White ink on black paper with two little lonely popcorn kernels on the bottom left of the page Poem reads: Hypermobility Bend and bend These joints wont break Spread thin like butter I'll hide the ache I don't want to do this My feelings Your mistake This isn't what I asked for Burnt kernels go ignored Maybe I trust you more Than I ever did myself Please don't hurt me I plead while you hide a blade My blood tastes sweeter On the necklace you made

Flexible but like, in a stressful way
Hypermobility #inkycapnip #poetry #poem

Black ink over white paper with an illustration of jasmine flowers in the lower right corner. Poem reads: Building a mixtape for you Baby I haven't met you yet But I know that I adore you And your arms will feel like finally coming home I see glimpses of you In all the hearts I fall in love with And I know for sure your vibe will match my tune I'm keeping it safe for you This treasure in my chest Please come and take it when we're ready to begin

Preemptive sapphic yearning go brrr
Building a mixtape for you

White ink over black paper. Two columns of text with a roaring wave in the bottom right corner about to crash, into the sea? onto the shore? Who knows. Poem reads: Hide There’s a monster in my house Clawing at someone’s skin Battle scars taste salty Sadness comes from within Claws turn softness to leather Yet a light still glows gentle Whether fact or fiction I rely on your discretion Color the lines I drew for you Mess up my pretty picture From elderberry and willow bark Swirls another tincture No longer bandaging my pain with fear I wield a needle in one hand, drop the backpack in the other Stretch my naked palm, out towards a lover Blood blooms on my silk spun shirt The material grows coarse and rips My wounds revealed Hide I must stay safe from your lips Darkness drips from my mouth Pools at my feet I dive in An ocean of sensation Far removed from memory Extra parts don’t fit anymore Numbing weight on my extremities Ignore the strain Embrace the pain I was built to suffer Like flesh was built to bleed Cabinets overflow There is no key to sort them Quest for freedom from chaos A trial to outrun him

So maybe I'm not completely over my fear of the dark 👀 Hide

Black ink over white paper. A meteor hurtling towards the earth in the background. Poem reads: Comet You look pretty There’s the spark Your mind beguiles A race in my heart Fidgeting toes Trying to get close Swaying arms Sneaking a touch Itchy lips Stuck on her view In this state Nothing I wouldn’t do A single drop My cup runneth over The future I glimpsed Turns into disorder Someone to love Could never be me You’ve shown me another way to be free The fire burns out My mind contorts Lingering feelings Cotton candy storms I’m aware they’ll continue to come in installments What once was destructive finally turns harmless

Free falling, but like, violently
Comet #inkycapnip #poem #poetry #wlw

White text over black paper with a low opacity image of broken glass, maybe a broken car window, behind the body of text. Poem reads: Siren Your song matches the alarm blaring in my head Soothes the garish discomfort safety brings Pale moonlight turns to scorching sun Another wolf in the skin of a cuckoo bird Kindred has become a source of concern Scarlet flags for those with many faces I carry the lessons with me as I push on Keep it moving as I begin to erase this

Siren 🚨 Wee Woo

FORZARNOS A TODOS

Un mural feminista adorna la esquina
El trabajo de muchas tardes
Personas honrando sus madres
Una frase sobre la cornucopia de colores "es la lucha de todes"
En medio minuto tapas E con tu O
Pintura barata
Síntoma de control

Black ink over white paper, this one's pretty basic, but that makes it stand out against the visual buffet that is the rest of this book. Poem reads: I'm still here :) Crying detergent tears over your spilt milk Accumulating years Overcoming fears you put in me My patience has been reserved I am no longer versed In self inflicted pain Asking my Self How did you ever have the nerve? To throw your self away so casually I will not bleed voluntarily I am the only one I can never replace I refuse to stay in some anxious fearful state You’ve taken my very last slice of cake I’m ready to cook with these massive piles of salt Insanity repeating hoping for a changed result Fuck the statistics I’m on the mend My choices transcend I no longer need to pretend Your missteps will be your end Not my business to defend

I'm still here :) #inkycapnip #poem #poetry

White ink over black paper with a simple cartoonish drawing of a 2 tier cake with whipped cream and cherries on top, it's giving french bakery doodle. Poem reads: Frosting Shots of joy Glitter scatters in my belly Liberated and adrift I yearn to touch the knife An idealized future A dream takes shape A temporary high The cake is baked Another slice Raw nerves exposed Numbness follows suffering More files for my cabinets Mistakes are a promise living makes Paralyzed not to repeat Frosting from my mouth to my chest Only after eating can I cease

Frosting #inkycapnip #poem #poetry

You and I belong together like oregano and potatoes #inkycapnip

Black ink over white paper. Two boys holding hands on the bottom left of the page, then they're hugging on the right side. Very conventionally dressed, one of them looks like a jock, the other like a music major. Poem reads: Mimic Stick to my senses Liquid gold babygirl Baritone voice My inner world swirls Wrap me in knots Steel arms like vines Fall in love with him Restart my mind Flood my veins with memory We're off to a dishonest start Uncover a sheltered yearning Cocoon my injured heart Witness the end of yearning Dissolving my softest parts I want to be the cause of this I'm still afraid of the spark Make it safe Keep it pure Love without risk Is all that I ask for

Mimic. They look like roommates amiright?

