And treat those two imposters just the same;
~ from IF- by Rudyard Kipling.
Am I that easy to forget?
~answer me~
I give,
I give.
I give more than what people deserve.
I give,
I give all my time;
But these mortals never value mine.
I give,
I give so unconditionally;
And end up feeling drained and empty.
~HOLLOW~
Staring at my screen
Got hundreds of pages to read
Yet my mind wanders somewhere.
Staring at my screen
And the time flies;
Endless logical debates
Now my head's starting to ache.
Staring at my screen with one thing in mind,
How many of my precious days have gone by?
How can you heal if you’re actively ignoring the pain?

How broken have you left me
That even words and poetry doesn't amuse me.
Never let desperation over rule your self worth

Sylvia Plath quotes for the signs
(All quotes from the book - The unabridged journals of Sylvia Plath )
Aries: “I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don’t ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?”
Taurus: “I like people too much or not at all. I've got to go down deep, to fall into people, to really know them.”
Gemini: “I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
Cancer: “I act and react, and suddenly I wonder, ‘Where is the girl that I was last year? Two years ago? What would she think of me now?”
Leo: “Remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now. Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted”
Virgo: “It seems to me more than ever that I am a victim of introspection. If I have not the power to put myself in the place of other people, but must be continually burrowing inward, I shall never be the magnanimous creative person I wish to be.”
Libra: “Here I am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams, knotted up in a reasonably attractive bundle of flesh. I remember what this flesh has gone through; I dream of what it may go through.”
Scorpio: “I desire the things that will destroy me in the end.”
Sagittarius: “I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love’s not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either.”
Capricorn: “To look at her, you might not guess that inside she is laughing and crying, at her own stupidities and luckiness, and at the strange enigmatic ways of the world which she will spend lifetime trying to learn and understand”
Aquarius: “Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little, love me a little? For all my despair, for all my ideals, for all that - I love life. But it is hard, and I have so much - so very much to learn.”
Pisces: “I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.”
"Now I'll never see him again, and maybe it's a good thing. He walked out of my life last night for once and for all. I know with sickening certainty that it's the end."
-Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
Questions I have for the signs:
(Check venus sign also)
Aries: The lovers of chase. Allured by the trophy and thrilled by the chase, do you prefer adrenaline to oxytocin?
Taurus: The earthy Venusian, forever listening, supporting and embracing their loved ones. But do you draw the line between those sweet gestures and smothering attention?
Gemini: A dash of wit, a touch of tease, you sweep mortals feets with your sweet nothings. Even the most interesting person gets boring at times, would you still cope up?
Cancer: O' sweet moon child, ever tender and loving, why do you let your guard down for the wrong ones and retreat into your shell for the good ones?
Leo: A heart overflowing with love, so unconditional and devoted. You surely deserved to be treated like royalty, but how higher can your expectations be?
Virgo: Serenity but no one knows the waves raging in your soul. You are so perfect in the eyes of your loved ones, your flaws are even more beautiful, but why are so harsh on yourself?
Libra: Hopeless romantics at heart, showering loved ones with Roses, poetry and kisses. Glossing over even the illusions, how far can you go to avoid confrontations?
Scorpio: Mysterious aura and that penetrating gaze, mortals are trapped in your cage. Their words, emotions and quirks engraved in your brain, how hard is the art of letting go?
Sagittarius: The archer shooting cupid arrows straight to mortals hearts. Love is a blissful adventure, but are you sure whether you're looking before you leap?
Capricorn: A mountain goat inhabiting in the peaks, out in the cold and secluded. Do you know how much of a treat is it to see you lighten up like a kid in love?
Aquarius: With terabytes of compassion and altruism buried in the heart longing to share with the world. Like a dandelion seed wandering along the gale, can you still hold on when things get tough?
Pisces: The fishes love to glide as a couple. Intoxicated by the illusions in your mind, how blurry are your neptunian dreams?
You never need another person or thing to fill that void in your soul.
