For a star to be born, there's one thing that must happen. A gaseous nebula must collapse. / / So collapse. Crumble. This is not your destruction. This is your birth. / / Let's connect! / Twitter: @aye_ashely / Tumblr: aye-ashely.tumblr.com
Death has no prejudices. No favorites. It doesn’t care if you’re young or old, rich or poor. Death is inevitable, whether or not you’re ready for it. But once you're dead, what's it like? It’s like you’re never really in one place, rather everywhere all at once. Like your conscience has been sprinkled throughout the world like grains of sand and your breath is part of the wind. Your voice is now the rustling of the trees and your blood is rushing water in the rivers. You’re no longer confined to a vessel and you feel like you’ve never actually felt completely free until now. Your energy that was manifested in your body is now recycled back into Earth. There’s an immense sense of belonging and contentment, like you’re comfortably numb. There is no sense of time. The years, days, hours, minutes, seconds; mean nothing. When you’re young, you feel indestructible. You feel immortal. There’s always a tomorrow because the sun is promised to rise the next day. It’s hard to imagine a day that you won’t exist anymore. It’s easy to take things for granted. Sometimes it’s hard for people to realize how fragile human beings really are. It doesn’t take much for our soul to be ripped from our bodies. Not much at all.

Death Isn't Scary
She carefully creased the corners, Bookmarking her favorite parts. Because the words on those pages Seemed to touch her heart.

The Little Bookworm
Children of the Moon! Abandon your worn shoes And frolic freely, barefoot In Her midnight light; Let down your lovely locks And bare your ashen skin To allow Her celestial lips Kiss your collar bones; Let Her blanket of shadows Drape over your shoulders, While She crowns you with A headdress of night diamonds.

Unreasonable Expectations (10w)
When they called me worthless... I grasped my purpose. When they called me stupid... I discovered my intellect. When they called me weird... I learned "normal" didn't exist. When they called me ugly... I found beauty within myself. I realized the things they called me weren't true When I finally stopped believing them. And I refused to ever let anyone's opinion of me Hold up as fact in my mind ever again. And that helped mold the stronger person I am today.

A Thank You to My High School Bullies
A crack trailed down The center of my heart When I saw my dad cry As his world fell apart I remember him sitting On the living room floor Crying as his wife told him He can't see his kids anymore I got down beside him And hugged him so tight Wishing that I could make Every thing right But mommy was leaving And taking us along So he told us he loved us And said to be strong

The Good Die Young
You pull down the blinds To shun out the sun Because you're too comfortable In the darkness

Dusty Shades
You don't express love in the ways that I want you to, But you express it in the ways that you know how.
