Maybe now I'll see your insecurities
or perhaps your faking tactics
and superficial feelings.

Maybe I'll notice the marks
and wounds you leave behind
when your essence touches mine.

Maybe the sun will shine
even without your presence,
and the stars will grant my wish
to look past you.

Maybe I'll start functioning
independently and confidently,
without the little voice
(he's behind you, he's right there)
proving the hypersensitivity you
cause(d).

Maybe, but probably not.
Self pity is quite..
Irksome.
I know I'm being a downer,
But it's too hard not to be.
So I just end up being
that person.

You know the type;
The avoided, annoyingly sad
Person;
The person that knows exactly
How to **** the enjoyment
Out of others' lives.

It's as if unconsciously
I want everyone to feel as I do,
But trust me, I don't do it on
Purpose. I don't want to be
The downer any longer.

I want to be the life of the party.
The crazy and happy and witty person.
The one people like and enjoy.
Not the one that repels all these traits.

I promise, I've been trying
To be fun and sassy,
Open and playful,
Quirky yet Majestic-
But right now it all feels like an act.
Make believe, unreal, fake.

So I guess I'm stuck;
And in lieu of this, I cordially
Invite all those present to
My Pity Party.
One
I can stay here.
Just ask me to.
I will wait for you, dear,
Just say it, will you?
But first let me tell you something,
Don't worry everything is fine.
Please, don't look at me, I'm blushing.
Here it goes:
I hope you still know that you're mine,
And I'm yours, and we are one.

You have to fight for everything, even yourself.
Nothing was ever built for weak people.
But you are precious.
You are all the things I never believed in but happened anyway.
You are all the last thoughts of the last moments of someone's life. All I ask is that you always find your way home like you lose everything except for this.
Remember that wind is a language, like everything else, and every time you meet a new person you are discovering how to believe in people. And where we live, there is a lot of wind.
So in effect, I believe War is another way of saying I love something so much that I can't stop breaking whatever makes it sad.
And where we live, there is a lot of war.  
And courage is the form we take when we become someone else's second chance.
Remember that Earth is cold, that the world is a scary place to live, but ask yourself what the world is made of.
We all bleed the same amount, and we forget that if you ask for freedom then you have already lost it.
That sometimes running and leaving and going does not always take you somewhere else, and that in order to keep things, sometimes we have to lose them.

For the day of silence I'm observing today. Let's make some noise tomorrow.
