I've painted my nails black.
The color suits me well, I think It's my favorite.
It also happens to be very comforting..
I always thought I'd like him better if he wore
Black fingernail polish. Why didn't he?
The thought of that boy wearing black
Paint on his nails sends shivers down my spine.

What if I am not who I am supposed to be?
What if I grow up to be something that's not at all like you think?

I find that when I come here I feel at home or peaceful. I don't feel judged for the words I must type out on a page for they are more than just words to me.  
My social anxiety is not a handicap here and for that, I rejoice!
When I come here, I can lose my self in fine literature distracting me from
every thing that makes me want to end this thing called life.

Hey, Ole Sport. Nice to see your face again.
Life and love! Isn't it wonderful!? Strange too
I suppose. But you're still here.. Why? The ones
Who loved me the most, Daisy.. the ones from my
Parties. They left.. But not you.
Did you not love me? Or is it something else?
Should I finish it? Maybe I'll write a response poem.. Should I?

What's that term? Look how the tables have turned?
Yes, look! The seasons have changed my friend. That favorite
Tree of yours would have normally been surrounded by green
And brilliant, leaves.
But that tree now..  What overtakes its skinny, unhealthy
Arms are dull and lifeless and red and yellow shrivels of leaves.
Autumn, isn't he lovely?
