Favorite Quote:
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." - Oscar Wilde


sell my feelings

for a dollar

buy one get one free


strung up like a puppet

manipulate me


drain the color from my dreams

dilute

and bottle


let every drop of

blood sweat tears

flow out of me like a fountain


your main attraction


charge admission to the show


pocket every penny

and watch me waste away


steel bars and metaphors 

to keep me from hope


welcome


to the performance of a lifetime

the peak of my career


with or without the keys to this cage

I will find my way out of here

This is for anyone who has ever been in a controlling or abusive relationship, friendship, or situation; you deserve more. You are worthy of respect, freedom, and kindness, do not let this ruin you. Stay brave, be strong. You are more than their words.
