Hello, my name is Chantel. / The "le" suffix is for artsy-ness purposes. Thank you for understanding.
Today I saw that the government is Debating whether to join the fight. Again. What do I know of strife? The greatest anger I've felt is Perhaps when my sister steals my slice of cake. A "slice of cake" that maybe some other country Wants terribly bad. But can't fight. The playing ground motives are the same. The effect is magnified.

The News
If I was the supreme lord of the universe I wouldn't hide in waiting. If I had all the knowledge and foresight I would share it. Wars were fought and pain felt For a cause known, but a reason not. Wars are fought and we were still hurt Always for a cause that was known, but the underlying reason was not. Why should we **** for peace? Is it for "the greater good?" Or is it self-justification for our wrongs... The question waits to be answered.

War
The Last Day, the Last Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner... but it isn't. We'll see each other again, sometime. Hold back your tears, trust me. Ours paths will cross again. they say that no one remembers that special feeling, and all plans fall apart, but not this one. A strange coincidence brought us all together... so together, we will be. Think of time not as the absence of being with one other, but the countdown to the Meeting.

It's Only the Beginning
A heart that's filled up like a landfill A job that slowly kills you Bruises that won't heal You look so tired, unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us I'll take the quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide No alarms, and no surprises No alarms, and no surprises Silent Silent -Radiohead

No Surprises

Sleepless Nights
"Don't wear your heart on your sleeve," I may never learn that lesson. There is not that much a difference between loving and being nice. Why do we make such a big deal between being friends ... and "going out?" Those who are sentimental, often get chastised. Dickens was criticized by my entire English class. I am too effusive, and this will always be an obstacle for me.

Sentimentality
I tried to be nice to you. Unfortunately, that moment when we became "friends" never clicked in. Honestly, I wonder why. So now, in the semi-awkward space that remains between us, I would like to say, I'm done. I'm sorry to think that we'll never be friends. I wasted too much time on you.

Nice
Love, love. What is love? Is it with someone who makes you happy? For with you, am I happy. Unrequited. Fear, fear. What is fear? Why are you scared when it's only in your head? Fear is 90% thought and 10% occurrence (that's what the Adults tell me) Converse. Beauty, beauty. What is beauty? Who is beautiful? Is it who wears the prettiest clothes, or has the skinniest legs, or the most pleasant face? Nay, it's who ever has the best personality... right? Negative. Intelligence, intelligence. What is intelligence? Is it whoever gets the best grades? Yet those who don't try as hard do better than me. Exasperated.

Exasperated
The mere reason for your existence is unknown. The pathetic fallacy which always seems to counter your feelings. The mistrust you hold in your own friends. That feeling you get when you know you ******* up. The "fake smile" you try to keep on to mask those ugly scars. Those secrets you put on Tumblr. The moment when you give up and say "I don't really care." The time early in the morning when you realize you can't finish. The (many) opportunities you could've taken but tragically and regretfully missed.

If "IB" Had A Theme
Exists All the time Everywhere Maybe not in your mind All the time. It strikes at unprecedented moments and it hurts as if sand paper was rubbing against your lungs You are deeply hurt and shut your brain off temporarily your mouth may not be correlated with the nervous system. You say things you will regret. The overwhelming feeling of not being good enough washes over you, your life, your existence like an enormous wave eroding away a mountain of self-esteem that took you so long to accumulate.
