Her thoughts in words

Tag: creative writing

  • Listen

    I’m tired of hearing the usual “say your mind,”Because whatever I say never really matters,People always just do what they want anyway,So why even bother? I’m always talking.Sometimes I raise my voice,In an effort to be heard.Then they yell at me “why are you shouting?!”Why won’t I shout?I’ve been saying the same thing for three…

  • From fire to fire

    I feel like I’m jumping from fire to fire.No not pot to fire,Yeah, I mean fire to fire.My life is like a journey,and every now and then I stop walking,I turn around and scratch my head, confused,“Hey, wasn’t I in this same spot earlier” In primary school I couldn’t wait till the next stage,In secondary…

  • The snap

    It felt like the world was spinning around me that day. It felt like the disbelief was twirling me around and around and I couldn’t stop. I felt dizzy but there was something else I felt, a heat rising in my chest that made me clear headed enough to focus on Chisom who was snapping…

  • The pain inside

    I want to wish it away,But I know it won’t go.I should be happy now right,My happy ending is so close,I got what I wanted,But it just sucks inside.I’m not sure why.But I’m going to try to explain. I’ve been so used to being sad for so long,I’m wondering what it’ll be like to feel…

  • The girl who does nothing

    I’m sitting in my bed just staring at my phone. It’s locked, the screen is dark and I’m just looking at it because I have nothing else to do. Oh, no wait, I actually do have a ton of things I have to do. I just don’t have the energy to do any of them.…

  • Talk

    All talk, no actionMakes Jack, a pathological liarKinda harsh? Yes, I know,But as the popular saying goes,Actions speak louder than words. It’s tiring, you know?Just listening to people say stuff,Making promises they can’t keep,Say things without an iota of truth,I keep wondering, just what is the point?Doesn’t the guilt hunt you?Won’t you get hurt in…

  • In the end

    Hold on,Pain ends.I didn’t really believe it,When I heard it at first.But now I can see that it really is true,Nothing is permanent,This too shall pass. One day, I woke upAnd I went about my day,And suddenly everything didn’t hurt as much.I decided “okay, maybe I’m just in my happy phase”“I’ll probably just go back…

  • Those parts

    Doesn’t life suck,When you want to be everything you’re not.You lie.Telling everyone “I’m fine”“I’m healed”When you know very well you really aren’t.Part of you is tired.Tired of trying,Tired of hoping,Looking for a boost or something to just get you through today.You don’t know if you can do it anymore,But you lie,And you say “I’m fine”…

  • Eh, Maybe

    Today has been rough. I cried a lot and it was a for reason that’s already been well established. ASUU is on strike, I can’t go out and there’s not much I can do about it. I should just accept it all right? Funny, you sound like everyone who’s tried to give me advice over…

  • Girl in the mirror

    She’s beginning to look better,The girl in the mirror.Her face seems brighter, eyes well lit and filled with hope.Is it because of a new diet?My new hair attachments?Or maybe the new make up that I’m applying?No, I don’t think it’s that.I don’t think all the shadow chasing yielded any results whatsoever.I think it’s because I’m…
