Katie commented on the post, maze 1 year, 3 months ago
My mind is like a maze, and I’m lost. Someone stole my map along the way and I can’t remember the way back home. If i take your hand will you promise to lead me to safety?

It hit me, like a slap to the face. What I was doing wasn’t right. It was logical and it damn well wasn’t the Christian way. Sometimes conviction hurts.

i am on the edge, looking down and seeing nothing. to jump might mean death, to jump might mean peace– or perhaps i find solace in both.

i’m in one. we’re awful, but people love us for our cuteness and our original lyrics.

lighting cuts the sky in half, and you are on one side and i am on the other. separated by a flash, a slice, a fork of light– far apart but still together.

and you retain that mold
i cannot change that which makes you strongest

Lulu wrote about the word honest 1 year, 10 months ago
honest! brutally so. i am honest with myself: you were stupid, and now you are free! but i am afraid: in ten years i will be dead. i talk to him about baby sharks, he is honest when he sees a fat person. no poetry can save me now.

Katie wrote about the word held 1 year, 11 months ago
I wish you had held on a little tighter. Or maybe if I had let you go a little more we wouldn’t be here now. But we are, and I have no choice but to speak to you through letters you’ll never read and words you’ll never hear. Can you define insanity for me? Performing [...]

A smile fixes everything. What else is there to say? Brighten a day, maybe change a mood. Go ahead, smile. It won’t kill you. :)

Katie wrote about the word train 1 year, 11 months ago
Chase loved trains. He wanted to grow up to be a conductor. His room was filled with models and pictures, it was all his mom talked about. We went camping once and threw rocks in the river until dinner time. It’s funny, the things you remember about people, the pure innocence of a child wanting [...]

Katie wrote about the word station 1 year, 11 months ago
He leaned over to change the station, but he couldn’t. Turns out, life isn’t a radio. You can’t turn it when you don’t like the song. You’re stuck listening to the same crap day in and day out. And you’ve got two choices; sing along, or turn the damn thing off and block out all [...]

Lulu wrote about the word station 1 year, 11 months ago
we stood on the station platform, tired and confused. we hadn’t yet bonded with each other, and someone had spread the rumour that all of the French people hated us. it certainly seemed that way as we pulled our heavy suitcases onto the hot, crowded tube and saw the dirty looks that people were giving [...]

Lulu wrote about the word beloved 1 year, 11 months ago
be loved. beloved. i often wonder if i am beloved. but if i am not, what does it matter? when i am beloved by many others i do not love myself. when nobody loves me, i love myself. a question of identity has been raised! and summer has begun: perhaps i will get to the [...]

Katie wrote about the word beloved 1 year, 11 months ago
I tried to not love you. I tried really hard. But then you came back, just in time to step onto a plane so you can take your beloved gun and fight for the”freedom” we were promised. I only have one request. Love me like you swore you would, or grant me my freedom and [...]

Katie wrote about the word forgetting 1 year, 11 months ago
I had repressed it all to the point where it was bearable. I was slowly forgetting the way you made me feel, that ring on my finger and the way you tasted. I had managed to convinve myself that it would be better this way, that once you left I could move on for good. [...]

Katie wrote about the word painted 1 year, 11 months ago
Masks, hidden behind painted faces. Don’t show them how you really feel. Keep yourself closed off, like a book that has been shut. Slam the door to your past, that’s not who you are anymore. Paint on a calm face, don’t let him see the truth. He’s not supposed to be a part of this [...]

Lulu wrote about the word painted 1 year, 11 months ago
painted faces in the dark. deep shadowed eyes that shine, bottomless pits, reflecting your soul. deader than dead, am i dead or alive? i claw at your heart just to try to survive. painted faces in the dark, and their deep shadowed eyes shine as bottomless pits, reflecting your soul. but it won’t help: deader [...]

Katie wrote about the word montage 1 year, 11 months ago
When we met I felt the universe slip. A montage of my life flashed before my eyes. The good, the bad, the secrets I keep hidden away, I saw it all in one single flash. As we spoke I could hear my sensible side telling me to run, too bad I never listened. Now I [...]
