14/FTM/Kansas Hey, just a teen tryna write some stuff, read some stuff, do some stuff with my life. My English teacher said this is where to start.
While I don't necessarily dislike lighter colors, I don't often involve them in my artwork. I find it inaccurate to make a piece meant to involve a lot of feeling so happy, because I feel that 'happy' isn't a good feeling. When I make art, I want people to cry. I want them to feel the things I felt when I wrote it. Until I met them, I didn't realize I could pour happiness into art as well. I didn't realize I could make people feel happy when they saw my art because I didn't believe that would be making them feel the way I felt when I wrote it. That was my biggest flaw and regret: Negativity. Now that I have people I hold close to me, I finally believe that I can put something positive into my art. And that being said, Go out there. Feel something. Be something, do something, go somewhere! It's finally time for me to exit this dark place in my life, and I hope you soon follow me out of the door. While I don't believe I am necessarily happy, I am content now. I feel that life is worth living. I'm still trying to quit bad habits, I'm still trying to having healthy eating and sleeping schedules, but I'm calm nonetheless. I'm finally ready to move on from my past, and I want you to come with me out the door. I want to move on with you, I want you to be happy... I want you to be proud of yourself And even though it's gonna be hard, I can be proud enough of you For the both of us.

Worthwhile
He slapped me And it bruised But honestly I shouldn't have said that I pushed him again I shouldn't have tried to tell him to quit Because fixing him isn't my job I'm supposed to love him through everything and I do I do The words that started it all I do But I didn't Understand the situation But now I do And it's okay He wasn't always like this It's just the things He chooses to consume It's not a choice It's an addiction And besides the makeups already done And the bruise is already hidden It's fine We're fine He's fine This is fine

Chemical Imbalance
Look at her go She goes so fast Time to let go She grows so fast Look at her run She runs so fast Oh, now she's gone They're gone so fast The train The house The quiet Mouse She travelled afar With a mouse Snuck on a train Watch her go The train's so fast How the heat Turned to rain so fast

She The Moon
Running Flying away from you Your betrayal Flying away from you two Wash your hands before takeoff The soap The smell Your smell The soap The flowers The soap, your smell, the flowers, A betrayal, soap And a misplaced plane ticket

A Betrayal, Soap, and a Plane Ticket
Dancing on the hardwood floors Careful not to slip But it's hard to see In this pitch-black room The light journeyed afar to say hi to an old friend Who needs a little bit of light Right now The smell of lilacs My mother's perfume Invades the pitch-black room

Dancing, A Pitch-Black Room, and the Smell of Lilacs
"Sorry, what's your name again? No, give me a second, I got it." I forgot your name "Sorry, I don't really remember anything before 6th grade!" My memory is awful Trauma made me block it out Sorry, what was I saying?

Forgetting Everything
The event that turned my life upside down inside out backwards Was losing you The day you stopped saying "Hi!" Was the day I stopped saying anything Because I had nothing worthwhile to say I had no one to say anything to That day I lost you I lost my voice
