so i paint myself grey and lie down for a while,
i'm saving my palette for those who aren't colorblind.

you keep crushed glass in your pockets
and like to tighten your fingers around the shards.
you won’t let anyone help you pick out the pieces
but sit there and complain about broken mirrors
and the loneliness in this world.

when i was younger, i had a deathly fear of bugs, and unfortunately sharp eyes. i would see a bug sitting on the wall, and i would stop absolutely everyone and everything to point it out, and then, you know, squish it. but as i got older, i realized that these bugs, little moths, little white house spiders; they're just lonely insignificant creatures, trapped on the wrong side of the screen door. and they beat their little heads against the window panes trying to escape, but just can't comprehend how small and fleeting they are, how weak. i wonder, if maybe, they do know, and they don't care. life for these little bugs is short, sand in an hourglass running, running, running; they're powerless, chewing holes through old coats in the backs of closets to pass the time. create, learn, retain, recreate, die—over, and over again. if everyone lived the way they do, everything would move so slowly. time wouldn't go so fast. maybe, that's why they do it.
i pass a moth on the wall in my hallway today. i let it sit.

i am the ocean.
i am all powerful.
i answer to no one, but the moon and its pull.
i am hues and foam,
i am so much,
undiscovered and unknown,
wine dark and deep and churning.
i am life and death.
i am the ocean
i am all powerful,
but the depths get lonely.
i am dark, and cold.
only the surface, picture perfect, is warm.
i have so much thriving life in me,
but i am so alone.
but maybe, hopefully,
you're the moon's pull,
and maybe i'm not so powerful after all.

my room feels too small
i am trapped behind my face and
my voice is shaking but
there is no one here to hear it.
there is a cold clammy feeling
i feel hot but i warp myself deeper into my sheets,
i feel itchy
and unattended.
i watch the seconds tick away
i feel like i'm clocking out with them
the sky is grey and this is the
first time in a while
when something feels the way i do
i can hear the neighbors in the next house and the bird below my window
it is so loud yet so silent
my voice is shakingb but
there is no one here to hear it.

“If all cosmos were the same distance apart, gravity would pull them all in the same direction. They’d remain perfectly aligned, and precisely nothing would happen. Irregularity, imperfection, and lack of order in hydrogen compacts, atoms of gas gravitating away from each other, and compressed temperatures is what created our universe. Perfection in our galaxy simply does not exist. Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.”

I remember when you first told me about him. I remember when you told me about his eyes and the jokes you had, and how he liked you but how you weren't sure if you felt the same way. I remember asking you how you were going to tell your parents, and when? Weren't you worried they wouldn't understand? You'd wondered if they'd think that you were going down the same path as your heroin-addled brother, still living with his old boyfriend who'd thrust him into his habits in the first place. I told you not to worry, that I'd be there for you. You laughed, and told me that I was the only normal one around here. If only you'd known. That raised so many questions for me, questions about me. You thought you knew who you were, but did I? I'd always been commended on my extreme self-awarness and sense of self, but this was unlike anything I'd ever known. I've been plagued by questions of who I am and where I lie, questions I'd never pondered aloud for fear that someone could hear me. And honestly, now, you sit across from me, at the foot of my bed, reading quietly, shaking the bed subconsiously but with the force of an earthquake, and I sit here, screaming in my head, clawing at myself from the insides, about who I am, and who I could possibly love.

ten truths- these suck and i am boring sorry
a.n. - no one is going to read this so i'm not quite sure why i'm writing this. anyways.
1. i love drawing, and art in general, and i excel at it. people say i should go to art school, become an art teacher or a designer or something, but i fear it's too unreliable.
2. i speak fluent russian.
3. i hate when people have high expectations of me.
4. my music taste includes almost everything other than rap/hip-hop, but mainly leans towards subgenres of punk and alternative. my favorite bands include all time low, you me at six, and twenty one pilots.
5. i have at least five plants growing on my windowsill and desk at any given time.
6. i prefer rainy weather and grey skies to any other kind of weather. i love how bright green all the grass and leaves and trees appear in contrast to the sky.
6½. i talk about the sky. a lot.
7. i love traveling. my next trip is to nova scotia, and i cannot express how excited i am about that.
8. sometimes songs and movies inspire me to change my life or go out and do something great or make something or just create, but the feeling usually only lasts for a few minutes. maybe if it lasted longer i'd actually do interesting things.
9. my favorite movies are: the art of getting by, pitch perfect (sue me), all time low: straight to dvd, and the breakfast club.
10. these are terribly boring and i am terribly sad.
11. bonus- i'm supposed to be writing my submission for an end of the year speech, but i've wasted more time than necessary doing this instead. i hope it's worth it.

