Love is a blissful thing.
But when heartbreak comes around,
It becomes the most painful.

Although, sometimes, maybe the pain's worth it.

Human nature is what makes us human -

Human nature is a bunch of characteristics.
Characteristics that include ways of thinking, feeling and acting,
Which humans have naturally.
It can lead to many things, both good and bad.

Is this what being a human is?

Fear, anger, love.
They aren’t weaknesses.
Without emotion,
We would just be empty shells of things that look like people.
Our thoughts,
Even the silliest ones,
Can lead to something big.
Every thought is important.
Our mistakes
Form us into who we’re meant to be.
Without mistakes,
We would never learn.

What does it really mean to be human?

To be human means having and showing emotion.
To be human means having the freedom of being whomever.
To be human means to accept all that you are.
To be human means to love and live freely.

Human nature. Being human. It makes us who we are.

I'm as whole as my heart,
Even if it's frozen.
But I've got cracks on my surface.
That show you I'm broken.

But broken ice is still cold,
So broken people can be too.

I'm a Pisces, so, here's me:

1. My heart is as cold as ice.
2. I fool people into thinking that they know so much about me, when in reality, they only know a fraction.
3. I'm afraid they'll devour me, so I devour myself.
4. I'm the saddest person, but I smile the brightest.
5. I'll never accept being second best for someone.
6. I'll either tell you exactly what I think, or stay silent.
7. I'll forgive, but never forget.
8. I want to escape reality, it's a gift and a curse.
9. Never underestimate me. I'm more than you think.
10. I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim.

I'm not who everyone thinks I am.
There's more to me than meets the eye.
Here's a Pisces in pieces.

Nos autem non in vacuum cucurri caeca.
Perdidit in tenebris sumus.
Ex visus, ex animo.
Nos iam esset desperato.

I'm counting down.
Only 10 seconds left.

Here he comes,

9

Holding a gun.

8

He tells me to choose.

7

I choose.

6

I feel the gun against my head,

5

And the knife against my neck.

I wait.

He doesn't shoot.
But I cut.

Say something.
Anything.
I just need you to,

Say something.
Anything.
There's nothing I won't do,

To hear your voice,
Just one more time.
You need to realize,
A word will be just fine.
Just please,

Say something.
Anything.
So that I can let you go.

There is a time you realize
That you only called someone your friend
Because you saw them five days a week.

Friendship shouldn't be based on frequency.
It should be based on understanding.

I'm so tired
Of the pressure and stress.
I don't want to do more.
I need to do less.

I'm suffocating,
In my own head.

No one can get in.
Nothing can get out.
My mind is a closed door.
It's all locked in.

I'm in too deep.
I can't touch the bottom with my feet.
But I'm not drowning,
I'm sinking in peace.

I'm in too deep.
I can't see what's around me.
I'm hidden in the folds
Of a deep blue sea.

I'm in too deep.
I can't hear the thrashing sea.
I'm just lost,
In the darkness around me.

Shrouded in darkness.
My wall, my clothes and my thoughts.
I’m lost in darkness.
The girl they knew is gone.

I can't think
I don't what to think

I can't speak
I don't know what to say

I can't write
I don't know the words

I can't listen
I don't know what to hear

I can't be normal
I don't know how

I am a lost cause.
A human without purpose.
Where do I belong?

When we die, our secrets die with us.
As do our sweet lies and bitter truths.

Under the water
No one is watching.
Under the water
I'm not afraid.

Everything is so much quieter
When I'm under the water.

"I'm a tough nut to crack.
Nothing can break me."
Is what I used to say.
Before they got into my head
And led me astray.

I'm as fragile as glass
                And I've already shattered.
                                           I'm as fragile as grass
                                                           ­ And as bruised and battered.

                    You can't break me because I'm already broken.

Remember those times
I had cried on your shoulders.
Do you remember?

Hope keeps us waiting,
and it leaves us like that

I have lived many lives
I have escaped many times
Through the power of words

I have shed many tears
I have shared many fears
With the tales I've held in my hand

I have laughed many days
I have rejoiced many ways
Because of the emotions I've felt

I have waited many hours
I have wasted many thoughts
Just to let the ending sink in

But a real book never truly ends
The people never really leave
As for that to happen
Readers would have to not believe

Who knows?
Who knows what's beyond us?
Beyond the simple minds
Of average humans.

We can only do so much.

I want to get out.
Out of this place.
But I can't right now.
I have too much to face.
I want to run.
Run far away.
But there's so much I've done.
So much in the way.
I want to escape.
Escape reality.
Escape everything
That's chasing after me.

Even after everything you've done.
I'm still ready to forgive you.
Still ready to help you.
Why?
Because I'm human.
