Cleaning my room, reading, the Internet and chatting with people

Sometimes I will listen to music, pick up the phone and talk to a friend, but most of the time I find that writing down what I feel inside does best for me. Usually comes in some type of poem or jumbled thoughts.


I am perfectly imperfect, beautiful in my flaws, chaotic, fearless...a beautiful disaster.

I went outside and sat by our creek. It has a little waterfall, and it's so relaxing. ♥

My brother wanted to sleep in my bed last night. I obviously wasn't going to cut when he was in the room. But I took out a blade and just stared at it for some reason; I glanced over at my brother and put it down. I don't want him to lose his innocence.

I read some messages from people on a writing site that I use. They told me that I have a lot of talent and that I'm an inspiration. That made me feel good

I called my friend and listened to how proud of me that she was for being nearly seven weeks SH free. But seriously, if my brother wasn't in the room I would have done something.

Playing video games literally all day with my best friend.


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first


The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
