She said,"I believe in black. I believe that crying is the best calorie burner. I believe in forehead kisses and hugs. I believe in being weak when everything gets too much. I believe that sad girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow might still be the same and I too don't believe in miracles...not most times...barely...because it is most times unbearable. And I believe all this is beautiful because life is never bright and sunny and you dont always feel as though you exist...the beauty in this is that flicker of light you see in the middle of all that darkness

Читать полностью…I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I've got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. Ijust want to be, boundless and infinite.

i know you never loved the sound of your voice on tape
you never want to know how much you weight
you still have to squeeze into your jeans
but you're perfect to me.
Sea of words are inked unto my paper
The world sees the word as poetry but it expresses my inner truth
An inner truth coming out of my inner pain
Don't get mesmerized. I hide the pain with a mask of laughter.
The grin with my maize-like-gum-tooth is only an illusion.
I think I can con people with this face like a magician's trick
Tomorrow when the sun unzips itself;
I know I'll gain strength from my pain.

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five year plans. We take ourselves vert very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time. Overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving... we pride ourselves on getting as little as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, alot of it. We are restless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be passive-aggressive as our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers... we are the daughters of the feminist who said "you can be anything" and we heard "you have to be everything"

"I hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast, I am alone in the night
been trying hard not to get into trouble
but I, .. I've got a war in my mind"
the truth is love does fade and sometimes you fall in love with the person you made them out to be in your head... but as time passes you see your assumptions about them weren't quite right... and you resent them for not being the person you thought they were... you feel cheated... even tho you were the one who went along and decided to fill in the missing dots in the first place... cause you were too impatient let them show you who they are on their own pace... and because you were never looking at them in the first place, all along, you were looking at the person you already drew up in your head way before you ever met them
Читать полностью…I don't wanna think
I dont wanna cry
I don't want to forget or remember
I don't wanna run from the loneliness or sit and listen to its whispers
I don't wanna lie and act like I am fine
I don't wanna breath
"I don't really know whether I have survived. My inner self shut itself up more and more. As though to protect itself, it has become inaccessible even to me"
Читать полностью…Each love poem I have come to assemble has a dash of exaggeration in it. truth be told, I have never loved so greatly, so freely, so desperately. I find myself holding back forever, holding back every single fibre and nerve and butterfly in my body. But I am tired of holding back. I want to fall head-to-toe, madly in love. I want to feel what it is like to be able to throw my love away and know with absolute certainty this love will come back to me because you’ll give your equally free and honest love, to me.

i know you've never loved
the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
you've never loved your stomach or your thighs
the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
but I'll love them endlessly.
Chaos in my mind.Death reaching out to me. Wanting to lay its icy hands on me. My thoughts keep hindering him from reaching me.I guess I have to scream anytime he tries to take over my body. He reached unto me finally but he was shocked by the coldness in my heart. He decided to get off upon feeling that.I guess not even death wants me. I finally understand why everyone comes and goes.

the scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you.

This is one of the reasons I fear loving and being loved so much. Perfectly explained. My fear is being loved by someone who has already made up their mind about me...someone that is not who I truly am. And the fear also comes from someone loving me because they see a goodness in me that I may not have and the fear of the disappointment they will face if I amnot who they expected to be. And me seeing who they arenot.
Читать полностью…Cracked pots
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water..
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream.
'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.
The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?'
'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them.'
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.'
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.
You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
SO, to all of my cracked pot sisters, brothers and friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!
And send this to any or all of your Cracked Pot sisters, brothers and friends and see what a smile you will put on their faces.

When I shut down,I shut all the way down.
I don't want to talk
I dont want any form of interaction
I dont want to be bothered or surrounded by ppl
I dont want to answer my phone.
Just let me go thru what I go thru and I will be alright
The way my mom tries to convince my little sister to do sth like get her hair braided or change her clothes is by telling her how her current state looks bad and how everyone will laugh at her if she goes out like that. That's future emotional trauma right there.

Читать полностью…Questions I ask myself
Am i being a good person?
Am i tricking myself into thinking that i am kind?
That i am thoughtful?
And that I truly care about others as much as myself?
And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter— they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long.
