"The strongest never win, the ones that win are strong"


I’m not sure if this is true for all writers but I am in all of my stories
Sometimes I feel like being the damsel in distress
the one who cant quite remember her past
only to find out that its not her past to remember in the first place
Other times I feel like being the hero in a small town like this
Without these wants of being a totally different person
I would never have a reason to pick up a pencil
All of these journals would be blank and so would my mind
My stories are day dreams on paper
poetry happens when I cant hold it inside anymore
Poetry is made when my lips spill out words
because my eyes took all the tears
It just comes out and out
I usually don’t write it down because if I stop the flow of feeling to find a pencil it might never run again
My best friend told me that I shouldn’t watch another TV series
I get way to attached to the story and to the characters
That’s true, I do get way to attached
I responded by telling her that I secretly like the heartache; and it’s true.
Heartache is probably the reason I’m such a romantic
To feel the longing and emptiness and sadness is a such a beautiful thing
it just proves how much in love you really are
"It’s better to have loved then lost than to have never loved at all."
I don’t know if that’s true either
I haven’t been in love yet but I have cried over past boyfriends before
If simple crushes can make you hurt and cry for a long time
then I cant imagine how it feels to loose someone you love.
Despite this observation I would always choose to love
even if my fortune teller tells me he will be ripped away from me the day after
because as a writer once wrote
“Unless it is mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it is a waste of time.
There are to many mediocre things in life, love shouldn’t be one of them".

This is the first poem that I wrote last year after a little heart break. After feeling crappy for the longest time I just picked up a pencil and let it flow. What came out was something beautiful, I think.
