when your ex texts you in the middle of the night, "wanna come over?"
tell him
"go **** yourself"
and when the boy who turned you down three years ago because you weren't pretty enough tries to get in your pants, tell him to **** a ****
when the girl you were best friends with in second grade is now too cool for you, tell her that you never liked her anyway
when your mother tells you that you look fat in that outfit, tell her that it's the new trend.
when your father lays a hand on you, call the cops.
when your boyfriend cheats on you, leave him.
when life bites, bite back.

be your own hero, and your own biggest fan. respect yourself. you are worth so much more

I hate you so much
I hate how much you think you love me
I hate that you pretend to care
I hate you and your big brown eyes, I even hate your curly black hair
I hate the way you have to try to make me fall for you

But the things I hate most
Is how you don't think you love me, you know
Is how you're not pretending, you don't put on a show
I hate how you care so much
I hate the look you give me ,with those big brown eyes
I hate your perfect curls, and how you aren't like most guys
I hate that you don't try to make me fall, you just let it happen
I hate that you look down at me,
God I hate that you're so tall

but what I really hate is that I don't hate you not even at all ..
I couldn't hate you even if you lied
Because when you aren't with me I just want to die
I couldn't hate you, not even a little bit
but what you don't know is that my heart will never quit
saying I hate you... but I mean just the opposite.

The talk
that gets us nowhere
except the joy of hearing your own voice speak.
The stifling circles of meaningless rambling
justifying the normality of strange and stuttering minds.
Please hear and see me.
I am guilty of this.
But the silence punctuated by the most simple and profound truth.
Speak that

and no other words.

pushing...
it....
me......

Will someone just hold me close
Because I have never felt this weak
I have never felt this small
I have never wanted to
Run and hide
So badly.

As i walked the shore at morning tide a shining pebble caught my eye the sun awakened the morning view i looked to see that sparkling gem was you

i want to be alone
so please don't pick up the phone.

i love you but i just need time to breathe
trust me please.

i ask that you put your love on hold, only for a second or two
i promise you, my heart will always be yours to keep.
