She tried treating
her insomnia
with
shots of Nyquil,
hoping her
nostalgia-filled nightmares
would become dreams
and she'd drowsily awaken
with a couple shots
of fireball whiskey,
hoping the
burn in her throat
could replace
the burn in
her heart
it's now
mid-day,
and she's choking on
tear-filled
memories-
does she really
think
a bottle of
cough syrup
will fix her?
If you were to kill an artist's will,
You would be killing their skill.
If you were to kill an artist's skill,
You would be crushing their soul.
If you were to crush an artist's soul,
You would cripple their emotional being.
If you were to cripple an artist's emotional being,
You would be shredding their self-worth.
If you were to shred an artist's self worth,
You would be killing the artist themself.
If you were to kill an artist themself,
You would be a murderer.
If you were to kill an artist in any way possible, through telling them that they aren't good enough, through telling them they should give up, through telling them they'll never
What do you believe in? by analovecatdog, literature

What do you believe in?
Do you believe in God .I do. If you dont believe in God believe in yourself and love. Love can heal many wounds. Do you believe in hell. To me it is a state of mind but evil does exist . Do you believe in heaven. I do. We all shine on like the beautiful stars . The question is what did you do with your life?
Did you make a difference to someone. Money cant buy love but love can move mountains. Do you have faith in anything. Have faith in the power within your heart. Do you have hope? Hope for peace. Hope for a better world. I am a dreamer but I am unique. Think life is short friends . I i will live it each moment every second with awe

five things they don't teach you in highschool
1.
it's okay to fall in love.
i mean, they tell you you're never going
to marry your high school sweetheart and i'm not going
to tell you it's a lie
because it's not. you guys will probably
break up and it's gonna hurt like hell
but you'll be okay. remember, you are not the only one
who has felt loneliness like a knife,
the only one to know the pain of lungs collapsing
because they were your air,
and you will never be the only one who whispered
"i love you" two lives too soon.
you will not be the last one to have tucked
hair behind their ear and leaned in for a kiss
or the last one to wake up reaching for a hand that's no longer there.

If I were to die tomorrow...
Would you acknowledge my existence as, anything worthy...
In that scorn in your eyes...
In those moments you shake your head in dismay...
In those times you watched me shatter into pieces...
But never bothered to put me back together?
Sometimes I wonder...

Insanity needs company
and now I’m stuck here,
pondering,
how the walls became
a veiny sight-
(could the cause be me calling out
your name
in the middle of the night?)
and alone I stand here,
wondering,
how my feet got
nailed upon this floor-
(do you hold my ankles
like an anchor
does the shore?)
and I know it’s been thirteen years
since you were here at all,
according to the hash marks
carved upon
the wooden wall
but I can’t
let go
of our memories,
that haunt
me everyday
so for now,
I’ll let the doc declare:
Insanity needs company.
Dear me, I know we've had disagreements
And that we don't always see eye to eye,
But the last thing I want for you
Is to feel like you have to say goodbye.
Dear me, I know you've been hurting a while
And I know that you're sick of the misery,
But just keep holding on a day at a time
And someday you'll find yourself set free.
Dear me, I know you've been crying.
I've seen your demons give chase.
Smile instead for things will get better.
Wipe those tears off your pretty face.
Dear me, I know your heart is breaking,
Like your being is shattered in two,
But please, don't give up just yet.
The survival rate is too few.
Dear me, I see that
