I’ve been following her for a while. I love her poetry.
i wanted to know why the caged bird sings.. so i asked her, & in a conversation reminiscent of dreams she told me were it not for the presence of her wings she’d have forgotten what a song sounds like. what a heart beat pounds like, you see she hadn’t flown for years. but never forgot to sing…
“It has been said that time heals all wounds. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue, and the pain lessens, but it is never gone.”
— Rose Kennedy
“Sometimes the weeks fly a little too fast
And sometimes I go to sleep a little too trashed
Other times I’m not sittin’ on enough cash
And other times today feels too much like the past” —Atmosphere

“Your only as tall as your heart will let you be,
and your only as small
as the world will make you seem.
And when the going gets rough
and you feel like you may fall.
Just look on the bright side,
your roughly six feet tall.” —

“Confidence, not cockiness. Knowing who you are is confidence. Cockiness is knowing who you are and pushing it down everyones throat”

“I know that you didn’t mean it and I know that you think saying sorry will make it better, but that’s not how the world works. It’s an imperfect world and feelings just don’t go away that fast. So either you never really loved me or you’re just hiding it because you’re scared. Well let me tell you, hiding something will get you nowhere and lying sure as hell won’t make you happy so go ahead and leave me but in the end you will see your mistake and come back. But you know what? I won’t be here.”
