We need to stop believing in the idea that peace requires forgiveness -- especially not for those who were hurt the most.

Cut people off of your circle if they no longer fit.

Always start with the piece that makes the most sense.

Maybe, you should've tried harder.
Harder for her not to have any reasons at all.

Try again. Fail again, better.

we won't know how many birthdays we had until the last one.

if she ever look at you the same way i did,
how i chose to skip a heartbeat;
if you ever felt free the way you acted when you're with me.

i wonder if you've also felt the words we left unsaid,
or if you are curious to hear them.

i know there's no point in sending this message to you,
but deep down,
i know you wonder, too.

i disappoint people without even trying,
like it's my innate talent.

feel without needing you,
enjoy things you told me not to,
write poems that are no longer about you;

this is my first move.
