imaginary reality
What if I fell in love
With a broken down *******
Not because I needed to fix him
But simply because I wanted to revel in his beauty
The maddening craziness
Of a life
A life that didn't need to be maintained with perfection
A life where you could just knock down pillars that you didn't need
Destroy friendships that weren't beneficial
A life where one could disown one's own mother
Without the whole neighbourhood offering their tut-tuts
And their 5 cents too many
About how to trim your garden
What if I fell in love with a life
Who let their weeds grow
And created a garden out of thorns
A **** patch that would make those neighbours shriek
What if I fell in love with chaos and disorder
Not to right the tables
Nor to order the shelves
What if I didn't attempt to prune the garden
But I let it grow into a forest
And then laughed when I stepped on a thorn
What if I let the sun shine through the madness
What if I opened my arms to the destruction
What if you sung me a lullaby out of tune
And I asked you to sing it anyways…

I hate that i have to pretend not to remember small details of people to not freak them out that I know things about them from memory.

Just let me ******* kiss you.
Please.
Just once.
Just so I can savour the taste of your lips, for one moment.
Just so I can feel what I've longed to feel from you.
For one moment.
So I can wrap my arms around your neck and run my fingers through your hair.
For maybe more than a moment.
But let me show you the way I want to love you.
Just for one moment.
When they start to see what's written between the lines
When they concern themselves with the opinions of others
When they become self-conscious
When they go with the crowd
When they watch someone die
When their nightmares become reality
When they accept that their reality is an illusion
When they find out they were adopted
When they lose self-confidence
When they can't look their mother in the eye
When they steal to survive another day
When they're left to fend for themselves
When they see the flaws in society
When they just accept the pain
When they fall and just don't want to get up
When they find the wrong role model
When they hide behind a mask of fake composure
When they give everything to somebody
When they start looking at their Daddy and cringe in fear
When they feel they have to hide their tears
When they no longer feel safe in their mother's arms
When they see through your lies
When they lie to themselves
When they're no longer accepted
When they're raising their siblings
When they break someone's heart
When they break Grandma's antiques
When they care naught for others
When they deceive
When they cheat
When they hate
When they hurt
When they ****
When they destroy
When they love
When they lust

That is when a child loses their innocence.

circus clown
his mother tried to **** him
when he was in her belly
so he tried to **** her
on his way out and
they
never
spoke
about
it
why do i think about this so much? i guess i just had to write it down.

You stab me in the back with a knife,
and I apologize for bleeding on it.

Black and white
Light and Dark.
My soul rests beside me,
as I recline in my seat.
Filled with wonder,
I contemplate his purpose.
I stare through where eyes should be
into a strange darkness,
An infinitely empty space.
Deep in the pools of black
a faded light, Barely visible.
The light begins to grow,
It flashes blindingly bright.
the light lasts but a moment
before it shrinks to a spec
never lit again.

This is a message
To anyone that ever doubted me,
That never game me a chance
because I wasn't capable.
For all the people who said I would grow up to be nothing;
That I'd fail with every step I take.
To all the people that ever made me feel like ****.

You were right.
I've been thinking a lot lately about how far I've come and how short the leap of change really is.

Little did I know how the sunshine can dapple and dance across your closed eyelids in such a way.

Little did I realise how the nudging between shy elbows
could
lead
to
this
rhapsodic sweet thing
that
breathlessly
quicken
heart-beats
and
pale cheeks to crimson.

Little did I know,
how much I have
fallen
till
my lips said
Hello
to
our cheek.

And oh my,
did it make me gasp at how right it was,

*it
    is.
Hello there sunshine!

So, sweet-heart, if you are reading this.
Please don't blush.
