I store words, lyrics and quotes like fireflies in a glass jar so they can guide me through the night and dark forests.
No one and nothing can bring me back from tipping over the edge. Everyday I fought a battle with every last ounce in me even though my whole body screamed at me not to and to give in and surrender. Someone has to win this war and I have a pretty good idea of who it is. Fighting with every atom of my being just to do a simple thing as living. We were all once happy children with big hearts but the devil came over to a selected few and stole our souls. My happy ending is near and though it might be a sad and wasted life I lead I want to die in peace and happiness. For the first time I am speaking for myself instead of through the misguided quotes of books and song lyrics. That's a good ending. To find your voice and then die.

A Happy(ier) Ending
Smiles that are reflected like cracked glass mirror. An image of falsehood projected out. Run your fingers along the cracks But don't get too close Lest your soul become ruined by that cracked glass mirror smile. Yours fingers run along like lifeless apologies. Wishing to soothe and fix what can't be but once was. You snag and trip. Run along now. Before the shards pick you up and hold you.
