The finest souls are those who gulped pain and avoided making others taste it.

You are what you consume

You are what you read
But what of me? I am not what I read, though the words stain my soul like ink. I am not the soaring sonnet. No, I am the discarded page, the footnote lost in the margin.
Sometimes, the stories sing a song I can barely hear, a melody of heights I can never hope to scale, depths I dare not fathom. Unattainable, unreachable, a siren's call from a shore I am forever forbidden to touch. A hot sand that flow between the cold tips of my finger.
And even if, by some miracle, those heights were within my grasp, I would refuse. I will not be reduced to a blunt line, a predictable rhyme, a neatly packaged piece of literature. I will not be confined, defined, entombed within the cage of someone else's words.
Let them have their poems, their novels,their art, their perfect, polished prose. I choose chaos, I choose imperfection, I choose the messy, unwritten truth of my own existence. Let them devour their stories; I will remain hungry and starved.

I still don't know how to hug someone without breaking them or pick them up from the floor with out making it worse
I never felt open in any way. I would never impulsively ring people and assume that they'd want to see me, or just go 'round. I always had to sit down and think very hard before I knocked on anybody's door. And consequently, I never really knocked.

I'm done living. Gonna be a tree and be productive
I talk to myself and look at the dark trees, blessedly neutral. So much easier than facing people, than having to look happy, invulnerable, clever.
I don't think you have to display your scars and all your wounds to be called 'a good poet'
How can I describe my life to you? I think a lot, listen to music. I'm fond of old ppl, the cool air playing with my unruly hair and ofc rain 🌧

I'm picky with my words cuz my tounge is a way to my heart. And I fear one day someone will hear the vile whispers of my heart
