The sleeping bag is spread on the ground like condiments on a sandwich;
Mustard and catsup in neat lines.
A thin orange cord snakes through the glistening grass,
Powering the lamp placed precariously beside me.
My best friend, with bright red hair and freckles peppering her complexion,
Stretches before flopping onto the floor of the tent.
The scritching of pencils cuts through the silence,
We etch out a magical wizarding world.
Hazel eyes peer through the mesh of the canvas wall.
The color bleeds out of my face.
Eyes glow red in the woods.
Branches and twigs snap under the pressure of a very large
Something.
No.
It's nothing.
Cardinal Directions
The North
is the Winter,
The South
is the Fall
As Eve ate the apple
She doomed us all to a life that is no life
A life without Life
A life of pain.
Where strangers rape your daughters,
As kin kills kin killing strangers.
Until we cry to the heavens
DEAR GOD
What did I do to deserve this?
And you travel as far as
The East
is from
The West.
Inside of You, In Spite of You
I am the air
I fill your lungs
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
I am a part of you
I am your shadow
Cast upon the ground
Jump
I will jump with you
And catch you when you fall
I am.
I am
You.
You
Apart from
Me
Are
Nothing.

The sleeping bag is spread on the ground like condiments on a sandwich;
Mustard and catsup in neat lines.
A thin orange cord snakes through the glistening grass,
Giving power to the lamp precariously placed beside me.
My best friend, with bright red hair and freckles sprinkling across her face,
Stretches spaciously across the covering.
The scritching of pencils cuts through the silence as we etch out a magical wizarding world.
Hazel eyes peer through the mesh of the canvas wall.
The color bleeds out of my face.
"Dementors! Dementors!"
A haunting black creature penetrates our sanctum.
Laughter bubbles from our bellies.
Eyes glow re
I am the knife that you hold in your hand;
Polished ice with a razor edge.
We've met many times; I will dance with your flesh.
I slice rose from bush, skin from muscles,
Muscles from bones, and bones from the body.
What chance do you have of leaving unscathed?
This morning, I woke up with this feeling, I didn’t know how to deal with.
It’s a little bit funny, this feeling inside.
To me you’re like a growing addiction that I cannot hide.
Won’t you tell me is that healthy babe?
I’m taken with this notion
To love you with the sweetest devotion
Cause I’m counting on you for a new beginning
A reason for living,
A deeper meaning,
All my life I’ve prayed for someone like you
And I hope you feel the same way too.
You’ve got the brains, you’ve got the looks,
Know the right people, and read the right books.
You’ve got my name, and you&rs

Had a great time at Sci-Fi Valley Con! I have pictures that I will upload later. Sad that I could only go one day, but it was tons of fun and I made some new friends and I have a crush on one of the Doctors I met. My God was I tired when I got back though. I passed out.
Other than that, life still hates me, but I'm holding on and surviving.
