Someone May 2014
I always though that it was strange
For people to say that someone could never love them.
Because I wonder if that really is the case
Or if it's just that the other person won't give it a shot
So you feel hopeless.
Helpless.
Lonely.
Lost.

I can't.

I can't make these words flutter out of me like butterflies from a caged soul.

I can't make them trickle out of me like water falling from a leaf after the rain.

I can't command the words to leave me, when they would rather stay inside.

But sometimes you have to make them.
'
You have to speak out and be your own voice.

But don't let these words out for people who do not want them spoken.

Let them out for yourself.

Let them out because they make your bones and body ache.

Let them out because your soul screams the words inside of you until you feel ready to pop!

But let them out when you are ready.

Because you can not make them flutter out of you like butterflies from a caged soul.

You can not make them trickle out of you like water falling from a leaf after the rain.

And you can't command the words to leave until they are ready.

you are
outstanding and
unique, a work of

art. You are as
radiant as the sun, your beauty is
enchanting, and you are

lovelier than any
orchid or lily or tulip or rose or
violet, and
even though you might not see yourself as such, you are a
d**iamond, you are beautiful, and you are loved.
For all of you.

nakedness is not just the absence of clothes.
be naked with your soul.

I'm eighteen years old and I don't understand ***.

I don't understand how people undervalue the thing that is literally one of the most important actions in this life.

You shouldn't bare your body, if you aren't willing to bare your soul. You should be comfortable naked.

And by naked, I mean, you should be okay with telling them all the reasons you hate yourself and let them tell you it's okay. You should be naked with the fact that your family hurt you and you grew up feeling lonely.

Be naked because you grew up with so, so many saddening secrets and now you find it so, so difficult to be naked with your soul.

I am trying to be naked
and I struggle with openness.

There is no point taking your clothes off to only hold the weight of life on your chest.

It breaks my heart to hear stories of friends that haven't grasped this concept. They're too embarrassed to share their secrets and the first time they made 'love' they wore a t-shirt.

don't miss out on the best things in life, get naked.

melodie foley
Because life is hard, baby
And if you get it all down in writing
You'll never forget the lessons learned

You do not know me,
so you think I am strong.
You do not know me,
so it won't take very long.
Because you see
like most things
under pressure,
I also tend to break.

It's strange really.
How the internet can connect people in so many different ways.
I could meet someone from Brazil
Or Canada
Or Ireland
Or the UK.
Or any other place in the world.

You might find them because of a common interest,
A shared perspective,
Or most likely a random meeting
Where you both seemed to just...

You get to know these people.
You let them in.
You let some of them learn to darkest and deepest parts of you.
They might even know more about you then your actual friends.
But why?

One day they might not be there anymore.
One day they might leave without saying anything to you and never come back.
They might not be who they say they are.
They might have just lied about everything.

But we still let them in.

We still believe and trust in these people that we have never met in person.
We know that they have seen our inner souls,
And for them to just leave?
It takes something away from you.

Then you wonder,
Did they ever really care at all when you saw the inner parts of them?
Or were those just lies too.

But still,
You might continue to trust another.
Just be careful what you tell each other.
Be careful when you let your guard down.
You don't know who is on the other side of that computer...
