my face was cut out of the picture. i’m not sure if this
was everyone’s intention or the side of the picture which
held my (s m i l i n g?) face just happened to have slipped
off of the edge. i laughed along with everyone else, but
when the smile’s a pretend, pretty fake smile then i guess
it’s not really a smile to begin with.

and i tried breathing today without much satisfaction. it all
ended up in my heart hurting and then he passed by me and
it caused my heart to skip a beat which caused me in the act
of passing out right there in the rush of the crowd.

i’m starting to very much dislike the word love. and whether
or not it can be defined, is beyond my everything entirely. all
it ever gave me was the sound of my heart breaking. and it
showed me just what exactly my tears tasted like.

my dreams were never beautiful because everyone has decided
to step on them on their way out the door. that’s when i decided
to hang them up on my ceiling like little twirling stars. and i
remind myself that the girl in the mirror is not who everyone
believes she is.

but it’s not so bad. each day i become more accustomed to the
idea of smiling a real smile and cutting pretend out of my picture
instead of me.

falling and falling away; out of sight, until all we have left is a
hint of truth and the true definition of love.

i could be an accident, but i'm still trying.

You are very talented and I am impressed with your writing.
I like this line among others:
"and i tried breathing today without much satisfaction"
I like the whole theme and moralof this piece.
Very well done.

Woah...I always love your work, but this has to be one of my favorites.
My favorite lines were, "all it ever gave me was the sound of my heart breaking. and it showed me just what exactly my tears tasted like." I can relate to that so well it's unbelievable.
Thanks for sharing, this is going in my libary.

If I could fall asleep tonight
you know I’d dream of you
and wake up wondering
why my heart is so cold
