braving the thunder was
nothing
compared to braving the
lightning beneath your
fingertips.

because i made a friend at camp. that i really like. a lot.
and we sat just outside the dining hall together trying to escape the rain and i almost fell asleep beside him and he just sat there and rubbed circles on my back and stroked my hair and it was the cutest thing ever fjdkalfsda. he's just the greatest; i don't even care what we end up being, as long as i have him in my life. i suffer from severe anxiety and abandonment issues and i was scared at first to let myself *actually* care about somebody new but i honestly have never been so comfortable around somebody so fast in my life. he's really something

You

You

You are a better person
Than you think you are.
You push me away,
So things don't go too far.
They say, "If you love someone,
Set them free."
That is the greatest gift
You could give to me.
You deserve to be loved
In a special way too.
But I'm not sure anyone
Is good enough for you.

Not true or personal, just a poem about this situation.

toby, i'm sorry
i'm so sorry
i didn't mean to feel your bones crushed between my fingers
i didn't mean to hurt you
not like this, anyway

Today my makeup
was gone by noon
and I didn't take a
shower and I only
slept for three hours
last night so my
eyes were extra
puffy and I ate too
much at lunch and
had an attitude the
next time we saw
each other afterwards,
but you still gave
me a hug and told me
it was valued at
twenty thousand
hugs and you still
told me I looked
beautiful even
though we both
know it wasn't true.
And I can't
stop
smiling.
So, thank you.

five things i learned at church camp that had nothing to do with religion but everything to do with faith

five things i learned at church camp that had nothing to do with religion but everything to do with faith

i.
sometimes when the stars
seem like them might fall, it's just
for you to catch them

ii.
it doesn't matter
if you can't sing as long as
you put on a show

iii.
boys: it's okay to
cry // girls: it is okay to
hold them when they do

iv.
i lost some of the
pieces, but that doesn't mean
i can't make new ones.

v.
faith is stepping out
onto nothing and landing
on something *perfect

i don't even care if this is good or not.

Simple truths

Simple truths

People change
As does love
The things we love the most
Often hurt us

There's one
Who never fails
And often,
He can feel distant
But He never leaves
We do.

i know you're miles away
but i've never been more in love
with you than i am now;
last night i dreamt that we spent
the night together and all you did
was hold my hand

(when i woke up, it was the first
time in months that i didn't feel
cold)

oh hello.

my faded green comforter
has rust colored stains
from the times when
i needed you most
but you didn't pick up
and didn't check your voicemail

you make me break
but i don't get mad
you always come back to heal me
but what if one day
you break me
and you don't come back
and i stay broken
forever?

family (10w)

some days i forget
how to love everyone
but you.

for my 'brother'. because if i didn't have him right now, i'd probably relapse.
i don't care if we don't share blood; i don't care if i've only known him for two years. he's a better brother than my real one ever was, and the only person i'll ever call my brother again. and i love him for it.
