"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
Not like me to be apathetic Or unwilling to pull it together. One whose passion frequently overflows, And who all storms can weather. But wide awake I lie here.
Here I lay.. Thinking "oh I'm fine now" "I'm over you totally" but as I read these quotes on love and hurt, it makes my love-less heart feel of sadness, and regret.
People often ask me if I know you. For a moment I get lost in my thoughts. I remember that lonely boy who constantly feels pain. I still feel that. I remember that sad boy who's tired of life.
A warm feeling has washed over me As slow as the moons rolling tides And lifted my body from the sand.
One hundred posts, GO ME. Thank you to my Opuss family. In September, about three months ago, I started to write and let my words flow. All day I looked for an app of words.
This is my hundredth Opuss, I'm gonna make it great, It'll be spectacular, I just cannot wait. It's a a birthday of 100, Opusses today, We're going to surprise it with, A hip hip hooray.
Hello again, and today is Friday, January 11, 2013. Today I got my test results from a high school I applied to. I passed the test but have yet to know whether or not I'm getting in.
Try to stay above it all Feelings are messy Complicated I don't need those Foreign and strange But maybe it wouldn't be so bad I want it now Not strange and foreign I want it close to me I want to...
Fairytale I wrote you a fairytale of love, happiness, full of hope.. Dragons, witches, elves and midgets. A princess, a knight riding into sunsets never to part..
The rain seems to fall,. But I don't seem to notice,. Growing in depression,. Drifting away like a lost lotus,. The rain seems to pour,. But I couldn't give a care,. I've lost my faith and hope,.
Hello again and today is Thursday, January 10, 2013. Now this may seem foreign to you, writing for pleasure. As if. But by the end of the year ahead of you, you too will see the light in it.
200 hundred posts,. Rhymes and rhythms,. A range of topics,. Released from my brains prison,. I've no idea,. Where my thoughts arise,. Some pop in my head,. Leaving even me surprised,.
I've been looking back over old stories and poems that I've written, and I've found that the themes are quite... Worrying, shall we say.
How, by definition Does it feel to be alive Is it something that we do Or is it that for which we strive.
There are days I find it really difficult to be a mom. My son wasn't horrible, but I started thinking about my life before him. I miss the friends I had before, I feel like I abandoned them.
(Contains a couple unladylike words). ***. It's a shame how sappy I truthfully am. Lovesick and emotional. Really now,. Damn. It's ridiculous. And sickening. I reread these posts. And want to scream.

Taking a nap In the middle of the day Does that mean I'm old. Please lie when you say Losing my breath When climbing the stairs Am I out of shape.
#bestofopuss I love this poem as i normally feel like this.
I'm not going to lie .. I'm not a great writer. I can't write a poem for crap. I hate poems .. But I still stay on this site because all of you are oh so nice.
#bestofopuss I don't know why But I no longer cry I thought it's my heart But it turns out my tears are dry I have been here for a while Looking through my pile It seems all the past years Were...
Let's hangout when we can see the stars. Let us be chill and think for ourselves. Let it come to us as it may. Let us enjoy each other in a new way. Give in a little and let go a little.
Maybe it's the cat that crossed the street, Maybe it's the shoes you wear on your feet. Maybe it's the bracelet on your hand. Maybe it's the way you stepped in the sand.
