I'm sensitive to the point

where if you look at me

strangely or don't look at me

at all

tell me to stop talking or

don't talk to me

at all

ignore my text or call

whether what you did was

an accident or you don't

even realise

you did anything

at all


It will change my mood for


the whole day and my mind will be


corrupted for the whole night










 

Once in a while, admist all your bad days, you'll have a good day.
A great day even.
Make sure you remember those days.
Keep them safely in the pockets of your coat or in a jar on your desk
because you need to know that there are and will be better days.
You need to remember how on those days you felt all warm inside,
like you've just drunk a hot cup of tea.
Like a small fire has ignited inside of you.
Hold on to the warmth and never let it go.

I have a friend who is gay and recently we asked him
what is was like to have
"the conversation" with his parents,
like telling them he was gay
and he just said he never told them,
and then he said
"my brother who's straight never went to my parents
and said 'hey i'm straight' so why should i do it?"
and he arrived home with his boyfriend
and nobody made a big deal out of it
and i think it should be like that everywhere

If i ever tell you that something is my favorite song
don't listen to me, i am a liar
i have more favorite songs than there
are babies in America

and if you can't see

anything beautiful about yourself,

get a better mirror,

look a little closer

and

stare a little longer

because there's

something inside you that made

you keep trying,
despite everyone who told you to quit
you built a cast around your
broken heart,
and signed it yourself.




you signed it



"they were wrong"









 

Sometimes you tell someone to never
call you again and then the
phone rings and you hope it's them-

it's the most twisted logic of all time.



 

I want someone who will sit on a rooftop
with me at 2 in the morning
and will tell me their favouraite songs
and their family problems
and how they think the earth was made

"After high school you realize
you were only friends
with some people because
you saw them five times a week"

"Look at you. You're young.
You're scared.
Why are you so
scared?
Stop being paralysed.
Stop swallowing your words.
Stop caring what other people think.

Wear what you want.
Say what you want.
Listen to the music you want to listen too.
Play it loud as heck and dance to it.

Go out for a drive at midnight and
forget that you have school the next day.

Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now.
Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours.
When are you going to realise that you can
do whatever you want?"

-Louise Flory



 

I'm not even upset,
hurt or angry anymore.

I'm just tired.

I'm tired of putting in
more effort than i recieve.

I'm tired of holding on
for nothing.
I'm tired of believing all your lies

I'm tired of you proving
me wrong every time.

I'm tired of getting
my hopes up and
being disappointed again.
