Favorite Quote:
“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
― Bob Marley


I carry myself with head held high, unknowing

Of what is to come
The future so shaky, unstable,
It scares me
People look at me
They see, they judge
But the scars on my wrists are just this
A representation of who I am and who I was


I carry myself with my shoulders back
I don’t let myself hide within me
Let it fly at me with unnerving speed, but please
Don’t let life be easy


I walk through the streets with my eyes wide
Open, even though I do not see


I carry myself day by day, night by night
Not understanding, just living
Breathing
