tell me

[the-worlds-wonder]

home sweet home

every time i’m home,

i feel like im 17 again.

it feels like a plastic bag,

being held over my head.

it’s hard to breathe,

and i can’t see the way ahead.

gratitude

whenever my mother would say i wasn’t grateful for the things she did, it would pierce my heart

i didn’t understand how she could say these things, because i knew i was grateful

it wasn’t until recently that i realized she was right, i wasn’t grateful

i wasn’t grateful, because i felt guilty — guilty that she had do the things she did

and it wasn’t because i didn’t appreciate her efforts

it’s because i was a little girl who was taught to say “please” and “thank you”, but never how to show gratitude

so i let to the guilt pile up, because that’s all i knew.

I knew logically that he was just gonna disappear from my life without saying anything about this, but for some reason it still caught me emotionally off guard when he didn’t follow me or try to say anything

I’m fighting myself. I know I am. One minute I want to remember. The next minute I want to live in the land of forgetting. One minute I want to feel. The next minute I never want to feel ever again.

do you ever sit with a group of people and not say anything for  the entire time so theres no reason for you to be there youre just awkwardly listening to people converse while doing your own thing and wondering how its so easy for them to just talk or why its so hard for you to say anything

Males who don’t know how to cook or clean piss me off. Their parents piss me off. Their whole ancestry line pisses me off.

Silverstein always has been, and always will be my favorite poet because he doesn’t even need words in his poem to make people open their eyes.

HIDDEN MESSAGE IN HEATHENS:

Think about it (!!!?!!!?): In the music video, Tyler performed on stage (so he thought) with Josh. But notice, Tyler became a different person when he stepped on stage. His old orange prison cloths literally RIPPED off his body as he took his first step onto the stage. He became a new person, he had a new image. He could see that the bass was left for him. So he stepped up and he started to play. He started to express himself. You could see he felt free and totally comfortable. He felt alive. But then he started to attract the REST of the prisoners. He starts to attract all the “heathens”, all the criminal minds, all the imperfect ones, all the judged ones, all the broken ones. He was shocked and shy at first, but then he realised these “heathens” we’re cheering him on. They were encouraging him, they were supporting him. So he eased up and closed his eyes and focused. Eventually (when the beat dropped lol) he let himself go again, now knowing that these “heathens”, whoever they were, were HIS people. And then at the end of he video, it all seemed to be a big illusion, a dream. You see him sitting in the middle of an open prison room with guards pointing their guns directly at him, to make sure he doesn’t escape or move in any direction. When he stepped out of his dreamy state of mind (him singing on stage), he realised he was trapped. He was taken back to the reality of the situation. He was a beaten down, judged, broken, not listened to prisoner again.

He feels free and alive on stage. He feels like he can be his true self on stage and express all he has inside his mind and heart. But when that’s all over, he’s back to being a prisoner, he’s back to being helpless.

But we’re his “heathens”. We’re the ones cheering him on.

We are his people.
