you vain bitch
Stupid boy
You aren't even a hot girl
How can you be a boy?
Stupid bitch
Dumb toy,
You slip on thongs
And you feel like a fraud
They can see it in your eyes
Lipstick liar,
Eyeliner pretender,
You aren't a boy,
A man who is a great curvy trauma-dump
Shadows in a ghostly carriage
You can't rock a woman’s boat
Like a great ship
How a man can
Can you, curvy woman, no!
Not a lot of of waves there
You just got knocked around a lot
Didn't you?
D I D N T
Y
O
U?
Shut up and sit down and don't want too much or feel too much
But we like that you're wearing those tight pants to show off your butt
And if you look too tired for the male gaze
We will let you know
Vain bitch, dumb boy
In the lipstick-smeared shirt
Tears that dried,
And smile please!
Smile for that camera.

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, Ohhh a treasure hunt Michaela leads Noah to guiding them to the ultimate goal: not letting his true love marry(which is her)! I love love LOVE it! To save her from marrying the wrong one... Yes, I see that as a perfect romance. It is so good, I never seen it before and I have seen some romance movies and read lots of from romance books. Her leading a trail of clues for him is so good to me. I definitely want to read that.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Nicely done my friend!
What for me requires two, you have encapsulated so painfully well in one. (Though I'm pretty sure some of those voices are nothing more than the internalization of fourteen plus years of external voices.) Blessings to you, Melissa.
Though I suspect our subjective experiences are worlds apart, this piece nevertheless reminded me of how I felt when I wrote these lines for my song "Recurrence": Lonelier than a harsh reality: To be the accessory to a fantasy. Great work, Melissa!
Wow! That felt like a punch on the throat. Raw, powerful, painful. Bloody well done.
This was potent and packs a real big emotional punch!
Oof, this was raw and very emotional! Sending you lots of love and hugs! ❤️
