"You have 3 days to be sad. 3 days to dwell in what you did and didn’t do. 3 days to remember all..."
“You have 3 days to be sad. 3 days to dwell in what you did and didn’t do. 3 days to remember all those good times and all those bad times. 3 days to stay in bed, watch TV, binge on junk food and not care about the world outside. But once those 3 days are over, you have to start living again. Open your blinds, take a long shower, dress up even if you have nowhere to go. Because once those 3 days are over and the sadness you felt and still may feel has had its way, you have to get up. Because I’m going to tell you the truth, and it’s only because I love you, that no one outside of these windows and this town are going to stop living because you feel like you should. So get up and join them. Just because he says he doesn’t want you anymore doesn’t mean that no one else does.”

"In a room full of men
and all I can see is you,
even though you are not here.
I can feel you next..."
“In a room full of men
and all I can see is you,
even though you are not here.
I can feel you next me,
can hear the words you would
whisper if you could only see
what I am seeing.
These are the kind of men
that we scorn at.
The kind who think
that if a girl smiles their way
it means that they want them,
even though they are only
being polite. Two of these
men have already asked me
my age, my sign, a number
that they could reach me at.
They ask if I’m taken, if I’m in love.
Every answer is a lie,
a reply with a sarcastic
undertone that none can detect
because the vodka has already
taken over their common sense.
A lie, I say that my name is Jennie.
A lie, I say that I am an Aries.
A lie, I give them my ex’s number.
The only truth, yes I am in love.”

I tried explaining to my parents that people can't just "turn" gay or "convert" themselves. All they did was laugh at me and said I was too young to understand that they're abnormal. I can't deal with this homophobic family. They're the reason why I feel s
Some people / parents just don’t understand and most likely never will. It’s ridiculous and hurtful but it happens. If you’re trying to come out yourself, I would keep trying to inform them. But if they just won’t understand, you may not even want to bring it up. It’s one of those subjects that’s really hard to come to a reason. My mother used to think that way, never in a funny way, until my twin came out as being gay so she had to accept it. Either accept it or not have him in her life. I’m sorry that this is happening to you and if you want to talk about this more, please message me off of anonymous. I hope you’re feeling okay.

"Being near you isn’t enough.
I want more, I need more,
I yearn for more.
I’m always, always..."

Being near you isn’t enough.
I want more, I need more,
I yearn for more.
I’m always, always thinking
about ways that I can get closer,
feel you more than in just one way.
You are the drug that I fiend.
The drug that I don’t need
a doctors appointment
or prescription to obtain.
A drug with no harmful
side effects but with an
addiction that I must fill.
So please, come here,
come closer, get comfortable.
Because there is no way
that I will ever let you go.

“I’m waiting for you to realize
that you messed up and for you
to come back to me
with apologizes written on
your hands and your lips.
I’m waiting for you to tell me
that I have always been the one
you’ve wanted but have been
to eager for life to start to see.
I’m waiting for you to make me
your everything, or at least
something that is too good
for you to leave behind.
But knowing you,
I’ll be waiting for a long time.”

"Smoking cigarettes

“Smoking cigarettes
does not mean that you
will rid of their toxic love
by inhaling something
more deadly.
Drinking alcohol
does not mean that you
will forget their face
by taking more shots
and then blacking out.
Smoking weed
does not mean that you
will erase their lingering presence
by fogging up your mind
and forgetting about
their words for a moment.
Because even if it helps
for an hour, for a day,
for the night, their memory
will somehow still be there
when you start to down buzz
and or wake up hungover.”
