Over the last ten years or so I have used writing as an outlet to cope with many big emotions and feelings. You'll find many of these works to be frankly quite depressing, maybe even scary, and absolutely raw. I urge anyone reading to not read with worry, but rather curiosity.

Thank you <3]]></description><link>https://irelandoriana.wixsite.com/s-word-vault/post/a-collection-of-what-happens-when-i-am-left-alone-with-myself-for-too-long</link><guid isPermaLink="false">696d37bf322ac077fef8e793</guid><pubDate>Sun, 18 Jan 2026 19:46:54 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d3fa68_13afb2d2accc4648946ad2e7ead3d1ce~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Oriana Ireland</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wracking.]]></title><description><![CDATA[I don’t understand what’s going on Nothing has changed I’m wracking my brain  But maybe that’s the problem I’m wracking my brain To the point of obliteration It takes all the weight And it just sits. I’m wracking my brain Which is why it’s hard to focus Why I can’t concentrate My blood lacks the red it needs  As my brain is wracked and bleeds So in return everything shakes. It shakes. So I let go of the wracking I make peace for myself But in return I’ve started a war With my future mental...]]></description><link>https://irelandoriana.wixsite.com/s-word-vault/post/wracking</link><guid isPermaLink="false">698417539b806d1e11042c57</guid><pubDate>Thu, 05 Feb 2026 04:07:16 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Oriana Ireland</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[...]]></title><description><![CDATA[Do you ever feel like you were born with something  A darkness maybe  An inescapable breath of sorrow  Of melancholy that lingers  Its stench pulls you deep into despair Looking for a light as it surrounds you  And pulls you down  Over  And over  And over again. What do you do when you’re tired? When your body aches as you begin to dissociate  When all the versions of yourself from your past are whispering in your ear “Draw blood” they say Oh the comfort and confusion that comes with the...]]></description><link>https://irelandoriana.wixsite.com/s-word-vault/post/d3830ce9</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6973d5b8aa29322cefccbf3a</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Jan 2026 20:11:27 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Oriana Ireland</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[               The Locker Room]]></title><description><![CDATA[I’m fine sitting alone.

If I wanted to be with people, I’d insert myself into a conversation about the chemistry test or how spring break was with a gathering of people who’s interconnected past defines their friendship. Mine would too. If I wanted to participate in the societal  practice of small talk with groups of people who are by default on the right track to become active citizens of this world, I would. As they prepare to fall subject...]]></description><link>https://irelandoriana.wixsite.com/s-word-vault/post/the-locker-room</link><guid isPermaLink="false">696e779497eedde805eab165</guid><pubDate>Mon, 19 Jan 2026 18:30:29 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Oriana Ireland</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
