The difference between Love and Like

Parents love their children—

But whether or not they like them is another story.

Cats

Cats tend to hide their pain till its too late—

I suppose that’s something we have in common.

Objects buy Love?

Is it still love when the only thing given is physical?

The Life in Blood

The little red lines that mark my flesh
Are one of the only things that remind me my life is still going—

The way my blood fills those open lines,
Reminds me my blood is still flowing through my broken veins—

The way limbs sting in the shower,
Reminds me my nerves are still alive despite the numbness—

And the attention,
the yelling,
shows I’m not fully invisible to the people I saw leave.

To Live but not be Alive

Everything that’s alive breathes—

But not everything that breathes is alive.

To some “parents”.

Unpopular opinion—

No, a child shouldn’t have to be the bigger person.

The Blinding Light of Freedom

I saw a glimpse of freedom—
It’s light poured through my window
The warm glow so inviting,
Yet so ominous—

If I took this light and held it tight
My chase would end I’d be right—

But when I take this light,
My heart will stop

My world would end,
And my dreams will parish

My mind will be empty
And my thoughts are let free—

Free of the pain I’ve endorsed in the night—
Free of the light that always chased for freedom.
