No Calling For a Short Period

by A

By Alaiysha WatersPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

i love living in ignorance.

it’s when i’m most happiest.

that phrase ignorance is bliss is true.

i hate knowing things

because the truth is ugly and it hurts

it feels like floating in isolation and oblivion

i can feel my emotions rotting and freezing at its core

the bittersweet is sticky

But i think the “walls” i’ve built are a ploy

I’ve climbed to the top and sat on the top of them. Shooting in the Air. the Arrow will claim whatever victim is Necessary.

The Arrow Claims The Fake That Is Necessary

I am My Own Soldier

I am My Own Protector

I am My Own Confidant

I am My Own Love

I am My Own Power

I am My Own Trust

I am My Own Obedience

I am My Own Faith

I am My Own Everything and Anything.

I am IT
