i'm not strong. with demons sitting at my table, an angel asks me "why," and slowly i give up inside and say "to feel alive, i'd give it all away."

....i can't sleep (figures)....so...yea...whatever i say, don't hold me accountable..k? k!

...i don't think we can measure our goodness by what we don't do.

...i have a hard time trusting people...i just never want to jump and find out there's absolutely no one to catch me.

...why feel gratitude and not express it? it's like wrapping up a present and never giving it to someone.

...no snowflakes ever fall in the wrong place.

...i get the distinct feeling that i used to talk. no one ever listened, or someone always silenced me, so i stopped.

...it is in the pursuit of beauty and truth that we will always be allowed to be children.

...if love is surrender, then who's war is it?

...ever look at the white people around you and just want to scream: "you can't do that. you aren't black."?

...i've suddenly come to realize the caliber of dickheads i've head the displeasure of caring about. for leading me to find that? i thank him.

...sometimes vision is cleared when the tears wash everything away.

..."you always smile and laugh, but in your eyes your sorrow shows." ---ouch.

...i pull myself together, just to fall apart. and i do it over-and-over again. when will i learn?

...i want to be able to look at you and not feel so hurt by you.

...do people look in the mirror before they go out? honestly, i'm starting to think most people don't.

...where upon me does it say "please ignore my emotions at your own convenience"?

...the power of music is that they can't take it away from you. the beauty of music is that it's always yours.

...these walls we build to keep out the pain and sadness, also keep out the joy. what's more worth having? safety or joy? tricky, tricky.

...the worst thing a guy can do is to let a girl fall, and not catch her.

...we should cry once a day. not out of sadness,but because the world is so beautiful and life is so short.

...i'm tired of stretching my arms out to something that was never really there to begin with.

...the times we shared laughing together are gone. what bothers me is you don't fucking care at all.

...every person i meet is superior to me in some way, and in that i learn from them.

...the things you're most afraid of have already happened.

...nobody takes a picture of something they want to forget.

...i can't even count the number of times i've laid awake at night, wondering if they're awake and thinking of me, too.

...i don't want to live. i want to love, and live incidentally.

...sometimes i get the urge to run around naked. drinking some windex helps me avoid streaking. hah!

...if you geniunly like someone, details don't fucking matter.

...consider how hard it is to change yourself. now you understand why you'll never be able to change others.

...i know. i know, because i cried.

...don't ever let someone be a priority in your life when you are just a mere option in theirs.

...kisses blown, are kisses wasted.

...dance your cares away! worries for another day! let the music play! down in fraggle rock!

...you lived with an image. i lived with an illusion.

...i could have loved him, but he went away. and when he decided to come back, love was just a forgotten word.

...i live for the nights i won't remember with friends i won't forget.

...i feel like i've beein in a coma for the past two years, and i'm just now waking up.

...let your heart guide you. it whispers, so listen closely.

...at the end of the day, he's not even worthy of being a vegetable--even artichokes have hearts.

..."if ignorance is bliss, then wipe the smile off my face"

...don't be reckless with other peoples hearts. it's a shitheaded thing to do. that said-don't ever put up with someone who is reckless with yours.

...never give up on anything or anyone that makes you smile.
