Response from a user named No_Pineapple6086:

I saw a guy get shot in front of a pizzeria in the Bronx. A cliche, I know, but there it is.

Certain themes of conversation
Resonate around the nation -
Small contentions oft repeated
Make for altercations heated.

Let us talk of all religions -
Add a dash or half a smidgen’s
Pinch of doctrine hard to swallow -
Watch the chaos shortly follow.

Let us talk of state and power -
Add a drop of Donald’s tower,
Daily news and contradiction -
Settle back and watch the friction.

Soon you’ll find you’re off debating,
Ranting, raving, raging, hating,
Never ending,
never stopping.

… let us talk of pizza topping.

You know what you’ve done

But to say it out loud

Is too brutal a reality

It would be suicide by honesty

And you are such a coward

I remember a time when

I thought he would change

When I thought that my love

Would take his anger away

What a dangerous choice

I was willing to make

To sacrifice myself for a man

Who could never be saved

I am so tired

It doesn’t matter how much I sleep

The sadness and worry

Are too heavy for me

And everytime I put them down

To breathe a sigh of relief

I hear the sound of fear and anger

Begin to slowly creep

Was this earth not created through chaos?

Our universe makes love with the clash

Creation is the child of collision

A galaxy of grief

Atom + Eve

Here because God simply said

BE

It’s shallow
But I’m drowning
In a hate so rooted deep
I’m lost inside reflections
An uphill battle that’s too steep

Taught to battle monsters
I keep fighting them with skill
forgot to warn me that the ones inside
were not okay to kill.

Looking for all the right answers
in all the wrong places.
Looking to find myself
in everybody else’s faces.
Can’t keep praying
for what I swear I don’t need.
Can’t keep trying to understand
a book I won’t read.
I expect others to see value
in a place I never do.
I expect my plans to succeed
though I don’t think them through.
Obsessive.
Compulsive.
Right in all the wrong ways.
Seems like I’ll be stuck here choking on self-hatred
till somebody stays.

Here’s a riddle:

Many people are able to see me in themselves.

Many others ignore me.

I am a perceived strength, if you can acknowledge me.

Living without me can destroy even the most precious relationships.

People who live without me are blinded, but not with their eyes.

When you use me, I never shrink, I always grow.

When you don’t, you relinquish your power to outside forces.

A lack of my presence can not always be seen, but it is felt by everyone around.

When you consistently ignore me, you will become a victim by choice.

What am I?

Accountability.

Today I read something that said “someone who overthink is also someone who overloves” and I felt that.

Sometimes, when I say “I’m okay.” I want someone to look me in the eyes, hug me tight and say, “I know you’re not.”

The only thing that makes me a little bit happy is the Tumblr notifications.

My biggest fear is that eventually you will see me the way i see myself.

The saddest part in life is saying goodbye to someone you wish to spend your lifetime with.

You can’t put a time frame on things like these. These intangible things that slip from my grasp and wind up away from me with you, in a place that I can’t reach right now.

I’ll just keep loving you from some unreachable place.

冬天的门开着
你穿过玻璃雪地
等待窗等待风等待雨停
等待如歌
而你选择告别的阴影

云隙间传来海鸥的呼唤
你知道目的地就在身后
到达那里
则要绕地球一周

Winter left its door open
The glass pane of snow
Beckons
Some await a window
Some a certain angle of the wind
Some, the pause of the rain
Waiting is the stuff
Ballads are made of
You prefer the shadow of
Departing

Seagulls
Singsong their invitation through the clouds
You know
Your destination rests
Right behind you
Yet the journey there will take you
Around the globe and back
That
You also know

Q: What’s the most disturbing thing you’ve ever witnessed?

Here’s a riddle:

What am I?

哪一个你才是真的你

狗

日记 II

给一位友人

至少你依然愿意出现在我梦里

曾经有一条河流

无题

现状
