So Yesterday…
So yesterday, I had so much free time before class started. I began to pace back and forth in one place of the hallway, listening to music. That I don't often blast through the speakers when I'm home alone. Long story, short. I wrote a few poems about "blind love" in my journal. xo

When I'm listening to music, I always tend to daydream and lines of poetry just pops into my head. One of the lines that's been stuck in my head is "Don't need no diamond ring. I just need you, baby." xo

Goodbye Butterfly
Art by Anna Pishko Before he calls me up... Before he makes up lies... Before he wants to ask me... I just want him to know Darling, I can see through him I see through his "pain" And that's not okay He pretended to suffer on a cross Because I was actually right He cried [...]
He Said
Photo found on Google He threw me into a riot That left me badly bruised. He burnt me into a fire That got me screaming. He went around saying That I was delusional When I've created A universe in my head. He said that I was crazy But honey, I'm only me. He said that [...]
Lavenders
Photo found on Google Lavenders are the roses of the French. It can be scattered like starlight. Though mystical and beautiful, It can't be a wish for a million dreamers.
