It will fly

“All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.”

“We’re all too young to have to deal with this shit. Don’t fool yourself, bro. No one should have to see what we’ve seen. No one should have to wake up in the morning and find dead bodies in their living room, but shit happens. We deal with it, and we find a way to survive.”

but you cannot let yourself to forget the fist of anger that still lives in her heart

All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.

right now i can see her, this other version of myself, i can see her dragging her dirty fingernails against the chambers of my heart, drawing blood. and if i could reach inside myself and rip her out of me with my own two hands, i would.

“hey, um, i’m sorry to bother you, but i’m looking for a friend of mine,“ he says. "have you seen her? she’s a tiny little thing, cries a lot, spends too much time with her feelings-” “shut up, kenji!” “oh wait!” he says. “it is you.”

I want to know where to touch you, I want to know how to touch you. I want to know convince you to design a smile just for me. Yes, I do want to be your friend. I want to be your best friend in the entire world.

I will not shatter, not again, in the wake of an emotional earthquake.

I don’t wake up screaming anymore. I do not feel ill at the sight of blood. I do not flinch before firing a gun. I will never again apologize for surviving.

That doesn’t matter, he says, standing up. Good intentions are great, but they don’t change the facts. You are dangerous. Shit, you’re scary dangerous. More dangerous than me and everyone else in here. So don’t ask me to act like that knowledge, in and of itself, isn’t a threat to us. If you’re going to stay here, he says to me, you have to learn how to control what you do—how to contain it. You have to deal with who you are and you have to figure out how to live with it. Just like the rest of us.
