The Nights

These are the nights
When everything looks too big and too small
and I'm sitting in front of my computer screen
texting a friend

These are the nights
When I'm listening to nostalgic coldplay
and crying when the beat drops
and remembering better times

These are the nights
When my girlfriend reminds me I need to sleep
and I tell her I will but I don't
because even though I'm tired
I can't sleep

I love these nights
Because they remind me of everything I've lost
and everything I've gotten since before
because I'm a survivor
and I'm going to make it through this

    that I’m bleeding.

    I wish there were bandaids for all my scars,

    Villain

    I tried to say hi to a girl yesterday
    Can you tell me why she was so afraid?
    I know I’m fine—not disfigured or two-faced
    I promise you guys that I’m perfectly sane.
    My teachers don’t seem to think I’m all there
  • Enough


    Isn’t it enough?

    Isn’t it enough for you
    That there have been 102 mass shootings
    In the past year?

    Isn’t it enough for you
    That most of them have been hate crimes
    And have gone unpunished?
