I have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read.<br /> -George R.R. Martin

I wish I was a poet

I wish everything I had to say

Could flow directly from my brain

Onto a page

And make people feel things

 


I wish I was a poet

I wish my words were so strong

They lingered in peoples heads

Replaying like a song

They just couldn’t quiet

 


I wish I was a poet

I wish my thoughts

Weren’t so hard to voice aloud

And they don’t make any sense

When they finally do come out

 


I am nothing like the poets

Favorite Quote:
Her heart was an open book with beautiful pages and detailed lettering. She wanted people to read her story in hopes that it would make them write their own. Instead, every person who came across the pages of her heart ripped out their favorite story and took it with them. They folded back pages and bent up corners. They signed their name with sloppy writing and with a simple 'goodbye'. This book is now tucked away in the darkest parts of her, because no one wants to read a tragic story with a bad ending.
