Thank you for being
There for me when I was not
Myself anymore

Thank you mom, I know I do not say those two words enough, but my life is the way it is because you helped me up when i was at my lowest.

right?

All poetry is horrible
the same way all babies are beautiful

you can’t say
what happened to that babies face
they same way you cant say
that poem made me cry
from places I didn’t know I had tears

so yea

your baby is the most
absolutely cutest thing I ever saw
and your poetry is garbage
pure garbage

but just like people
who can’t stop having babies
ugly babies
cute babies
adorable babies
not so adorable babies

we cant stop writing poetry
no matter how bad it gets
no matter how horrible they are
just keep writing

I mean we can’t just be *******
to make babies
there’s more to ******* than that

right?

Read Carefully

In poetry I find the reasons to live
The reasons to persevere, to fight, to continue.
In poetry I find darkness, light, the cause for pain.
The words that can be read but never spoken.
The emotions that can be felt but never shown.
In poetry I find the people that are too broken
To live in a world where the status quo is "here's to hoping"

any thoughts on this?

What do I tell them when they ask about my best friend

What do I say when people ask
"Where is she"
I thought we had a friendship but how is it that I'm not sure how to answer that question
People often wonder
"Who was she?"
"What did she accomplish?"
"She was amazing, why didn't she let it show?"
I could continue this list for five pages
But I won't.

You were, are, and will forever be amazing, no matter how many "faces" or "masks" you decide to try on.

Shut Up, You Love Me

Shut up, you love me
You say when I remind you of your dumb choice
Shut up, you love me
You say when I start to lose faith
Shut up, you love me.
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up

Shut up, you love me
You say when you're hiding the truth
Shut up, you love me
You say when there's nothing left to hold onto
Shut up, you love me.
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up

Shut up, you love me
I say when you need to know how much you still have to live for
Shut up, you love me
I say when I have to know what's going on
Shut up, you love me
So stop pushing me away
Shut up, you love
I plead as I'm begging you to stay
Shut up, you love me
As I pray for one more day

Shut up, you love me.

I could add so many more lines to this unfinished mess but I hope you guys enjoy it thus far

To the one I let go

What if I said I wanted you back?
Would you welcome me with open arms?
If I said I missed the feeling of our fingers intertwined when your hand held mine
Would you come hold my hand for another time?
If I told you I forgot what it was like to spend every second by your side
Would you come and be my shadow one last time?
If I said I forgot the color of your eyes when the light hits them just right
Would you look at me with that half smirk and remind me of that hazel sight?

Her.

I'm not sure how to describe the color of your eyes or the sound of your voice
Your eyes are almost always bloodshot and your voice always scared to fill the silence
You have a voice but you use it sparingly so that people can't hear the pain
because Lord knows if you talked long enough, you'd spill everything
You use make-up to cover the dark circles under your eyes
being that you don't get any sleep at night
People like to think they understand you and that they know your story
but the truth is, you'll never let people close enough to let your story be known
Sure they'll get bits and pieces of your life, depending on when they came into your life
but no one will ever know the full story- you don't even know the full story

I was told today "I never would've thought she was so...amazing"
Hm
Those words rang through my mind over and over again
Until
I thought
"She doesn't know how amazing she is"
