Looking at the star
I heard him wisper
"You'll shine as bright as me someday."

Despite all the hurting
Despite all the bad
Despite all the leaving
Despite all the sad

There is still healing
There is still good
There is still staying
There is still those who would

rather stay weak
when they could be strong
those who chose right
when they could chose wrong

there are two kinds of people in this world
those who do
and those who don't.
So which one are you?

If the sky could talk
What would she say to all us
Walking around below?

He called me beautiful
And I wouldn’t have believed him if not
For the hurt in his eyes when I laughed in his face

I have not prayed in a very long time
It’s not that I don’t try
Or that I don’t believe
I just can’t push it all out of my soul in words
“Words, words, words,
They do not reach me”
I do not know how
I want to
But I do not feel God
I pray in emotions
Because that’s all that I know
I can only hope that He understands.
“I stand dumb. As before a judge.
Dejected
Words, words, words. They do not reach me.
Nevermore.”      -Eric Maria Remarque, All quiet on the western front

I was so terrified
At my first kiss
I was his first too
He told me I was terrible

The second I only prefer
Not to mention
So sweet
What a shame

So when it came to you
I was petrified
The first time
Our lips touched

So deathly afraid
That I wouldn’t be
Enough/ good enough for you to stay
No one else did,

No one but you

My brother
He hides
Can’t handle
People

At my sisters wedding
He did his part
Then slipped away to
Hide in the dark

For holidays
He comes out of his room
He’ll sit,
If only for awhile

But soon
His smile starts to strain
Panic in his eyes
And he hides

I know he thinks
That no one cares
But brother dear
I do, and I understand
He never talks to anyone about his problems, and I worry, I want to help him and I don’t know how :(
