there was a star above my head and I thought to myself that it was pretty bright but not the most it could be, and then I realized that the star was me and I had the urge to cry as well as blacken myself out. Isn’t it a shame when people make you feel worthless when you could be worth so much? You were so beautiful in telling me that I had changed into something darker, when I was trying to shine.

Credibility? What the hell does that mean? Am I to believe your definition? I see no reason as to why your ramblings are more credible than what I see – what I think I see. I don’t know what to trust – and it’s all because of you.

she slipped away into the darkness, as if she was one with the shadows, dissolving into the night. they didn’t think about it at first, didn’t realize how quickly she’d done it, and therefore how easily she could’ve done it before. “she wanted us to catch her” he mused quietly to his partner. he nodded in reply. “strange.”

It’s the faded pink flower petal falling, peeling off the rose. Or the paint from a chipping bathroom wall of a girls’ bathroom. It tries to soothe and fails miserably, it’s desperate high heels and smudged lipstick.

I can’t seem to speak or say what is really on my mind, out loud. But in my head the mumbles sound like echos. Through words and sounds, I mumble this song that keeps dancing around in my mind. Some day’s these mumbles

The branches on my family tree are so numerous, they are difficult to count. There are so many grafts! People on my tree – a branch – that doesn’t make sense, until I see the structure that branch provides. God really knows what He’s doing when He’s pruning and grafting those branches, doesn’t He?

Anchors hold your boat down. Anchors keep you from sailing away. Anchors dock you where you need to be, and keep you out of that sometimes horrendous and tragic fantasy world you may slip into. Anchors keep you grounded.

Welfare is for the poor? For the drunks? For those who did not get to receive an education. For those who did not have your opportunities. For those who need a little help recuperating. For the tragic background stories. Welfare is money. Welfare is assistance. Welfare is exaggerated. Welfare is judged. Welfare is a second chance.

Once, when we were about 14, you were really into Dashboard Confessional which I thought was the dumbest name for a band and teased you all the time. I miss teasing you, I miss talking to you, and I miss being your best friend.

No one ever tells you how to break up with a best friend, they just let you…die.

Something that has never ceased to amaze me. Something so short, two minutes on average, yet so destructive, ripping through towns and house. A loud noise. Look next door. Everything in pieces and bits. Your home is just fine. Why you? How?

i felt destined for greatness. ever since i was a rational-thinking being, i felt that i was going to be something big. a singer. a lawyer. a game-changer. a do-er. but man. when am i going to reach my potential? when are my own expectations going to be met? this is the spark for the fireworks, baby.

Listening to the sound of rain hitting the window. listening to music while driving down the highway with the windows down and the wind in your hair. listening to stupid jokes that only you and your friends think are funny. listening to the world, cause everyone has something to say.

To listen. I simple concept that seems to no longer be apart of out society today. People don’t stop to think about what others say, or even themselves. Open up your minds, your eyes, your hearts. Do more than just hear. It’ll change everything.

Once upon a time there was a young girl. Her name was Melanie, she thought that she’d be able to conjure up a spell to help save her grandmother. However, having turned into a witch only three weeks prior to the day, there was no way she’d have the time to learn how to use her powers well.

She was sentencend to death for being so beautiful. Her sentence was to be everyone’s desire, but never actually belong to anyone. She loathed her beauty, even though many envied her for it. She desired to be happy and have someone to call her own, but instead she was sentenced to eternal loneliness

To embellish is to capture attention. You can embellish a story verbally, you can embellish an item visually. Embellishment is not necessarily an exaggeration, but rather a way to enhance or change the way others perceive something.

Mitchel Cave is a really good singer. He’s from Australia and I’m pretty sure he is a tenor. I wanna walk on the beach with him and see the Great Coral Reef. Of course there is someone else I’d rather walk along the beach with… ;)

The cave was dark, dank, dreary, with frozen lakes of green water glistening every. The walls dripped with icicles, and bats darted to and frough.

Never able to go anywhere, only stopped to think about everything. Nothing more, nothing less just stay there and think. Stalled.

Weathered is the old apple tree in the yard. Weathered is the house that stands against the storms each year. Young and vibrant are the people who live in the house – but weathered are their spirits, broken and faded, old and finished, perhaps beyond repair. Long will the tree and the house stand after those people are gone, and their souls long vanished.

I grasped at straws, it seemed like. No meaning to life, other than to keep on going. Keep people thinking that everything was just dandy. Any word I could say, any phrase, any way to just keep on moving… Pretend until, one day, I actually believe it. Fake it till you make it, isn’t that the way it goes?

When was the last time you looked at someone you thought had it all together, and wondered if they were really as stable as they seemed? Did you ever think that the ones that seemed like they were doing okay, even great, most of the time, might be flailing in the dark, just like the rest of us? Take the time today to reach out to someone, let them know you’re praying for them, that you love them, that they matter to you. Don’t leave them flailing for hope.

I used to love the ocean. However all of that changed when I was a teenager and I was nearly drowned. I was thrown down and tumbled and couldn’t tell which way was up. I came up flailing without a love of the ocean.

There are so many ways to think of the word, “claims.” Claims of hardship, of wrongdoing – claims of something you did that someone else took credit for. What if, instead, we claimed - rightly – that God was King of kings, Lord of lords, and that He would be watching out for us no matter what? I clam that. Jesus is my King, my Lord. I claim Jesus.

Everything feelsl ike a system. Thing sthat are bigger than us or surrounding us but we can’t control what they become or what they are now or how to change or what manifestations theyll have and we dont know where theyre going and thats why that word is scary and negative but they also keep us grounded, keep us free to connect with each other, they let us feel a part of somethign and keep us from reinventing the wheel allt he time
