All of your life people will tell you to just go with the flow, handle things as they come to you and don't fight back what's given to you. But **** that. Go against everything you were taught. Don't wait for things to happen, make them happen. Resist the current and swim straight upstream. The opposite way of the abyss of bland faces. Cause a ruckus and mess things up. Love recklessly and live wildly. Never go with the flow. Create a beautiful world and turn it upside down. Pick up the pieces, only to throw them down again. Get off the floor and make things happen. Live your life with adrenaline and an untamable spirit. And I promise you, you will be happy.

Death is a funny thing. You know it's coming and you know it's inevitable, but you wish it wasn't. It's twisting and malicious and casts angry shadows among the light. It fills us with anguish and runs our veins cold. Death is a funny thing. You know it will happen eventually, but you live your life everyday anyway. And I think that's what it's all about. That's the loophole in death. Even though you know it's coming, you stare death in the face, fiercely, and let it know that it's not going to stop you. You're going to live your life every single day and you're going to soak up every moment and opportunity you have. Death cannot sink it's claws into you or tear you down. You are invincible.

Sprawled and etched underneath your delicate skin. Lines of blue and indigo travel up your forearms and push out adrenaline. Dark as ink, poisoning ones very soul. I trace the wicked lines with the very tips of my finger and you break out in shivers. The very lines that fascinate me, I want to make a home out of your veins. I want to be within your every being, I want to be the very thing that makes you feel alive.

If we are being honest here I never wanted to fall in love with you. I never wanted to wake up wanting you. I never wanted to skip a heartbeat when you walk by. I didn't want this. But somewhere along blurred lines of reality and in an abyss of emotion, I drunkenly fell for you. I told you I didn't want this in the beginning. But everyday, my heart grows warmer and my eyes open wider when you're around. I want to know what it feels like to hold your hand. What it's like to be the one you fall asleep next to and whisper "i love you" all night long in my ear. Please fall in love with me too. I want nothing more than to be what you want. Please don't go.

Over time you will learn
Your body is a temple
It is not a house of cards
You cannot set it on fire
You cannot push it over
You cannot destroy it
You must cherish your body
And all of it's imperfections
Because to someone else
Everything you hate about yourself
They are in love with
Your body is a home
You don't destroy your home
You decorate it
Start doing that now.

flower petals are falling from my eyes
they pool around my feet
and
ice cream drips from my fingertips
it pools around my feet
and
waves crash all around me
they pool around my feet
and
i think i'm drowning
