You know my name, not my story.

If I get it all down on paper, it’s no longer inside of me, Threatening the life it belongs to. And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd, cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud…And I know that you’ll use them, however you want to….”

If you know me in person, you probably don’t want to read this. I promise at some point or another, you’ll get offended. I’m not here to write about girls i hate, or try to post cute lyrics and boyfriend pics to make you think my life is perfect. I’m tired of the bullshit. If people want the truth, it’s out here now. Find it. I’m not gonna post it on facebook and start a mass hysteria of my social life…. but i want it out there. Because everyone has sixteen versions of who i am and what made me that way. I’m not bragging. I’m not looking for sympathy.

It’s my story, and i’m owning it.

The Hopeless and the Various Believers

You’ve never seen a thousand dollar bill, but you know it Exists
So anyone has a right to believe whatever, so why get Pissed?
Almost like by believing in something other than your favorite color- you’re offended.
As if you’re saying the wide topic of life is limited; not open ended

I’m actually pretty fucking sick of Religion
Wars across oceans and lunch table over a Vision;
A simple notion that none of us actually know for real
What is the reason for anything, so why not just feel.

Be free to Feel, and think and question, and breathe
Explore your thoughts about why we’re here or after we Leave

Is it really worth blowing up countries and sisterhoods?
Any belief that ends harmony, really can’t be that good.

I’ll always admit when I’m wrong, and I was on the defense
I just hate all this stupid religious Non Sense

I don’t give a shit who Jesus is or what you think that he does
I hate the violence, and sexists. And christianity mostly Because;
I dont get why the most negative beliefs get the most Buzz

You get wrapped up in these philosophical Thinkers
But they’re really just trying to decipher how the world Tinkers

You can dial any number, but theres only two Receivers
The hopeless and the various Believers

And that’s what I am; hopeful
Sometimes with my friends I’m dope-full
Most days I’m admittedly pretty mopeful

Cause no matter how many times I fill it: My glass
It keeps getting broken apart and cracked

That’s why I write. About every scar for every pain
That’s why I sit on this stupid half empty train
And I have a story no mere hours could distain
But it’s haunting me every second, festering in my brain
I’m itching to rip open my soul and scream… but I refrain

Do me a favor? Take two seconds and look in your own reflection
See your religious obsession turns into friendship Rejection
That for every action i make, you have an Objection
I never told you the whole story, I thought out know the direction

Because on the outside, I’m a bitch. It’s me who has changed.
I’m a plastic popular cult- and I think everyone is lame.
I’m a pot head. I’m a whore. I’m a shit talker to blame.

I’m five minutes short of his parents walking in the door
I’m a virgin with bruises because you know I’m a whore
I’m six marks on my hip, praying to be stopped from carving more

I’m a holder of secrets that I can’t even remember.
I’m a seventeen year curse of a snowy November
I’m burn marks and incisions that fade to you, like embers

Let’s break off everything, and not even start
To not inquire but consider her long Broken heart
Or recognize the demons, constantly tearing her Apart

Or maybe you did, and that’s my problem here
Did you possibly note the pain and the Fear?
And the weight of my demons were too much, so you cleared.

See… I’m not mad. Its just that You were a savior
Sat back and stayed true through my shitty behavior

You were the only warmth that I ever felt, because you
Really do have a crystal white heart, you were true
And maybe it was my own guilt because I never helped you

But I’ve metamorphose- sized
And for that I won’t apologize
Because if you looked in my eyes
In five seconds- you’d realize.

Inhale the Good Shit, Exhale the Bullshit

I have had every test under the sun, and no one still has any name to give this phantom pain that plagues a good ninety percent of my life.

Yes, i can feel it always. No, you can not catch it. i can not play lacrosse, or be on the gymnastics travel team like i used to. I can not go to the gym with my friends or sit in stiff backed chairs for more than an hour. I can not lift heavy objects, or sleep through an entire night. The pain is a terrorist, and my body is the country. There is a constant war inside me that i have no control over.

So i smoke, and it makes me laugh. Sometimes it makes me miss him. But the pain goes away. So after five years of pain all day every day- i get a 25 minute break from myself. I break free of the body i’m imprisoned in, and i feel…. happy.

No broken heart.
No Bad memories.
No bullying or rumors.

Just Bliss.

Just try and judge me…

Permalink To the woman who became the principal of our town elementary school, and (as rumor has it) cancelled the “children’s holiday show.” What makes you think you’re special enough to end a thirty (plus) year tradition….bitch.I refuse to be “politically correct” and it makes me angry that they’re trying to ruin this. It is Christmas time. Plain and simple. You do not understand the degree of joy it brings to my seventeen year old heart when I think of Christmas. I love the smell of apple cinnamon that settles around the house the day of thanksgiving. I love the corny commercials, the wal*mart craze, the salvation army santas, and above all the good will towards man attitude everyone at least fakes for the holidays. It’s fading. Less and less people believe- not only in Santa but in the magic of Christmas. It’s turning political and bitchy and it makes me mad. I love candy canes and Christmas lights on houses. I love the snow, I love hockey season, and mostly I love the magic. The nutcracker suite music feeling in the air, and the warm fires crackling with hot coca inside. I love snow men and Christmas songs and wrapping paper. It’s smiles every where you go. It’s busy stores, and fighting to stay awake Christmas eve. It’s a month long high. It’s beautiful. It’s love. And it’s Christmas.
