Don't write to please others
It won't be the truth anyway

Don't write to be edgy
If it means you don't even believe what you just said

Don't write to be popular
For popularity doesn't always mean quality

Don't try to write what you think someone wants to hear
Dare to be yourself

Letters in the sand
The ocean carried away
And never returned
Each
and every
accomplishment
begins with
a rather humble decision;
the willingness
to *try

some like to live an illusion
an image is a game to play
they wear a disguise under midnight skies
then hide from the light of day

The Thaumaturge
if I had a car
I'd crash it
just for a new excuse to be late
though no one really expects a reason
because I do it far too often these days
I suppose I can be excused on the grounds of apathy
but that always feels like a cop-out
since I doubt anyone else really cares either
but they're on time all the same
ending of this one feels kinda lame.

Dress to ****, don't show everything.
Pass smiles, be polite to everyone.
Keep your voice down, never to laugh out loud.
Eat a modest portion, and only one piece of cake.

Walk gracefully, poise in every move.
Sit up straight, legs daintily crossed.
Hold your wine glass by the stem, never by the bowl.
Take a sip by looking into, never over the glass.

There's nothing in the world like proper etiquette.
You can always tell a lady has good breeding
by how effortlessly classy she is.

Little girls may be made
of sugar, spice, and
everything nice

but a true lady is made
of diamonds, sparkles, and
things that will make you *shiver
Hopes are like hair ornaments.
Girls want to wear too many of them.
When they become old women
they look silly wearing even one.

We were and will always be soul mates and yet,
I need to stay as far away from you as possible.

she was like the stars
long dead: but her light still shined galaxies away.
