Life can be symbolized in the
impossibility of chugging  
champagne from the bottle,
in the half-great, half-horrible scent
of cheap cologne. Life feels like
leaving 3am messages on your
ex’s home phone.

I feel the most alive in warm summer rain,

like when we were lining up jobs, stanzas

and *******.

Life is a small *******
with a Napoleon Complex.
Life is that one lover that takes things out
of context.
         "I am who I am, *******!"
Life is the fact that people can’t buy
Daraprim for what what the price is.
Life is ISIS,
who could ****
hundreds of thousands to
appease a God who
cannot hear them. Life
makes you scream with fury
until you’re purring with calm.
Sputtering like an engine,

until life is gone.
Laugh until you start to cry.
I assure you those tears can do magical things.
****. The sorrow finally disappears.
Continue to laugh until your stomach aches.
Did you know you are burning unwanted calories?
Laugh uncontrollably.
It is contagious and shows that you care.
Never stop laughing.
It is a lingo we all know too well.
Break the boundaries and laugh with me.
It will be a better day.

They say she has a
heart of gold.
Perhaps that is why,
when'er she dare show it...
They steal it away.
Barricaded walls, block my heart inside my ribs,
For when I gave my heart to you,
You moved it out of its place and made the red lines
Become coated in a farmiliar shade of blue.

I never knew love until we met,
I gave my heart to you
And over time my trusting heart,
Started to break in two.
Why don't you love me anymore baby?
I still love you.

I don't know what this feeling is but I know the side effects,

- suicidal thoughts
-chest pains
-tears
- a thousand times I miss you.
Hi, my name is anxiety! This is what I do to Hannah.

First, I love making her stomach clench up so that she feels like screaming! That’s the best way to start.  

Next, I start tensing up every muscle in her body so that she wants to throw a chair across the room. That’s so much fun!

After that, I make her cry. YAY! Runny mascara is a great look on her.

Then, I decide, hmm, why not make her want to disconnect from the world and hide under her bed all day? That sounds really relaxing and nice.

What happens next, you ask? Oh I make Hannah so angry and upset that she starts taking that anger out on the people around her.  They all deserve Hannah’s pain, right?

Ugh, I’m tired now. I guess I’ll just leave Hannah alone so that she can feel all my actions for another two to three hours.

Thanks for your time! Maybe I’ll come hang out with you soon! ;)

I can't bring myself to leave the place you stay  
so I sit just watching you watch her
and she is your pull
nothing more than a possibility
a maybe you hold onto
you wonder what she's doing
where she's going
when you enter a room your eyes find her space and you stay
maybe when it's over and the final page turns
you won't have her but
for now I'll fill this with words I'll never send
this is awful
As you pack my bags, Mom
Wrap an ounce of Faith too,
The One You have in me.
For there are times,
When you are not around.
There's dusk, twilight and
Gloom
And that innocent bud fears to
Bloom.
Darkness keenly creeps in
And sunshine witfully shys away.
Goodness faints and
Wickedness prevails.
I begin to stumble and fumble.
I (unfortunately) begin to resemble
All but myself.
Then I shall secretly open my bags
And cling on to that ounce of faith.
I tell you Mom...
I tell you, for sure
I will emerge a stronger being
That day
I will be myself
That day...
your touch doesnt feel the same
my skin ached for you but now its ashamed

how could i think we would be the same
we've lost everything that we ever became

i leave your room messy and half dressed
you kiss my cheek- i feel distressed

before i always left with feelings obsessed
now the thought of you is hard to digest-

They say that after 7 years, all the cells in your body are replaced

That fact is wrong...

but it's comforting to know skin cells are constantly being replaced;

and after a while I'd have skin *you've never touched
