I stood on the edge of sanity
Crippled with self doubt and inadequacy
Wondering what it would feel like to be free
Free from the heartache
Free from past mistakes that plague my body like a sickness immune to our technological advancements
Free from the obligation to be who they all wanted me to be...
I jumped today
Through the grey clouds that surrounded me
Falling faster I found my wings,
I learned what it meant to be free
I jumped today...

And I just wanted you to know, I survived.

As the bright red hue of your taillights faded into the distance, I was reminded just how stupid it was to have worn my heart on my sleeve.

Dear, no one...

-love always, Dasha

As if always isn’t a commitment?
I fear commitment like some fear the end of the world.
Perhaps, it is not committing I am afraid of,
But having someone change their mind.

For there will never be enough time, if we make the best with the time we have, perhaps if we are lucky...if just for a moment...time will stand still

I remember a lot of what I wish I could forget,
but I will never not remember,
you

For the moment your lips said you didn't feel the same
Was the moment my heart felt what it was like to fall into a million pieces

I am not ashamed of my scars
For they show what I've lived
Ashamed I am
For those that lack understanding
