    Mother Teresa

    “If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal who hasn't done anything? They should use prisoners who have been convicted of murder or rape instead.

    “I sit before flowers
    hoping they will train me in the art
    of opening up

    I stand on mountain tops believing
    that avalanches will teach me to let go

    I know
    nothing

    but I am here to learn.”

    Shane L. Koyczan
    “I've been told
    that people in the army
    do more by 7:00 am
    than I do
    in an entire day

    But if I wake
    at 6:59 am
    and turn to you
    to trace the outline of your lips
    with mine
    I will have done enough
    and killed no one
    in the process.”
    Shane Koyczan

    Shane L. Koyczan
    “And you are worth the time it takes to take the time to get to know you. We've managed to muttle through the awkward stage of i like you and you like me, but when we both finally said 'yes' life became a multiple choice test, not knowing anything we became each others best guess. and, holding your hand is less like exploration and more like discovery. lady, i don't have to study you to be sure. you're the choice i made before i knew what the other choices were”

    Shane L. Koyczan
    “And as for romance? Well, I want that too.
    I want to fall asleep next to you, 100 times a night,
    so I can know you 100 times better before we hit the day light. And despite all of this,
    I also want amnesia so I can relive each kiss with a perfect newness
    that leaves me smashed in the arms of rapture. I want the sky to fracture under
    the impossible weight of an apology because I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I want so much.
    I'm sorry that I'm using "I'm sorry" as a crutch to lean on for so long
    but if you sing me that song of sweet logic again then I promise to make the effort
    to stand on my own. There is a reason that our hearts are more like a muscle
    and less like a bone. I've known so many people who've have grown up flexing
    in front of mirrors and falling for their own reflection as if that's adequate but that's bullshit.
    Because we only get now until the time we go and if they've only got time to love themselves
    then nobody is going to be around to hear the sound of their heartbeat echo.
    So lady, don't expect an apology when I tell you I'm only held together
    by a heart that pumps blue, it's the strongest muscle in my body and I'm flexing it for you”

    “but I want to tell them
    that all of this shit
    is just debris
    leftover when we finally decide to smash all the things we thought
    we used to be
    and if you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself
    get a better mirror
    look a little closer
    stare a little longer
    because there’s something inside you
    that made you keep trying
    despite everyone who told you to quit
    you built a cast around your broken heart
    and signed it yourself
    you signed it
    “they were wrong”
    because maybe you didn’t belong to a group or a click
    maybe they decided to pick you last for basketball or everything
    maybe you used to bring bruises and broken teeth
    to show and tell but never told
    because how can you hold your ground
    if everyone around you wants to bury you beneath it
    you have to believe that they were wrong

    they have to be wrong”
    Shane Koyczan

    Shane L. Koyczan
    “What I said was
    I’ll miss you
    what I meant to say was
    I love you
    what I wanted to say was
    that I meant what I said
    and it’s funny
    how all those things I
    could have said
    flooded my head after we said goodbye
    and I should have told you
    I’d be willing to hold you
    until my flesh crumbles into bone
    because I’m willing to die alone
    but god knows I don’t want to live that way.”
    Shane Koyczan

    Jeaniene Frost
    “If I die, I will wait for you, do you understand? No matter how long. I will watch from beyond to make sure you live every year you have to its fullest, and then we’ll have so much to talk about when I see you again… (Bones)”
    Jeaniene Frost
