Don’t hate

that which you

are

but instead,

love that

which you can

be

You say
life is
meaningless

I say
that’s the only way
you can give it your own
purpose

I find eyes to be the most beautiful when soaked in tears,
maybe that's why I find some joy in hurting others.

I’m afraid to leave my bed this morning.
I don’t want to go to war.
The thought of these stranger filled hallways makes my stomach ache in fear.
And the strangers I know most give such caring glances, but I can’t help thinking that they loathe my presence.

I don’t like to lie.
But smiling does get me through the day.
