once upon a time...

There was once a prince who lived in a small castle on a hillside of a forgotten country. He didn't do much, but that seemed to work for that little hillside. Then, one day, for no reason, he decided to start digging under the hill. He had all the people of his tiny country help out and told them it was for the better of their people. They believed him and dug straight through.

The next day, the hill collapsed killing several of the peasants.

don't play with me, my paper heart will bleed

If it feels like fire, burns like fire, and hurts for a week because you've got third degrees, then it's probably fire.

makeshift wings won't get you far

You've built paper wings, and they seem to be carrying you far... but one day it'll rain and they'll be rendered utterly useless. That day, the world will know you were never an angel at all.

while you debate half empty or half full...

It feels like you're immersing yourself too much. Don't go too far into the deep, you never know where an undertow may be waiting to drown you.

on the state of literacy.

Sometimes, I don't think people actually read my entries. I think they look at them or skim over them, but they don't take the time to comprehend what I'm saying.

dreams that cut your voice off

Actually, it does bother me. It bothers me a lot.

That being said...

Don't tell me about what you eat. I'm not interested in your weight obsession. Don't apologize for things that you're not really sorry for or aren't going to make an effort to fix. That apology is merely rehearsed words you use to seem polite. Don't be surprised when I'm straightforward with you, you were warned. I'm surprised some of you are friends with me despite that. Don't tell me you hate something you know I love, that's just stupid and makes it look like you're trying to start shit with me.

That's all I've got for now. I'm probably just cranky from the insomnia.

My entries here seem less and less cryptic these days.

you're graceful, your grace falls.

Everyone I've ever loved has taken a part of me that I'll never get back, even if they never loved me back. Some pieces are more noticeably gone than others.

yeah i've got a lot of friends who are stars, but some are just black holes.

And who the hell are you to tell me what I need to do to achieve my dreams when, firstly, you don't have any idea what they are and, secondly, you haven't achieved your own?

life's just a pace car on death.

It's times like these that you just wonder if heaven's really that unbalanced. Why are so many souls leaving us? I've never had to deal with this much death before and it really makes you wonder if you're next.

A scary thought, that.

I have so much more that I want to accomplish.

no title

I would cry, but I can't.

on hopes and dreams

You would think that after 24 years of disappointment (that's what I am, isn't it?), I would have gotten the message that it's not worth it to get your hopes up.

The higher you get them, the more finely they shatter.

I'm such a selfish bitch. I want to disappear.
