I never claimed
to be anything other than human,
girl-woman flesh and blood and bone,
so I'll dance, sing, and shout if I want.

how horrible am I to wish that they would break up soon - how long will you keep on at this I just - I thought we understood - during the year was one thing, but the summer was us, for good

Dear justagirl

Dear Justagirl, I've been meaning to write this to you for quite some time. I've always wished that I could make you see just who you really are. But you never listen. So maybe you'll hear me in this letter to who you claim to be. You're not just any girl. Not at all. Your silence brings beauty to the words of others. Your words crack open the things left unsaid, and shine light on all the places few dare look. You have a way about you that whispers of a majesty, and yet you always hold others up beyond yourself. Your eyes could scratch past the surface of the "he

don't you cry tonight

the sky was a golden red that looked like dragon fire, only warmer. the salty water was mixing in his veins and he thought he would be beautiful if only he could swallow enough oxygen to make him light headed; make him fly. there was something missing from his tongue though, and it stung like a bee to think about; [her] there was a rumble of thunder and a crack in his chest; sparking electricity to his inner organs that he thought redundant. the wind messed his hair like the devils and birds laid eggs in his collar bone because it was so stonily and heavenly white. he screamed like a choir boy “forgive me father for i have sinned”

Who Are You Trying To Fool?

I peel back my pockmarked skin and claw away at my imperfections. I wish to know what it feels like to be stared at; not because I'm a freak or burn people's retinas but because they're drawn to me. Struck by my eyes that promise unrequited love and legs that could take you anywhere you dream of. ------ My hips may not lie but I can guarantee you my lips do and my road maps will leave you off track and wandering aimlessly. I'm not your role model or tour guide or best friend and I hope you know that when you need me, I won't be there. ------ I pluck my eyes out and wander around so I can see what it's like to be blind. I've always had a d

The Bus Stop Dialogues

I. A young man at the bus stop turns to me and softly asks "Why aren't you wearing shoes?" He taps the faded leather of his suedo-skin and his eyes smile in a gentle lilt before his mouth does. I tell him that I like to feel the earth breathe. That textures keep my mind alive and ticking like a clock. I tell him that I'm trying to grow roots so my pale limbs can twist into a tree (the way L and I talked about it in therapy). I tell him that my soul is lonely and the ground is the only thing that's always there. I tell him that bare skin is sensitive and stroking it with every (twelfth) step is a soothing form of self-care

Schizophrenia

Voices whisper in your ear; Sweetest nothings, greatest fears. All your life your friend is there, Waiting with a tale to share. Threats are blown into the air, Ever present, meant to scare. Someone tails your every move; A hidden fiend, free to rove. Disembodied voices say: Never dare to disobey. Your friend arrives with a grin, A plan in mind, a great sin. Trembling grips your paling hand. Someone whispers their command. Terrified, you call to me, Hoping I can set you free. But as you point out your friend, Wishing that this all would end, My answer renews your fear: I see no one standing there.

Schizophrenia

Holding on to a thought has always been... difficult for me. They're so rarely interesting enough to hold my attention for more than a few seconds. Quite often, I'll tune out what someone is saying because something they said sparks a thought which leads to another thought which leads to another thought... No, I don't get distracted by shiny objects. I'm a human, not a magpie. I never really cared that I wasn't listening to what people were saying. My thoughts, as cascading as they are, were always more interesting than they were. Eventually, I did away with people entirely, living in my own stream of consciousness. Even now, it is difficul

dear self,

1. tomorrow is not worth waiting for. sure, there will be sunshine (with a slight chance of rain) and sure, some kid will be smiling, and yes, life is still moving on, but it's not like anyone cares. 2. you just want someone to love you, misery and tears and all. maybe you could spend saturdays curled up under the covers, memorizing the patterns of breathing. maybe you could count the seconds but the problem is that there would never be enough, the problem is that there's nothing there to love. 3. no one is listening. 4. i'd write you a letter, but you'd never read it. i'm stuck screaming into my own heart, wonderin

confessions of lostwithoutyou.

i'm not a liar. but i never told you that you always looked best in black. i liked how your skin would fade to a paler shade of perfection and your perfect teeth would glint a little brighter. and i could pretend for an evening that you were my black and white dream come true. and with you there would be no shades of inbetweens and no grays for us to get lost in. i never told you but it's true.   + i was never able to tell you, but i hate the way you cook your 'specialty' eggs. you always laughed over your shoulder and told me that they are the best food i’ll ever eat, that i was blessed to get the chance to taste them melt

i told you that i liked boys who smoked cigarettes, because then i knew that they needed something. i told you that i liked roses without the thorns, because then they wouldnt hurt so much when they got picked. i told you that i liked it when you held my hands because i didnt feel quite so lonely, not quite. i told you that i'd love you 'til the stars exploded and the clouds devoured us- and you said nothing. you said nothing. *** (here's a little history.) in vietnam people hurt other people. people burned themselves- (i wish i was that brave.) they threw chemicals and hid in the ground and laughed when the others cried. its

10 ways depression can say i don't love you

1. "i'm sorry i don't want to come over today." the clock reads 4pm and i roll over in my bed again. 2. "i forgot it was your birthday." i'd forgotten my own too. 3. "i promise i won't hurt myself." the ER doesn't believe it's an accident anymore. 4. you asked if i loved you. i had to sneeze and it never happened. i think you took that as a no. 5. we haven't had sex in a month. 6. we don't see your friends. we don't see my friends. i've forgotten i even have any. 7. i never answered your text. it asked if i was okay. 8.

it's been a little too long.

do I need to elaborate more on this? is the brevity okay, or does it seem like it's missing something?
