i <i> WILL </i> learn “i thank You God for this most amazing day”
iWILL. if i ever get famous, it’ll be one of those poems that i’ll recite every once in a while at a shindig, or whatever poetry concerts are called. (the word’s escaping me right now…).
An Open Letter to Tim O’Brien in Response to “The Lives of the Dead” in The Things They Carried. [First Draft]
empty words on a blank page,
white fill, stroke 0pts no longer.
the story set alive by the fire on your fingertips,
by the fire on your heart,
i burned the day she died.
Tim, you were in love,
and that’s all you knew.
but her story isn’t gone,
you wrote her again,
she’s not stuck in the library,
she’s in the heart of those thousands,
no,
millions
of pairs of eyes,
she’s here, Tim.
she’s in all of our bones.
putting off a vital project for school like it’s my job.

an explanation of nerds that’s semi accurate?
works for me…

This is brilliant :)
thank you! i’m so happy that you’re able to connect, and (here comes the selfish part) that’s it’s not just me who feels these kinds of emotions!
do you ever want to slap yourself in the face because you know you should be doing something productive but instead you choose to sit in front of a laptop for hours on end doing shit that has no beneficial impact on your life and this just happens day after day after day and still you refuse to accept the fact that you have a problem
ALL DAY EERRYYYYYYY DAYYYYYYY

i thought i could be an activist.
i watched KONY 2012 and got pissed.
then i researched Invisible Children Inc. and pissed.
then i realize that’s what i’ll always be,
a person looking for something to be pissed about,
and once i do, i find what’s wrong with the cause.
usually, i’m the flop that follows the flip,
but sometimes, i’m the flip that precedes the flop.
i was a flip for KONY,
and now i’m a flop for OBEY.
now, i’m a flop for ending the death penalty.
but better late than never?
the problem with the OBEY movement,
is that when i was talking about buying a pack of their stickers,
my parents asked me what it really stood for.
i tried to explain
it’s brainwash,
it’s the corruption of our minds, the complacency of our actions and thoughts.
but i could only get the first bit out,
before my parents stomped the flame of the moment.
right now, there’s no end to that story,
but sooner or later,
i’ll grow, once again,
complacent about the issue.
who knows what i’ll embody next.
more importantly,
who’ll care?
there, there, darling.
the day troubles you to no end, and the nights only hold audience to your fears,
it’s ok.
it’s ok.
the light can be your guide, and the dark can be your blanket,
just let it subside, and let your brain empty the thought-water bucket,
it’s time, it’s late,
the hour is digging its grave,
and the time left for today is rapidly slipping away,
count the numbers backwards,
starting from a point,
infinite in space, finite in thought.
we’re all tired.
we’ve all had the flames flickering around the room stretch and grow a hundred feet and lie flat,
the visions creeping along the edges of ours,
but first,
you must sleep,
you must take your time,
to relax,
and let the fear fall away as you let your mind’s eye filter the filing cabinets,
this is important.
this is vital
this is human kind,
this is what we are,
so sleep,
sleep child, man, woman, being, animal,
we’re tired.
we’re all tired.
but before we fall into the folds of our brains, let me say,
be happy.
know that i love you,
that i could never hate you,
any anger i held toward you at all today has subsided,
it’s been whittled away by a sore conscious, also in need of a clean filter…
good night my love.
it’s been a pleasure,
and a wonder,
getting to know all that you are.
good night.
If I can get 1000+ notes on this I wont kill myself tomorrow
I know I wont cause no one cares.

This is lovely!
golly gee, thanks! haha
and suddenly my heart was on fire,
i thought my eyes were crumbling to stone,
her beauty was beyond measure,
but somehow it’s measurable,
nowadays,
in ways we could never understand.
the way she knows she’s pretty,
in the box that’s full,
in the praise thrown to the air,
accolades from a people desperate for her attention.
i hold no animosity towards her.
only jealousy.
the wanton cruelty that i enforce upon myself,
i can’t post pictures like you can,
and i can’t seem to grab the attention of the masses like you can,
but if i can grab your attention,
what does that say about me?
