Permission to think
to explore what is and was always inside you.
Limited by the mind of another, so

and institutionalize on what he couldn’t do
himself. -

Destin wrote about the word compassion 1 year, 7 months ago
Lips parted so willingly
as the others passed across her neck.
Passion and lust so closely entwined
that the heat from their bodies
is beyond what their senses can accept. -

Each edge of the bed felt like it was a million miles high.
I panicked as she turned over, rolling towards the side.
I knew the second that she reached her destination,
she’d be gone foreverbut I couldn’t stop her.

Pressed into another corner
she feels the urge to run.
Everyone tells her to relax,
that this is normal,

behind their back
hands at their shoulders
and cuffs on both their fingers? -

as Wilson stood in the street.

my knuckles begging. -

so willingly.Like dreams.

The bar was wet and cold on Joe’s forehead. He couldn’t believe that the place where Jenn and fell into his life, literally, would be the place he saw her for the last time. That night she slipped and landed in his lap ran so vividly through his mind simultaneously as he watched her clumsily [...]

Destin wrote about the word chance 1 year, 8 months ago
The only chance he had
was to let everything go.
He left his baseball mit
his favorite hat
his mothers kiss…Everything was behind him now.
What was ahead was beyond
his mind could go.But his feet would go forever.

and dive into your smile.
Dancing never felt so natural. -

sturdy coat hangers that

and never realized that
they weren’t actually ours. -

and the truth wrapped around both our throats
and took us. - Load More
