...most of the time. (sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCCCXCIII) Come, mischief pads about on four paws, tail Held high and twitching, as the cutest sense Of kittens looks for trouble. Grapes from hence Left out are ***** to chase, and leave sans bail Out in the walkway til sweet sticky'd trail Aught hope of finding. And how "innocence" Returns your query with no answer thence For all the little messes you'd bewail. There was a reason Mum said cats as twere Were best outdoors likeas the dog, the two On snowy mornings looking in like's poor To leave them out there, but the ancient crew Of orn'ments did not 'scape sweet mischief's tour Of duty as, of course, we'll swear "Mum knew." 17Dec25a

I Call It "Way Too Cute"
Cherry blonde girl, find my hand on your waist- and your sickly sweet smile carrying me to my untimely demise, just one more time.

i know what it means to be lonely and un-happy, i know, i know. Know. no. Act happy. i wish you’d hit me till i’m complete rock bottom broke. That’s why. Things are so fake and surreal it’s weird, it makes me feel alone, but reminds me I’m not the only one who’s empty suffocating in irony. People are stupid and awkward like thoughts. - i keep deleting myself because i'm stupid, but i want this to stay.

ignoring the worst seems best for now.
I used to mock couples for their PDA I used to sneer as they indulged in affectionate displays. Being self-sufficient was all I used to enjoy And then, one day, along came this boy... Just like that, I was completely enthralled Made a hypocrite by my own free-fall. Suddenly the world was primary and pastel Like every year I'd lived was drab gray scale. I was never the one to compliment a beautiful day Yet somehow the days are gorgeous now, sunshine or rain. I'm not the kind who bothers with smiles for smiling's sake But when I'm talking to him I'm smiling till my cheeks ache. I used to glare at all that PDA That one couple I just had to shoo away. They all still get the same treatment Though now it's because **** long distance. I'm jittery as though my blood is made of caffeine I'm grinning like I just swallowed a ******* sun beam I'm excited as though I just won the lottery Because this lovely boy has made a ******* fairy-tale of me.

A ******* Fairy-tale
Where are you off to? A pickup game inside a palm? Punishing heaven? Well why didn't I think of it? Perfectly absolutely incredibly perfect...kind of. Because John says excuse me every single time you poke him in the head. Because the lemon juice-making machine is frozen for now. Because I can't reach my grapes or my Florida anymore. So cheers to you. Cheers to your weekend gettaways and your Friday gettaways and your Thursday gettaways and your wens,tues,mondays gettaways They aren't here anymore. They've left. or you've compromised for Saturday Florida has made an appeal for mercy from the ghhhh grand jury. ...close enough.

i do not know why i am Such a broken ***** I cannot think of anything but my tomorrow and even my yesterday, and how I ****** so much so I will again I cannot hear you ask me if I'm okay, my heart beats in my ears, I am shaking so hard that I drop my juice and then I cry if even for a moment I am sure of something, I'm sure an angel has touched me I've got this much to do, and I say this as I Stretch out my arms and you copy me except You say you love me that big but I do not believe you so I shut you out because that is what I do I am that little girl who can't stop writing dreams on my skin or writing nightmares on my bones I wrote 'bitch, ****** ****** ******* fatty, freak!' on my bones (and my bones are breaking) even though a few had never been spoken to me, but I I could see them on lips that housed cigarettes and maybe *** and possibly alcohol. Lips that kissed pieces of bodies that should stay hidden until we're older. and all of these things, everything hurts and I'm doing everything wrong And I'm crying and I'm asleep because I'm anxious I'm afraid r.c.

anxious
i tried to look through your eyes today at me, me, the girl who trusted you, (who trusts you, maybe...) i saw a girl who sat, almost at your feet for God's sake, and let words pour out of my mouth like i was throwing up last nights dinner, because i hadn't eaten that night and i saw a girl who couldn't face the mirror, because she doesn't know how to act around strangers there was a girl who made me sad, made me wish i could take all the pain away i saw a girl who was constantly HIDING (no, i was just... okay, maybe i was hiding) in too big sweaters and buns, long sleeves and leggings dear GOD, its nearly 90 degrees outside, why are you wearing long sleeves? because she has squiggly ink on her arms she doesn't want you to see oh, oh but i figured it out she wears these things because she's hiding this is what you see- you see me, like nobody else ever has r.c.
