Can I flip my skin inside out? I doubt my rotten heart is any more hideous than my outside people only look out of curiosity and fear it’s a joke, truly, that you thought anyone would love you my dear I hope after it’s over I can shed my skin and reveal my rusted core beneath

hideous 🖤
As teachers, (and I know some are back already, sorry) we are doing the equivalent of sportsfolk psyching up Our judo coach is shaking and slapping while we, in denial, are still mowing lawns and planning actual meals from recipes In our dreams, the Bueller…? Bueller…? Bueller…? reels are already playing with our classes disobeying to our faces So for everyone’s sake ease us in please keep us keen and we’ll deal with your progeny ‘til Halloween

Back to the front
I guess it could go either way, right? I stand in the middle of two evils they both lead to my demise, but i cant seem to see that i always believed that i paved the roads i walked on. must be why the only thing ahead of me is the backroads. it seems i've made it to an impasse

stuck yet again
Red and white vivid The colours swirl together Down the kitchen drain

Drain - Haiku
The warmth from your sweater, Chills me I Love it! The warmth from your sweater,, Gives me comfort Persist It! The sound of your voice, Makes me Feel Safe I'm surrounded! When you touch me, I feel As if a Lightning Struck Me Do it again! When you breath down my neck, I feel bliss Don't stop! Everything about you, Either envies me Annoys Me Tears Me Lights Up my Day, I love You!

I Love you!
I'm afraid because I saw you again for the first time in months I tried not to think about all the **** you said all the things you promised and that month where we were inseparable friends nothing more; exactly what I needed I thought it was going fine we didn't talk to each other the whole time but then I saw something I can't get out of my head it's been a week and a few days and the image of the fresh red lines on your wrists is burned into my eyelids and every time I blink my stomach drops and when I try to fall asleep my heart climbs up and lodges itself in my throat making it so hard to breathe you did some ****** up things to me and I'm not someone who can just stop caring especially when it's you and when there's nothing I can do you probably wouldn't listen to me anyway which is funny because I haven't done anything wrong to you which is funny because I shouldn't give two ***** about you but I'm me, so I do I try to reach you quietly in a way where you won't know who I am because I'm not trying to start **** I just want you to be okay well **** why can't you just be safe
