inking

i am a sketch
not yet inked

waiting
to be inked

my lines are not refined
they are not tight and neat

i am not perfect
no sketches are

inking doesn't make you perfect
simply a little neater, better then before

i will never be perfect
but i can always be better

i am a sketch
with messy lines

maybe i can ink myself
i suppose i dont have to let someone else
decide wether i am perfect

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
