she held a handful of stars
in front of pursed lips;
she blew a stream of air
from that pretty little mouth
and scattered the tiny suns
out into the wide universe -
as though she had dumped
a bag of silver glitter
onto a sheet of thick black velvet
It’s just…there’s so much pain. Depression, suicide, abuse, murder, heartbreak, and loneliness. I want to be able to walk up to every damn person, hug them and just say “It’s okay. I’m here for you” but I can’t. Never will be able to. We live in a world where showing emotion is weak and where strength is all that matters. Scientists say humans stopped evolving, and I guess it’s just in time to lose our humanity.
