Shapes cut from the walls, decorated around the room. Eyes open without a single image consumed, while Thoughts are like visions painting the mind. Moments glued together like a movie, teaches us lessons we never heard. Rage is calm once the pulse settles but the damage is done. Beaten & bruised Is the soul with no hiding place, searching for cover while under fire. One must gasp in thin air hoping to fill their lungs, but not breathing abandons struggle. Take a deep breath even if it’s your last, that way you know u tried to live.

New names collection: The Baby
The baby: Just a reference for new life that isn’t present yet. everyone wishing upon you to make things better as if within you contains some sort of answer. Before taking one breathe of fresh air you’re suffocated, but is that a bad thing? Not having room to inhale or exhale can be beneficial when a toxic world will do anything in its power to destruct something so precious. Stay submerged in innocence as the feeling of freedom is short lived & realize every moment of pain only makes us all want to go back to the start. Develop, don’t change. Grow up, but stay the baby. You’ll never hold the weight of the world on your shoulders just the life you choose for yourself which can feel all to similar.

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.
