despite all the things I have ever tried to become, nothing could erase the fact that I am a writer at heart.

Don’t Let her Fall for you Please don’t let her fall for you. Don’t let her heart swell at the sound of your laugh or the taste of your lips. Don’t let her familiarize your features from every freckle or spot to every beauty mark. Don’t let her fall in deep, so deep that she won’t be able to get out. Don’t let her body remember your caresses or kisses. Don’t let her fingers memorize the touch of your skin or texture of your hair. Don’t let her fall for you. Don’t let her get used to sleepless nights tangled up in bedsheets screaming each others names. Don’t let her get used to your scent, to the point where all she smells is you. Don’t let her memorize the exact shade of your eyes, till it’s her favourite colour. Don’t let her mind and body get comfortable with you. Don’t invade her mind, where all she thinks about is you. Don’t let her fall for you, just because it’s cute. Don’t let her fall for you because your empty and need something for the pain. Don’t let fall for you if you won’t ever love her how she’ll love you. Because when the day comes, where she wakes up and you’ve erased yourself from her life. You’ll ruin her, break her, destroy her where no one will be able to put her back together. Her mind will only think of you and her heart will never forget you. She’ll try her best to get rid of you. Burn the pictures you took and the clothes you left. All the things you bought her will be thrown away. Her mind will never let her forget so she drinks. She try’s her best to forget you like you never existed. But nothing works, she takes shot after shot, drinks beer after beer, and soon the bottles of wine add up to the amount of days you’ve been gone. But she’ll never forget. Every day the image of you will pour in her head, all your memories spewing like vomit. She’ll have no control and all she do is cry. An ocean of tears will come out her eyes. They’ll pour down her face and drip on her thighs. Your unforgettable scent making things worse. She’ll try to play music again but the piano keys and guitar strings feel different after her fingers have memorized you.

But if you act like you don’t belong, if you act like you’re apologetic for your own self, then people will start to treat you that way, too.

Homeless people who do drugs still deserve a home.

Still deserve food and money and medical care, too.
