"poems don't always have to rhyme, you know. they're just supposed to be creative." moonrise kingdom (2012)
i'm so ******* sick of always being the one to ask the questions. why won't anyone just ******* ask me what makes me happy? why won't anyone just ******* ask me how i'm actually doing? why won't anyone just ******* ask me how much it hurts to hear nothing but doubt when you ask yourself if you matter enough to keep going.

when the sun sets and everything turns to silhouettes, i know that darkness falls close behind.

i'll never fit in, and i'll never stand out. all i'll ever do is exist, and i just don't know if that's enough anymore.

this winter is a rough one, ice cold isolation echoes inside my body through mazes of bones, like loneliness flooding through city streets. i can hear these icicles begin to shiver, begging for me to bring them inside, but i think that i'd rather just stay out here. this cold is all that i have ever known, and the only way that i know how to live.

it hurts so much to see someone you love fall out of your life, but it hurts even more to know that you're the one who pushed them.

i'm losing it again. everything that i worked for, everything that i tried so hard to keep close, i can feel it all slipping from my fingers and i just can't seem to get a grip. everything is moving too quickly and i'm losing control, because reality has started to distort and thoughts are beginning to take over.

distorted
i'm in love with words, but afraid of voices. silence is both beautiful and terrifying, because thoughts just never seem to sleep. no one seems to really understand, because although these voices never stop talking, the words themselves are often too quiet to speak.

maybe the reason i love the city is because it is so deadly still. these concrete mountains and paved rivers never seem to move an inch or take a single breath. i'm becoming ok with not being able to see the clouds above my head as they pass with the wind, because everything seems easier when these buildings block off the outside world. i'm starting to want them to enclose me and if i'm lucky, one day they'll swallow me whole because i just can't handle anymore motion, and i don't think i'd be able to say another goodbye. so maybe i'll head to the city, because all i really need is the world around me to sit still for a few moments so i can actually take a second to breathe.

city pt 4.
sometimes i feel as though my mind was set to self destruct, and i just cant seem to find the switch to make it stop. maybe that's because it's buried beneath the very thoughts that set it off.
