I would be
an
awful parent.
My kid would say
“I don’t wanna go to school, I just wanna
sleep”
and I’d probably get in bed with them and say
“I feel
you”
a lot of my life
jump puddles for me
i just want to go to
a
coffee
shop
on a rainy day and order something nice and
warm
and have an attractive stranger around my age say
“I’ll have one of those too, please”
and for them to smile at me and introduce themselves
and for us to slowly fall in love in a coffee shop
but instead whenever I go to a coffee shop ,
I find teenagers taking pictures
of their orders with their iPhones
and middle aged women wearing
yoga
pants..
Too attractive to date ugly people.
If you’ve
ever
tried to fight tears on the bus
ride home, and failed.
If you’ve ever lied about why your eyes were glazed
over,
and you were believed.
This one’s for
you.
If you’ve ever stopped listening to your favorite band
because he liked them too.
If you’ve ever hated a girl you didn’t know
because he picked her over you.
This one’s for
you.
If you’ve ever wished you were weak enough to cry in
public.
If you’ve ever constantly hid behind laughter and
smiles.
This one’s for
you.
If you’ve ever bit your lip to stop it from quivering.
If you’ve ever walked with your eyes planted on the
ground.
This one’s for
you.
If you’ve ever stared into the darkness before sleep,
trying to avoid the ‘what’s if’s’ and
‘if only’s’.
If you’ve ever listened to totally different music,
but ended up thinking about him anyway.
This one’s for
you.
The girl who doesn’t get the guy.
The girl who still lives her life to the fullest she can.
The girl who gets up every day and doesn’t give up.
This one’s for
you,
because it takes so
much to be that
strong.
Is anyone else
completely terrified
by the concept that
you could, someday, meet someone
who actually genuinely wants to spend
the rest of their life in love
with
you?
do
you ever get so annoyed
at
everything
that you start to get mad at
even little things
like a spoon clinking against a bowl
or sounds of people
talking?
Have you ever wondered
which hurts the most:
saying something and wishing you had not,
or saying nothing, and wishing you
had?
Maybe this is what
the Mayans predicted.
Not an asteroid or a solar flare,
but the end of what we are.
We no longer cherish life,
or the other people,
or even the earth or the animals
or the resources put on it.
War.
Genocide.
Abuse.
Senseless mass murder.
Animal cruelty.
Gluttony.
Greed.
And waste.
Look around you,
the end of the world is already
here...
what if
tattoos just randomly
appeared on our skin
at key points in our lives
and we had to figure out
what they meant for
ourselves?
