you played me too much
i'm worn and done with this game
sore from being dropped so much
and trying to be tamed

you used me and threw me out
like nothing more than trash
it's obvious to you i'm disgusting
like a highly contagious rash

a porcelain doll tossed around
now all that's here is broken glass
I'm useless and damaged
not a person not even half

Missing him is like looking out the window and realizing it's been raining for three days straight. Moments pass by so fast that you forget they even existed. The raindrops are so thick that the faces in front of you are blurred and you start to drown in the feeling that you get when you see him. The feeling that you get when she wears his sweater and when the air wreaks of the cologne on his neck. You try to avoid the wind that carries his voice around your ears but sometimes you hear it even when he isn't around. It isn't fair that he got to walk away dry and you're still drenched in the mess he made of you.

Letters to John Green

Dearest Mr. Green,
It was an honor to have my heart broken by you. Your book, The Fault in Our Stars was one of the best recommendations I may have ever crossed. I thank you deeply for all the hours of pure giddiness and tortuous pain that you created in both Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters. However, I do have many questions about Hazel's future: does she ever loose her battle to her cancer? What happened to Augustus's parents soon after the loss of their son set into reality?

Your story honestly had my heart ripping slowly into pieces, the way you described how Hazel Grace and Augustus had crossed paths and went down a beautiful road into the hearts of all your readers... gave me the deepest appreciation of the young fighters of childhood cancers.

As a daughter of a cancer survivor, I've had my fair shares of visiting support groups with my mother while she was going through her treatments. I remember the panic I felt every time she went in for PET scans and Chemo, worrying for any ounce of her body to betray her. Thank you for making the pain and worry of cancer so beautifully worded, and the uncertainty of how quickly cancer can easily take the happiness away from someone.  
Thank you for the hopes given to me when you wrote the heartfelt words, “Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.”

You are truly an incredible soul with a heartbreaking habit of writing books with main characters who tend to die of some serious form of illness. I find you to be both evil yet so perfect when it comes to your stories. You are my inspiration. However, I am slightly upset that AIA is not a real book. It would be quiet a wonderful rollercoaster to ride.

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like betrayal”  Yours, could not have put my thoughts onto paper in any more of a perfected way.

Yesterday, you gained a new fan. I adore you as an author and person. I really do.

Sincerely,
m.b

so i fake another smile
and blink away the tears
i'm supposed to be strong
i'm supposed to have no fears

but the tears just keep rolling
it's so hard not to drown
i'm such a strong person

*why am i breaking down?

my music
 Apr 2014 m
apathy
some listen to pop
and like lady gaga
some listen to rap
and like tupac
abut me, i'm different

i listen to what is considered,
"emo music," or "goth music,"

so what does it matter,
if i listen to black veil brides,
or even of mice and men

music is music,
and that music saved my life

I never let you have my heart
But I gave you my emotions
I dove into your crystal blue eyes
And floated in a pool of your sweet words

Our talks seemed to stop time
I loved every second
As our moments together drifted by
My feelings grew stronger

One day I heard stirrings of another
And like that my emotions were tossed aside
Now at the sight of your face
I disguise how I feel

Maybe you knew how I felt
Possibly you didn’t
Either way
I will write my feelings away

With each stroke of my pen
I will forget your loving glances
Stroke away your sparkling eyes
And write away the marks you left on my heart

Moments
 Apr 2014 m

When quiet tears turn into boisterous laughter
and disappointment becomes joy

When my greatest shortcomings
become victorious achievements

When I discover that my troubles don't tower over me
and my worries crumble to the heart of the sea

When frustration turns to peace
and I take a sigh of relief

When I trust someone enough to open my heart
and unbreakable bonds are made

When I relentlessly pursue my dreams
because I trust the one who is watching over me

When these moments come to pass
I see the authentic beauty in my life

“The eyes are a window into the soul”

Eyes are the windows that we see the world through.
They capture the joy,
the sorrow,
and the pain of life
Each time we look at someone,
When we really look at them,
We get a glimpse of their soul.
Whether it be a stranger,
or the person that holds your heart.
When we peer into their eyes,
we see them for who they are.

Next time you look in the mirror,
ignore your physical beauty,
and stare into your eyes.
Look through the windows.
Behind them are stories.
Tales of struggle and triumph,
victory and defeat,
success and failure.
Each record valuable.
Each story significant.

Look into your eyes,
and see your soul.
That's where your beauty lies.





.
Even though we experience times of struggle and doubt. We must never forget the that best is on its way.
