I used to write
My secrets in the sand,
Knowing they would never stay
Long enough to be told.

I used to just swim,
pulled my hair up and never
Really tasted the salt that foamed
After the crash.

I've ran in the sand,
Sure, but never have I
Ever let it smooth my
Skin into what it could be.

Before today, I've never
Let the current take me
Under and feel what it's like
To always come back to something.

queen of hearts
your love runs dry
it always rains
you’re the reason
for my worst days
the blues I choose
the shades of gray
you paint the sky
on my darkest days
I hate you most
but I hate the way
you’re still the sun
on my perfect days

I know nothing worthwhile
Comes without sorrow in life
As I try to do what’s right
I know the line is blurred, so I fight
My feeling dissipate to black and white

You heard the lies and said your goodbyes
You often cry, others your numb at times
But deep down inside you know
The butterflies just died

Easily slipping to that dangerous place
I know I can’t quickly or easily escape
Feeling weak, but I know it’s all me
Being stubborn got me there to begin
I respect that, but getting out is difficult

You heard the lies and said your goodbyes
You often cry, others your numb at times
But deep down inside you know
The butterflies just died

I won’t let go of the good to the bad again
But if it’s been too long, please come searching

You heard the lies and said your goodbyes
You often cry, others your numb at times
But deep down inside you know
The butterflies just died

for the first time in my life
i'm motivated to do well
to be better
to make a name for myself
to live a life full of purpose
and i'm so ready
to start the next chapter

i hate growing up in an age
where it's normal to constantly put yourself down
and make a joke out of it.

anxiety is romanticized
like it's somehow "cool"
to struggle with a mental illness.

if you don't hate yourself,
it's unusual.
they tell you to stop being so full of yourself.

i'm really trying to love myself.
i didn't know it would be this hard.
my mind keeps insisting i'm not
good enough for this world.

so the only thing i can rely on is
the hope of a brighter future
away from the place i'm in now.

far, far away.

My death will be liberating.

And I do not say that in the sense
that I am going to find a cliff
and take a good jump off.

No.

I am just trying to find a
clever way to tell you

that I do not know what is going
to happen next.

You see,

there is a
fine line
between
dreaming and
mortality

and

I am finding out for myself
that being in love
does not always
involve

being awake.

And for my sake
I fall in love with daydreams,
nightmares,
hazy realities
and

the hung-over idea

of not being enough.

It is all out of my hands.
                 It is all out of time.

And the only thing I have left to do,
now,


is decide.
Thank you to anyone that reads this.

kiss me in your backseat
like nothing has ever been like this before
'cause you kiss like a promise
like you have never wanted anything more
than me

and just maybe, i'm crazy about you baby
and i guess it's a mess but i've always loved messy
things

and with your lips on my neck, i feel like the best is yet to come
and with my heart on my sleeve, i hope you can see it beats like a drum

and i'm wrapped around your finger and my gaze might just linger on your face
and i can't help but notice what we've made of this moment in this place

is beautiful
you're beautiful.

in the streetlights, with your brown eyes looking into my heart
hold me tighter, with your bright lights lighting up the dark
you're lighting up
i wanna give you wild love, the kind that never slows down
