You said I have a heart of gold
Is that why you’ve tried so hard
To take it?
Because you want it for yourself
You can’t stand to see it shining,
Can you?
You want what you don’t have
But you offer nothing in return
Except lies
You hide away your true self
Even as I give freely of mine
Well I’ll tell you what
This heart of gold
Isn’t for you to take
I won’t let you steal it from me
And leave me aching
I’d rather save it for someone
Who wants to share in the wealth
Instead of robbing me blind

I love you so very much,
Even though at times I do things that hurt.
I try so hard to hope that you always see
How much you being in my life means to me.
I am sorry yet again for causing you pain.
That is the last thing I ever wanted to do.
Even when I am trying to look out for you and do the right thing,
I mess up, I am sorry for that too.
I hope that you still know how much I love and cherish you,
Like nothing else in my life gives me the thrill of being loved by you.
So I hope that you listen and see it in my eyes,
This sincere apology that comes with tears from deep inside.

roses are dead, violets are too. I'm still in love but not with you. you thought you hurt me and made me cry, but now I'm talking to this brand new guy. simply because you have no class, you can go ahead and kiss my ***. so sit around and talk your ****. ***** you and your little *** ****. Do you think you can do better? cool story bro. I hope you get ******, from your little new ***. you said you loved me but it wasn't true. well guess what sweetheart, I played you too

I spent three weeks in a mental hospital and what I discovered there I feel like should be put into words...


we are not who we think we are.
the boy with turrets told the funniest jokes
the girl who rakes her nails up and down her skin could create the most exquisite drawings
the girl who abused drugs had the wisest soul
the boy with schizophrenia had the biggest heart
the girl who tried to **** her self told the boy with insomnia stories to help lure him to sleep.
the boy who wanted to **** himself had the deepest passion for cooking.
the girl with slits and scars all over her body dried my tears and told me I was beautiful
the boy with anger issues gave the warmest hugs
the girl with bulimia told everyone every day that they looked beautiful in their bodies.
the boy who was a compulsive liar told us that he wanted us all the get better and that he was for once, telling the truth.
the girl who almost drank herself to death stood up for everyone that felt they were feeling bullied.
the boy with severe social anxiety made sure nobody sat alone at meals.

we are not who you think we are...

you know something is wrong with our schooling system if they give us an entire week off and kids are still miserable about going back... it's to the point where they can't even say its because we're lazy. maybe its because we have teachers that genuinely don't care if we pass or fail, we have those teachers that teach just to give us a test and if we fail, it's automatically our fault for not studying or working hard enough. the students just treat each other like crap and judge one another, and the only time we ever seem to care about one another is when something tragic happens... we don't hate school cause we're lazy, we hate school because of its a horrible environment with ****** people. why would we want to do something every single day that just makes us miserable?
