do you ever mess up something super duper minor and no one else thinks it an issue and you see that but on the inside you just feel like collapsing and crying and folding into little pieces of human origami because god it would be wonderful to be anything but yourself?

Life is great, until I take my earbuds out
this is what i love about you
this is what makes me grin
this is what gets my heart beating
this is why i let you in.

your sense of humor is magical,
i can be myself around you.
our love is never tragic and
i can always try something new.

your smile can light up the whole town
your laugh can turn a head
you lift me up when i am down
you get me out of bed.

i trust you with my everything
i know you won’t talk trash
we don’t even need a promise ring
i know that we’ll surely last.

the hugs and kisses feel so right
the cuddles feel so safe
and when you hold my hand real tight
you give me so much faith.

just know that you’re my baby boy
and i’m your baby girl
you always give me so much joy
you make my heart wanna twirl.

i love you more than anything
and that will always be
i’m your queen and you’re my king,
and that’s why i love you, you see.
Hi, my name is anxiety! This is what I do to Hannah.

First, I love making her stomach clench up so that she feels like screaming! That’s the best way to start.  

Next, I start tensing up every muscle in her body so that she wants to throw a chair across the room. That’s so much fun!

After that, I make her cry. YAY! Runny mascara is a great look on her.

Then, I decide, hmm, why not make her want to disconnect from the world and hide under her bed all day? That sounds really relaxing and nice.

What happens next, you ask? Oh I make Hannah so angry and upset that she starts taking that anger out on the people around her.  They all deserve Hannah’s pain, right?

Ugh, I’m tired now. I guess I’ll just leave Hannah alone so that she can feel all my actions for another two to three hours.

Thanks for your time! Maybe I’ll come hang out with you soon! ;)
Twenty-six letters in the alphabet
Restrain me in creativity of expression
But I'll use all variations of them
To express every possible emotion
Because I am so free and so big
Made up of small infinities
I want to love with intensity
And hurt just the same
I'll burn every letter on paper
As it burns in my heart
For you all to see that I am the letters
And also everything in between

Blah blah blah
Enjoy. Maybe?
so much joy today,
my heart within wee birds
flutters and swings in winds,
this day is so brilliant!

deep within my heart birds sing

so much light today,
sun has painted me golden,
my heart out beats of redden,
this day is so brilliant!

artful sun has painted me golden

even the seas today,
touch skies in crested waves
with my heart sailing in breeze,
this day is so brilliant!

*waves of sea hug skies with me

Somewhere along the line
From act, to speech to print
The text, made stained by mortal hands,
Condemned an act to sin.
The deed which brands us human
And binds the two as one
Where nature bequeathed liberty,
Religion came to shun.
The little death outside of law
That brings dual spirits close
Became an ugly, shameful thing
Beyond our own control.

If this is so, than **** my love
And send me forth to Hell
May countless masses follow
When commanded to be well.

I worry
For the unmoving mountain
Unable to move an inch
In the midst of an earthquake.
The shaking ground
Does not mean to destroy it
But it cannot be helped
When some things
Are just so obstinate.
They must survive
Or crumble.

The earth is changing beneath us all.
When the dust has settled,
Nothing will ever be the same.
Fall apart or carry on.
