When I was five, I'd look up at the sky
to wish on the first star I saw every night.
My sister was never cured.
When I was eighteen, I used to ask,
Why do bad things happen to good people?
Now I find myself thinking,
Why do good things happen to bad people?
This isn't a half empty, half full thing,
because no matter what,
the glass is never complete.
Life is incomplete.
It's half-baked, medium-rare, half full and yet half empty.
It's shit and it treats us like such.
I want to rip apart my pillows and toss them in the air,
watch feathers fall gracefully under the heavy gravity of this defective world,
because that's how it must look when we're falling.
That's what life does -- it pulls us down,
makes us struggle to stay afloat in a viscous sea.
So if you lose the will to fight against it,
just know that I'll be at the bottom,
to catch you before you break like I did,
when the my world fell.

I live
I live
At least for now
Life is cruel
And harsh
But I keep surviving
And hoping
Hoping for a better world

just a girl. (who doesn't know she's beautiful)
she's one of those kind of girls:
the ones that throw back
shot-glasses on Tuesday evening
wishing they were
bullets
only to wake up
with the room waltzing
and realise it's now
Friday,
but join the dance
anyway - her
lips are painted crimson
so they don't see where
the lipstick ends and
where the blood begins;
designer clothes disguise
the black and blue
bruises and so-and-so
is always claiming to
have slept with her
last week;
the billboards tell her
how she should be beautiful:
with sticking-out ribs,
hollow bones and
a body that is
photoshopped to fit in
and
she's just one of those
kind of girls,
the one on the train
or on the bus bu

dedicated to literally all my friends who had crappy weeks and one friend in particular who has honestly been through more than you could probably imagine and has stayed strong throughout it all. She's a role model for my in particular and just a loving person who deserves the best.
And if the world isn't going to be nice to people, then I just wanna do my best to try and treat people as best I can granted they don't abuse that kindness. You know, saying something nice to someone can really go a long way. I hope people treat you as well as you treat them because you're all incredibly amazing people.
Thank you so much for reading and wishing you all a great day/night!
