Fingers intertwined
Locked into submission
From some irresistible urge
Don’t pretend you don’t feel it
The pull
Ignore the fear and the doubt
Feel the ocean
Taste the breeze
Close your eyes
And fucking kiss me
-Saschia
A place where you can be human.
Fingers intertwined
Locked into submission
From some irresistible urge
Don’t pretend you don’t feel it
The pull
Ignore the fear and the doubt
Feel the ocean
Taste the breeze
Close your eyes
And fucking kiss me
-Saschia
Bare bones splinter
A man voices his disregard
An ache low and bitter
Sits in my blood
The uplift
The drop
The dazed eyes searching for something
They always knew
-Saschia
Tucked under my blankets
The doors are locked
The kids have kissed foreheads
And warm toesies
Safe from the cold damp night
-Saschia
The lights turn on
I’m on my way home
Stripped bare
In a constant state of reflection
The web
The red connections
And moments that were always
meant to be
-Saschia
I watched her rise above
I watched her question who she really was
And demand who she would become
She didn’t sit still for a moment longer
She pushed through and persevered
And now her home is quiet
And still
She worked for this peace
She stepped out and stood tall
And worked til her inside matched her outside
Til her life matched her dreams
This is her lifelong journey of becoming
This is who she is destined to be
♡ Saschia
The ground freezes
I’d have lost my footing
But over the years I left pebbles
And words and stories
To hold me steady
I still fall
But I land on poetry
I don’t think there is anything more artistic
Than landing on poetry
-Saschia
The world will swallow you whole without a thought
It will take your possessions
Your goals
Your plans for the future
And chew it all like a cow chews cud
So plant your roots
Find your soul
And be true to who you are
There’s no other way
-Saschia
The spins
The darkness
The caving in
I don’t expect anyone to understand this
But you
You’ll make it
I promise you
We’ll light the way together
I’ll light the way for you
Don’t waste your time
Doubting whether this is right
Changing bad habits
Never feels right
-Saschia
I will stand on the shoulders of my enemies
To place the angel delicately a top my Christmas tree
Their selfish acts beside mine
Only my acts so deeply rooted by my own ancestors
That they have become a catapult
An explosion of sticky wet truth
Like an orgasm at just the right time
I will not wallow I will not beg
I will not stop until the truth spores inside so many crevices
They’ll never forget it
-Saschia
As long as I can put words to the way I feel, it’s free and open to the public. Unfortunately, living that way can frustrating because so many people are scared to share their own feelings.
Why would I continue to be so honest and care free with my thoughts and feelings knowing it leaves me vulnerable?
First, I know that sharing my feelings will give others the strength to share their own. Or help others to know they’re not alone in their own experiences.
Second, it helps me to have and set realistic expectations because over time expressing myself helps me learn what things bother me and what things make me smile.
And last but not least, when I’m finally around groups people who share their thoughts and feelings without fear, it’s so liberating for me. Makes me want to provide that space for people as well.
Why do you share your feelings or why don’t you?
