i keep thinking about the way
your fingers don't leave bruises on
my hips the way they used do

when did you stop trying to hold
on so tight? when did you stop
trying?

"Not all sad poets
who died
are buried

Not all those
who lived
ever existed"
Emily Urban Sep 2015
I was thinking today about my struggles and realized that grades don't define who you are at all, yeah they might boost your future but in the long run they don't do ****, we're only put in school for the systems sake, from long restless nights of homework to studying in class with obnoxious teenagers, school is a way for the government to keep track of all these broken souls trying to get by, they want to know what we learn by taking tests? What's the point if we can't regurgitate what we learn on a test? You're all a sudden worthless? **** that.. take a deep breath, we're not here for an outstanding GPA.. they just "want to know what we've learned" so let them have it and let yourself be done.

At night I close my eyes and think of how little I matter.

the sound of your voice
reminds me of an ice cube
cracking against water's touch
maybe it's because
your soul is frozen
and your words are cold

Us
It was supposed to be us against the world but now it's just me against myself and it ******* hurts to breathe
Emily Urban Sep 2015
It's so simple; nothing on this god forsaken bouncy ball can save us, except for those who make us believe we're breathing
