i put my hands on either side of my face so i can't see out of the corners of my eyes. i'm alone and no one else is around. the world is mine to pray to. i am so lucky to be alive
i love how he smells
and i know that soon enough
it's going to hurt so badly
to smell it ever again
kiss her for the rest of the summer if you please. just know that not only have you lost me, but all the respect i once had for you.

maybe losing my respect doesn't mean much to you, but one day there is going to be someone who you are so afraid to lose and their respect will mean so much to you.

i'm sorry that person couldn't be me.
call me a ****** *****, at least i'm honest.
i stick my head out the window
and let the wind rip through every curl of my hair
i feel free
but at the same time
trapped.
in my own head
in my own thoughts
in myself
i'm stuck in a revolving door
and it never slows down enough
for me to get out
i'm walking
without a purpose
and i can't find anyone
to stop the door
for me.
i bet you can't even spell my name
that is how little you know me
i asked him
"what's worse a liar or a cheater"
"i didn't lie"
actually
you just did.
in a room full of people you'll find me in the middle
it's not because i am extroverted and outgoing
because, yes i am those things
it is because i am scared
i am scared to be left alone
and so
i do what i can to surround myself with people
even if those people are toxic to me
i paint my nails yellow
because yellow is beautiful
and yellow makes me happy
and nothing bad can happen when the sun sets and gold streams through the windows in my house
i paint my nails yellow
because it's a reminder to smile
a reminder that there is good in this worls
so
i paint my nails yellow
