Writing myself encouraging notes for the morning, knowing I'll need them to get through the day;
Is it crazy to talk to yourself in 3rd person through means of ink?
I've been finding myself more neurotic than usual.
Lists and notes help.
I swear it's not a self esteem issue,
I assure you of my confidence,
But I just cannot seem to figure out why it is I've sparked interest in so many intricate and spectacular people.
I've come upon so many outstanding friendships.
Sometimes, I'll admit, I forget to remember the vast support system I've found myself immersed in.
I have the ability to soar through the day, wearing a crooked smile, my personal notes in pockets, and friendship in my heart.
I must only remember not to forget.

I need feminism
because men are more upset about people saying "all men"
than they are about the fact that 1 in 4 women will be ***** in their lifetime.

Not harassed, not catcalled,
*****
And that is not okay.

I need feminism because out of the four women
I speak to everyday
two of them have been *****
and all four of them can't walk to their car
without sticking their keys through their fingers to
feel the slightest inclination of safety.

I need feminism
because the other day in my math class
a student said "She was asking for it"
and the teacher agreed.  

I need feminism
because when my father wasn't drinking
he was telling me to be a man.

I need feminism
because the way my father taught me to treat women
was to get them drunk.
It's not his fault,
he knew no better.

I need feminism
because my father knew no better.

Reach out
and feel nothing
where everything
used to hide

lately its been raining off and on very suddenly. I wish you would come to me as often os the rain

Keep giving.
Give so much of yourself,
That when they have your funeral,
There is no more of you left.
You would have used up everything you had
By giving life your all,
And your casket will be empty.
And there would be nothing left to mourn for,
Except the memories that had yet to be made.

some look at me like I am an alien
and I realise
In their minds I am alienated

I cannot fight life
to live a life
given
This one life
this one time
to live
Before death
has its
turn
has its
mysterious
say
In this life
this one time
Given
