Am I still the first you think of
When your eyelids flutter awake
And the last on your mind till you drift away into deep sleep as always

I think of you still, especially at ungodly hours
Then it got to me that, has it ever been me at all

truth be told.

Scientists have discoverd
the same flexibiliy in thoughts
that leads to creativity;
can also lead in some individuals
to mental illness.

that feeling

Steph

that feeling

that feeling when you
blast music,
headphones in your ears.
that feeling when you
finally order that
subway sandwich,
all on your own.
that feeling when you
pass that test
or
talk to your crush
or even when you
are feeling really great
about yourself.
that feeling is magic,
when you feel it
you hold on to it tight
because it is so rare
to feel anything
similar to it.
and it is so easy
for someone to rip it away.
don't let anyone
take that from you.
you earned it.

Teenage Wasteland

Thinking Out Loud

Teenage Wasteland

The sweet smell of
         smoke rising
            eyes glossing
            mood swinging
        focus weaving
       attendance falling
development arresting
   high school dropping
in our country's acquiring
      *teenage wasteland

I'm sure I'm in the minority on this one, but I see it every day. One of the hardest parts of being a teacher.

Platonic Love

I want to love you
Until it breaks me
And until it hurts me.

I want to love you
And I don't mind
As long as it is you.

I want to love you
Forever, darling.

n.e

But I can't.
