An Overture to Illumination

Below is a collection of my creative writing pieces, of prose, poetry, essays and scripts.

Pierce

I disguise my heart as a dagger and shred myself to pieces,
I scream softly, but I keep the most important words silent,
I wrapped all my feelings in layers of diamonds,
Knowing that nothing can cut through,
But I forgot precious jewels get stolen,
I cough up my desires, but I melted all my fire,
I swim away in a basket of salt, 
Hoping dehydration will keep me quiet.
