in the least poetic way,
it feels like no one cares
anymore and i'm kinda all alone.

Sometimes what you need is so simple
that it's almost silly. You don't need them that much, {(| right?
But you do. YOU SO DO. You kind of just want them
right next to you all the time. You want them to kiss you softly
like a slow rainfall and hold you tightly like they might lose you tomorrow.
& it's totally ridiculous because all you want is for them to want you.

ah, but don't you see?
the cruelest of insults
that come out of my
mouth will always
be directed at me.

erase me out of your life
i'm not one to beg on my knees,
for you. not anymore.
feeding your ego
is out of the question now,
we
are out of the question.
in the simplest of terms:
anything we had is being cut off
just like this sente—

have you ever met someone
whose spirit radiates the
feeling of the unexpected
light, sweet drizzle you
sometimes get when it's july?
they're ( refreshing ) without
being draining and they are
the best kind of happiness
boost. they taste like spring
and smell like ( a new home. )
they're > kind of perfect, and
you don't even mind because }
you get to call them yours.

trace a map from my temple to my cheek
with your thumb and
memorize the hollows of my face
memorize the secrets beind each mark on my skin
memorize the curve of my hip
between butterfly-kisses
and early morning giggles and tea
memorize the way i walk
talk
breathe
think
(god knows i memorized you already)
keep a clear picture in your mind of me today
for when this all gets fu.cked up tomorrow
(god knows it must)

every problem seems so much greater
once it's late in the night and you've
had too much time to think about your
life. after the night has dragged on too
long and your early-morning caffeine
high has faded completely, leaving you
with an uncomfortable sense of lucidity.
when your smallest of actions appear
almost monumental and that what you
did on tuesday at 2PM in between biology
and spanish class seems like the most
embarrassing thing you have ever done.
night time is the best and worst time,
but often one does forget that nothing
good happens after 2 in the morning.

Will you hold my hand as we walk to a coffee shop? I'd lay my head down on your knees and read aloud from my favourite book while you stroke my hair. Our fingers will be intertwined almost constantly, and I'll kiss you softly as the sky drops down into the blue of my favourite jeans. I'd tell you my biggest dreams and secrets, and you'll teach me how to sing your favourite song. Together, the world would be silent and our heartbeats would be the loudest sounds.

poetry teaches you how to see.
writing, really, teaches you the intricacy
of description and the beauty of the world.
for example, you can look at a night sky
and see a simply black sky with stars, but
i see it as a brushstroke of the deepest of blues,
spreading across the world. so dark that
it almost consumes you, if not for the tiny
diamonds that are encrusted in it, crea-
ting the most beautiful of constellations.
or you can see a tree in the middle of the
day, and think that it looks pretty cool.
i'll see it and see a green that could liven up
the saddest of souls, with leaves that glow so
nicely, thanks to the glimmering rays coming
out of the sun. an unviewable sun that still
affects the whole spectrum of the almost
unbearable summer day, that is made okay
by the simple notion that days like this don't
stay forever. the simple act of writing has
taught me to see and appreciate the things
that you could let slip out of your grasp so
easily. it teaches so much and does so little.

i'm just really fvcking self concious
i'm really unhappy most of the time
and i really hate myself ( r e a l l y )
and i don't want people seeing me
like that... like i don't want people
to think they can easily get to me
( even though they can )

it's pretty easy for me to feel like "second best" and that's
probably my biggest problem.
i'm easily put down and i always feel like i try
so hard and i put so much effort into
relationships or people
or how i look or what i do
and then someone can come and do a n y t h i n g
and it'll be spectacular. it'll be a thousand
times better than whatever i will have done
and it makes me feel uneasy.
i work for something to work well
and someone else can put in no effort and it'll
be smooth sailing for them, you know?
sometimes, i'd just like to be the "best" at something
or just the most at something that doesn't suck
or isn't just misconstrued. i'm doing my best
isn't that enough?

clarifier: this is not about me.
don't let being lost
guide you into a dark
alleyway, where no one
can see you. not even
yourself. who are you?
you don't know. what
have you done to end
up here? you do know.
why would you even do
that? you do know, and
you regret it. you'll
regret it forever. the
actions you took haunt
you, and they led you
here. into a dark, sad
place where your inner
demons can pounce and
take you for a ride like
never before. why would
you do that? you regret
knowing why you did it.
you regret it but it's
done now. the bomb went
tick tick tick tick tick
and now it's let go all
of the pain it's got to
offer. why would you do
that? you don't know
anymore, not at all.

it feels like someone is
stepping onto your chest,
and you're choking on the lack
of air and the abundance of tears
while someone else makes them feel
all the things you cannot. you can't
intertwine your lips with his
and make the world seem like a
butterfly, floating in the air, not
affecting anything outside of it's realm.
you cannot make him smile so wide that
his eyes glitter and sparkle like a firefly
on a warm summer's night. you can't hold him
close to you and not say anything, but know
what he's thinking.
you can't run your hands through his hair,
while his arms are around your waist
and you feel like flying.
you can't do those
things now because the job has been taken,
and you've been forgotten now.
you are alone.

how to feel better about anything
• lie in bed with a soft sheet
• write about the sunset of butterflies or whatever makes you smile
• sing the songs that make your heart feel whole
• watch something funny (by god, not a chickflick)
• eat something homemade
• paint until you feel okay again
• try something new
• read a john green novel
• cry about it until you can't cry anymore, then think about how odd crying is anyway
• call your best friend
• learn to fishtail braid your hair
• make yourself some tea or hot chocolate and put it in a cute mug
• try to smile

stitched up
fixed up
in all the right ways
programmed to run
on those horrid days
cause when it's
dismal
and sad and grey
you have to be fine
anyway
when your stuck in
one place
that never changes
and all you want to do
is rephrase it
you have to realize that's not the way
that there's an end
to every day
and when change is necessary
for your sad
little self
then beat down the wall
that stands in the way
of what you need
and what you crave
with your last strength
make it through
if it's good for us
it's good for you
do it now, see it
through
