We always find something to talk about
And when we don’t
We just look at
Each other
I like the way your pixelated self
Looks at my pixelated self

When I’m in company
I have a habit of imagining
How they probably see me
It’s like taking a mental picture
Of myself
With the camera being the eyes
Of my counterpart
Does that one strand fall into my face
The way I know it looks best?
Is my laughter contagious?
Are my eyes sparkling?
Do I look pretty from their point of view?
Why the fuck don’t I concentrate
On my own fucking view

You see,
I don’t think you need to fight
Anymore
That doesn’t mean giving up
It means
Befriending the enemy
They say there’s just a thin line Between love and hate
Stop the gunfire
And cross it
-a peace offering to myself-

“What does it feel like?“
“It’s like wanting to exit
Out of your body
And leave it behind
Even though you know
It’s your mind.“

Loving myself today
Took my heart into my hands
And kissed it

It can be
A place
A sensation
A song
A person
A season
A venture
…
I think it’s the overall feeling of
A rrival

When do you feel like you’ve arrived?

Escape?
The urge to run
Is confronted by
The will to stay
Strong
Stronger
Breaking.
Becomes mending
Accepting
Becomes healing
After the finish line
Comes

Was I inspired
Or am I just imitating
Is this something I’m really good at
Or am I just following a trend
Do my words mean anything to others
Or are they just stupid

Sometimes
Life teaches you the same lesson
Over and over
Again
In various different forms
When will you decide
To finally learn from it?

What is something you’ve been taught a million times but still struggle to understand?
