// i write shitty poems about shitty things //
she had constellations in her eyes when she looked at him he was the sun that shined in the morning and woke her up he was the moon, the last thing she saw every night before he put her to sleep she depended on him to help her live her life she looked at him like there wasn't a star that could ever shine brighter than him she knew she was right about that because when he looked at her he had constellations in his eyes

I have come to hate school, but I for one have nothing against getting an education, I love to learn and create and experience things that help better my education, but I have come to the conclusion that school doesn't really help me do that. The "education" that I am receiving from school is 95% useless. It's useless because these teachers have to follow a system of guidelines that are required for them to teach us so they can keep their jobs and continue making money. The things I am "taught" have no benefit to me what so ever. I sit in a desk all day being talked at about stuff that for one doesn't interest me and two isn't teaching me anything. I am not receiving an education. The system is testing me on pure memorization and listening skills, it's as simple as that, if you listen to what you're told and you memorize what you're told to know, you will do good on your tests, that isn't based off of intelligence at all, to me your intelligence is shown through your experiences, through the mistakes you've made, through the mistakes your going to make and through your will to try and understand. So you failed your history test and the girl right next to you got an A, in no way does that make her smarter than you, because her acing that test had nothing to do with how smart she is, she listened and memorized, that's all these tests are, and it's ******* stupid.

you just don't understand crying into your pillow night after night trying to make sure your sobs are as quiet as can be so no one will hear you so you won't have to answer the "what's wrong" question as if their is only one single thing wrong as if your world isn't slowly falling apart as if the question what's wrong isn't the biggest understatement as to what's really wrong

i finally understand why they call love a roller coaster ride because of the way you make me feel like I'm on top of the world with butterflies in my stomach one minute and the next minute I've hit rock bottom and all i can do is scream

she was broken used and thrown away her words were left unspoken there was nothing left to say she was broken her heart beginning to decay this isn't the life she had chosen but she had to live it every single day.

you weren't around much i wasn't worth your time you left and said we'd stay in touch but the days we spent together began to decline you stopped coming around you didn't even call but as I got older I found that my tears weren't worth it at all you always said you loved me but we both know that was a lie you weren't built to raise a family you didn't really try your actions spoke louder than your words which isn't saying much your actions showed us you were a **** considering you left in such a rush you made it seem like you always put your kids first when in reality you treated us the worst i don't really consider you my dad only because almost every memory I have of you is bad this is the side of you, that you always hid from me from now on the only thing I can call you is a deadbeat
