Fitting in's a trap:
they put you inside the box,

you're never hopeless

you tell me you feel hopeless as you talk with tired eyes- the sky drips with black pen ink poured on crystal cosmic lights your eyes become black vacuums- your words turn to somber sighs, and I ask you: on the darkest of nights, have you ever seen a starless sky?

Six Words for the Suffering

Pain ends, but you must not.

You said....

You told me “friends forever”, More like ‘friends for now’, As your sweet promises Were just lies I allowed. You said “we are best friends”, More like ‘friends at best’, As your solid affirmations Were all digressed. You told me “I need you” More like ‘you need me’ As your statements Were my last plea. Why did you go? Why did you leave? I’m left here all alone Trying, in us, to believe.

No rest for a weary heart.

Yesterday my mother asked me what I would name my children and I told her that I did not want any. She scoffed at me and shook her head, insisting that once I found the "perfect man" all of that would change. And I thought back to all the times when my palms sweated and my throat ran dry and my cheeks heated up just because a girl walked by whose lips were so pretty and pink that all I wanted to do was taste them. "No," I replied, swallowing the acid that was threatening to crawl out of my mouth, "it will take a lot more than that to convince me." Because despite the fact that the mere thought of a man with arms that could carry the we

Heliophilia 2: Secrets Revealed -- Part 1

“…and when I came back, I had these,” finished Twilight Sparkle with a flourish of her wings, the Princess extending her purple pinions for her two guests to see. “I couldn’t believe it at first, but after Princess Celestia showed up and pretty much told me that I wasn’t dreaming it finally sank in: I had become an alicorn, and was now a Princess of Equestria.” The alicorn smiled in a way that was simultaneously sheepish and proud, as if she loved telling the story but still felt a little embarrassed about how self-serving it sounded. “And that’s that – the whole s

It is okay to be getting your hair trimmed for the first time in eighteen months. It is fine to let yourself inflate a sad story and then another, like pink gum bubbles In the direction of anyone who will listen. You can now chew over the last year and a half of your life from a distance, when you’re at the hairdressers, after she notices the short patches by your sideburns with an inquisitive look. You can hold back the tears with relative ease, as if telling of someone else’s illness, rolling the grief around in your mouth like a gobstopper whist her acrylic nails gently graze the backs of your ears. You can use an entire palm

Our generation

cigarette smoke and alcohol the fumes embedding in the wall cocaine lines in bathroom stalls: our generation, we have it all misguided teens, with dying dreams (poured down the drain by languid veins) the clinking of glasses and racing hearts, we cannot stop what we did start it's all an escape- a sick paradox: we're running from ourselves.

Others Have It Worse

So many have it worse than you, so don't be so upset. Depression is so stupid, just the same as false regret. Anxiety? Oh, what a joke. You just don't want to fail. Hallucinations? What a crazy, funny little tale. Darling, you're pathetic. Take the blade off of your skin. You're such a little wannabe, don't let your sorrow win. Suicide is stupid, and a sin, oh, don't you see? Come on, just respond, love, why are you ignoring me? ... Today I heard you passed away. I'm sorry for your pain. If only others knew the way I did-- you weren't insane. If only you had known, my love, how much your soul was worth... But honestly, you should've smile

Fat Girls Shouldn't Wear Shorts

Fat girls should not wear shorts to "show off their curves" or "display their legs" because thick thighs do not actually save lives. They should not wear shorts because everyone will gawk and talk and hope they can mentally erase the image of chubby legs and wide hips rubbing together. There must have been a reason they were watching your back in the first place, anyway. Fat girls should not wear clothing that does not suit their body type. Throw on a sweatshirt and feel like a prisoner in a cotton cage. Let yourself become "one" with your insecurity. Never dare to wear revealing clothes because no one is attracted to repulsive, ample

Depression Isn't Real

Depression isn’t true, my dear Depression isn’t real. It’s just a silly tragedy You’ve forced yourself to feel. Anxiety is fake, my friend You wonder why it’s there. But others have it worse than you! Stop forming false despair. Cutting is dramatic, love, It’s ugly, and it’s dumb. Why not just get over it? Is the attention fun? Suicide is stupid, dear, And selfish, if I may. Get over yourself, darling, Can you hear these things I say? Why aren’t you replying, love? Oh, where could you have gone? I never meant to hurt you, love, Did I say something wrong? Why aren’t you replying, dear

I'd rather be ostracized than trapped inside.
It's okay to stand out, and it's okay to be different. Do what makes YOU happy first.

Someone told me to try a haiku once, so here is a (not so great) first attempt. >.<
