Favorite Quote:
"You will go to the paper towns and you will never come back" John Green, Paper Towns


Eyes once so full of life:
scraped empty
and hollow
by the same knife
that stains my flesh
crimson.

And now I know what it's like
to feel absent
and vacuous;
to feel as numb
as static screens
on abandoned televisions.

To anyone currently going through depression or dealing with mental illness: you are not alone. I believe in you.
