Over

I am so over everything. The immaturity of those around me has just grown and grown and I can't wait until they're all done with it as well

Your Hand In Mine

Silence.

Five people together, all of us friends.

There is never a moment of silence

Until now.

Eight minutes, seventeen seconds, and

Complete darkness.

The first strike of the melody hit,

and our breathing became synchronized.

Five people.

Despite the darkness

We could see each other.

We see each other.

Our brains, our hearts, our lungs

All connected

With inexplicable strength and tenacity

The strings bound us from five corners

Five people

Two women, three men

Little more than acquaintances until this point

Forever connected

Forever bound

Until that last chord rings dry.

Advice to myself

Happiness hit her like a train on a tracK

Fresh Scars

It was bad enough for me to be different in this way.

I guess that's why he wanted me.

I was easy for him

Though I didn't want what he did

I don't have what you want!

I told him, but what a surprise

No one stops when I tell them.

To feel disgusting

To feel violated and used

To feel worn out, tattered, broken beyond repair

You don't know how it feels.

That's Why

You stayed with him, there was no other way

To tell people that the bruises weren't from your doorknobs

The cuts weren't from your kitchen knives

As much as you would've liked them to be
