they see my skin
and notice the red cracks,
but they don't know
that i've been through hell
and back.
and as for me,
i am lonely, but not alone.
we were just small children so we didn’t quite understand what father meant when he said

“mother is sad”

we continued our games and make believe stories and waited for mother to be happy

and when we were young, sad just meant someone stepped on your picture

or they ruined your sand castle


and in 2 seconds it was over

the deeper I fall into my depression I find my mother
I find her ghouls and her ghosts
her corpses

I find her dark eyes in my dark eyes every time I look in the mirror
and I find her hatred for everything, including me

I find new ways to torture myself
my mother

“you have your mothers eyes”


we also have the same disease

the only difference is, her demons won
mine don’t stand a chance
clouds casting shadows
on you and the one you love
a reason to smile

reading a good book
becoming the character
a reason to smile

sitting in silence
letting everything be still
a reason to smile
laying on her bed
laughing 'til your stomach hurts
a reason to smile

violins playing
fingers on the piano
a reason to smile

blasting indie pop
driving with the windows down
a reason to smile
walking through the woods
breathing in the crisp, cool air
a reason to smile

stars behind her eyes
her touch, like that of a rose
a reason to smile

weaving your fingers
through fairy lights in the dark
a reason to smile
He
He is the most hardest to talk to
He loves to eat all of his food
He only has friends that are cool
He loves playing basketball
He hate the idea of Fall
He exercise a lot
Never seen him fought
He is always quiet when he has nothing to say
One time, I thought he was gay
He gets depressed when there is no one to play
He is the reason why I smile all day
He is a tough cookie
Well, at least he's not a rookie
it's hard for him to just let anyone in
He is better off with just one friend
Love contradicts Fame

Love says I am satisfied
Fame asks for more.

Love says I have arrived home.
Fame seeks bigger home .

Love believes
Fame doubts .
Fame ~ transient
Love ~ eternal