A page, black on the left half, white on the right. White ink on the black page, black in the white page. You might be sensing a theme, what with the book being called Black and White. On the black page the poem reads: I wanna come alive I’m waiting I’m waiting I don’t need you to survive I wanna come alive I’m waiting I’m waiting I need you to thrive The fear in my heart is racing A fire I can’t put out These endless white walls I’m pacing What do I need to do or say for you to LET ME OUT I wanna come alive I’m waiting I’m waiting I don’t need you to survive I wanna come alive I’m waiting I’m waiting I need you to thrive I wanna come alive I’m waiting I’m waiting I don’t need him to survive I wanna come alive You’re changing You’re changing We’re going to thrive The fear in my heart keeps racing A fire that can’t burn out Pretending to be complacent There is a way forward free from doubt I wanna come alive I’m waiting I’m waiting I don’t need him to survive I wanna come alive You’re changing You’re changing We’re going to thrive On the white page the poem reads: I came alive Dark shadows cast over your eyes I can’t help but want to shut them forever Quite evil that what he is rhymes with an innocent child It’s okay He’s far away He can’t hurt you anymore It’s okay You made a change I am the person you needed to save It’s okay It’s okay You were always allowed to make mistakes It’s okay It’s okay Someone finally feels the same And even if that doesn’t work out You’re finally free from terrible doubts His sins don’t belong to you There is no error to undo Men were never your responsibility You don’t owe monsters a drop of civility It’s okay I am here This is no longer a functional fear I came alive Yes You managed to survive I am going to thrive Yes Let go of the tics of time

I wanna come alive | I came alive
Also known as the psyche ward lullaby

Black ink on white paper in two paragraphs above a sketch of a peaceful lake surrounded by many different trees and grasses. Poem reads: Spring Why skip to the end When I’m barely beginning Stuck on what’s happened Worried for what’s coming My present evolves A glimpse at peace When death whispers Birth is a scream Promise to still the sway of my hips But I’d rather follow the force of my will Promise to steal that permanent ache But I’d rather try even though I may break Promise to empty the glass I have filled But I’d rather remain and watch it all spill Promise to silence the screams that escape But I’d rather appreciate the music they make Resilience is forged My own anvil sings I no longer idealize The end of all things Any moment could snap This delicate string Though I yearn for winter I still prefer spring

Spring #inkycapnip #poetry #mentalhealth #cptsd

White space themed drawings reminiscent of high school doodles on black paper with some x's, a rainbow, stars, a shooting star, a crescent moon, and an alien surround a poem with some lighter squiggly lines in the center. Reads: Rip out my lungs Fill them with tar Paint me with needles so I don't go far Cover my ears Swallow my song Make me believe I belong to someone Cut out my heart Open my thighs Intoxicate me with your beautiful lies Pull out my teeth Pin down my tongue Slice up my tendons 'til I cannot run

Black ink on white paper with a splotch of black ink near the bottom that looks a little like blood. Reads: Compose is a strange word for this Making my own evidence Scars on my heart take shape Words on my page bleed out No rhyme or reason Only the arcane

Belief solidifies fact, not the other way around. I know, but fear still holds me by the neck against the wall of familiar discomfort.

Half-plate

Silver plates stacked in my hair
Spar with these thoughts if you dare
Dark eyes reveal sharpened tongue
Try me bitch
I'm not the one

Being Argentinian means open doors and kind souls consistently picking up phones I will never be alone for I am finally home on what was once an unfamiliar shore

Tis the season of weeping
Embracing dark feelings
I gather my kindling
Light a fire for dreaming
#inkycapnip

Words are subtle
Actions gross
My heart is heavy,
mind bespoke
#inkycapnip

My feelings belong to the universe
I can claim them
But that’s a choice
My voice belongs to this body
This mind
When everything falls away
No voice remains in my proverbial hands

Would you water your plants more often if you could see their pots crying tears of relief? #inkycapnip

Face reveal I guess 👀 still a mushroom! #inkycapnip

“Take a Step” I release the weight of alien expectations Like taking a step forward Not knowing if the ground will be there to catch me Truth falls easily from my lips Droplets of Schrödingers poison A reinforced dam with a sturdy gate Unlocked with kindness and devotion I will never know the role you’ve cast me in your life Until the day comes when you tell me I can only audition in hope I’m given time Past wounds form a silver chain Invisible string catching my mistakes Although the act of trying may bring pain Better to hurt outside than be stuck in an empty safe

Lost sight of this for a second there
But I want to continue choosing to be brave
