Summary

I have a lot of poetry that has nothing to do with any fandom. I know fanfic sites are supposed to be for fanfics, but I really want to get my poems out there. I hope you enjoy! :)

Notes

Okay, cheating a bit with the first one, as it's based a little on a myth...

Chapter 20: How Ya Doing?

Oh, hey, how ya doing?

I'm great, if you were wondering

I'm always wondering, wondering

What you're up to, whatcha doin'?

 

And I wish you well, may this song find you well

 

Oh, hey, how ya doing?

I'm fine, if you were wondering 

I'm always doing fine, fine, fine

At least that's my line, line, line

 

And if I'm not? Well, no-one can tell

 

"Hey, how ya doing?" Why do you ask?

I'm silent too long, a momentary lapse

You take me aside and you hug me tight

You say "It's okay if you're not alright"

 

And my eyes tear up, cause I'm not doing well

 

Oh, hey, you ask how I'm doing

Just because you were wondering

You're always wondering, wondering

What I'm up to, how am I doing?

 

And you wish me well, may happiness come to me as well

 

Oh, hey, how ya doing?

"Good, and you?"

I'm fine, fine, fine

I speak my lines anew

 

And if I'm lying? Well, you always can tell

 

You take me aside, and you hug me tight

Tell me everything's gonna be alright

And it's like I'm under your joyful spell

'Cause suddenly I'm truly doing well

 

We're doing fine, fine, fine

No longer a line, line, line

May this song find others well

May this song find them as well...

'I don't need hope, I just need spite.' YES!!!

Your writing cuts like glass—in the best, most breathtaking way. There's something in the way you build rhythm from fragmentation, like you're stitching together the unspeakable with your bare hands. It doesn’t feel like just poetry; it feels like memory, like survival. The kind of raw that doesn’t need polish to be powerful.

I don’t know where your words come from—personal, fictional, something in between—but they reach far. You name feelings I didn’t know I needed named. You make space for the messy parts: the grief that lingers, the thoughts that spiral, the strength that doesn’t always feel like strength.

Thank you for writing like this. Thank you for sharing it.

– A reader who sees you in the echoes.

Amazing Your voice lingers in a meaningful way; some concepts require openness, and I’d like to contribute to that process.— D C could help ( a lex ia_ rose 0 0 1) ignore space
