breaking hearts at such an hourly rate.  
She’s a beauty he says. Look at her. So, uncracked, so perfect.
Her life must be great, he says, I don’t know what she sees in me.
Well, let me clarify something, she’s not perfect,
& her cracks are hidden behind a false smile,
her life is only great cause she has you,
& in you, she sees love.  
Every 18 minutes someone in the U.S dies by suicide.
Every 19 minutes someone is left to make sense of it. 
Optimistic people are here to keep
the pessimistic from wallowing in misery.
Pessimistic people are here to remind
the optimistic of a little fact called reality.

Remember when…
getting high meant swinging at a playground?
When the worst thing you could get from boys
were cooties? When mom was your hero and
dad was the man you were going to marry? When
your worst enemies were your siblings? When race issues were about who ran the fastest?
When war was a card game? When life was simple
and carefree? Remember when we said,
”I can’t wait to grow up!”? 
I want to be the girl he
yells out in the hallway saying,
"I love you babe."
Not caring who hears it;
But just cares if I do. 
When a guy tells you that you're hot;
he is looking at your body.
When a guy tells you that you're pretty;
he is looking at your face.
When a guy tells you that you're beautiful;
he is looking at your heart. 
it was time to go home,
to go home without each other.
i said i love you,
he said the same.
i said call me when you miss me,
he smiled and kissed me.
i walked towards my car,
and my phone rang. 
I’d rather be a bitch than a hoe
rather tell it like it is
than blow every boy i know
rather be known for what i do
not who i screw
wish i could say
the same about you 
Being perfect
is okay for Barbie,
but try to remember
she ended up with a guy
who has plastic balls. 
I'll tell you what the end of the world will be like,
absolute chaos. It will be like a final moment both
terrible & heartbreaking, people running as fast as
they have before. Cars will fill every highway,
phone lines backed up, thumbs texting like rapid fire
& fingers flying over keyboards, people cramming
themselves into airplanes & subways all trying to
tell someone else they love them. It's not the end
of the world yet but don't wait until then to tell her,
the worst thing isn't the end of the world, it's what
you didn't say when you had the chance. 
Beauty is a curse on the world.
It keeps us from seeing who
the real monsters are. 
Don't settle for the one who kisses your ass.
Wait for the one who pushes your buttons
and pisses you off on a daily basis. Love isn't
suppose to be easy, it's suppose to be worth it |
