a duo of depression slam poems

-wrote these when i was crazy depressed lol-

I'm afraid I'm becoming too distant.

I'm not the only person in your life, but you're the only one in mine.

You shine like the North Star but I.

am a black hole that collects every negative feeling,

every frightened burst of energy, every tear falling, every sad dream It's dark.

where I am and I can't find you even though you're screaming at me that you're right in front of me just one step further you can make it but I fall.

I fall anyway,

I fall into a pit below me and I stay there.

And instead of climbing up the wall I grab a shovel and dig myself deeper where else is there to go?

I am not strong enough to force my way up.

I am not wise enough to fabricate a plan of escape.

Your light grows smaller as I keep digging until suddenly I can not see you anymore.

And you cry for me, but only for a while because life will go on anyway,

A few million years left before your star decays and I.

I am gone and I plan no return.

Thank you for believing in me.

Where am I?

Am I in my house?

Am I at my school?

In a car, in a bus, in my bed crying because no.

I'm not here.

I'm not there.

I'm floating in a dark cloud of black smoke and I can't see where I'm going.

A tiny light shines through that smoke and there I am.

But I thought that I was... here... why am I there too?

Who is controlling you?

I mean me... maybe. I just don't know anymore.

Nothing is right. Nothing is real,

I don't feel. I'm just sitting.

In a self driving car, skidding.

Along on the road in the fog not living.

Just moving.

Uncontrollably.

To places I'm supposed to be.

But I never quite make it.

Where am I?

I'm not at home. I'm not at school.

I'm not...

I'm not.

I don't know where I've gone.

Firework Nails

Hello everyone! If you live in America then tomorrow is an exciting day for you, full of celebration. With that celebration comes amazing fireworks. So, without further a do here are my Independence Day firework nails. The polishes I used were Sally Hansen's "Co-balt Blue" (#320), "Red My Lips" (#470), "Silver Sweep" (#230), and "Grape Shifter" (#423), NYC's "French White Tip" (#134), and Blackheart Beauty's "Deep Sky Blue". I also used a nail dotter to create the fireworks. I started by painting the base colors on my nails, alternating the colors on each finger, and letting that dry. I chose to do my fireworks on the navy blue nails, but you can do them on the red or even on all the nails if you choose. For the fireworks I started with a dot for the center of the firework and added a red star there. Remember, the center of the firework does not have to be in the center of the nail (I only did that on one nai...

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself. The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a ...
