With the screaming in my ears and the thuds, I can feel through these cheap floorboards but it’s the best we Can afford. Is there a stop to this meaningless pain he feels like inflicting?

How much more can you take?

I asked as her children are sobbing for there mom to be safe and okay yet I hear no answer as I hear you fall one gets brave and run toward the door of the crime and gets pushed down and made fun of cause

"he’s annoying"

they said as well did everyone so he became more silent even though he might have been one of the smartest there. 6-year-old who was slower than the other kids but got made fun of by his stepdad for
not being able to say what he needed

when yelled at frozen in fear he wouldn’t move scared for something to happen to him

now the only thing they have is the scars and trauma for back then

im glad its over

I think life is just full of pain and those moments of joy you feel in between those terrible days or weeks hell maybe terrible years are just that, moments. Those moments where you truly smile and look out the window and are happy that you can see that beauty of this war stricken world up close is what we need to be grateful for its what we live for and im finally okay with that

Have you ever just looked up at the stars? Just you and yourself and I mean really looked at them what will you be doing the next time every star on that night is in the same spot where will you be? who will you be? you make so many choices every day so how about today you make the choice to be a better person the next time you look at those stars and they are in the same spot but you're not
Have you ever thought about it?

outside is getting violent  

with people killing and getting killed wonder who is among the strong willed

outside is becoming empty  

when a invisible devil reaping on the unready

outside is not ready

for what will come in this unjust and incompetent society if we don't stop killing and maybe start thinking who we have lost
I suffer from severe social anxiety and hardly leave my house but at this point Im happy I'm here and not out there but here's why I'm happy I'm on this side of the glass and what I see out of it

I could write all night with the lamp by my bed shining so bright with no end in sight with all my inner dread there won’t be enough yet said to tell you how much I loved you right there and then
It has been very rough these last few nights

I look through pictures of this person I used to be with these faded whispers of the people I have seen telling me they miss the old me and don’t get me wrong I do too but who did I used too be?i was happy is all that matters I was free to be me and I didn’t understand the privilege that was given to me. That was my first mistake upon Many that kept piling up till I couldn’t see what was in front of me so I’m blind to will happen tomorrow but as they say tomorrow is not that far away
