do any of us actually know what we’re doing
or are we all bullshitting our way through life
young adults want to live while they’re young
but are pressured to figure their whole life out while they still have time

having dreams in your mind
leave you with daggers in your heart

i may not have tests or homework anymore
but life is a test enough alone

it’s hard to let something go when they’ve already taken it away from you

if you rush through life
only looking toward something inthe future
you’re going to find
that when that moment comes
the only thing you will feel
is regret

when i leave this earth
and everything i do is in vain
at least i helped with your pain
even if it was just for a day
you’ll never suffer alone

you are worth way more than their initial appraisal

being gay/trans/“abnormal” isn’t a disorder, but that kinda attitude sure is contagious

be who you are
love who you want
we’re all just feeling
the same thing called love

i leave your office feeling like i’m on top of the world
but then i feel the world on top of me

it’s hard to have a positive outlook on the future with depression
when that’s what i feel all the time

depression has taken away everything else important to me in my life so i have no choice but to write about it

find a passion to keep your days passing

don’t take what someone says to heart
their comment is nothing but an opinion
not a fact

life is too short to wish you were living someone else’s

though you many feel lonely
with what you’re feeling
you are never alone

your heart lies in the hands of the one you think about when you first wake up, and when you're laying down to go to sleep

she is afraid she is not enough, yet too much, all at once

i wish you loved yourself half as much as i love you

wait too long for a sign, and not only will time pass you by, but so will the moment you were searching for.

instead of watching the clock, wishing for time to pass, make the most of that time, you never know how long it will last

can i get a refund on life please
this **** was sweeter when i was younger

i hope you don’t relate to my poetry
because i hope you’re living a life
so beautifully unique
and unbelievably interesting
that none of my words
have meaning to you

there’s a hole in my heart
but what does it need?
i’ve tried drinking, juuling, ***, and smoking ****
whenever i felt this way you were always there
but now thanks to you it’s why i need repaired

the more memories in my head that become unrepressed
the more i realize that i’m blessed
it took a lot to get me here
and the end is nowhere near
because life is a journey, not a race
i’m so grateful to be in this place
and i tell myself
it could always be worse

working in retail isn’t as bad as it seems
it’s just certain people
act a certain way
and make it so difficult
but the people are the ones
that control how your day goes
but you can’t even control
how their day goes
besides one single interaction

there’s million broken thoughts
behind that forced smile
there’s a million broken silent screams
behind that forced laugh

tell me why everyone has to hide it
when we’re all feeling the same thing
i promise i understand what you’re going through
we’re all feeling the same thing

perhaps the reason i play sims
is i’m convinced that it’s the only way i’ll be able to experience a life
other than the one i have now

you only realize how much you love something when it's gone. when everything you know is swept out from underneath you. you only miss the sun when it's cloudy, and the stars when it's daytime. you only really appreciate something when it's gone. her arms are the anchor keeping you from floating away from this ball of rock, the magnet that always attracts, and never repel you. my mental health is nearly diminished, perhaps i'll start appreciating that more when it's gone. i appreciate you, though you are not yet gone, i am out of my mind, be back momentarily.

either i have butter fingers
or happiness is coated in butter
because i can’t seem
to hold on to it

i think what’s wrong with
society and laws
is we’re trained when driving
that yellow lines
are the only things
that separate
safety
and a fatality
what’s holding someone back
from causing a homicide

when i look at you now
now it’s different than i did then
we said we were in love
well then what am i in now?

