Artemis Attire
☾
She wears a blue dress
Only at seven o’clock
A pair of Louboutin’s stomp
Over and over
She wears an honest smile
Only at seven thirty
But still desires some company
Over and over
She wears her pretty makeup
Only at eight o'clock
To hide the dark rings under her eyes
Over and over
She wears sexy lingerie
Only at eight thirty
To feel feminine and beautiful
Over and over
She wears her emotions
Only at nine o’clock
To expose the frustration of unrequited love
Over and over
She wears a sharp razor
Only at nine thirty
To externally feel the pain she feels inside
Over and over
She wears bubbly cold bath
Only at ten o’clock
To soak away all emotion
Over and over
She wears a heavy frown
Only at ten thirty
Because she must take off the façade
Over and over
She wears the tears on her pillow
Only at eleven o’clock
Just thinking of the sunrise
Over and over
She wears a robe around the house
Only at eleven thirty
As she contemplates something new
Over and over
She wears a noose for the first time
It's barely stricken midnight
So people will think of her
Over and over

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.

The Bloody Blood in Your Veins
Our Origins Today, I read something I didn't know—one more thing to add to all the other things I didn't know. By the time I grow up, I’ll have a collection. But it was intriguing, and it inspired me to write this post. I hope you enjoy it.
