613 Entries for “themselves”

  1. I was always taught to ask the other person in a conversation questions, because, it is a good conversation if one gets to talk about themselves. Don’t be expecting me to do all the talking any time soon!

  2. Two people were walking by themselves in the forest one day when they heard a noise. They were very scared and didn’t know what to do, they turned around and there was just a cute little kitten so they picked it up, then it turned into a monster and ate their faces off. The End

  3. the people wanted to be into them onto them the essence of red apples red fruit hanging from the sky them the others the ones in the woods the people were quiet they lived in barns they made tea kettles from the bronze iron inside of red red trees the others them

  4. They themselves think that they are the best that i am a freak, that they know how to work. They are secure and i am not, they know their place I do not, this is the way. I am not interesting enough for themselves. Everyone is a themselves. And it makes me wonder where the group stops and the person begins, the them and the they versus the themselves, the entity of judgement and place.

  5. many people consider themselves to be part of a group but do they know who hey are within that group? do they see themselves as others see them?

  6. There they sit by themselves.
    All different thoughts.
    All different lives.
    All from different places.

  7. one two three four five six seven eight none 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 selves. 1 a year.

  8. they are totally of them. there isn’t a thing that they do with only the consent of others. They are free, independent, only thinking of the next thing. There isn’t a concern, or a time, or a place. They just go through, weaving through life like a weed growing up toward the light. they just go, go. they don’t think or play or take.

  9. They weren’t anyone else when they were together, and nobody else was anybody else either. They were just themselves. THEY liked to do things, THEY liked certain restaurants, THEY thought the first movie was okay but the sequel was very disappointing. They were difficult to be around like that.

  10. They are orange and purple and blue
    They like cats and walruses and orchids
    Follow them because
    They themselves do not know
    where
    to
    go

  11. and the people in the shelves
    were talking about themselves
    but not in the way you would expect
    bragging
    but instead commenting
    on their dirty hair
    and unshaven faces
    and picked-at cuticles

    until you walked in
    and picked one up
    and it was actually shiny and new

  12. People care about themselves. And typically, it’s themselves only. People are inherently selfish. It’s a survival instinct. And that’s just realistic. People have to work hard to look at other sides and perspectives. We are inherently stubborn. But that has to change. If anything, good for all of us, will get done.

  13. They protect themselves from each other. They fear being together.

  14. they can go fuck themselves.
    they is the subject
    and they are their own object

  15. incubated and left alone
    we pulsate and gaze
    and deeply,

  16. alone together
    like Julian said it
    and me and them alone in the fish pond
    no place for the jaws
    just our quiet trees and laughs.

  17. They told me that they were free, through their tears, as they walked away with hunched shoulders. But they forgot to tell me about themselves.

    Riri
  18. They are separate
    Like marbles in a fish tank
    Together; alone

    Rene Emerson
  19. they themselves are not what they believe themselves to be

  20. I can’t help but think what would have happened if they were left to themselves….The blood was drawn, the blades were bloody, but the body was not yet a body. It was still breathing.

  21. I didn’t think they were capable
    of fucking themselves over like this.
    echoes in a wooden hallway
    chanting
    run-run-run

    they realized. they just didn’t care.

    sleepy
  22. They, themselves, we, myself what do they all mean. hem hem what is them, who am I. I don’t ever seem to know or feel or do. or say it all at once

    Rose
  23. We did this to ourselves. We knew the stakes, we knew the consequences. We were fine until we weren’t.

    Hanne
  24. themselves and only them.
    shallow as the ocean,
    and dulled like old beach bottles left buried in the sand.
    we were them like necklaces.
    and only them.
    we decorate ourselves with their troubles and swear by their mistakes.

  25. They protect themselves against each other. They fear themselves together.

    Jeanette Floyd
  26. They were by themselves. Alone. Sure there were other people, but no one mattered as much as they did. To each other that is. They were each other’s everything. Their meaning for living, breathing, caring. Without each other they would be nothing. They were by themselves. And that was okay.

    Allison
  27. when i look at me
    i see them
    looking at me

    kanda
  28. they need to think about
    but not in the way they normally do
    they need to protect
    but not in the way they normally do

    Katie
  29. They were talking among themselves… This is what they did. Half a word each day, in hushed voices, over rigged, decaying wooden tables. That was all they knew. How to talk, and how to listen. One mode of communication that so desperately clung to the thought of understanding that never came.

  30. you, me, us
    together as one
    we are
    o
    n
    e
    a being to ourselves, themselves
    simple as that
    i don’t want to be alone,
    i wish to be with you
    together
    as one

  31. i was never one
    I never craved to be
    but their hungry ache for likeminded souls
    encircled like a pack of wolves
    any individuality
    they had brought before

    allie
  32. they themselves
    are alone
    together
    a simple hug makes them melt into one intricate
    being
    beautiful
    simple
    forever

    hannah
  33. them they yourselve

    kasey
  34. The way they see themselves
    is different than me
    feels like they’re always somehow
    more…ok with who they are
    they seem to be themselves with no trouble
    I struggle
    I see
    I see nothing
    Nothing good
    Nothing acceptable
    The way I see myself
    Is not the way
    They see
    Themselves

    Jill
  35. Being alone with others. Not accepting others outside of themselves. Fear of not staying with “themselves.” Isolated, alone, afraid are themselves that are not open to new people. Only the exclusive group they have created. None else.

    Jesse
  36. They never showed themselves to anyone but me, which was something I outwardly despised, but secretly loved. I told everyone that I hated their presence in my mind, but really, it gave me a sense of power. I could do anything with their help.

  37. They think only of themselves, not the small child lost on the sidewalk, nor the girl behind the counter counting the minutes until she sees her sick grandmother in the hospital. Always in a rush, they forget to think of others. In a rush, they run the stop sign. In a rush, they help someone meet their death sooner rather than later. In a rush, they become a victim.

  38. I don’t know who they are but I guess they do. When I look at them, I wonder if my perceptions match up with their own when they look in their mirrors in their bathrooms in the mornings after a cold shower.

    Kristina
  39. do you realize yourself
    has anyone ever let you know
    i don’t think anything could spoil you
    how dangerous

  40. this word reminds me of seclusion. it’s a very uninviting word that usually seems to be used to keep someone out of the loop or away from the issue. It can also be seen in a derogatory light were the dark line between “us” and “them” keep every thing divided. However, I suppose, in the end it is just a few letters grouped together to define a set of persons in one regard or another.
