“I want to hear your secrets, to learn their weight, and bare them as my own.”

It seems strange how we look in the same mirror, yet what stares back, is so painfully different.

These empty halls are crowded, this silence is too loud. Shadows they call out, now i’ve lost what once was found.

You cannot force a vine to grow the fruit of an apple tree, for the sake of your love of apples. What fruit can it possibly bear?

My blood is fifty percent alcohol the other half was you.

Now i’m like you, just a memory floating across, this now foreign land.

You’re my bad habit, on this dark planet, light up my world like stars, now they’re ashes.

I don’t want to forget you, even though its best to, now you’re just the empty space, in my bedroom.

Contemplate your own mortality daily, then see how much we must change.

My closest friend is myself, although he may lie to me, at least i know the lies to be true.

Of all the roses in the bush, you have the sharpest thorns.

I revel in the solace found when gold rays caress your sleeping face. Blissfully unaware of the beauty they’re revealing.

A cherry blossom refusing to bow to the seasons; fighting off frozen winds fiercely, for it knows the power held in the beauty, of its bloom.

You are a drug that my blood forgot, it needed.

Be awesome! Be a book nut!

I think you accidentally learn things in high school that turn out to be life lessons when you are able to step back a bit and study them in more depth.

The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve learned that I have to open myself up to all opportunities. Maybe I’ll get burned and not meet the right people, but I won’t know until I do it.

When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now.

The best way of learning about anything is by doing.

We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world.

You can not live at all if you do not learn to adapt yourself to your life as it happens to be.

Stay mad, but behave like normal people. Run the risk of being different, but learn to do so without attracting attention.
