Sometimes i wonder if the others make me feel empty or if I'm the one that makes myself feel this way.

I'm special or I'm just swallowed by the illusion that i am.

I'll never know, for I'm merely the shadow of what i was taught i was as a child.

-Blue L.

every ounce of you reminds me of the exemplary moments of this world that I,yet, have to live

every vulnerable moment of you reminds me of the bravery you hold to overcome it

every joyful tick you live reminds me of the dwarf things that make you unexplainably happy

after crying and making yourself physically sick, you decide to let go and move forward

you definitely do deserve, for an act like that, an award

but I am not in a position to be a giver; you would be thunderstruck to see yourself from a different perspective

but the ounce of you that stays silent is me; I am the self-love you don't like to see.
