“You are not your pain you are pure infinity and a little more.”

How can I be brave when my insides are quaking from fighting this fear.

Hope such a fickle thing most days it keeps me going other days it pulls me apart.

Unlike you, I actually follow through when I say I will.

Even though we tried we still ended up broken shattered, scattered, glass.

Sweet oblivion please come and carry me off to freedom, at last.

Will you stay up late with me tonight? sit quietly while I write you into a piece of art that will be a marvel for the ages?

Night moon shines down on us reflecting our kindred souls colliding.

You are the season of love, light and endless grace awe excludes from you.

And I will continue to be like the sun falling yet rising every single day.

It’s too good to be true things are bound to go terribly wrong at some point – whenever things are going good for a while.

Anxiety sucks creeps its way into your brain and decides to stay.

You were enough then and you are enough now. Your pain never defined you, and never will.

Nothing is permanent not even your pain.

Many times drugs and alcohol – there’s a technical term that they’re called, emotional suppressants – are the only things that can help a person survive and get through and be able to deal with their pain.

When the music hits you, you feel no pain.

I seem to think that anything worth having in life has to be painful to attain.

I don’t go for safe options. Romantically, I go for people who are a pain in the ass.

I have never felt the pain of not being white the way I’ve felt it since I’ve been a public figure/part of this entertainment industry.

She can shake away the recent frost of misery and pain. As life takes in a vivid sense of meaning once again.
