- Keeping Things Whole
In a field I am the absence of field. This is always the case. Wherever I am I am what is missing. When I walk I part the air and always the air moves in to fill the spaces where my body's been. We all have reasons for moving. I move to keep things whole.
Roger McGough
- Goodbat Nightman
God bless all policemen and fighters of crime. May thieves go to jail for a very long time. They've had a hard day helping clean up the town. Now they hang from the mantelpiece, both upside down. A glass of warm blood and then straight up the stairs, Batman and Robin are saying their prayers... They've filled their batwater-bottles, made their batbeds, with two springy battresses for sleep batheads. They're closing red eyes and their counting black sheep. Batman and Robin are falling asleep.

- Anecdote of the Jar
I placed a jar in Tennessee, and round it was, upon a hill. It made the slovenly wilderness surround that hill. The wilderness rose up to it, and sprawled around, no longer wild. The jar was round upon the ground and tall and of a port in air. It took dominion everywhere. The jar was gray and bare. It did not give of bird or bush, like nothing else in Tennessee.

- I'm having your baby
She worked her way through a cheap pack of cigarettes. Hard liquor mixed with a bit of intellect. And all the boys, they were saying they were into it. Such a pretty face, on a pretty neck she's driving me, crazy. But I'm into it, but I'm into it, I'm kinda into it, it's getting crazy. I think I'm losing it, I think I'm losing it, oh I think she said...
From everybody
The sound of my keyboard clicking is the most satisfying thing in my opinion. On the opposite end, something very unsatisfying is trying to type as fast as I can on this website, and people go ham on punctuations and capitals. Now I can understand capitals cause fine. But punctuations?! Girl were not in English class. Like; Damn, Please' Daddy: "Chill."
Lily Fuentes
I wish you loved me the way I love you. I hate how you can ignore me for hours and be okay. I know you've had rough experiences in the past when it comes to love. You thought you had found true love multiple times but you were looking in the wrong places. Now that I'm here, I have to suffer from your actions. Actions that you're only committing because you're too afraid to get hurt again. I want to make you feel loved. I want to give you the world. But I don't know how much I can suffer.

- Waterfall
A waterfall is a point in a river or stream where water flows over a vertical drop or a series of steep drops. Waterfalls also occur where melted water drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf.
Obscure Sorrows
- plata rasa
The lulling sound of a running dishwasher, whose steady maternal shushing somehow puts you completely at peace with not having circumnavigated anything solo.
Obscure Sorrows
- jouska
A hypothetical conversation that you compulsively play out in your head - a crisp analysis, a devastating comeback, a cathartic heart-to-heart - which serves as a kind of psychological batting cage that feels far more satisfying than the small-ball strategies of everyday life.
Obscure Sorrows
- looseleft
Feeling a sense of loss upon finishing a good book, sensing the weight of the back cover locking away the lives of characters you've gotten to know so well.

- Mistakes
If you made a mistake once, you come out, not a scratch on the face. It's fine if you make a mistake once or twice. There's nothing wrong with that. But if you make that mistake more than 3 times, like 4 times even, that is not fine. You'll get a warning. And if you do it again and again, that just means you're doing it on purpose. And well you know, you'll get another warning. And if you do it again, I don't think then you'll come out without a scratch on your face. So just be-careful.

- Invincible
I wish to feel invincible. I let everyone around me affect my perception and views of ourselves. I want to be able to block them out and allow myself to truly feel freedom for the very first time. I do not want to be so scared of being alone. I want to prosper. Be more than who I used to be.

- Getting Older
I wish someone had told me I'd be doing this by myself. I want to feel like there are people in this world with my best intentions at heart truly but. The more days pass by, the more they become more and more blurry. Feeling like a neverending cycle. I start arguments in the hopes it will make people see me more. I use my emotions as an excuse or a smokescreen. I don't know what I want but I know what everyone else wants.
DeeDee
I have truly never understood the point of being here really? Every day feels like an endless cycle of the same thing over and over again. The feeling of being alone makes me sick to my stomach seeing everyone around me being prioritized and taken care of makes my blood boil and tears flood into my eyes. All I want is to fill the void inside of me. I always feel like something is missing. Am I the reason, do I expect too much, or have I just never been treated right by anyone around me?

- Strawberry blonde
Look at you, strawberry blond. Reach out the car window trying to hold the wind. You tell me you love her; I give you a grin, oh all I ever wanted was a life in your shape so I follow the white lines, follow the while lines keep my eyes on the road as I ache. Look at you, strawberry blond fields rolling on I love it when you call my name. Can you hear the bumblebees swarm ? watching your arm I love it when you look my way.
Robert Frost
- Tree at my Window
Tree at my window, window tree, my sash is lowered when night comes on; but let there never be curtain drawn between you and me... But, tree, I have seen you taken and tossed, and if you have seen me when I slept, you have seen me when I was taken and swept and all but lost. That day she put our heads together, fate had her imagination about her, your head is so much concerned with outer, mine with inner, weather.

- Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now is hung with bloom along the bough, and stands about the woodland ride wearing white for Eastertide. Now, of my threescore years and ten, twenty will not come again, and take from seventy springs a score, it only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom fifty springs are little room, about the woodlands I will go to see the cherry hung with snow.
