I am out of words to show how this community humbles me with its support and appreciation for my poetry. thank you so, so much, miserabel and HugQueen for finding to the boy who doesn't plan on leaving worthy of a DD. 
I am honored.
I can't even put this in words. I miss this place and I miss everyone who got me where I am here and to pay it forward (in a way) I've got a little present for you guys.
I've never considered my poetry 'up there' but I realized recently that that's hardly the point of creating art. you should put it out there so you know if it even deserves to be there and I'm tired of hiding away, behind pseudonyms and anonymity. so I've been working on a little project for my spoken word poetry. yes! yesterday, I added the final touches to my first spoken word album, the articulation of my vertebrae: from being spineless to finally standing tall. it's due to release on my bandcamp on October 25th, 2014. free digital copies yay!!!
the present? I'm personally going to be sending out autographed CDs pretty much all over the globe, absolutely free of cost (because my writing is only a present at this point) plus a personal letter of sorts, for those who want it. why? because the album isn't perfect and I didn't even try to make it so because it needed to be me more than it needed to be that. for me, this album is extremely personal, crude and close to home. I have a few of your addresses so you can expect a present in the mail soon enough
bandcamp insists on me selling this stuff and it's a little unfair but feel free to tell me if you're interested in receiving autographed physical copies of the album (there are pictures on my bandcamp) my notes are always open. lol I understand how newer watchers might be iffy to sending me their addresses but I'm super nice and stuff!! so don't hesitate. #howthehelldoesselfpromowork
thank you so much, for everything. I hope you all are well.

it's been a while x 12
hey you. it's been a long time. come sit. rest your feet.
I've missed this place. its comfort. how many stretch marks these poems have symbolized. growing too much too fast with all y'all.
the world outside isn't pretty. dA has probably changed so much it doesn't look anything similar to what it used to be when I was fourteen. but then again, that was eight years ago. eight. I'm 22 now, genderqueer, almost-author of three poetry books (you can buy my first book here: bit.ly/2J436Sm ), in my second last year of medical school and a comedian.
yeah that happened. I'm touring with all-femme comedy troupe in my country and it's kinda wicked coo
thank @successwithhonor for me saying hi
just dropping in to say hello/I'm alive/I don't particularly want to be/but shit needs to be done/I hope you're well, in no particular order.
it's been a while since I've updated this space so enjoy my little hopeful poem here:

a lot has happened since the last time we spoke, friends.
1. I removed myself from a press that was outright robbing me and started my own press here in Pakistan, after my own name, which I'm only using to release a second edition of my first book, Home and Other Debris.
2. I won the 2018 National Poetry Slam and became the only woman to earn the title in the competition's three year running! tha
when i cry wolf, they howl back
I can't remember why I update this, but lately I've been learning to take things at face value. I've been trying to identify what parts of me stay behind when my previous anchors lift their own weight. I've been trying to pinpoint what makes me so heavy. I miss Chester the same way I miss myself.
When I've tried to explain to anyone else how my fears have come out of my mouth so many times I may as well have a rosary in my hands, I am always told that I am above them and their power. And I am. I made peace with my demons a long time ago; they just haven't made their peace with me.
So this lingering dread can live out its time but there are
two guitars on my bed
i keep opening and shutting this tab and have been for weeks but finally, hey, hi, how are you, is anyone there?
it's been an obscene amount of time since i last checked this place and read things. i miss it of course, but in the way we miss things that we know have lived their course all the way through. seeing how horrendous my devwatch looks today, i'll be going through all the visual pieces but please leave a comment with written pieces you are most proud of :heart:
in return, let's get the boring stuff out of the way. did you know i have an instagram account specifically for my writing? no? follow me there! if you don't do ig, i have a

Yes! I'm happy it got featured! Also, if you still have albums to give out, I'd be interested in one as well
