I don’t share a lot of personal things, but one important thing that has defined me is being an outsider. Recently, I’ve been more aware of how others perceive me and how assumptions come into play when people of different backgrounds meet. #writingcommunity #poem #poetry
I’ve been thinking about what direction to take my self expression online and I’ve decided to focus on posting tiny poems and other writing on Instagram (alexriverswriting). Feel free to follow me there, but no pressure, I’ll be posting my work here as well 😊
I’ve discovered Hamilton and that soundtrack is the only thing getting me through this pandemic 🔥
There’s always something to #overcome. Pressure, stress, grief, It’s easy to become undone. I’ll ignore the festering wound, Close my eyes. I’d rather lose a limb, Than give therapy a try. Don’t take my advice, I’m full of shit, Choosing to go down in my sinking ship. #vsspoem
I hit 3,000 followers today 🎉✨🎉 I love the #WritingCommunity and the people I’ve spoken to, in threads and DMs! To celebrate, tell me about your MCs biggest achievement! Gwen has mastered most spells in her mother’s grimoire. ✨ #Writerlift #Writersmeetwriters
Anyone have any recomendations for poetry books? I like poems that are short and meaningful. So far all the poems I’ve found are too straightforward, too focused on love or wildly abstract. #WritingCommunity #recommendations
New country, new city, New language, #adapt. Change your taste buds, Learn new customs. New school, new classes, New friends, adapt. Inside jokes that won’t work anymore, Forget they existed at all. Landed here alone, None of my identities followed me. Adapt, who am I? #vsspoem
My life’s been so stressful and hectic recently, but I think I’ve managed to get a single night of peace before everything starts again. I think I need some escapism today, not really in the mood to create new characters. #WritingCommunity
The painting was huge, you couldn’t see the whole thing without turning your bead. It was meant for a masterpiece, and this was it. Splashes of red, strong lines. Random, yet planned. A picture is worth a thousand words, but when drawn in blood, it’s hard to #articulate. #vss365
I love how the second I manage to stop freaking out about a major crisis, a brand new, more distressing crisis pops up! This time with potentially huge moral implications for my future and sense of self! Love that for myself
Breathe it in, Embrace the wisps you ran from. Take a sweet from the tin, You rebuilt wonderfully after the storm. #Discard your fears by the door, Be careful not to let them in. Oh, don’t look so shyly at the floor, Sit by the fire, you made it, It’s over. #vsspoem
My headache kept getting worse and worse. I stumbled to the bathroom, cradling my head. Memories of the previous night hit me. What had I done? My hands grabbed the towel railing as I searched the mirror for my reflection. It was #muddled. I’ve done something terrible. #vss365
We’d meet in secret, far further than we needed to. But we were scared, paranoid that our parents knew what we were doing. We spent out days, jumping at the smallest sounds, but at night, under the moonlight, wet and soggy, we’d lie in the #riparian and breathe free. #vss365
Sometimes I can feel it, so small it’s barely there. I have to silence my other voices, my inner monologue, my inner screaming, to hear it. A #yearning for something I dare not ask for. A yearning for something I can’t receive. But without I feel so empty, lost, fearful. #vss365
Jagged cliffs, Thunderous skies, A vast sea of endless potential, So easy to slip, To hurt. A single step, full of #conviction, Must be taken, I could fall or fly, But I must move, Now. I will trust with all my heart that it will work out But I don’t know for sure. #vsspoem
I could practically see us moving. We were such a #lively bunch, especially Greta; she’d always find her humming along to the latest tune. Tony thought he was the ‘cool guy’. And he was, with his swept up Elvis hair. The picture was old. It’s been too many years. #vss365
