my dream

I had a dream I could not understand.

Be patient while I tell you what it was.

Take my hand and I will share my dreamland.

I will take a minute in between and pause.

I want you to know what I have been through.

And you can understand what I have seen.

And you can know me a little more too.

I've had some problems since I was a teen.

In this dream i found true love but lost it

The strangest thing was the man in my dream.

I met him sitting at a firepit.

But it wasn't as good as it may seem.

He took my hand and whispered in my ear.

You will push away people who get near.

True Understanding

once a year only one month atlas the time has come that I can spam my discord servers with gay memes and text my friends about wishing them a happy pride month. This month is the month Id sham bully's for mocking us if I were to be in school, this month is when I get together with my friends and support them as they support me. Finally, I am able to notice how, how people actually have human decency showing that you hate someone off of their character and not off of something they can't control, and I can be sheltered by others being discriminated against. I am happy to be bi with all the support I receive from this month.

the light.

she saw the light at the end of the road.

her heart has carried too big of a load.

her only escape is a narrow path.

she has already calculated the math.

walk a little straighter keep moving forward.

a better life is waiting in the light she heads toward.

the mental and physical abuse has cost her too much.

never thought she would escape, so close but still can't touch.

she can see the light it up ahead.

good thoughts have filled her head.

her new life will soon be shaped.

she just has to squeeze through her narrow escape.

Challenge
Challenge of the Month XL
Above the body after death: Something all of us have heard or read about, or seen in documentaries or on film. Across human history, there has been one outlier that purely represents any given emotionally tied flashback that someone would have seen before dying: Good, bad, heartbreak, excitement, betrayal, or love that was not able to see itself through, and many more. Write a story or poem about this, the extreme outliers, both what they're flashing back to, and why they're about to die. Winning piece of ethereal lift and float gets the $100. Go.

THE LAST CUT.

She has done it before, cut her arm.

She never believed it would cause real harm.

But she was hurt and slowly slid the knife.

Thinking about all the disappointments in her life.

She has lost a lot of her friends.

people she thought she would have until the end.

she has hurt so many people, but she didn't mean to.

she never made good decisions and she couldn't follow through.

this would be her final cut.

she felt the pain inside driving her nuts.

she lost her family and her love.

she dreams about being free like a dove.

she thought just for a second if she cut deep,

she could fall into a long sleep.

as the blade slowly slid.

her life flashed some stuff that her mind had kept hid.

she suddenly remembered the good times.

and how she used to shine.

wait she thought I don't want to die.

but it's too late now and she didn't get to say goodbye.

her blood is soaking the ground.

her heart is making aloud sound.

her whole life flashed before her eyes.

And she shouted out some cries.

eyes slowly starting to shut.

now she knows this is her last cut.