i know i’ll never be able
to change your mind
but can you just believe when i say
i’m not myself when you’re mine

what i’m saying here is
your opinion of me when we’re together
is greatly different when we’re apart
should’ve known that from the start

now these days when i see you
it’s never rent free in my brain anymore
and although my heart still feels sore
it’s not from you ******* with it anymore

she's a bit of a dreamer
yet she's wide awake
so a daydreamer
except her mind comes alive at night
with her head among the stars
so blinding yet such a beauty
such a spacey girl
such a pretty mind
tainted by the thoughts
of people with minds
smaller than hers

at first it was your appearance
that i was attracted to
because i didn’t know much else
about you
then at the fair
finally got to know you
you were so shy
and i don’t think you knew
i wanted to make you mine
as months go by
and i fall more for you
i realize you’re so much more
than that quiet girl under that bridge
that i wanted to make laugh
just to see her smile
no-
i’ve fallen for the time we share
the memories we’ve made
and the girl
i never thought
was ever gay

i’ve realized why you still leave me so speechless
it’s because my vocabulary has never found anything so deserving of such amazing words

she was so good as holding others together
the world would probably crumble at their feet
should she not continue
gluing together their pieces
as though it’s her job

i never did fully appreciate the stars until i met you. but that's just the thing, they were always there. just like you. i just didn't look hard enough. you're something i didn't know i needed. now that i have you, i've learned to find the beauty every little thing. like the stars. they're beautiful, and they're always there once the sun falls, a lot like how i've fallen for you.

the stars are resemblant of life itself
sometimes they're bright
and shining
like the good days
and sometimes it's cloudy
and their beauty is masked
like the bad days
but all you have to remember
is that underneath it all
is that the stars are still there
stars keep shining
life goes on
you just have to look forward
to the stars shining

you make me feel young
even though my heart grows old
and tired
and weak
over years of taking a beating
you
the patient surgeon
took it in
and with steady hands
you mended it up
and stitched the wound
i never thought you
nor anyone
could

there’s been too many times before this

where i say i’ll change and you adore it

but now i’m just trying to not think about you anymore

while still hoping you’ll walk through the door

you curse yourself
for not staying strong
but you don't take the time
to remember how long you've been standing
because even the strongest of walls have their weak points
and the toughest of superheroes
have their kryptonite
the sturdiest of foundations have their cracks
it's just a matter of time
before you crumble down
after staying strong
for so long

summer love you set me free
summer love that is good enough for me
summer love with leaves now falling from the trees
summer love please stay with me

summer love as the leaves turn different shades
summer love don't leave me, though i'm afraid
summer love hold me these chilly nights
summer love tell me it's going to be alright

take me back to those days at the fairground
where it was like our own playground
where your smile seemed to wrap around me
and in your arms i felt safe and sound
take me back to when we weren't so stressed
when we didn't have to worry about time
when we knew we would see each other the next day
and i didn't have a reason to say i miss you

how come when i have a thought so powerful and it makes me feel happy
i can’t hold on to it
but when i have a thought so devastating and it makes me sad
it stays in my mind all the **** time

here i am rising
up the chain lift
and for a split second
i’m on top of the world
i can see everything clearly
and as soon as it began
i come crashing down
so fast
it could give me whiplash
everything moving in a blur
and the feeling makes me ill
so i’m stuck riding
this endless rollercoaster
and you’d think i’d be used to it
by now
but hey
at least i’m living

we could all be a teacher
we’re all wise about something
taught lessons we didn’t ask for
as we make our way through life
and we can teach people going through
similar things
what we learned from those lessons
we’re all just naive students and teachers
in this school called life
that have learned so much
and have so much to tell about
yet have so much to learn

it is the worst feeling
people still having faith in you
when you've given up on yourself
people believing in you
when you don't believe in yourself
it is the worst feeling
people still caring about you
when you couldn't care less about yourself
people asking for help
when most nights you can't even help yourself

i look around this town
and see the places i've spent hours with you
it all started at that fairground
in our own little world
laughing until the sun goes down

and as i see these places
i find myself smiling
because there is nothing to do in this town
but we always manage
to make something out of nothing

and as long as i have you
i have everything
in this boring old town

it’s possible to know what someone’s going through
but impossible to know
their exact feelings and emotions

why are the only fun things in life bad for you or illegal
