I cannot function.

These words may not make sense the morning,

but that's the beauty of writing,
isn't it?

You write what works, what flows, what feels right in the moment,

Then reflect later, thinking

"What the ****?"

Young enough to say what you feel,
Old enough to know your feelings are wrong.

Young enough to embrace love,
Old enough to let it go.

Young enough to laugh openly,
Old enough to be embarrassed.

Young enough to cry freely,
Old enough to stop

Young enough to feel pain,
Old enough to know there is more to come

Young enough to write,
Old enough to communicate.

This pitch black room conjures thoughts
of the horror movies I've watched,
those I haven't,
and those I've imagined

This room,
once a safe-haven,

has become a Hell drenched expanse,

waiting for my mind
to breathe life

into its
Lungs
Wrote this last night. My stepdad makes me turn my phone off at ten so I couldn't post it.

The one guaranteed to break your heart,
he seems like a good idea.



"I hate you" will definitely get you out of this one.



If your lies spill out of your mouth faster than your heart is beating,
they won't even know.
Or are those impulses?
