...
Every minute passed
Has seeped through a cloth
That was meant to be a sheet of steel.
I poured my heart into a disguise.
And there you stood -
Hunching, feeling no shame...
Watching as my sweat and tears
Came rushing down...
Down the waterfall containing
All the heart in which I poured.
My body felt nothing,
But my mind fooled me
Into believing that my back and my limbs,
And mostly my heart and soul
Ached with throbbing, burning pain.
And there you stood -
Hunching over, and feeling no shame.

Free and understanding,
I opened up my heart for you.
The tenderness that
I have hidden so well
Has melted away
For the comfort of your being.
This feeling, this joy
That I allowed myself to indulge
Was all that was felt
In this moment, in this timestill.
The moment in which
My soul touched yours
And became emotionally immortal.
Emotion.
The emotion that I could only feel
When I am with you
Could only bring me
Peace, beauty, heart, soul, happiness.
Though this feeling of divinity
I so foolishly perceived as eternal
Was washed away slowly
Over the days, months, years
I thought it would live.
And now lay what is left of me…
My broken soul.

I can see fine,
But many times
I find myself being blinded
By “truth”
I find myself giving in
And believing all I hear…
Allowing a complete stranger’s power
To overcome my own train of thought
To choot-choot over everything which I knew of
Making my opinion minuscule and disgusting
It drowns me under a deep pool of water
Where my lungs cannot function
Where my heart creates explosions
And it becomes incredibly difficult to endure
This entrapment felt
Is believed to be “truth”
… But I can see
Just fine.

Hello,
My name is Olivia... I'm a singer, songwriter, actress, musician, and on alivenotdead, I plan to publish my free-verse writing. Although I am supposed to be cramming for my history mid-term, I am here - posting my first blog entry on alivenotdead. Hehe... breaking the stereotype is fun.
So here's a little introduction about me & my writing:
Most of the pieces I post here will be pieces that have been ... marinating ... in my notebooks for years. I do have new pieces, but they are usually handwritten, so they go into my notebook before they hit the internet. The pieces are centered around my family, relationships, life, people, and rarely, myself. Therefore, the pieces I write are extremely personal. They are raw - very much unedited - they just express how I feel at the moment. I call them "pieces" because I don't want to call them poems, songs, monologues, spoken word... because they're not. They are just writings that I needed to jot down in order to express certain issues I was going through at the time. At first, I was hesitant in deciding to publish my writing because I had written them for myself and only myself - they were written because I needed an outlet to express my anger / frustration / pain. Most, if not, all the pieces are dark, sad, and gloomy, which is ironic since I am an overall pretty positive person.
I look forward to sharing my works with members and visitors of alivenotdead, and I hope that I can connect with as many people as I can reach through my art. And now, it is time to go back to reading about ancient civilizations. Good night, love.
- Olivia
Note: my alivenotdead profile is not intended to be flashy or glazed with caramel - it's just supposed to be real and raw... filled with substance and food for thought...
