sunkissed dreams

sunkissed dreams

or starlit tears

vengeful pleas

or mutant fears

joyful circuits 

or stationary bares

given love

or taken light

crushed hope

or fervent blight

blessed fight

or cursed night 

each which bears their own arms

each which tears their own sleeves

you

who bears both 

the good and the bad

the love and the hate

the happy and the sad

the life

and

the death

which do you prefer?

the sunkissed dreams

or

the starlit tears

“You remember too much, my mother said to me recently. Why hold onto all that? And I said, Where can I put it down?”

Perhaps the hardest thing about losing a love is  to watch the year repeat its days.

tumblr is so funny also like as a platform. what on earth do you mean my entire social circle on here was obsessed with jenny holzer and barbara kruger’s respective bodies of work when i was 15/16 years old

simple wish

to feel the flowers

touch the grass

smell the air

breeze on past

to keep a promise

mend a heart

obtain a love

play a part

to stay awake

save your tears

obey, oblige 

face your fears

a brave soul

a single kiss

a daring mind 

a simple wish

TransforMay Days 4 - 6 "Alternate Reality"

Look in the mirror, what do you see? Look at yourself, you're looking at me. Feeling good in that body you wear? Feels a bit tight, now that we share.

Who is in charge? Who's in control? Do you think they noticed? Paid attention at all? No, they ignore us, this awful creation. Avoid the gaze of an abomination.

How long will you stay? Shall I beg you to leave? Get on my knees and pray for relief? This is my home, you took it from me. Please, other self, just let me be free.
