I am seventeen years old
I look like my mother
i am the replica
the second daughter
of the golden mold
now showing its dead
lead
soul

I look like my mother
For all the magic of tight jeans
and tighter words
My fairy-ring of dark makeup
and darker poetry
drawn mysteriously at midnight
where I’ll crouch
alone to cultivate my strangeness
to be away from her

I look like my mother
I’ll save it like a curse
Until I become her
The dead will bury the living
And I will burn her picture
But someone will always know

Robert Pattinson: “If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads"

This is beautiful. I can't say I can relate, but the way it flows and the way it describes what it is your feeling, I can understand.

This is amazing. I really can't believe how well this turned out. One of my favorites, honestly. (:

Love is only a dirty trick played on us to achieve continuation of the species. ~W. Somerset Maugham, A Writer's Notebook, 1949

You will find your way. Everyone has thier own path. But it's thier choice to use it. FInd yours and travel it until you know it with your eyes close.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. Friends are like balloons: once you let them go, you can't get them back. So I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

it sucks to know im not the only one.....i would never wish that on anyone
