melancholy sinks in
when winter hits
the days grow shorter
instead of longer
and the world begins
to lie down and hide
I feel at home
inside my skin
cloaked inside
the dusk, I thrive
for when darkness
surrounds me
my #vespertine
luminescence shines
and finally,
I come alive

melting into
your soft touch
I lost myself
in glances
intertwined
hot breath
persecuting
every action
broken faith
seeping inside
the acts
you thought
so #chivalrous
filled my weakened
veins with poison
I escaped
with just
my life
but filled
with gratitude
to be alive

Today is the most Monday-esque Wednesday I have ever experienced

Today is the most Monday-esque Wednesday I have ever experienced
my #aphotic existence
is not a source of shame
but a temporary state
that should cause pride
If even a fraction
of the world's politicians
spent half the time
that I have exhausted
in this gloomy zone
maybe the world would be
filled with more kindness
and compassion
than we could dream of

From the first moment I saw you,
I knew I would always remember you.
Your demeanour, so captivating,
and the way your voice danced quietly
across the air, reaching for my ear.

It's easy to feel that
you've run out of #options
like the only open door
has shut, trapping you
inside a world of locks.
When you find yourself
in a predicament such as this
remember that doors are not
the only things that open.
Fling ajar that window,
and crawl for your dear life.

whenever you try
to get anywhere in life
remind yourself of the fact
that it is life's way of
teaching you resilience
to constantly move
the #goal posts
to combat this
remind yourself to leave
a mark at every new goalpost
so you can look back
and show yourself
how far you've truly come

Right now, it seems that no matter
how hard I try, I never can quite get
it right. No matter what I say or do,
it will never be enough for you.
I know I'll never make you see
who I am, and that we'll never agree,
still I'll #measure my self-worth
only on what you think of me.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

lose yourself in #literature
let the words unfurl
into your whole being;
messages of hope
and comfort, spreading
from one brain to another
lose yourself in stories
let the ebb and flow of
the protagonists' adventure
lull you into a half-awake
peaceful slumber of content

memories
of you
stick
like the

crawling

subduing
the blood
as it desperately
tries to push
through your

that somehow
manages to
soil every
single
thing
that ever
brought me joy

#libertine:
'a person, especially a man
who freely indulges in
sensual pleasures
without regard
to moral principle'
I always found the use
of the word 'man' curious
it had been my experience
that the women I met
had filled me with much
more liberation
than any man could dream of

it is a day to be celebrated
the day you finally #associate love
with safety, warmth, and caring
rather than defiance, sadness, and fear
when that day comes
we should celebrate you
because you got yourself here
as close to 'the other side'
as it is possible to be

I just adore how the wind whipping through the forest trees outside my bedroom window mimics the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

I used to write for the right reasons, but I think I've been losing that recently.
As a result, I've stopped writing.
How do you reclaim the reasons you started writing? How do you quiet down the noise of everything else?
I miss it, but I just can't find the energy to do it.
