#diamond sharp

Diamond stepped down from her throne, leaving for what felt like the first time all week. Her colonies provided natural resources for Homeworld and the many worlds their subjects inhabited, and now there were issues; it seemed a pirate band of Off Colors interrupted the flow of goods throughout the quadrant.

That wouldn’t do: they needed those resources to power the vehicles and computers connecting each world. Peridots needed the raw materials to create better systems and weapons for the quartz soldiers.

White attempted to do what she could from her end, but mostly what she could do was allocate additional resources and gems to beef up security along the supply lines, and express her displeasure that the pirates still roamed free. Were all of her soldiers so incompetent now that they couldn’t blast a single ship from the sky?

Diamond left her throne room and walked to stretch her legs. As she looked out into a window that surveyed her empire. In the reflection of the window, she saw another gem.

I’m in constant mourning of my previous self. I’m in constant mourning of my previous self. I’m in constant mourning of my previous self. I’m in constant mourning of my previous self. I’m in constant mourning of my previous self. I’m in constant mourning of my previous self. I’m in constant mourning of my previous self. I’m in constant mourning of my previous self.

I’m in constant mourning of my previous self. I’m in constant mourning of my previous self. I’m in constant mourning of my previous self.

It’s a blessing to lay oneself bare and celebrate the mess.

I vacillate between feeling everything and nothing at all. If I told you that you’ve won would you leave me alone?

My brain taunts me. It takes twisted satisfaction in stopping me in the shower, on the subway. I’m suicidal more than I’m not. The silence will kill me if nothing else does. I’m terrified of people seeing you and me together, that they’ll run far, far away from both of us.
