i want to write something so beautiful it will literally take all the poison and weakness out of my bloodstream and negate it, change it, into something pure
i want people to smile and shake and feel alive and loved and apprecaite all the good moments and the memories and say thank you, just thank you for this unforgettable ride
i hate feeling so trapped and worthless
inside, at the heart center, i envision the faintest traces of light
if i wanted, and i mean really truly fully wanted, i could be an incredible person
i need to get motivated
stop with the excuses
stop with the pity
there is a girl who died and i made her a promise that i haven't been keeping
i swore i wouldnt cry anymore about my own life
because this is a world where seventeen year old girls can die doing nothing wrong
and the only way i can think of to counteract something so fucked
is to smile
to have good energy and light and to help others see it
i am rainbow trapped inside a canyon
there is so much of me that wishes to give and love and change
but its all blocked out by the parts that are afraid
i am not sure i can handle so much empathy
i dont want to hurt
and wasting time alone the way i do makes me safe
because without other people there's nothing dark and unfamiliar to deal with
but i feel so deflated
i am better than this
there is no me, as a seperate entity
there is only the human condition
time to melt into a collective consciousness
enough with the i
enought with bruises
smile until our cheeks hurt
laugh until we're convinced the sadness was a dream
this is what it is to be alive in america in the 21st century
and everyday we're making history
believebelievebelive
change is hard
but its definitely possibly
so here i go
ready to try
we all fade sometimes i believe
