Ebony the luxurious familiar of the old hag Hilda Hee
Laid across the spell book and refused to relinquish it to me
I had stolen away at midnight to grab up that missive too
Ebony laid around as heavy as he could be, which made me pretty blue
If you are disobedient, I will disinherit you.
This was said in a mean way with a snotty face.
the young woman felt sorry for her mother.
her mother's attempts to control her belittled her.
I love you Mom, she told her, but not your ways.
She resolved to never raise her children like her mother.
She raised them far away, and they had no contact with the woman.
No idea that their mother had a mother.
A desire to die, found myself lazily lie,
Oh—'Without pain,' then why even try?
Hanged dupatta on a fan left running,
It spun, it tore—just threads kept churning.
Asked GPT for methods of death,
And back came '10 Ways to Be Happy' instead!
It said- "Just hold this night alive",
Weird—was I meant to be gone by sunrise?
Funny, right?...
Sped at 70, reckless and rash,
The driver behind just roared in a flash.
Called me "mad" - mocked without a crash,
And yet, I lived—a pity, couldn’t even bash!
Dared to walk late at night,
Thought murderers might set things right.
But what they shared was philosophy's advice,
Ranting like life coaches— too precise!
Decided to jump from a height,
Got famous—landed on a bull's back thrice.
At last, the tired bull kicked me deep,
"Best to try next time", I sighed and went to sleep.
she rescued herself
leaving an abusive man
family felt relief
not understanding danger
restraining order
seemed to irritate her ex
abuser hunted her down
white bunnies are funny
tails puffy and fluffy
I see bear with thick honey
now he is getting huffy
will he see the bunny?
He sets down the honey
I watch the rabbit try to hop away
will he live another day?
Rodents are incredibly funny

Oh, what strength and valor the heart may be!
As a way of enduring life's various struggles,
Minor flaws are where it typically falls poorly.
Which develops drastically, days troubles
We brace for battle by bearing sturdy gear.
To meet physically with something awful.
Defiantly ignoring the potential to feed fear
And convey your fierce drive to win, lawful.
An anonymous, as feathery as a fluffy cloud,
A thoughtless phrase, a glance, a demeanor
Destroys our smug sense of awe; to be proud
Both stamina and vigor vanished in a steamer.
Despite whether it is stubble-covered or spare,
Losing may as well teach us how life will dare.
There has to be made many attempts,
even if it gives you no content
It is a single attempt which can change,
all your life's pre-decided stamps
Will there be attempts,
That would give you constraints
There has to be a failed attempt,
which will give you a huge bent
But after facing all that sand,
there will be one attempt
to give you in a scary night,
A LAMP.
Three attempts to rob was just a huge mess.
Frustrated, angry, I decided to walk with a bat.
Next five of my attempts brought me a success,
The wisest idea, no doubt in that!
I'm in the arms of my first love
It feels so good, it feels so right
Why did we give up
If we were ideal
It broke our hearts
It changed ourselves
But we were trying to be the same
Why didn't we fight
For our feelings
Chorus
I knew we were meant
for something better
That's sad part of our past
I want to forget it
I'm in the arms of my first love
He says me " hush, don't cry my love
You're still in my heart
I didn't forget you".
He hugs me tight
It gives me peace
I'm going back to my memories
When we were fine,
'cause we were together
When we we young
We were reckless
My tears will dry
But I'll never forget you
It was a magic
in a snow globe
It was fantastic,
but we're beyound hope
Once a foetus
Once a child
Today is night
Tomorrow is
Morning
Once a season
Once out of season
As in once upon a time
We were in and later out
Once an adult
Twice a child
Once upon a time
We made it and
Once upon a time
We failed
his heart broken
too late for last ditch attempts
~ everything failed
Changing my diet
is such a riot.
underhanded
attempts
meant to
act as a
means to
an end
just ended
up to bring
about the
proverbial
end of everything
that was once
established within
this reality
dimwitted attempts
at subtle persuasion
failed attempts at
re-gaining what has
been lost with no success
what so ever
given up hope
given up dreams
given up desires
left with bitter taste
left with bitterness
left with down heartedness
as a result of time well wasted
as a result of time unproductively spent
now left with memories wished to be
wiped from memory
Its hard always trying to impress people, especially when they truly are not looking.
To go out of your way to prove something, that really nobody cares about.
Each and every day I try to do what is right, to show them that i have changed.
It is as if their eyes are shut to the truth, all that matters is what they saw on the news.
Meth Lab, drugs, baby involved.. Ignore the heart ache pain and attempted suicides.
Now I am finally out of the situation, finally trying to be me again.
But its impossible to show them that its different, that I am trying.
I am trapped in my own mind even when I am away from him.
Everybody says they want to help, they want to see me better myself.
But its hard always trying to impress people, especially when they truly are not looking.
To go out of your way to prove something, that really nobody cares about.