Oceans
I feel when it begins
as the tide yanks me around,
tugging me,
and the water churns,
dark and stormy,
ready to take its chance
My chest tightens
as my lungs fill with sea foam
with brilliant shades of white and pale green,
their hues choking me s l o w l y
My legs are weights
and I'm wearing cement,
and I begin sinking to the bottom of the sea,
coughing and sputtering and gasping for air
I struggle to hold onto the world
or what’s left of it –
the small sliver of light I can see,
shimmering above me
There’s nothing to grasp onto,
nothing to anchor me.
Funny,
How that only makes me sink
The waves c r a s h
and so do I,
I keep drowning like there is no bottom,
simply unexplored ocean,
taking me to depths even shipwrecks have never been
maybe,
that's all i'll be,
a shipwreck
torn into pieces at the bottom of the world,
right from whence i came
and If I survive
I know I’ll have to face these waters again;
I always do
it's as sure as the high and low tides,
as sure as my own highs and lows,
And I know the oceans will be waiting.
format credit = destabilise

I saw my heroes again last night.
Nearly an hour of traffic and an hour in line spent waiting, shaking, and I was there. It was harsh, and cramped, and I sustained a few injuries during the openers, but it was worth it. Because when they came on stage, grinning, waving, jumping up and down (okay, maybe that was just Jack,) it all paid off. Every spare dime I saved for merch, every promise I made to my mother for her to get the tickets. I'd almost forgotten how good they'd sounded live. Almost. They played one song though, never before played on a tour. I don't think I'll ever listen to it again the same way. I don't think I'll ever listen to any of their songs the same way. My ears were ringing, they were ringing when I came home, and when I feel asleep. But them, they were just so happy. I think they might have been even more excited to play the venue than the fans were to come see the show. Which really, is a bit flattering. All Time Low really loves New Jersey. Everything I wanted to come true though, did. Or almost did, I guess. I stood a few feet from my heroes. Grappling to the barrier, really. Alex looked at me, almost chose me to come on stage. I almost touched Jack's hand. And the best part? Seeing them live, it's reminding you that they are more than pictures. They are people that you can see, that you can meet. Tangible. Real. Relatable. You know, their smiles are so much brighter, so much more beautiful in person. The way the crowd flowed together, it was endless. Our energy was endless. I was endless.
I saw my heroes again last night.

the flowers in my veins have withered,
and the musky smell inside my head
reminds me of my grandfather's attic,
filled with shoeboxes of photographs and heirlooms;
all of the memories and none of the warmth.

doing good things,
things that make you feel whole,
can help make you happy;
but even these things
in continuity,
will begin to feel empty,
and will only crack,
like the rest of your shell.

The first time I said his name,
It sounded like crushed glass.
I couldn’t quite make it roll off my tongue,
So in stumbling pieces it went.
The next few times I said his name, he helped.
We’d practice and practice,
Drawing it out in sharp syllables and silent consonants.
He knew we were making progress, gluing the glass together,
Bit by bit.
Bit by bit.
Over time, I got better and better at his name.
He spent less time teaching me it,
Less time telling me how he loved me saying it.
I still practiced in front of the mirror though, sometimes;
Because someday, I’d be able to say it perfectly.
And eventually,
I could say it perfectly,
Not a chip in the glass.
Maybe,
It was all the practice,
Whispering his name over and over into my knees on the night that he’d left me,
His name whole and still and perfect,
The rest of the world,
Shattered.

"Everyone is beautiful," needs to stop being the posterchild of abused phrases.
Everywhere you go, no matter what the subject matter is, or the derogatory comment said is, the responses will always be, "Don't worry, you're beautiful." "You're not fat, you're beautiful." "You're not (blank), you're (blank — usually synonymous with beautiful.)"
Can you be both? Yeah!!! (Fat is not a bad thing. It's not the worst thing you can be. Don't treat it like that.) Can you prefer to strive to feel beautiful? Absolutely. The issue is that this becomes the go-to answer for everything.
This phrase is being thrown around like everyone is a charity and beauty points will feed the hungry and clothe the poor.
News flash: they don't.
People need to realize that 'beautiful' is not the best thing you can ever amount to and that they need to stop lying to others and themselves.
Self confidence is amazing. Being able to look in the mirror and say, "I'm beautiful," is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
But, it isn't your safety net. It's okay to strive for more. This one phrase, repeated over and over by friends and loved ones will not shelter you forever. Find more in the apple core that is your life.
I don't see what's hard to understand about that.
