There are so many things I want to say to you. I wish I could just sit down with you for hours and describe to you every moment I've lived, every feeling I've felt, and every thought that's ever passed through my mind. You would insert randomly a story, a comment, a sarcastic remark. And when it was time for one of us to leave, we would still have so much left unsaid. But between our departure and our reunion the next day, more would be experienced. More would be felt and more would be thought about. We'd never have enough time to say everything, but, somehow, nothing in the end would ever go unsaid. Nothing important, anyway. But now you are thousands of miles away. You are an ancient photograph that is fading in my memory. I know you exist, but sometimes all I can see are the letters of your name forming in my head. The syllables touch my lips from the inside, but I am scared to release the sounds to the world. I am scared to bring you to life because I know that you will become

I can make people on the outside
Think I know what I am doing
I can pose myself an artist
Whose passion keeps on burning
I can learn what they want
And follow their rules
Pretend to get ahead
CHORUS
Hit me in the gut
You've fallen short of our expectations
Got me dreaming of
The things I don't wanna start
They say I should see myself better
Don't they think I'd ever
Have the self confidence I shourld
But only if I see myself bad
Could the world see something good

Forget, people on the outside,
My past I've left in ruin
Think I've changed for the better
But I don't know what I'm doing

I have my own reality.
My own sources that exist soley within my memory and my feelings and my
brain chemicals and neuron fires..
Some people need a history book or
a news article to remember it. Not saying I don’t read those too, but
nothing quite strikes the reality of that day the way
those opening chords do.
Even ten years later
Honey look home
Only they know who you are
Covered in chains that look like art
And cuts that burn like stars
Honey look home
It doesn't matter what they wrote
Hidden behind their walls of smoke
You've got a story of your own
I wish I could say
Even if the world hates you
It doesn't matter
But I would be a hypocrite
How do I tell you
When I'm scared to speak to you
And of what you'll think
It doesn't matter
If the world hates me
It only matters
That you don't
You're still waiting
For your life to be won
But you've gotten used to
Falling in love
I wish I could know
What that feels like
Got the world on my shoulders
I'm sure people care
But I can't see their face
See them anywhere
I wish I could know
What they look like

you don't want to be a waterfall by Khaimin, literature
Literature
you don't want to be a waterfall
it's a certain kind of people that when you hurt them it's like the world ends,
tears crashing like waves on a sandy shore of dry
cheeks and angry lips. they break your heart like
they broke your soul, no sense of self left for the person they used to be,
used to seem to be when they were all butterflies and rainbows
shattered by a storm, non-stop anger.
some people are like waterfalls, crashing - loud - ringing - in - your - ears noise all around,
shrouded in mist and fighting over everything for time
to keep ticking no matter what might be happening
in the back of their head, fighting for you and them
and the whole fucking world. some

i can't promise you anything.
i made a mistake
when i told you that i could love you
forever. i know now that the only thing
i can know for certain is that nothing
will ever be certain again. we could
wake up tomorrow and feel something
completely different. we could wake up
tomorrow and be completely different.
that's the exciting part. it's also the
part that makes it hard to even fall asleep
in the first place.
my heart attacks
my every whim and everyday is this whirlwind
of terror and elation and i don't even know
where to end or begin or if this makes sense
anymore, but the one thing i've come to realize
is the worst kind of lie will always be

haze
without knowing where i stood, snow

The Siren by the Pier
My grandfather tells a story of when he was a young fisherman often. It begins with him waking early reaching the pier as the fog hung in the air. Barley beyond the age of boyhood but still a man in many ways.
He says as he untied the ropes he heard a song. Lovelier than the sun rising over the Earth. It transfixed him, beads of sweat began to drip on his forehead. Just as he decided he could not survive unless he found the sound it stopped. Days went on. He would arrive early each day hoping to catch a glimpse of whatever had sang that song.
One day a storm hit. Horrible from nowhere. The wind whipped around t

This many stanzas
That many lines
Twelve point font
And constant rhyme
Don't write too much,
Don't write too harsh,
And don't forget to smile--
...
What are you doing?
Hiding behind that computer screen
Typing and typing and never noticing
You're not typing words.
Pages full of letters, sentences, paragraphs,
But all your words have run away.
Run after them.
And write.
Just write.
Just write.
Just run.
Flying pencil,
Catching breath,
Trembling hands
Don't think.
Don't hesitate.
Write.
Don't fear the dramatic.
Say what you mean.
You're not just sad,
Your world is falling apart.
Say so.
Say so and run on.
I’m not that girl,
The one you see sitting in the back,
Listening intently as the teacher rambles on.
I’m not that girl,
That is already done with homework,
Five minutes after getting the assignment.
I’m not that girl,
That flaunts her 100 on a test,
By letting the teacher compare everyone’s to hers.
I’m not that girl,
That has a perfect life,
And everything is going perfectly for her.
That’s not me.
I’m that girl,
That will smile at you to cheer you up then goes and hides,
In the bathroom so you don’t see my tears.
I’m that girl,
That tries hiding under her desk from embarrassment
But i love you
Will you be there when i die
kiss me one final time
catch me when i fall and bleed
would you even wanna cry
while you watch me slowly die
watching as my blooddrips
rolling off my finger tips
drips onto the floor
making puddles
more and more
hearing all my bloody cries
watch tears roll from my eyes
gasping for one final breath
pain swells up in my chest
spreading through my arms and legs
numb
but i can still feel pain
i try to regret nothing
but that is so hard to do
when all i hear is
"but i love you"
So today I decided to find all these little poems that I wrote in less than ten minutes at a time (mostly in Chemistry class) and post them. What else am I supposed to do with them? I guess I should keep some to myself, but after I posted 10 or so, I just kind of got addicted. I'm sure there are plenty of poems stuffed downstairs or in my basement that will be reserved. I guess you could call this my way of procrastinating studying for chemistry...which means procrastinating on being inspired to write more poems. :D
I'm really looking forward to the day when I have absolutely nothing to do (like that's gonna happen) and I can just sit down a
I seriously have a ton of writing to do. Lucky for me, there are still almost two weeks left of summer. Actually, that is a little unfortunate. I haven't had time to work on much until this week.
Gosh, who knew writing involved so much research?!?! I guess that's why I like it though; I get to live and know at least three lives/passions whenever I want to. I can choose what to experience, what to live. I'll always have to face the hard scenes of my stories, of course (unless my dear, dear flash drive unexpectedly goes missing), but I can work on another scene of another story if the other is too much. Ha. Even writers without a set schedule
Nunca olvidas 11-M
Never forget 11-M
For those of you who don't know, on March 11, 2004, thousands were injured and 191 innocent people died when four trains were blown up by terrorists during the morning commute in Spain. It was bascially Spain's 9-11, but they call it 11-M But if that still doesn't mean anything to you, look up "Jueves" by La Oreja de Van Gogh.
