613 Entries for “themselves”

  1. That’s all they ever cared about. And I don’t know why. I would’ve killed to join them in their ranks, but alas, no. Alone is where I’d stay, and them with themselves, me by myself.

  2. they see themselves differently now that they are older
    they do not know that in ten years they will see themselves differently still
    they don’t care
    who cares about tomorrow anyway when today is so boring
    i will never be old
    will you ?

    Dominic
  3. their selves were so easily influenced
    were they true?

  4. People think of themselves in so many different ways it’s almost immpossible to accurately describe someone from just looking in at from the outside view/
    Don’t you think?
    Because, it is true that you are the closest person to yourself, so who am I to make decisions about who you are?

  5. they themselves have shown me, guided me towards the peak of my life, helped me to fullfill my dreams and accomplish the challenges that were set before me.

  6. people are selfish and only think about themselves. they will do whatever it takes to make themselves happy even if it makes others sad.

  7. They looked at themselves. They had realized that nothing was the same. The walls were white, their minds were mush. They had traveled to a new existence, where their souls could not fully exist.

  8. Credibility
    couldn’t be worth a cent
    if the news wasn’t
    paper.
    So books shouldn’t
    vanish
    neither should
    computer eyes.

  9. they crash themselves to each other in order to fix each other in the way. to restore, to be contagious, to spread a hundred of cristals in the sky.

  10. Shriek
    in the shrine
    for her closet
    full
    of cobwebs
    and sweaters.
    Dolls and love letters.
    And hidden cigarettes,
    with brand new
    Pabst Blue
    on the side.

  11. They were the group who always hated themselves.
    They stole, they
    lied, to everyone they cared about and no one
    they didn’t, fearing the worst- of course,
    being rejected for someone you aren’t
    is far less terrifying
    than repulsion beaming out
    from someone you have opened up to.

  12. they only thought of themselves,
    never of anyone else
    or anything else
    how could they?
    all they could see was the fire,
    the smeared lipstick,
    the pain.
    the love.

  13. basta de poner esta palabra. creo que esta pagin aes una mierda y solo tiene esta palabra que no me transimite nadas mas que algo egoista o no se bien, porque no se mucho igles asique no se cuando se usa esa palabra la verdad pero bueno

  14. he wondered why he couldn’t be himself. he didn’t like that his mug read world’s best dad. he didn’t like that he had a “kiss the chef” apron. he couldn’t cook and he had forgotten to pick up his kid from school just yesterday

  15. I think it’s natural for perpetual human beings to care about themselves. We have to rely on ourselves for almost everything. Who else will ALWAYS have our backs? It’s natural.

  16. ellos mismos se acarician, cada uno por separado, se miran sin contacto visual, se rozan sin contacto fisico, pero estan cada uno al lado del otro, no pueden pensar, o si, pero no o saben, lo unico que pasa es que no saben.

  17. waiting for themselves
    to become a myself
    why do i need to worry about
    the smell of his cigarettes
    staining my coffee mug
    i was good by myself
    i had a mug that read
    world’s best friend

  18. they think they are so great,
    except when they don’t
    the insecurities and self loathing
    corrosive doubt spurred by foolish reflection
    the mirror of the other
    how they think of themselves
    and how they think of me
    the mirror is dirty

  19. They sat by themselves and the room was quiet. Gillian could feel the silence settle over her suit’s gray shoulders like dust. She opened her lips to say something—offer condolences, maybe? Nothing came out. She smacked them closed. Oops—too loud? She had never fired anyone before. She thought about Maria’s family. Well, actually she didn’t know if Maria had a family. Either way, she felt bad. Well, kind of. She didn’t actually know Maria, and it made her feel a little better to pretend that Maria was some sort of hypocrite or liar or jewelry thief. The thought made the whole process feel a little less…monumental. Firing a bad person was much easier than firing a good person.

  21. they are themselves because they think what they say and don allow other peolpe to say otherwise, it’s crazy

  22. tthey were crying about themselves
    screaming about noone else
    can’t write in english if you’ll judge for my
    senses
    they’re just so mean to me and let my drink go cold
    time’s waiting for it.

  23. They sit in the backroom,
    smoking cigarettes,
    sterilizing
    scent with
    cheap perfume,
    and wine.

  24. Underneath layers of sediment sand blubber sadness dust and gems and culture, family, time left on earth, they looked and found something they didn’t like.

  25. they all bathed themselves in their riches. not having a care in the world. they were in their selfish bubbles. No one even dared to pop them. until that one came along. and lets say, he made the world turn upside down.

  26. Occupied faces,
    blankly abrupt.
    The business
    at ease,
    tranquilized animals
    in suits and ties.
    Purgatory.
    In the way I see it,
    a desk lamp gone
    black,
    burnt out from bore.

  28. It seems like isolation, like the bad boys, the Greasers who are always lingering along the edges of crowds. The people huddled alone whispering. Isolation, certainly, but not aloneness. They don’t have me, but they have each other.

  29. Themselves
    Such a harsh word
    Alone, like the last icicle of the winter,
    The last remnants of summer in stores
    50% off a summer dress
    Amid winter clothing

    Marissa
  30. Themselves. Like the girls in the forest,
    witchcraft, a brew.
    Makeshift of cauldrons,
    and cotton shrooms.
    Free and wild,
    took themselves.
    magic.

  31. I swear if I get themselves one more time I’m going to scream. I don’t know why this keeps coming up, but I am irritated by it. Probably would help if I wasn’t already irritated with things, but really, whey is “themselves” here again? Will it be here tomorrow, too? How about a different word? Will be interesting to see what happens with tomorrow’s word.

  32. they love themselves
    i’m here alone, hating
    why can’t i be like
    you
    perfect
    shapely
    divine
    divided, conquered
    i hate that i hate myself
    i hate myself for hating that i hate myself
    i
    hate

  33. They always worry about themselves and never me, I swear. I swear one day I’ll have enough courage to tell them how frustrating that is for me, how I can’t stand it.

  34. They were themselves and that’s what I liked about them. They were just so unapologetic about who they were and how they were and they were always just themselves and that’s the great thing about them. Maybe that’s why i look up to them so much.

  35. When they think of themselves they think of descriptors. Words they’ve thought and words they’ve been given. People are not adjectives.

  36. they are everything but themselves
    and nothing if not everyone else

  37. Everyone has flaws and issues and insecurities, but what everyone has that they don’t remember is the life they owe to THEMSELVES. The laughter, the smiles, the memories, the tears, and the triumph. It’s all for you to take in, breath it,, drink it, drown in it.

  38. they were alone, with no one to hold, no one to touch, no one to love, but themselves
    it was a cold life and it was a dark hole and they were simply lost in their own minds

  39. themselves they offered themselves to the god of the art they offered their souls and their bodies, rotting slowly and the carnage, the meat, the flesh of the precious angel
    they offered themselves to a life of martyr
    themselves to a god of artistry

  40. it’s only a little while
    before
    they’re watching themselves in the mirror,
    the way their skin tightens over
    bones they didn’t know existed;
    scars they forgot were there exposed
    prominent
