Love letters are just pretty lies and wishful thinking.

2. There's a difference between loving a person and loving the attention they give you.

3. Hearts are resilient

You deserve to be happy
You deserve that smile on your face
That smile that we don't get to see often
You deserve to get what you want,
what you desire

Don't apologize for what's in your heart
Don't apologize for what you want
Don't apologize for who you are

Have fun
Smile
Laugh
Love
Live
Fly

Oh dear self
You deserve it all
So take it
Without feeling sorry
Without feeling guilty
Just take it all
and be
*happy

No matter the level of drought

In the sky

There’s the occasional dewdrop



A little is better than none

None is none

So who wants none

When he can have it all?



Let tongues travel

Across the sea and back

Making me infamously famous

It is a starved plant which hears its stomach rumbling



Casting aspersions will do me no harm

You have to walk in these shoes to feel the heat

I can lie in wait for a river without water

But can’t be thirsty sitting close to a river overflowing

With no thought of the river offering to quench my thirst.

I wish that if no one was there for me, at least I would be there for nobody.
I wish that the absence of my presence is not felt (as it is not already) but that memories of me would be like blurry photographs burned away by hazy summers. And that I would be the outline of someone standing on a distant shore, those who walk on the bottom of the sea to reach me will only find plastic propped up by an advertisement for psychotherapy. I want to drift the world like a transient woman tied down only by an obsession to leave. I want to dance in midnight covered streets, damp with moonlight and dew, singing in the silent way of the quietly insane. I need to be alone on my couch in front of my t.v. ******* on artificially sweetened dreams. I need to breathe in the still air and learn to stop giving so many *****.

She strutted her stuff
through the courtroom lounge,
dressed to the nines,
she looked fine
all in black,
filled out her outfit
like it was designed just for her,
how she walked in those heels,
I'll never know.
But with such high maintenance,
I guess you can learn anything.

Have you seen?
How softly and slowly snow slides
on the massive mushroom mountains!

Have you seen?
How big beautiful balloons
beautify the splendid scene in the air!

Have you seen?
How reddish round bells ring
to wake up the weary walkers!

Have you seen?
How purple parrots prune pink apples
dangling from the drab and dusty boughs!

if not,
have a glipmse of me!
I am there to satisfy your senses!
