I wish it were still like that. I wish we stayed in bed until the sunrise and the birds began their day. We used to talk for hours on the rooftops of broken homes. One of them being mine. We lied upon the stars searching galaxies high and low for forgotten love. I was entranced in the way that you giggled and pointed at shooting stars. My wish was always you. I wished upon a shooting star that I could stay with you forever in the moment of hopeless love. The love we had as kids. At some point in time, the stars stopped shooting and the galaxies lost their shape for I sit alone on rooftops now and search for you but, you’ve never been found.
Remember when we'd watch the sunset?

By knowing your self worth, there will never come a day when you have to worry about the way they will treat you.
I hope there will be that day when you can be confident in your abilities and never once question if they’ll accept you for who you are.
Know you’re strong and know your presence is important no matter how they treat you and just then you’ll go a little bit farther in life.
- You’ll achieve your dreams I’m sure of it

You watch the sheets fall softly over her perfect body. You thought she looked beautiful. You ceresed her cheek and watched her hair fall over her shoulders. You thought she was soft. You gazed at her body when she danced in the mirror in the mornings.
You couldn’t help but be in love. But, you didn’t know that on the inside she was hurting. She was put together and perfect from the outside but on the inside she was broken and wondering.
She was wondering if she was good enough to be yours all along. You never told her, you always just assumed. She cried herself to sleep at night and worried for hours on end. You never asked her how she was doing. Her smile made her seem like she was doing alright.
- You never asked

And sometimes I lie awake at night with a feeling of loneliness but also a feeling of guilt for I feel as though I am a waste of space. I am a heavy burden with a fragile sign plastered on me. How could anyone love me for all that I am for I am too much to handle. I am too much for myself and I’m too much for others for i only take up space. I am a liability

I ate a peach the other day
It was delicious.
It reminded me of a summer day
Or a summer afternoon but,
Something of warm weather and fresh fruit.

I’m sorry I’m late. This thing called depression kept me from coming.

And sometimes it hits you when you least expect it. Like falling leaves but on an August day. It hits you and knocks you off balance but, you find a way back to reality. You find a way.

Sometimes it’ll hit us in our darkest hour when we needed it the least. You keep fighting. You are a fighter and he told you so. You knew you were strong before he made it known.

Some of us though, we don’t find the way. We don’t find a way to make it through. We struggle and overthink even the smallest thing. We’re sick from bareing the un cozy weather. Were sick of pushing back at the storm.

For the most of us who did make it, be strong for those who didn’t. For those who can’t. Because, the autum leave in the middle of August will hit you and you’ll realize that not everything is the way it seems.
