We never met but I learned to love your absence.

"You are what you eat,"
.
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

Iloveyou; I wrote it with no spaces so there's no room for anyone else.

Idk made me smile.

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 talk to myself and look at the dark trees, blessedly neutral. So much easier than facing people, than having to look happy, invulnerable, clever.

If you know too much, you'll get old too soon. Maybe that's what happened here

I don't think you have to display your scars and all your wounds to be called 'a good poet'

So many tender and painful, sweet and bitter, emotions crowd in my soul.

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 🌧

people are full of pretty words with empty meaning.

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

I have more conversations in my head than I do in real life.

Im such a "but why" girl.

Its like im trying my best but i just keep making silly mistakes

I love you? Be specific which layer of 'me' do you love

Forced to say "it's okay" and be considerate instead of throwing the chair
