Chaos with Cait

Sleep takes me sideways, not down, not inward, but into a river of color where the noise of the world fractures into prisms. The clocks melt first, their hands dripping like honey into the mouths of birds who sing in languages I almost remember. Buildings fold like paper swans. Highways turn to silver serpents, curling through skies painted with forgotten names. Somewhere, a train made of laughter climbs to the moon, and I climb with it, my body dissolving into the smoke of i

Fear said stop. I whispered no, then I shouted it.

I have learned that love is not a rescue, only a meeting place for two whole hearts.

There is a hollow inside me, a quiet cavern that no voice reaches, no laughter stays, and no love lingers long enough to fill. The hollow inside of me echoes with everything I’ve lost, each step pounds against the silence reminding me that I am both a body moving and a void lingering, a vessel that leaks even as it drinks. I have tried to pour the world inside work, touch, beauty, faith and still the void waits, patient as winter, unmoved by my desperate offerings. Some days

Her body remembered what she outgrew. Her soul remembers what she rose for.

My bones feel borrowed, as if someone else signed the lease on my skin.

Today I stitched myself together with whispers that things can change. There is always hope at the end of the day.

There are nights when silence feels like a predator, waiting behind every door frame, breathing in rhythm with my own.

I am the laugh caught in a throat full of sorrow, both, light and shadow braiding themselves whole.

Do not confuse my fire for something you can hold; I was never meant to burn politely.

Summer slips quiet as breath, sun-warmed skin already cooling, the laughter of July dissolving into the hush of September. I try to hold...

My map is a blur, ink bleeding into fog, yet my feet keep on moving.

My softness is barbed wire, you may enter, but only if I open the gate.

The sun keeps me, e ven when I am drowning in shadow, she waits; golden, patient, unblinking, a steady hand stretched across the sky. I...

I dream in colors that do not exist, naming each shade after the way you once said my name.

Greed wears a crown. Hunger wears rags. War feasts. Peace starves. Racism loads the gun. Sexism pulls the trigger. Hate watches. Laughs....

A sunbeam brushes my shoulder, suddenly I am golden, suddenly the world feels like it wants me here.

Once, long before I was born, a shadow entered our line. The shadow, did not knock, did not ask, It just curled itself in the womb like a...

Each sunrise whispers, “Try again, but wilder this time.”
