Why is it
that I write
on the nights
that hurt the
heart
the most?

I'm not sure
I even have
anything
to say.

Perhaps
I am
asking too much.

Is it too much
to ask
for the recognition?

Too much

I think I need a vacation from life. I'm not sure what this looks like, but I definitely want to not be around people for awhile. I seriously feel like I might just snap. And, I'm afraid that it would not be good ( Read more... )

I'm reading a book for fun. I know, I know, it's somewhere between admitting something naughty and telling you I'm blowing off the rest of my life. But, I'm finding sustenance in this book, a sort of qualifyer about my life ( Read more... )
