's just how life goes In the words of my kindergarten teacher"Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow" If you were a salmon meant to fight it You would've been born with gills Now carry on, fair fighter We must get over this hump We must crest this hill
Ye who are drenched in sin. Rise and face me. I shall guide you to the paradise that welcomes everyone.
As Moth Is Drawn To A Flame
Attraction
like a moth to a flame
Irresistible
to the glitters of gold, to a
desire for sensuous beauties
From a harmless candle
to a dangerous fire
Folded eyes long for light
from faint familiarity
to rogue recognition
Stimulation
by an arousing emotion
Destruction
awaits the wild imagination
as thoughts lead to actions
Fools
choose deliberately
a wit without wisdom
Popularity draws the young
as Moth is drawn to the Flame

make themselves knownÂ
beneath the wave of madness.
i am reaching out to the bodies
and hoping they have not beenÂ
crushed under all the weight.

If you somehow wound up on this one, please consider heading on to the sideblog, which is actually being updated:

I don't know, maybe I'll start doing something here in the future?
I know you do not exist
But you think you do
Looking for darkness
In broad daylight
roles reversed, crumbling in dust enough to cave in the lungs of titans. don't force me to breathe anyway, it's pointless in the grand scheme of cigar marketing. all for standing outside and watching the rays of sun stretch their limbs and lie down for the evening but the true beauty comes when all the pawn shops facing east are religiously nocturnal.
a hopper of trains, we can be out of here, we can be slugs happily avoiding the minefield of saltshakers set up to watch us perish. a tale as old as grandfather's medals, tears stinging eyes, hometown roaches feasting on nuclear Thanksgiving; part the lips and caught the tongue trembling common knowledge. that the boxing gloves hooked on the wall have touched their fair share of tender cheeks and retiring will only cause the maroon to solidify.
nap away the wrongdoings of foreign-feeling nausea. spin the story like a top on the evening reporter's desk laden with load-bearing ash-pokes the size of his ideals surrendering to keyboard gestures of love and floundering reputation.
My father’s laughter Â
Was so loud, Â
I could never tell if it was joy or pain. Â
What a terrible thing it is, Â
To watch your father’s pride Â
Fade away Â
I’m sorry you had to carry a weight Â
You never asked for. Â
I miss you. Â
The fog creeps in,
thick like breath
on a window,
the hills fold
into themselves,
and I am
somewhere else
while the red bridge
cuts through the mist
like a wound
that has yet to heal
I'm pretty sure it's like that when I send screens/talk about story/lore to my friends xd
Bleebus Blorbus the Flesh-Rending Giraffe is a metaphor for childhood neglect and toxic relationships, which is very fitting how its E.G.O. Skin-Eater went to Tom Sawyer. Skin-Eater Tom Sawyer synergizes really well with Ten-o-Clock Flash Mob Office Fixer Tom Identity for Bleed and Rupture damage and may also give her ties to The Hat Man in her upcoming Canto.
they all have your face, except
you look happy. that’s how i know
this is not real.
