YESSS

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

Boiling

It burns

Just below the skin

Threatening to break

To spill over

Into words

Actions

Life

Boils, covering the body

Throat, shut and swollen

Fingers, frozen and shaking

Suffocating, on air

Ears, ringing

Heart, threatening to stop

Perhaps out of spite

Perhaps out of fear

Perhaps out of love

Perhaps out of hate

Boiling, just below the surface

A Reptilian Hide

Made Of Scales

Not Unlike Dragons

Impenetrable

Undamageable

Yet, A single arrow

Destroys

What was created.

And Life’s flame

Is extinguished.

Something

Seemingly so strong

Decimated so swiftly

By something so small.

thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I could fix him. I could make him worse. Good for you. I could gently take the weapon out of his shaking, blood-soaked hand and hold him until he finally believes that he doesn't have to be defined by all the ways the world has hurt him. Then we could ruin the lives of everyone who has ever treated him like he's a monster who doesn't deserve love.

A Soul to Keep by Opal Reyne 👀

Body

Lined in Chalk,

Smudgeable, Changeable.

Filled with Water,

Fluid, Transforming.

With Eyes,

Seeing, Not.

With Touch,

Feeling, Hurting.

With Heart,

Broken, Bleeding.

Dead.
