"I’ll let you fall asleep on my shoulder

so I can capture your last breaths in a jar."
-Maggie R


They trimmed her hair,
coloured her shirt,
switched her shoes
and sewed her lips together.

"Now just be yourself, ok?"

Life isn't measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.

You are only as strong as your weakest link.

I love the irony in this poem, and of how people change you, yet expect you to still be yourself. Wonderful job!
