Update

  I haven’t posted on here for long over a year, but I haven’t been absent. I feel like my days on this site are passed and I have decided to make it inactive. I will be leaving the page up of course, I have too much work on here to delete the entire site and I’m too lazy to transfer it, but I will no longer be posting any new poetry to this site. I started this blog in 2010 with some poems that I wrote when I was fairly young and as went on and my style changed and evolved my posts had become increasingly sporadic, I felt as if my work didn’t fit in on this blog anymore. I am no longer “Lil’ Red Writing Hood”. I had been considering closing it at the end of 2014 but didn’t. Instead I created a new domain, but I never used it because I wasn’t sure how to go about transitioning over to it, I’m still not sure truth be told. But as I said, though I haven’t posted anything I haven’t been absent from WordPress. I have set up a new domain that will serve as my main site from now on while this will serve as a secondary site and archive. Thank you to everyone who followed me and took the time to read my work and encourage my writing journey over the past 7 years. I hope you will continue to support me and be apart of my journey.

Thank you,

Atirah Jewel

I plan the future,

So I don’t have to live in the now,

I find comfort in the past,

So I don’t have to face the present,

The present that I am pathetic,

That I am a disappointment,

I try to make everything just right,

Perfect,

But somehow,

I always make the most mistakes,

Me, who has no real talent,

Me, whose opinion and thoughts don’t really matter,

Drowning in myself for I am nothing to anyone else,

I will live in this pretend world of mine,

And pass each day of my untitled life by with self-seclusion,

And there I will plan my untitled future,

So I don’t have to live in the now,

I will find comfort in my untitled past,

So I won’t have to face my present,

And doing this,

I will pass each day of my life,

My meaningless, miserable existence,

Untitled.
