Here we are. Home sweet home. What’s mine is yours.
Another day, a different hour, take a left and not a right, you’d wind up a whole different being. Knowing if that would be better requires a realm of experience only decades can build.
Losing Grandma, just when I’d found her again. A waterfall of flowers brightened her funeral, but they couldn’t disguise the stench of death.
As long as I could forever stay his little princess.
Anger is easier than forgiveness.
I don’t need more pain in my life. Why did I invite it in? Do I have to feel pain to believe I feel anything at all?
Life is all about change. If it were static, think about how boring it would be. You can’t be afraid of it, and you can’t worry that you’ll mess things up. You deserve good things, and I want to be one of them.

Only by confronting your demons can you ever hope to conquer them.
Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia.
I hate this feeling. Like I’m here, but I’m not. Like someone cares. But they don’t. Like I belong somewhere else, anywhere but here, and escape lies just past that snowy window, cool and crisp as the February air.

Anger is a valid emotion. It’s only bad when it takes control and makes you do things you don’t want to do.
Or might the soul clone itself, create a perfect imitation of something yet to be defined? In this way, can a reflection be altered?
I want the part of you that you refuse to give.
When you’ve only got one little shimmer of sunshine, you capture it best you can.
