It's not like I like going out so much because I hate my family or because I'm headed down a bad path of drugs and party life, it's just that I like to forget how empty I feel and spend my life with people I enjoy and have a good time until it's too late.
Can't stop, won't stop.
I need to meet new people.
I need to meet people that are as down for me I am for them.
Let's do stupid things together like 'Dine and Dash' or lie to our parents, tell them we're sleeping over at each other's houses, and go on a road trip for the weekend.
Let's hop fences and do hoodlum things in the night and make up elaborate lies saying how, "No, it wasn't us who wrote 'Eat ****' in paint on your car."
And for God's sake, let's be there for each other, and genuinely concerned as if it was our own problem, and know there's something wrong before the other can even utter a whimper.
I want someone who I'm not afraid to call my best friend without the fear that they don't feel the same way.
I want someone who knows what I want,
I want someone who knows I write, who knows what my goals are,
What my favorite movie is and knows that this is a trick question because I don't have just one.
I want someone who knows I feel like this.
I want someone who can figure me out.
i hate to say that the reason i don't use the word "best friend" is because i have cliche walls up, it comes natural and taste like tar in my mouth.

Innocence, O’ heart of mine
I send to thee a tender kiss
Found within these words a’ rhyme
Flowing from my fingertips
~
Written soft, affection’s flare
O’ to touch your precious heart
O’er these words of love I share
Prayers that we shall never part
~
Bring thy smile to my gaze
Fill my life with joy divine
Within these words of love I pray
*Your love shall be forever mine

That which gives fragrance...

where does the fragrance go
when it rots...

Is my being...

an ecstatic sobriety
or
a sober drunkenness...

I wonder...

Suicide

When I finally admit
The existence of this pain which
Has been here since
God knows when,

I feel liberated.

I guess it was never being
Guilty of hurting you.

It was that
When I hurt you
I was hurting myself too.

It was suicide.

On the surface, all typical answers,

Stay in shape, and keep the weight off,

I enjoy, and love the competitive spirit,

I want to beat you at the finish line,
and then shake your hand,

I want to be your friend and wish you good luck

I want to stand next to you on the podium

But I run deep,

I run because I have to replenish the blood loss,
From the heart I keep cutting open,

I run because I hurt you,

I run because I broke so many promises,

I run from a past which haunts me,

I run like the wind needing to escape,

I run for my future,

I run for my life

It was a crisp fall morning
A full moon lit up the earth, the morning dew glistening brightly as the new day began
The sun started to peak out
Not a cloud in sight, just the blue haze covering the sky like a watercolor canvas
I sit by the window, hot tea in my hand, taking in the beauty around me....
Then the dream ended...
The nurse walked into the room
ready to take vitals, yet again...
I was brought back to the reality of my life, as I sit lifelessly in the wheelchair
Never shall I walk the beautiful earth again, the earth I took for granted for so many years
How I long for my body back, to stand, walk, run, love...  
I had it all, but didn't know it...
*In one second my life changed forever
One horrible night
Nothing will ever be the same
because of that one horrible night.

And I said
     So?
     Who cares if she's better
          you told me I'm the best
           and that's good enough for me
     Who cares if it isn't fair?
          you told me I was still the winner
          and that made it all the more worthwhile
     Who cares if I'm silly and even downright insane
          you'll love me anyway, right?
     Who the heck cares if I ***** up,
          tumble and fall
          or just come crumbling down

I was built and loved
      enough to stand up on my knees using my own two hands
      eventually, I'll be on my feet
      ready to fight again
And you know what?
    **I'm **** proud of that
I'm so sick of being compared.

Basements full of smoke,
Children growing old.
A candle burning through the night,
A little girl's soul, sold.

I'm aching in every part of my body
The day after it happened.
I'm trying to stay clear of him
But our paths keep overlapping.

I'm an addict,
And I don't really mind.
As long as I have my drugs,
And our bodies intertwined.

No, I don't love him.
I don't feel a thing.
He's fills my void
My numbness starts to sting.
