Hey guys!
I just made a Twitter account for my poetry, and I’m slowly starting to find a few of my Tumblr mutuals on there!
If you have a Twitter account and want to give me a follow, I’ll follow you back!
The sobering silence of waking without you is deafening, but I'd rather be deaf.

Your clumsy hands have
Slit my passion’s throat,
Right down the jugular
A crisp straight line,
A road that leads to
My dying mind’s eye
A black hole now
No thanks to you
Or to the girl you prefer
With words like honey
Simple and sweet
So you can understand
No tricks up her sleeve,
But oh, my words confuse
Your simplistic mind
Like a child
Too meaningful and
Full of emotion
Too raw for your
Shrinking ideologies
Open your stupid little eyes
So you can see
The world I have painted
In your shadow

Sleep withers away
Each new day, in
Such a special way
One that makes me say
I may survive today...
No Way
anna magee (April 6, 2021)
A mastered voice is not unlike
A well tuned, polished instrument
That can captivate the mind
As well as the world
And yet,
My mouth falls open
And out tumbles a nasally
Screech that I feel I should
Apologize for, should I?
Words trip and stutter their way
Through tense teeth
Out into the world
To be heard, judged
And stranded forever
In the cold air
Keeping you waiting as I gag
On my own thought
Steam billows from hot ears
As I regain my verbal footing
And tentatively try again,
Cheeks burning alive
My trepid tongue
My own worst enemy.

I have nothing to lose but my wounds.
