November

So I'm waiting for this test to end, so these lighter days can soon begin;
I'll be alone, but maybe more carefree, Like a kite that floats so effortlessly; 
I was afraid to be alone, but now I'm scared that's how I like to be;
All these faces run the same, how can there be so many personalities?
So many lifeless, empty hands, so many hearts in great demand;
and now my sorrow seems so far away, until I'm taken by these bolts of pain; 
But I turn them off, and tuck them away,
until those rainy days that make them stay;
And then I'll cry so hard to these sad songs,
and the words still ring, once here, now gone;
And they echo through my head everyday, and I don't think they'll ever go away;
Just like thinking of your childhood home, but we can't go back, we're on our own;
But I'm about to give this one more shot, And find it in myself, I'll find it in myself;
So we're speeding towards that time of year, to the day that marks that you're not here;
And I think I'll want to be alone, so please understand that I don't answer the phone;
I'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls, until I can see nothing at all;
Only particles, some fast, some slow, all my eyes can see is all I know.

Trouble's gonna lose me



Cozy. Little things.

N.V.D



The daughter of a broken violin plays
Make believe although she's thirty-one 
I guess when you grow up in darkness and sober living houses
The rest of your life should be fucking fun.

Sanckens doll.

Sometimes I feel sorry for myself and then I think of you both and how you forced me to see light even though we didn't always have the privilege of seeing daylight and then I stop and just miss you. Miss talking for hours and hoping together and dreaming and knowing you were both out there - we were so so young. I'm so grateful for my health, I'm so grateful to walk and leave the house and drive and to see daylight and the stars and to be in the night and to dance and to sit up straight and get out of bed. I am lucky and take so much for granted. For a while, it hurt so much to lose you without even getting to say goodbye that I wasn't sure. But oh my god, I am so grateful I met you 💖

I see a darkness.

a member of the CG club gave me this song written on a scrap of paper when i had gone crazy again and was taking a lot of ritalin and used to wake up thinking my bedroom was haunted a bunch (okay like once). after bonding over throwing up a work night meal deal dinner, we went to the park at 2am in the pitch black and sat on the swings drinking pink wine and now it always makes me cry because it found me at the perfect time, just like she did. i feel like getting 'best unbeaten sister' tattooed somewhere xo

Ginsberg, chainsmoking, cats.




My favourite member of the CG club. I'd rather sit in #7 than a hundred lecture halls. We sat up til morning and listened to Howl spoken over Tom Waits backing music and chain smoked, like always talking about novels I've never read and I left with six poetry books and a cigarette hangover.

All we do is drive.

 


i think i will be grateful forever for my licence.





We played hide and seek in waterfalls

Let's say sunshine for everyone
But as far as I can remember
We've been migratory animals
Living under changing weather

Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard
Today we will sell our uniform

Live together, live together

We played hide & seek in waterfalls
We were younger, we were younger

Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard
