Fantasy by river-of-illusion, literature

Literature

Fantasy

I have a fantasy Merely a fantasy And it goes like this: What if somebody cared? Actually cared? Could see the pain I hide? What if somebody did what I try to do? What if somebody helped me? What if somebody got me alone? And said they knew I was hurting? Asked me what was wrong? Asked me why I cried? What if someone noticed the scars? The scars I have hidden too well? What if they asked me? What if my routine lies withered and died? What if the truth flowed freely? Could they help? Would I heal? Could I leave this nightmare and fly away? Never look back? And now you see why this is a fantasy If they have not noticed the

Love the Night by river-of-illusion, literature

Literature

Love the Night

Love the night my child The night will never leave you Daytime seems so enticing But even it won't last forever And cloudy days shows the betrayal That happiness will bring Night will always be dark Night will always be cold And although it is not always desirable It is something we can cling to Friends who seemed to care about you Boys who seemed to love you The gladness that seemed to surround you They will break your bones and your heart if you let them But surround yourself with the night The gloom The sadness They will never hurt you Accept the eventual numbness It is better than the blood Accept the absence of light

Losing You by river-of-illusion, literature

Literature

Losing You

With the smile you smile Fascinating green eyes You always know what to say And yet you have chosen me The scapegoat of the school You have chosen me Next to far more prettier girls You have chosen me Why? I may never know All I know is that I can't hold on to you Your hands are like water They fall through my fingers You might fly away You put your arm around me You say its to keep me next to you So you always know where I am So you don't lose me But what is it's me who should be worrying? Worrying about losing you?

Literature

What To Do With a Drama Queen

I don't want to be that girl That girl who sits on her throne And uses everybody But I feel her voice in my head Her words bubble up in my mouth. I mirror her at my most vulnerable times I won't be that girl I won't flaunt every talent Every curve Every boy I won't be that girl I won't speak of every imperfection Find fault where I know there is none Cry eyeliner tears so the world can see the pain I've created But what do I do know? Hide myself from prying eyes? Fake a smile and feign compassion? Compress myself like a tire Until I explode You read about them in the news Kids who flipped Girls who lost it Boys who coul

Two Simple Little Words by Dog-days-are-gone, literature

Literature

Two Simple Little Words

I say those two words, And I see you drop dead, Lifeless and cold. I say those two words, And I see her jump for joy, Filled with giddy and amusement. I say those two words, And I see him laugh, Hysterical and houmor-toned. I say those two words, And I see them suprised, Wide-eyed and shaken. I say those two words, And I see everyone troubled, Question filled and minds a wonder. Then I come back to it all. You are still alive, Your face: Emotionless. She is sanding still, Her face: Emotionless. He is entierly silent, His face: Emotionless. They are calm, Their faces: Emotionless. Everyone passes by, All faces: E

This is the first time in about two years I've been logged in to my account. All I can say is, God, was I over dramatic. That is all.

I've always wanted to be stoic. So rock-solid and uncaring that nothing can phase me. People don't like me? Openly ignore me? Never invite me anywhere? What-the-fuck-ever. I don't care If I can't be stoic, I guess I want to be happy. Just self-assured and satisfied with myself. I don't need their acceptance. I don't need their friendship. I'm okay with who I am. Or if I can't be happy, I want to be likeable. Amiable. I want to be so popular that people would never dream of making plans for something I'm not invited to right in front of me. Or if I can't be likeable, I want be too stupid to realize people don't like me. Or if I cant be stu

Llama Badge

I got two llama badges from people the other day, and I was like, "Dude! Llama badges!!!" So, I went to their pages to thank them and I saw a near sea of "Thanks for the llama badge!" *sigh* It's just not special anymore.
