Grief does not go away with time, it doesn’t make it easier. Time is, however, needed to learn how to cope with grief and the pain it brings.

On Being 18
I am eighteen years old and I feel like I should be more grown up. I’ve always thought of myself as being older than I actually was. I thought I was pretty wise and knew quite a lot. I’ve come to realize more and more, that I’m still so young. I’m not all that wise, but I will grow over the years. Experience will make me a better person. I will learn and develop understanding.
But right now, being young feels like a burden. At least it does sometimes. A lot of things expect a lot of the youth of this generation. We are expected to fit and also be original, to be intelligent and hard working. We are expected to be disciplined and responsible, to learn and grow and be useful.
I don’t want to be on the other end of an expectation made by society. I want to be able to be the expecter of my own abilities, so I can only disappoint myself. I want to be able to do all those things above on my own terms and speed and not have to wait in line or rush to make the cut. To force myself into a mold that is created by people I don’t know personally and who don’t know me personally is horrible and stressful. There is so much I want to do but don’t have any energy for, so I still end up disappointing.
I want to travel, explore things, people, places, and myself too. I want to write and read, not because I have to, but because I enjoy doing it myself. I want to wear whatever the fuck I want without having anybody judging me.
I just want to gradually form myself instead of taking the shape others want me to.

So,
this is it
the demons inside
of your damaged body
have stained your eyes
black as the night
I keep telling myself
I don’t believe in the saying
the eyes are the window to the soul
I pulled you out of
some dark places
but your soul
was never tainted
when this is all over,
my brother, I do believe
the black of your eyes will paint wings
wherever you will rest
at last
what i imagine will be said by a certain angel in season 10

Teenage girls
are complex beings
we trick people
into saying we’re pretty and
skinny
because we need to hear
what we hope
we need to hear what we
don’t see in the mirror
we need to believe
we are worth more
than what we think
we are
Teenage girls
we drink so we forget
what we overthink
we smell of cigarette smoke
and chemical flowers
we grow roses in our hearts
that puncture our insides
with the thorns

depression is only temporary darkness. everything is temporary. nothing is truly permanent. people die. memories fade. perspectives shift. so don’t worry, it will pass.

The lump in my throath
It’s easy to just expect
a helpful hand when needed
im sorry im the kind of person that
supplies you one when you need it
but we are not equals
even though I like to pretend
and think we are
I know you don’t realize
but I do
this is a real world
I don’t open my eyes
as often as I should
but it seems you
are just blind
