In a world where society says you need to be thin,
beautiful, and smart, funny yet sophisticated. In a work where you are to be yourself. Except you can't do that. Oh sorry, no, you can't do that either. In a world where you need to be unique but can't stand out of the crowd or you get patronized. "How are we supposed to go on in our lives being all those contradicting things?" you may ask yourself. Well, I have a solution. It is quite simple actually. You do you and don't listen to what society has to say. You be the perfect person you are in this beautiful world. You let NO ONE tell you who you should be, because you are amazing. You don't have to be skinny and tall. You don't need to be charismatic and sarcastic all at the same time. You don't need to worry about what people are going to say about you. If you want to wear that sweater covered in cats you ******* rock that sweater covered in cats! You could be a plump Hobbit and you would still be perfect because you are you, and you are amazing. Don't let anybody ever tell you otherwise.

Every day I learn to accept who I am more and more,
Every day I’m beginning to realize that who I am isn’t so bad
Every day someone says something to knock me down a little bit
But it only makes me tougher
A hell of a lot stronger
Every day I’m realizing things aren’t always going to go the way I want them to go
Every day I realize that I’m not so bad after all
Every day all of the things I put up with
The love and the drama
It all just makes me want to live a little bit longer

RIPPED

TORN

The blade sliding across my fragile skin.

A rush of adrenaline pushes its way through my body.

Blood drips from my arm.

Finally,

Relief.

The best respect to have
is respect for yourself.
I need to try to remember this, I have a bad habit of forgetting I'm a person.

Trees and vines invade through busted windows.
Layers of dust preserving abandoned old toys.
Water swollen floors from holes in the battered roof.
Mold has tattooed the ceiling forever.
Peeling paint falls off with a single kiss of the wind.
As you sit there and ponder on what happened,
the ghosts of the dead wonder.
This is one of my personal new favourites. I tried to use imagery and a I hope it worked.

My mind has been on a roller coaster of sublimation.
Turning to mush as I get called crazy.
Not doing any thing about it because I'm, quote, lazy.
Wishing I could turn back time.
Wishing they weren't so sublime.
Now I'm all alone in the nation.
Nothing left but sublimation.
