I paid for my father's day present with a twenty dollar bill that still had traces of ******* on it from the previous night's festivities

A pretty girl with blonde hair got a text from her dad while we were doing lines off of her phone (i love you angel, you make me so proud)

happy father's day to all the dads who have no idea what their children are actually up to
-
When you look up at the sky,
the moon herself blushes,
for the light in your eyes
shines brighter than hers.
Oh my word, did I really just get that mushy? Yeah, I guess I did. C:
A sigh on my lips,
a crick in my neck,
and still I can’t get
my emotions in check.

A young thudding heart,
a wide winning grin,
and still I can’t say
if you should come in.
There are a lot of things we should stop, and even more things we should start doing.
If I walked away the day I met you,
it would still be
too late.
to love you is to breathe, even when the weight of a thousand wars have moved their fight inside my chest.

Maybe God has a plan for me
but she sells me out like my skin's for free

What if you never became a butterfly, living your whole life only existing within a cocoon?
"You don't understand"
Said her friend with her broken heart.

"You don't understand"
Her dad sighed, begging for a new start.

"You don't understand"
Screamed her boyfriend, his wrists bleeding red.

"You don't understand"
Cried her sister with the voices in her head.

"You don't understand"
Glared the boy, bullied because he was gay.

"but I do understand"
Because I am not okay.

"I understand"
I have a broken heart too.

"I understand"
I need a new start, but you have no clue.

"I understand"
My wrists have bled, my family isn't very kind.

"I understand"
The voices scream and yell throughout my mind.

"I understand"
I am bullied almost everyday.

"I understand"*
Because I am not okay.
Mirror, Mirror,* on my wall,
I just want to be thin, pretty and tall.

Mirror, Mirror, if I change my hair,
Maybe someone will start to care?

Mirror, Mirror, if I starve myself,
At least I’ll be beautiful, forget my health.

Mirror, Mirror, if I cut my wrist,
Will I feel like I exist?

Mirror, Mirror, don’t you see?
What you show, is ruining me.
Why do I constantly hate what I see?
