I'm not always as confident as I seem ... there are many nights and many days when all I want is to be held. I love being held. Always. Sometimes I don't want to talk about what is bothering me ... sometimes I just want a hug ... someone who will let me cry. I like when boys cry in front of me - when people aren't afraid to show what they're really feeling. I don't like when people run from their true feelings because it doesn't do anyone any good. I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I am not naive. I know what it feels like to be completely broken and I am all too familiar with what it means to be hurt. I know what it's like to see something funny and not laugh. I've been taken advantage of, used, and abused. My feelings have been blatantly disregarded. But I still believe that all people are good at heart ... and my trust in people has not diminished. To be completely honest, I hope it never does. Ever.

I know what sadness is. I know how it is to be hurt, I know all of the worst nightmares. I know so many painful things nor will I ever forget them.
It takes a whole lot of us to get ahead, to wake up everyday not thinking of the past, to realize that what we are doing is absolutely the right thing..
Moving on.
Life
When life was a heavy load. I laid it down on the ground. Took only what I needed. My sleep was finally sound. When I felt I was always giving. Never getting much in return.

Rush rush rush... All we do all day is rush. Push push push... All we do all week is push. We are so busy with work we forget its just that- Work.
Confessions Of A Slut
I feel so hollow, And I realize I have no self respect. I realize that I tell myself that all of these guys truly like me, They want to be with me. But they don't.
People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing.
I'm Sensitive And I'd Like To Stay That Way.
Rhinos seem so hard. With skin that never cracks. I'd never make a Rhino. My hide is tissue thin. Don't remark on my strength. I'm superhero strong. With character and drive that startles most.
