People could send words like knives my way and I would still find a way to laugh. You can't break me down, I'm so far off the ground. I have heard every word and insult in the book, but I still don't give a ****. No reason to be hurt by some *******'s words which are probably lies. I might be ugly or whatever people say, but still prettier than your ****** personalities and words of hate. Too happy to care about haters today, don't bother with me, I won't cry or tear up for a ******* ****.

venting...again.

Genuine Smile

Found an old friend of mine
Happy me is around again

Some friends are hard to replace
Maybe because they're meant to be yours?

Happier than most days
Life falling into place
For the first time
In a few years
There's a
Genuine smile
On my face

heart(beat)

Her heart is an
empty concave space
with nothing beating or
pumping
it's not red with blood and
vessels
instead it's in the palm of
her hand
pale and shrunken
and as much as she
wants it to pump
there's no energy to even
be herself
let alone
save her heart

omission

Missing someone is this
indescribably tormenting
and endlessly projecting
loneliness

It doesn't even make any
logical or empirical sense
because is an immeasurable
force

She reaches her arms out
like a young child trying
to grasp parental or sibling
love

Such missing occupies every
single crevice of her brain and
this hopeless romantic can't
let go

But secretly she likes the
missing and its accompanying
emotions because it means she is
feeling

Maybe even someone is
going to miss her the way
she misses them, wishing she was
there

To miss, is to
notice the loss or absence of
another, someone, something,
her

To miss, is to
miss her.
miss her.
miss her.

Be Grateful

Be Grateful

its so hard to believe
that I am alive
to hold on
and to smile
when I feel so small
I wish sometimes
I could have it all
but that would be too much
too much of a good thing
life is meant for
a bit of suffering
so we are grateful
for everything
that we own

we take for granted
the paths of stone
that we walk on
we complain about
the dimes in
our pockets
how they are
not dollars

we talk about
how we wear
no real gold
only silver
or platinum
or colored
gem stones

we feel so poor
but let's face it
as long as
we're wealthy
in health
nothing else
should matter

be grateful for the air
that you breathe
be grateful for the love
you have received
be grateful for the people
who are in your life
be grateful for
the small things
that make you smile

be grateful for...your heartbeat.
