Day 5 of 100 Days of Writing.
I really did not want to write today and what I did do was pretty meagre but still, it was something.

Day 4 of 100 Days of Writing.
I’m currently in the early stages of a short story. Right now it feels very piecemeal.

In the hope of returning to a productive writing routine I am again doing 100 Days of Writing. Today is Day One.

Expectations became
weapons.
Opinions hurled at me
ricocheted,
piercing their own chests.
The bully in the mirror
locked inside
Pandora’s box.

Women in cages
in cul-de-sacs
swallow silence.
Sorrow stains their cheeks.
Masks hide their faces.
I stand behind glass houses,
digging graves,
praying I won’t break.

After so much grief,
the only thing I can survive
is distance.
I’m so used to leaving myself,
deporting my body,
I’m not sure I know
how to stay.

The first time I met beauty
was under a man’s gaze—
his hunger crawling up my neck,
his pulse racing,
hands plastered across my face.
Screams pushed through my lungs
to deaf ears,
to a fierce tongue.
Beauty felt like a mystery.
And a curse.

Your heart split into two:
before love, after heartbreak.
Devastation’s parting gift.
Eyes unmuted.
No more fairy tales,
only brave steps
through love’s fire.
No one can break your shell
without becoming a ghost.

I trace freedom with my fingers. Sticky and warm, I jut out my tongue to taste it. Then men in suits, with perfectly manicured nails, slap it from my hands and tell me I’m not qualified to want beyond what they’ve chosen for me.

Disapproval followed us,
from kitchen
to church
to work.
Our hands reached for understanding,
but were met with bulldozers of tradition.

You were the perfect enemy,
cleverly disguised.
Maybe you were never a man at all—
just the devil dancing with me
under the New York City streetlights.

Day 7/100
"Haru’s words barely touched me; my attention was fixed on the page, its surface crowded with tiny letters, etched deep and uneven."

Day 6/100
"Two children from the local school approaching house. Will desist unless advised otherwise."
I scowled, trying to think, trying to make sense of the sudden visit. Then, suddenly; panic. What did they mean by desist?

Day 5/100
"So, why are you guys both away from school for so long?" She asked.
I looked at Haru for help.
"Ill go and get your guests some berries." The traitorous forager jumped out of her seat and escaped before I could say a word.

Day 3: “Even if he’s sustained by all the health potions, he can’t live forever. Yeah I know what I said,” she snapped.
