8. Fine, damn you all.
:eyes:


It's completely random, even I have no idea what it means. :P

Looking Through

Looking out the window.
Book in my hand, jewelry on the table.
Bare feet.

Music whirls around my head.
Humming out of tune.
Warm sweater.

Tick, tick, ticking the clock.
What it means, I know not.
Ringing hour.

Picture in a frame.
Time goes by.
Thinking back.

The mirror reflects me.
Eyes looking through.
Hope comes.

Fears are fading.
Light is coming.
I’m here.

18. Dear Diary..
Why do people always look at me like I'm the crazy one just because I talk to myself out loud? I mean, it's the only way to have a decent conversation anymore. Unless I'm talking to you, of course, but diaries don't talk back! That's just silly.




They write back.
