Just made a rookie mistake
And a bit of a big one at that

Please for another chance
To step up to the bat.
Listen
Listen, up girl.
Listen, up girl.
Cause all these words are true.

If I lose it all?
I still have you.
If I stumble, crash snd fall?
I still have you.

If I wealthy and lost all my money?
I know I will still have you in my corner.
You always be my strongest supporter.

So if I lose it all?
I still have you.

Oh, If I lose it all?

The materialistic thing doesn't mean a thing.
But having your love(to me)means everything.
Perhaps that's the point of it all,
the mate of the soul,
they cannot be two feet down
and smothered in endless
concrete, but instead they
must be made of words untrue,
a lapse of perfect fiction,
for when they come to flesh
and blood, your eyes can't
seem to breathe and your
heart leaps and leaps.

I've been losing sleep
I think I'm in way too deep
Pull me out
And when I scream it doesn't make a sound
Dear anyone
How can I love you and not love myself?
The fire burns but I still love the smell
Would you hate me if I went to hell?
Dear anyone
Do you ever read something you wrote when you were little and you just really wanna die a little because you were so cheesy?

Me at age 11: " I am a sea of feelings. I am an emocean."
Once I was 11 years old......
I will spread dirt into every crevice of my broken heart and plant flowers so big and beautiful, that their roots will mend all the shattered pieces back together, and you’ll never be able to see the mess I used to be.
i found
two old leather journals while cleaning out my old pick-up truck
yesterday

i can't wait
to read the parchment and listen to all
of the things that my heart had once to say

my heart,
it always
listens then
speaks

i swear
at times,
like tears,

i see those
old leather
journals leak

i'd love to
dust them off
down by the
old river
today

sink into
my captain's chair
and allow
my heart
some time
to play
I will stop hurting myself now. Life has been giving me too much to be stressed about, it's been hard these days; so I decided not to be the one punishing myself more. I am my best comrade, I shouldn't be mad towards my own being why I am going through sadness. I will take it easy from now on, since life won't do it for me.
you need a certain amount of magical thinking
to penetrate the reality of the world
but just enough
to inform the development of your technology
and empirical studies
and no more

this is a challenge
which is why there is such a fine line
between nutcase
and genius

How do I express,
To the people I love most,
That the emptiness I feel
is no fault but my own?
