Make yourself a priority.

[caitlin-knows]

Overwhelmed as I am,

I’m still right here,

For you,

For us.

[caitlin-knows]

Reaching out for hope isn't as glamorous as I thought it would be.

[caitlin-knows]

Disheartened

Look at you

You’re swept up in the glamour

You can’t even comprehend it

If you last this long, I swear I’ll confess

Love letters are often thrown

Letters from my heart disgraced

Cold in the dusk

Simple, say yes.

[caitlin-knows]

conflict

needing you

wanting you

drugs in my hair

soft violet

lead me to the end

I do

say you fucking don’t

[caitlin-knows]

his eyes melting into mine

electric

he is the thunderstorm I shy away from

the rain I shield

fog in my mind

good vibes around

him forever on my lips

[caitlin-knows]

Beautiful.

He’s beautiful. I wish you could see how beautiful he is. I feel the blood rush to my face as he calls out my name. My fingertips shake with anticipation and I brace myself for the rejection, it never comes. I look in his eyes, they shine with love, love for me, the world and himself. He’s beautiful, his soul is beautiful, don’t break him.

[caitlin-knows]

Imagine.

Never again, I say.

Never again.

I see you, I hear you, I touch you.

Sparks!

What a liar, I am.

[caitlin-knows]

Fall.

It’s so dry here. I can barely breathe. The trees green in their reflection shake ever so slightly. The view an everlasting mountain of sun. It shakes me to my core as the ground below me gives way.

I fall.

[caitlin-knows]

Self-love ❤️

Okay, so I wanted to put this out there.

All of you are beautiful. Every single one of you is beautiful. You are beautiful no matter what your skin color, religion, gender or sexual orientation is. You are amazing. No one has the right to tell you otherwise.

It doesn’t matter what your idea of beautiful is and what you think a person should act and look like. The world is already a cruel and negative place to be in. Ask yourself why you feel the need to bring more negativity into it. Be kind. Love your body. Love yourself. In the end, love prevails. ♥️

Ghosts

Here’s to all the people we lost,

The people we couldn’t save,

The people who tried to save us,

The people who would smile so brightly even the stars couldn’t outshine them,

The people who kept going despite the ache that would remain forever in their bones,

Here’s to those people with their gentle yet fierce spirits who showed us what a beautiful thing this world can be.

Forever grateful for you.

[caitlin-knows]

The End.

Your lips soft as ever against mine, tears soaking each other, you pull away.

“Please, say something. Say you want me, love me, miss me.” I beg you.

 I replay that moment a thousand times but it always ends with you walking away.

Waves 🌊

She reminded me of an ocean, pulling me into her glorious heart as the waves hauled people to their untimely demise. She matched the ocean in its depth and had many a sailor burnt themselves for her love. A tsunami wrapped into something so beautiful, yet so dangerous. I would die at her hand and it would be glorious. 

[caitlin-knows]

Fight.

And not everyone survives. This world isn’t for all of us, we scratch, fight, smile and cry ourselves out. For what? To be pushed down again? To rise through the pain? To walk through the fire that burns so everlasting in our souls?

Fuck, yes. We will continue to claw ourselves through all of the turmoil headed towards us because we are stronger, smarter and worth every bit of happiness that comes after the pain, the tears and the screams. 

Fight. You fucking fight. 

[caitlin-knows]

The sun, the moon and you 🌟

They say the worst thing about falling in love is falling in love with someone who doesn’t love you back.

This may be true but I say the worst thing about falling in love is seeing them love someone who doesn’t treat them the way they deserve to be treated.

It’s as if the moon loved the sun but the stars were its soulmate. They loved the moon so much they became millions so that the moon could shine as brightly as it can while the sun left it to its own demise.

[caitlin-knows]

Run.

The both of you were destined to die. The spark was meant to die out.

Say your goodbyes because she’s out there. She’s waiting for you.

But I’m sorry to say the one you’re with now isn’t yours. She will never be yours. You just don’t know it yet.

Talk to me when it’s over, I’ll guide you to her.

It isn’t me. But there’s someone out there waiting to treat you with all the respect and love you deserve.

You just need to run now.

Run.

Run.

Run.

If I was gay I would think hip-hop hates me Have you read the Youtube comments lately "Man that's gay" Gets dropped on the daily We've become so numb to what we're sayin' Our culture founded from oppression Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em Call each other faggots behind the keys of a message board A word routed in hate, yet our genre still ignores it Gay is synonymous with the lesser It's the same hate that's caused wars from religion Gender to skin color the complexion of your pigment The same fight that lead people to walk-outs and sit-ins, It's human rights for everybody There is no difference Live on! And be yourself!

Same Love, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

False.

I came across a picture of you today. I thought I’d be fine seeing you, I thought I’d moved on.

Oh boy! I couldn’t have been more wrong, but it’s okay. It hurt but I was happy for you, for me, for us. We’ve come far without each other and that may sound harsh but there was a time when we thought we couldn’t survive without each other and yet again, how wrong we were.
