I watch horrified
AS the old scar inside of me;
The one I chose to forget long ago,
Reopens.
The pain is so real,
I cry.
Once again,
Silently staring at nothing.

My tears wash away the dust inside.
The memories,
No longer so foggy,
Are thorns on a rose.
So impossibly beautiful,
But with needles constantly
Poking
And
Prodding
So I cry,
Silently staring at nothing

The pain is everlasting;
This scar will never heal.
The thorns will always
Accompany my rose.
I realized this.
So now,
It is impossible
To pretend.
I am okay,
As I sit here
Silently staring at nothing,
And yet,
Somehow,
Everything.

&ldquo;We are all a little weird and life&#039;s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.&rdquo;- dr suess<br /> <br /> &quot;Saying &#039;I notice you&#039;re a nerd&#039; is like saying, &#039;Hey, I notice that you&#039;d rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you&#039;d rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?&#039; In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even &#039;lame&#039; is kind of lame. Saying &#039;You&#039;re lame&#039; is like saying &#039;You walk with a limp.&#039; Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he&#039;s done all right for himself.&quot; <br /> &mdash; John Green
