nothing is more fulfilling than learning more and more about yourself and how you cope with things and learning how to overcome your survival mode and skills to live a life in full bliss for yourself.
no one you want to impress, no one who you wanna badly talk to, who you're waiting for and craving to be with
— only you and yourself after a very long time of trying to fill the void with the love and adoration of other people.
it's just you. it was always just you. the only one you needed and who held all the love till you were ready for accepting it — like right now.

You guys ever find a poem that just. Pierces you? Drags you out into the morning sun? Feels like a weight lifting off of you yet also like a hand settling on your shoulder. The distinct feelings you really believed no one would ever share. Laid out so beautifully. So wholly raw and just full of feeling you can practically taste it when you read. It is such a gift to be understood.

Faux Pas.
Over seven billion personalities to wear,
You happen to choose
The ones in the bargain bin.
Claiming ‘it a ‘classic vintage’
Unappreciated by the peons…
A misunderstood designer-
(Like we haven’t had a history of those)
You wore it … like haute couture
And not the unfinished, fraying
Mess that it truly was.

Strawberries
Crushing crimson in my mouth
They're the only thing I can't live without
Sanguine and blooming
Bright days are looming
Imminently bound

Just Smile by Crystal Charlotte Lynch
Just Smile it’ll be okay
Smile and wish the madness away
It’s a simple little thing
However the pearly whites of my mouth
Are shy, unbothered, full of self doubt
Smile and it’ll make ‘‘em happy
You’re welcome to express emotion
A smile conveys happiness and laughter
My esteem is teetering and so
I produce smiles lacking in enthusiasm
Just Smile sweet dear child
No longer should you bare your burden
What is there for me to smile about
I must be impaired In need of inspiration
My smile is incomplete
You have to look closely
More than surface take a detour exhale that lonely breathe
The unknown arrival i must rival
The smile I attempt to wear
Just Smile

Open Up
Shine a light onto my soul; see the things that took a toll
Examine me as I truly am; this is why I built the dam.

People leave
Because you make them
Why should it matter what I do, people will always leave me
