Perfect: (adjective) entirely without flaws, defects or shortcomings; to make flawless or faultless.
-Dictionary.com
The meaning of the word is subjective, we all have our own ideas of perfection. In today’s media, perfection is flawless skin, hair without a strand out of place, thinner than a ‘normal’ person. That’s what we strived for.
It was midsummer, maybe in July, and we had been bored, sitting in Her room talking about the upcoming school year and what we would do with it. Somehow, it made sense at the time for the two of us to try and be those movie teenagers who were ‘cool’ and ‘pretty.&rs
I don’t know why I refuse to get over him. Maybe it’s the sense that he’s the one that got away, maybe it’s because I still have feelings. Anyway, it’s been three years, and I just realised there’s something wrong about this. I have friends who hate him, the others don’t care. Maybe it’s my renowned stubbornness. Maybe I’m being stubborn about him the same way I was stubborn with him all those months ago. Maybe I’m just stupid, and foolish for holding on to something that has no hope, a plane that would never fly, a business that would never take off.
Maybe it’s because I&rsqu
You know how it is to hear people talk about you as if you weren’t there?
Your mother complaining about you to your friend’s mother, all the while saying that she’d rather have your friend as a daughter. Your mother complaining to your father about your lack of family affection. Your mother complaining to your far-too-young brother, and saying that he’s better.
And it’s stupid, don’t you think, that they never consider that you are not affectionate with them for a reason? That it’s because of them saying that you were never wanted, and never would be good enough?
That’s the thing, after you l
I’m scared that I didn’t really like him, just the idea of him.
The idea that there was someone who was as… weird and messed up as I was… someone who couldn’t sleep at night. And maybe that was our problem. I used to know how I felt, but then I read this thing about being in love with a shadow, which is being in love with someone who’s not real, and it got me thinking. We talk, but what if I was so focused on the things that we had in common, the things that I loved about him, and couldn’t see what others hated about him. We had eachother at night, which sounds wrong. But there was no one else aroun
Time has passed us by
Same three girls asking why
Never good enough
White Swan
Black Swan
Pink Swan
Same three girls that grew up
Past picnics and dolls
Staying up laughing and crying
If time could stop for us now
we'd be frozen in this moment
But time and tide stop for no man
And we must run
Run before we can walk
Scared to fall.
Pulling each other away from the cliff
or rooftop
or coming train
Holding on to that time
But time has passed us by
I just want to lie here with you
Starry skies and
Lips that taste of candy floss
Steady breathing and sweet dreams
Honey lemon
Warm and safe
A home to go to
A refuge from the world
everything about you was like a train
pulling us in like a drain
running, running, through the tracks
ignoring all those who ask
stop for all who've paid the fee
but will close on the count of three
move on taking all the best
leaving behind all the rest
and I'll be running after you
you'll ignore the rocks I just threw
I'll be calling out, screaming your name
but for all it's worth, I may as well chase trains
