What are the perks of speech?
My sound remains a low hum;
And tones make me numb,
Whilst noises bear signs of harm.
What are the perks of sound?
No speech may think twice,
No victory is vice, but wise—
Such tunes can hold sunrise.
What are the perks of light;
July has a chained melody,
And thus summer may not hear me,
Nor catch me close to the pear tree.
What are the perks of saying;
Out loud in grown daylight,
That reaches out not to the night,
Birthing only the skies, alight.
What are the perks of talking;
I am full of decayed words,
Alighted by unjust worlds,
That I can never be heard.
What are the perks of seeing;
Love slumbers in every part,
And resurrects until the last,
Enacted by a lonely heart.
What are the perks of living;
Dawning on me, but lies again;
All that is left is surging pain,
To die hard, to love in the rain.
What are the perks of breathing;
With a heartbeat made of pearls,
But that shall die for the world,
The fantasy and its dead sword.
What are the perks of beating;
I shall keep thee from life and death;
To hold thee close, to beget,
To be loved, to be glad.
What are the perks of chanting;
There is no gold like that of thee,
There is no poetry in that tree,
Gentle miseries soar in threes.
What are the perks of feeling;
The rose’s colour turns violet blue,
I am waiting for thy morning dew,
To writ today, to love anew.
What are the perks of love;
This dream of thee pains like a mist;
And all thy moves dance to my breeze;
I want thus, only to taste thy wrist.
My sound remains a low hum;
And tones make me numb,
Whilst noises bear signs of harm.
What are the perks of sound?
No speech may think twice,
No victory is vice, but wise—
Such tunes can hold sunrise.

Birthing only the skies, alight.

The perks of being a wallflower

It is in that golden beautiful moment,
when all is perfect.
Driving in a car without a care in the world
you and your lover.
Breathtaking city lights
The wind in our hair
Time slows down until it stops
Suddenly
we are in the middle of no where
just you and I
In the darkness
surrounded by the stars
getting lost into each other's eyes
brown so dark its black, pulling me in
your black soft hair
your creamy skin
your perfect eyebrows
your cute pointy nose
it all screams perfection
as if God took his time with you
perfectly drew you
with his paintbrush on his canvass
Then we finally meet halfway
our lips intertwine
in that very moment
we will feel at peace
living fully yet dead in each others arms
quiet but our love screams pure
our love so genuine
unconditional
After that moment, we face reality
you are leaving at 18 to the US
leaving me broken
taking half of me with you
We cant have what we want most
each other.
The perks of feeling everything so deeply
I get to cherish the moments
take in every feeling every impulse
engrave it in my soul
make it part of me
make it special
like you
the perks of playing with words
the perks of commanding ink onto paper
the perks of being soft, a kind heart
the perks of being a wallflower
when all is perfect.
Driving in a car without a care in the world
you and your lover.

been a while,
you know who you are.
you know who you are.

The perks of being depressed

Generally, when people talk about depression, it’s well, depressing. I am here to talk about all the great things that come along with depression!
The perks of being depressed
If youre anything like me, you’re overweight and have a terrible self image. If that’s the case, i have good news for you! Depression makes you not able to eat. Because of this, you can lose a bunch of weight! How convenient.

Hmmm...ah! My *** drive is at an all time low. This might seem bad but really, I no longer feel the urge to ******* ever so I have more time to do things like cry and sulk!
The perks of being depressed
Like most college kids, I do not get enough sleep! With depression, I can nap literally all day, and still be tired for bed a few hours later!
The perks of being depressed
Talking to people is such a chore. Thankfully, depression keeps me from reaching out to people and communicating. Now I can just put my headphones in and I don’t have to talk to anyone!
