I don't care about getting it right anymore
Give it to me all wrong
I'll take it
I don't need to be the bigger person anymore
Shrink me down to size
I'll be it
I don't wanna feel special
I just wanna feel good
I don't mind my imperfect teeth
I just want a reason to show them
Don't change a thing about those crooked bones
Just lay them over mine
Don't shed a tear from those awkward eyes
Just focus them on mine

I said I'd love you until death due us part
But I swear I've been dying every day
since the first time I saw you and I
still love you more than a punk show
or a cigarette; a warm hazelnut coffee
or a fresh tattoo.

I said I'd write about you until my fingers break
But I swear I don't have to
Your voice is my favorite poem
It sounds like beauty
And tastes like pain

boys: it's okay to
cry // girls: it is okay to
hold them when they do

iv.
i lost some of the
pieces, but that doesn't mean
i can't make new ones.

v.
faith is stepping out
onto nothing and landing
on something *perfect
i don't even care if this is good or not.

braving the thunder was
nothing
compared to braving the
lightning beneath your
fingertips.
because i made a friend at camp. that i really like.  a lot.
and we sat just outside the dining hall together trying to escape the rain and i almost fell asleep beside him and he just sat there and rubbed circles on my back and stroked my hair and it was the cutest thing ever fjdkalfsda.  he's just the greatest; i don't even care what we end up being, as long as i have him in my life.  i suffer from severe anxiety and abandonment issues and i was scared at first to let myself *actually* care about somebody new but i honestly have never been so comfortable around somebody so fast in my life.  he's really something
