#missingout
play your cards right and shoot yourself with a nerf gun for laughs. those cake crumbs and half-empty sprite cans won't last forever but those videos on the internet will. you were there tonight. (the party.) and i will be there tomorrow. (the films.) i was cleaning the house and writing the book will you be doing the homework and raking the leaves? am i missing out? are you missing out? is shooting yourself in the head ever fun? is disappearing in a horror film ever fun? is this feeling of the in-between the missing out on parties put on by people you aren't friends with is the wondering when you'll come home is the questioning when you'll text back is the adrenaline for when we'll realize ever ever fun?

dear november sweet sixteen
My biggest fear was My loved ones, passing, dying I guess it’s because Being lonely is mortifying That was such a mindful Thing to be scared of Like I am forgetful But I never forget love Yet now I am afeared Frightened maybe They cheered I didn’t see I missed out I feel scared, but also mad That’s what this is about I am so afraid, it makes me sad It’s so selfish My biggest wish is to be happy I want to distinguish The world not being ****** And one of my deepest fears Is ending up like you My eyes filled with tears Not knowing what to do.

I don’t wanna miss out.
I love all of you girls, I watched you all fall in love Met your partners Cheered at your weddings. I love all of you girls, The fancy jobs you have The places you go to Smiled at the pictures. I love all of you girls, As I sit here Alone at café Thinking about the time when It was easier, simpler and just us I love all of you girls, I hold your pain with dignity Life seems silly when you are around I guess, I missed out You all caught the train When I walked along.

He left and missed    Changed me Now I'm finally free    Deleted every trace of him He is finally gone    Gone for life "You made my heart break     And that made who I am" He's missing out bad     So sad too bad Missing out, that sick *******

Missing Out
I hate it. I hate that we're a generation that's caught up with our devices. Eyes on the screen, incase you miss out. Keep scrolling, incase you miss out. Keep tagging, incase you miss out. Keep tweeting, incase you miss out. Keep posting, incase you miss out. Yet, here I am. In front of a laptop. Making sure I don't miss out-- about writing about missing out.

Black Mirror
Confident, strong. What could go wrong? Typed in some numbers, letters, words. Brought me away into some place far away. Sitting on the stool. Heart and mind. Into the electric pendelum. Growing cold. Your voice through a blocked megaphone. Echoing softly in my mind. But I soon went away from home. Built walls made more than stones. I ignored your call, that should'nt be the case. I shouldn't be ignoring you warnings. Building immediate walls when I hear you? That's alarming...

Immediate walls.
Fathers are supposed to protect you Be there for you But mine seems to think I'll ruin his life The coward is still afraid of responsiblity even though its been sixteen years since he knocked up my mum. He has three other kids you know One whom died not so long ago One who he also ditched at birth but he sees her now And a tiny wee baby called Riley I don't want to see that **** But I'd do anything to meet that wee baby I've seen photos and hes grown sooo much And im glad that coward didn't run out on Riley because that baby deserves a father as much as the next person. Hope to meet you one day little one ♥

Riley
*and you said, I don't care about you. I have no problem, I just don't care about your existence anymore. nothing personal, and now I understand, no one will stick around for you. even those who love you. and you just have to let them fly away, like butterflies you wanted to take.*
