Cynical Compliants
I am a teenage introvert: / My bed is unkempt and I long for forgiveness - mainly from myself and possibly my mirror / I worship the cynical and complain how much I hate school - even though I hate when I stay home

6 rules about life
1. Life is full of beauty. The stars in the sky. A lovers embrace. The leaves changing color and falling to the ground. A cat's meow. A husband and wife - together after 50 years. A child's laugh. A mother's cry of happiness. Young love. Kids riding bikes. A family spending time together. The gentle wave of the ocean. The sunset. The sunrise. Everything in between. Life is full of beauty. / 2. Life may change for the worse. You could get laid-off or your lover may leave. A family member may die or a baby might die in the womb. A child may start failing school. Someone might get sick - very sick. But... / 3. Life may change for the better. You might get that promotion. You child may get straight A's. A person's sickness will be healed. A baby might be born. Your lover might say 'I do'. You might travel to a new country. You might buy a house and raise a family. But,, whatever life throws at you, take it with a smile and grace. Something good is coming.

I hate mondays
It's finally friday / I go to a school where the students are higher than the grades / where people go to parties to get drunk, so they don't have to steal from their parents

light
there is books stacked in the corner and words flow out of every nook and cranny / a single light burns in the middle of the room / a light that dissolves your mask, a light that highlights ever scar you cut

dark skies
to be the girl you want / or to just be me / nothing can make you happy, but everything can make me sad
