Confession
I push people away, thinking that it will be the solution, but tonight, with the help of a gracious friend to help open my eyes, i’m starting to see that the fact that i push people away, and the fact that i don’t trust people like i do is hurting me just as much as it hurts those that I love.
Because all my life, i have felt that no one looks for me and searches for me and cares to...

When you're in love with the Light.
If you are in need, if you are weak, it’s okay. It’s a risk, but you are still a blessing, because your presence might encourage someone to fight for you, to give to you, to acknowledge their own heart, to acknowledge their humanity, to set aside their fear and apathy, to say yes to their hope for something more.
I know this because i can’t help but receive a rush of energy and...

Brothers, your sisters need your strong,...
The passivity and absence of a man is just as terrible as his violence. And i wish more guys knew. Maybe they do… and just choose to do nothing…. But, nothing hurts quiet as much as being in the presence of a man with clenched fists and crossed arms. It hurts just as much as a fist. I need the help of my brothers. All sisters need the help of their brothers. Brother, i need you. All...

i leave school in June… and i’m scared that I’ll have to move back with my parents when school ends and pressured to go to school… AGAIN… my parents who think my dreams are too radical and too ideal. I don’t want to be held back.
I wish I had a place to live.
Everyone makes me want to be a better person, including folks i don’t even know yet.
I can’t wait for you.

Love is hard.
Not only to give it, but to receive it, too.
Nevermind the complaints or the cynical remarks, for in your heart of hearts you know that the couple flaunting and the consumerism doesn’t matter. All that matters is that we all, if we are honest with ourselves, want to be loved, and to love.
Love is hard, but it is necessary if we are to live happily.
Some friends and I are going to get...

I'm learning about myself, and it's amazing.
Recently, learned that i suffer from atelaphobia. Here at school it has manifested into panic attacks and social anxiety. Atelaphobia is the fear of not being perfect, which i realized comes from living with my parents who didn’t take the time to get to know me. The girls in my study group have been so kind to help me with not worrying so much about my shortcomings. One of my pals was so...
Poem To My Valentine,
simpleandy:
Valentine, your blossoms bud Crimson crown of thorns and blood Love song of the dying Lamb All the love I’m not, I AM. Valentine, to me, your scars Look like broken prison bars Valentine, your spear-pierced side Pierced my pride. I’ll be your bride.
