• I value morals over giving into temptation. I could never live without regret, knowing that I broke someone’s heart for my own selfish desires. I do not believe that such “temptations” would grant me the happiness I seek, anyways. To uphold chivalry and always keep a smile on that person’s face–that’s what I value the [...]

  • I really haven’t done this oneword stuff in a while. And I’m really not sure what to write about. But see, whatever the randomly generated word is, the first thing that always pops into mind is you. Yeah–sometimes I wonder if you’re just a fictional character in my mind; some fantasy I’ve invented, to keep [...]

  • I thought I had to change the world for you to notice me. I enslaved black people and called them “niggers.” I slaughtered the Jews and blamed them for everything. I’m going to blow up Korea with bombs and missiles. And I invented a thing called “democracy” so I could become the most powerful man [...]

  • It’s gonna be a New Year and I don’t really have a resolution. And I don’t know what I’m really saying right now. All I know is that I want you and that I don’t think it’s ever gonna happen. Library? Uhh. I guess it’s a nice quiet place. I like the library because for [...]

  • is it obvious? Part of me hopes it is. Maybe it’s clear as glass and you’re okay with it. But another part of me is hoping otherwise ’cause, if you’re not okay with it, then I don’t want you to know. I guess it’s ’cause I’m scared of the answer. In all honesty I am [...]

    Keep me warm and let me wrap myself within you. Weave yourself around my body and make me feel like I’m at home. And make me feel beautiful. I’ll show the world how great you are with me, and I’ll show how much you were made just for me.

  • I find it cold under these bed sheets. The insomniac within me lets nostalgia take over me and I think about times in the past–back when things used to be simple. Back when good grades made me happy with life, and I was rewarded by my parents. But now the ridiculous workload gets a simple [...]

  • This is about you. This is about how much I wonder about the possibilities and how much I think about the chances–if there are any. This is about me never being golden, not even silver–something along the lines of just copper. This is about how I want to be everything you need from me–I want [...]

  • I’ve been keeping my feelings locked away behind closed doors. But there’s nothing new with that. I wonder sometimes–no, actually a lot–how you’d react to my affections. Probably with rejection. Most likely with rejection. Most unquestionably with rejection–it’s the obvious answer. So I’ve kept myself hidden. And unheard. I’m keeping words unsaid only because that’s [...]

  • Maybe you’ll recognize me for my talent one day. I feel the need to have to change the world for you to notice me. I don’t know–like I have to do something extravagant. Like I have to be this “big guy” who makes big bucks or something. No, it doesn’t even have to be money [...]

  • I think ahead of myself too much. I like to think of how things are gonna go down, that it’s all gonna be great–if only I can successfully pass through the 1st step, of you getting to notice me. And maybe then we can just talk and it’ll evolve from there–being friends, then close friends, [...]

  • Listen… Just, listen for a sec. I swear that you’re not gonna be alone through all of this. You’re gonna find that special someone. And maybe it’s gonna take a bit of time. But you just have to be patient. You’re lucky. I hope you know that. ’cause unlike people like me, you don’t have [...]

  • Michael Aquino commented on the blog post duck 2 years, 7 months ago

    The ugly duckling got left behind. While media propaganda took over, no one really cared about the little, squabbling one. The duckling just wanted to be heard, and wanted to be seen–beyond than just as it appeared. The duckling wanted to win hearts. But everyone else has it installed in their minds to notice the [...]

  • Michael Aquino commented on the blog post junkyard 2 years, 7 months ago

    I’m just trying to prove myself as the best. Maybe then you’ll notice me. Because I feel like all I am is part of a heap of trash, a junkyard you pay no mind to–just one of the many scraps thrown aside. I’m just one of them. Maybe if I can clean myself up, get [...]

  • Michael Aquino commented on the blog post market 2 years, 7 months ago

    Fruits? Check. Vegetables? Check. I had run through this kind of routine plenty of times before. Then into the meat products, and then to the cereals. And the milk. And all the other dairy products. Check, check, check. Yadda yadda. It’s kind of mundane, really. It’s really repetitive. I just, get what I need, and [...]

  • Michael Aquino commented on the blog post certain 2 years, 7 months ago

    There’s a certain someone that’s been on my mind. Even though I’ve barely just met them. I kind of want to know them better but really? I’m not sure. Hahah. I mean, you seem like a nice guy. More importantly, someone I could get along with. But who am I to you? I kind of [...]

  • He needed a helping hand. But I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to offer it. I mean, should I really be involving myself into this kind of stuff? A huge wave of doubt overwhelmed me. “Come on man, just do it,” he insisted. He shoved the bottle into my hand. I didn’t exactly want [...]
