People don't drop out of school and work Full time in food service because they're happy. At least the tips are good. I made over $70 this week. My parent's tips are pretty solid as well, But lord knows I don't listen to those. It's funny, you know? It's really **** funny. Even when I thought there was no light At the end of the tunnel, I could see a faint glimmer of hope, Of relief, of it will be okay... someday. But now, oh, Now I'm too afraid too open my eyes. Even if that faint glimmer of hope is there, I can't see it. Honestly, people don't drop out of school and work Full time in food service because they're happy.

There is beauty in breaking down and putting yourself back together, but picking up the pieces is hard when you've misplaced so many of them. The thing about heartbreak is that it's not a one time thing. No, it can happen over and over again, each time being more painful than the last. It's hard to find the silver lining when disappointment is your oldest friend. No, I can't find the silver lining because there are too many lines on my wrists, and I have fallen apart and put myself back together s o m a n y t i m e s that it's not even beautiful or poetic or courageous. It's just sad. I find too much comfort in voices that aren't my own and in arms that aren't mine. I'd sleep in a stranger's bed if it meant I didn't have to sleep alone, and even with my head on your chest, listening to your sleepy heartbeat, I still feel lonely. Yes, I know how to pick up the pieces, but my heart is made of glass and my hands are covered in scrapes. Nothing worth having ever comes easy, but I'm so **** tired, and my hands are sore, and I've picked up the pieces s o m a n y t i m e s that I don't think I can do it again. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

1.) i loved you more than the moon loves the stars. i loved you more than elizabeth loved mr. darcy. i loved you more than i knew it was possible to love someone. 2.) you lied so frequently and so goddamm gracefully that i don't know how much of us was real or another fabrication made up by you but believed by me. 3.) even though i want to and maybe even need to hate you i can't. 4.) while you were stealing my heart you were also stealing from my wallet. 5.) if you called me right now i would still answer on the first ring. 6.) i'm so angry that it makes me sick. i think of what you did and it makes my stomach ache. 7.) there's an emptiness inside me and i think you used to be there. 8.) you ****** me up so bad and you don't even know it. 9.) i love you more than the moon loves the stars. i love you more than elizabeth loved mr. darcy. i love you more than i knew it was possible to love someone.

There is nothing romantic or poetic about it. What you're doing is messed up. And I'm tired of defending you. You've made an art of playing the victim. But I'm done playing along.

Five weeks. I thought my frequent trips to the bathroom Were brought on by stress. I thought I cried all the time Because I was depressed. Five. Weeks. Time is running out And I don't know what I'm going to do.

i used to think that needing people was weakness and that relying too heavily on another person would make me less of one myself. maybe i still think that. maybe i'm a hypocrite for telling you i need you. even on days when i don't want you or even like you i need you. i swear to god i don't want to but i need you. and maybe i am weak but i really ******* need you.

I saw the way you flinched when I said I didn't trust you. I know it stung. Good. I hope it hurt; I hope it leaves a scar. I hope those words ring in your ears As you try to fall asleep at night. I hope they haunt you, And I hope you know that I didn't just say it to hurt you. (Although that is a bonus.) I meant every word. I don't trust you.

My mom asked me why I don't have friends anymore. I told her it's because they left. She told me it's because I pushed them away. I don't know which answer is more pathetic. But who needs friends when you have stardust p u m p i n g through your veins, making everything light and soft and so very s l o w? Hey, I might be broke and lonely, but these wings can take me anywhere. I'm unstoppable. I'm flying. But no, I'm f a l l i n g. I'm going d o w n d o w n d o w n. Oh, god, please don't let me hit the ground.
