Alone

It rained today, and snowed. The snow isn't really important to me though, I'm not sure why. The rain is very special to me. I've written about it before, and I felt like now was the time again. ~~~~~~I don't know about everyone else, but I am always alone. I have wonderful beautiful people who surround me, and love me. I have a home, I have food, a good family. I am very smart. And I am always alone. Maybe it's just a part of my nature. Every once in a while someone comes along who sparks. Just for a few short weeks I am not alone. This is a kindred soul, who understands what I'm thinking and feeling. Then they fade. Something ...

Selfish, Childish, and Mean

I am NOT selfish I am NOT childish I am NOT meanI am NOT selfish I am NOT childish I am NOT meanI am NOT selfish I am NOT childish I am NOT mean What I have to tell myself to keep myself from falling off the precipice that is the preclude to my sanity are words I wished to never have to say.Now I repeat them in my head over and over and over and over again in the hope that one day you will believe them. And you think I'm too young to need it. But my work is what I can cling too and you won't let me keep it.I am not selfish; I try to help everyone. I am not childish; I cry because I wish I was useful. I am not mean I am not mean I am not me...

How can I help you? by LadyReaderofBooks, literature

How can I help you?

Hello. Welcome to my life! How can I help you? I offer therapy at half past three, my voice at 10 to nine, my ear at 12 sharp, my luck at 12:34, and my heart at the wishing time11:11. My mind is gone already but I'll give you my intelligence if you so ask. If you ask to hear me that'd be a new one, And I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't deliver because all you will hear me say is: How can I help you?You say I love words but what I love most is silence; that abscess speaks louder than anything said. Noise comes in abundance. Silence is sacred. So you have to understand that when I don't give a reply maybe I'm saying something. "Actions s...

Lesson Learned by LadyReaderofBooks, literature

Literature

Lesson Learned

They pretend they give a flip Because they think you don't. And they pretend to love you forever Because they think that you don't. As to loving yourself They know you don't Because they think all teenagers are screwed. And I won't argue that because I think it's true. But we're all screwed in different ways Maybe because We screw in different ways. Maybe because Lives split in different ways. Maybe because Tears come in frequent waves. Maybe because We lie that we're ok. Maybe because The first time you're screwed over is the worst. And maybe because they've forgotten how much it hurts They can bullshit this into a lesson learned.

What Happened?

You can try to fill my glass But I think it's broken. And you can try to save me from drowning But I'll still be choking. And I don't know where I'm going anymore So I compensate with laughing.Now I'm running my mouth But I'm not really talking. If I gab long enough Maybe I'll finally say something. I'm running on autopilot Every day.I don't think we know each other And it's got me worried. Cause I might need to lean on a shoulder. I don't want to fall over from an absence of one. My mind's growing colder. My heart's growing older.Whatever happened to THE group? The soul-sister awesomesauce completely connected troupe Of people just like m...

I Guess the Other Shoe Dropped

Is there a better word for crushed? Shattered? Clockwork not turning, Gears are burning, Trying to throw you bike into reverse?Is there a better way to tell When my pieces are taped together And I'm going to hell For that simple sin of Sloth?Is there a better way to sing When all I'm doing is listening; When the CD is broken And my voice's off key And I don't have the energy?Is there a better way to hope So I wasn't pulled apart When the tug-of-war broke, So we all don't get caught in the crossfire Of silly small things like wish and desire?Is the there a better way to be, Or is karma just hitting us because we're free?

I Don't Cry at Spilled Milk

I don't cry over spilled milk. You may think I do, but the milk is the least of the problems.I cry for the children who needed that milk they have less than me and I don't even LIKE milk.I cry for the girls that I know that just love milk, they have everything they could want except a perfect family.I cry for the girl who would've laughed at the milk, I love her so much but I don't know how to help.I cry for the girl that would hold me as I cried at the milk, She's the first girl I fully trusted and I can't figure out how to tell her I need her right now.I cry for the girl who would've laughed at ME as I cried at the milk, She's held dea...

Drama

I'm in love with drama queens, but not in love with drama. The stage is set for me-- but I don't want to be a character. It seems so fun on TV, but drama's not the path for me.I'm in love with the wind in my hair, the rest in the chair, the simple in the sky.I get thrills from the trust in the fall, the yes in the no, the love in the laughter.I embrace the end of the race, the stop of the chase, that moment of the play-- when the curtain comes up and there is silence.
