No animal on earth can be as terrifying or as...
Dexter
I’m obsessed with this show! I heard from multiple people how good this show was, but I never really took the time to check it out. Then one of my teachers showed just the opening credits in class and that alone finalized my decision to start watching it. However, I obviously had to start with season one, so I am way behind. I watch it every second I get though … don’t judge me....
Human After All
This mind dares to forgive what it cannot imagine to forget These eyes have witnessed what no individual will ever understand This mouth has whispered regrets full of disgust time and time again These hands have cleaned more chaotic messes than bargained for This back has been stabbed by more than one so-called comrade These feet have been forced to stagger away from irresistible relationships...
Art is what you can get away with.
Pain is weakness leaving the body.
Where am I going? To the center of the earth and...
Don't make me come down there, God said.
Covered in Skin
They are the luckiest people on earth, if luck is what you want to call it. There’s one in every corner. With one step, one glance, they lift their powdered lips and pose a question, “How am I doing? Am I bleeding yet?” Go wipe your face off, baby; you’ll be just fine. Blink once if you’re alive, you’re so caked in fake. All the pretty people are doing it, but...
There's a difference between living and living in...
Were You Alone or By Yourself?
Absolutely lost is an honest enough way to describe her life as of late Not certain who she is any longer, she went on a lingering walk to find hope She took an hour-long shower just to stand there The water poured down in place of tears She’s not the crying kind That’s not to say she didn’t have all the feelings That sensation in the pit of her stomach, her throat constricting,...
Drowning On Ice
Take a piece of me, pass it on, and give me a name. All of that just to be left alone, Lonely as a crowd. I’m wondering if I have the heart When I’m losing sight of what’s right, And it’s just me and my shadow. There are no more tears on the inside. You won’t know me very long …
The Shins - New Slang
Sweetly Sober Statistic
I heard you’re trying to become a man, but you chose the bottle over me. I know you have a habit whether you shake your head yes or no. Have you ever been caught so off guard that you answer with the truth, Contradicting every word that comes out of your soiled mouth, you hinder the body you were made to live in. Your mindset conveys that it’s always been white roses growing tall...
I've Tasted Flight
My body is crinkling at the seams, yet I haven’t seen my blood in weeks. The rock rolled over me, but let me show you my bruises as I push up my sleeves and try again. I don’t need cotton or denim, I’ve got my own thick inked skin. I’m letting go this week, that way at least my hands are free. And I’m realizing now that I’m the luckiest girl on earth,...
Dig Deep
All I did today was suck in oxygen, then the air rushed out like it was sick of keeping me alive. Let’s go outside to see if we can come across any more for my hungry lungs. I go out, I come back in. I bask in the comfort of a greedy click. My expression doubles in size as the scent of fresh cuisine spans the room. We fall into mildly different daily routines, but it’s the goodnight...
Ben Folds - The Luckiest
I’m reading this book...
Where the Wild Things Are
So I finally saw Where The Wild Things Are. Of what I payed attention to, it was well worth the wait. I say ‘of what I payed attention to’ because I have this tendency to get distracted by other things online. They say the possibilities are endless and they are not joking. I’ll eventually watch it again and actually pay attention to it because it was a really good movie....
Switch Over
I open my eyelids for a split second only to be met with the blindingly overbearing sun, while the son of my father pokes his head out to ask that infamous question ‘Do you want to go to the pool?’ I have a grueling schedule, yet I close my eyes and let them rest. The rays of the sun do its part in the process of shedding my pasty outer layer. It’s on my side today. But it’s not always an ally,...
