“I can’t cry, I’m too anxious / restless mind, I can’t shake this / said I’m fine, but we both know I’m faking / I’m not feeling numb / I’m just feeling everything at once” - everything at once by Mothica.

“How many times can I break til I shatter?” Shattered by O.A.R.

…you were my sun, and I stared straight into you, squinting, like I wanted you to be the last thing I ever saw.

excerpts from forgotten journals ~2010

“Grew up so afraid of all these bed time stories / read them like a warning / forever wasn't for me / 'til I met you” - Bedtime Stories by Mothica.

“Camouflage so I can feed the lie that I'm composed” - Whispers by Halsey.

Halsey concert tomorrow. I am so excited that I’m shaky.

The Listening by Lights stuck in my head today.

Lose yourself
to come to yourself.

The bitter fact of life you have to deal with my son is that not all the days are before Sunday.

To all the poets there:
Honesty, humility, heart, sincerity, sacrificing for others and truth, resilience yet acceptance, …
are what inspirations are made of.
