OctPoWriMo 2019: Day 8: The Scent

he breathes the scent of me as he moves in

going for the kill, he can smell the sin

he thinks he knows I want what's on his mind

kills every little hope one at a time

he hates the wildness I hide inside 

he thinks it's a game when I try to hide

he gets a thrill watching my dying dreams

he loves listening to my helpless screams

he wants me to be his porcelain doll

to be his servant at his beck and call

I'd sooner live my days in poverty

than ever grant him ownership of me

Song Inspiration:

Rest in peace Scott Weiland

To every bastard who mentally, physically, or sexually abused and took advantage of my younger self with her low self-esteem who was so desperate to be loved, burn in hell.

These sorts of assholes seek vulnerable women to prey on. They are low-life predatory sadists. 

NaHaiWriMo 2018 #6: House of Cards

Notes:

Text by The Real Cie. House of Cards and its characters are the creation and property of Netflix.

I was inspired to create this Haiga while binge-watching House of Cards instead of sleeping. I noticed the parallel between the over-the-top drama involving House of Cards' main character, Frank Underwood, and Kevin Spacey, the actor who plays the part. Frank Underwood describes his father as having been a violent alcoholic. Spacey has stated that his father was both physically and sexually abusive as well as a racist.

While I feel that the inner turmoil from his childhood abuse combined with shame over his sexual orientation may have prompted Kevin Spacey to behave in inappropriate and ill-advised ways with young men, and while I feel compassion for his struggles, I do not think that his behavior is acceptable. It is a shame that it resulted in his being terminated from House of Cards because he is a superlative actor. Of course, it is also unfortunate that the young men subjected to his behavior suffered psychological repercussions.

This piece falls into the categories of fan art, art imitating life, human failings, tragedy, and irony.
