You told me to stay, but I'm cold and you're on the verge of passing out. I wish I could have called you last night when I was crying, but I couldn't seem to find your number. Baby, you were the best cup of coffee I've ever had, but I was your 8th shot of whiskey. But that's the kind of thing you're into and I know I'm not. And you say I'm too smart for you, but you don't realize how intelligently you put it. And I may be a well-running Volkswagon, but you're a shiny, new Mustang. And I may be good, but you're better. So what I'm trying to say is: we may not be good together, but I think I might love you. But like I said: I'm cold and you're on the verge of passing out. So I'm taking your jacket and leaving

My friend today passed by the place where her best friend crashed "Hi" she said as she passed by She laughed but I could hear the tears in her voice She missed him more than anything So you can understand my anxiety when you told me tonight that you crashed your car "I'm fine" you said when you called me You laughed but I could hear the anger in your voice I would have missed you more than anything

When we were young we used coloring books, full of black and white outlines just waiting for be made into something beautiful, waiting to be brought to life with colors. When we were young the reaches of colors had no limits, we didn’t stick with what colors we are told were correct. When we were young the princesses could be purple with green hair. When we were young we didn’t know that the world is full of grey area, we didn’t realize that when you mix too many colors together all you get is a terrible shade of brown. When we were young we let our imaginations run wild. We let our colors sparkle in the sun. But, too many years with the sun beating down has faded our colors. Powerful beams slowly bleaching out the colors of joy, and sadness, rage and love. Until all that is left is white with little tinges of what used to be the worlds brightest hues turned grey. We began to listen when we were told that the colors we had chosen were wrong. That a boy’s favorite color couldn’t be pink, that the trees and the grass had to be green, and the ocean was always blue. The most pigmented personalities and the most vibrant people have become pastel, because it is easier to blend in with the crowd than stand out. This world is not how it used to be, all of the color has been drained. But, I think everyone has the potential to be filled with color. Everyone can be a light show at disney or fireworks on the fourth of july, everyone can be an easter egg, or a glow stick. Anyone can be a rainbow, they just have to let their colors be louder than the negativity of this messed up world. So, spread your colors, blind everyone with your light, like that one teacher that doesn’t warn you before they turn on the lights. Play your music too loud, make sure that if they can’t see your colors they can hear them. Write, spill your heart out in words, stain the pages red with passion, or yellow with joy, or black when you are feeling hopeless. Paint this world how you want, Make the trees pink, and the grass blue, And don’t color in the lines, because the most interesting pictures really never do.

you used to tell me that death was nothing to fear but that's not true and it's not actual death that I'm afraid of  though it's what happens afterwards where will I go? what will happen to my spirit? will there be a heaven waiting for me? or am I destine to sit in eternal darkness? I like to imagine that we all become stars shining down on the earth and guiding our loved ones through the forest looking down on everyone and smiling because you know they admire you I also think a lot about what will happen to me physically I mean, I know that I will decompose but what will happen after that? I like to believe that flowers will sprout from my remains covering the ground in beauty and joy people will look at my garden and know I was loved some might not be as lucky though weeds might grow from them they're poison will cover the ground and create landfills they're toxins will spread into the hearts of everyone that sees their grave it doesn't matter what happens once your dead though what matters is what happens when your alive and maybe that's what I'm most terrified of that what I do while I'm living won't get me stars or flowers maybe I'll leave scars and be destine to have a poisoned grave the few who come to my funeral will spit to the ground hoping that my soul will still be there to feel it hoping that I live in eternal darkness so the next time you tell me that death in nothing to fear I will simply laugh and reply with 4 words "you're right, life is"
