Time is passing. Can you feel it?
I find myself looking at things and remembering them as they once were; how much things have changed, it seems, since I last looked. The trees in my yard, it seems that just yesterday they were saplings. And when did my fingers start to look like my mom’s? I don’t know what I would see if I turned on Nickelodeon, but it definitely wouldn’t be “Rocket Power”...

I thought I was wandering through the streets of a ghost town
Faded and dusty with time
Until I realized I was the ghost.

Un-blank
She stares at the blank canvas, willing something to appear
Something that will be able to express her hopes, her dreams, her fears
Inspiration doesn’t come, she didn’t expect it to
She knows things will never be handed to her
They never had been, anyway
So minus the magic, she starts to paint.
She creates something herself,
Molded out of thoughts she didn’t know she had
...
“Doesn’t have a point of view, knows not where he’s going to,...”
– my third favorite Beatles song
Inspiration is hiding from me.
Again. L/sjdf;werjoigf.

Fairy Girls
We are surrounded by fairy girls,
Twirling their fairy hair,
Faces lit by unaffected smiles,
Nothing they do not dare.
Without a care in the world,
They flit and flirt and fly,
A new, less tangible royalty
These girls up on the high.
The fairy girls grow up entitled
Sources of marvel and awe
The other girls hide in their shells,
Learning never stand up tall.
And nobody questions,...

Lonely
He writes poetry in the middle of the night
With words, in a language only he knows
Trying to write what he cannot speak
To explain, to understand.
But it never comes out right.

Avoid mirrors
You might see yourself
And all that you are
Beautiful and ugly
With the things you cannot help, control
Or believe in

YOU
Read this, you won't regret it. →
Libba Bray (her books are amazing, by the way) remembers those close to her who battled with AIDS and their sexuality. It’s heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.

To be honest, I am a liar.
I am a liar unlike any you’ve ever met before. I lie when there’s no need to lie. I lie to everyone about everything. Big or small, for reasons worthwhile or stupid. I’m such a good liar that I can lie to myself. I can make something appear out of thin air and before I know it my mind will have accepted it as absolute truth. Half my brain is concentrating on the words I am saying...
