i woke up
looked at my calendar
looked away
looked back
where did september go?

You never
Get over someone
You learn to live
Without them
And accept the fact
That they are never coming back

In a year, I will not remember today
In ten years, I will not remember today
In twenty five years, I will not remember today
In fifty years, I will not remember today
But, I will always remember you

A little boy
Looked at the cuts on her wrists
She quickly crossed
Her arms behind her back
Tears entered his eyes
And he said
“My older sister used to have those, she forgot how to be happy”

We should not teach women how not to get *****
We should teach men to not ****
We should teach men to respect all women
Women do not ask to get *****
It does not matter
How they are dressed
How they are acting
Or how they interact with you
We need to start teaching men not to **** women
We should not have to teach women how not to get *****

I would rather do something I am afraid of doing
Than never do it and always wonder what could have happened
That is what we are here for, right?
That is what we are put on this earth for, right?
To do as much as we can while we can, right?
So throw away your fears
Light them on fire if you must
Or keep them on display in your bedroom
So you can laugh at them every single day
As you go out into the world
Fearlessly

Those who have
a hard exterior
Have been
In a war
Either with themselves
Or with someone else
They know what the gates of hell look like
Proceed with caution
Extreme caution
