"I'm Scared" That's the day he realized he had fell for her.“I’m scared” he told her over and over again and waited for her to understand, because when she understood he would know that she had fell for him too. A few years later and she had learned to forget the fear of falling to hard, because she knew she was already in over her head. Till that day he bent down on one knee, and it all came rushing back. “I’m scared” was all she said so he continued to kiss every finger on her hand. A few sweet nothings and pointless fighting later, he was rushing his wife through the hospital doors, but it all went by in a daze. Till he was standing over her bed and staring at the beautiful little girl. He realized that he was once again scared but this time it was for her instead. A few scraped knees and butterfly kisses later, she realized her baby would soon be grown and she was scared to lose her. Little did she know that they had such little time. “I’m scared” his daughter told him as she held his hand and watched her mother lay in a hospital bed once again. Tubes running up and down his wife's arms were the only thing to keep her breathing; he knew she wasn't really with them anymore. So he cried and as he let out a sob and held the only thing he had left he said “I’m not.”

Fake Smiles Today they asked my class to come up to the stage. Then called our names one by one off of a folded page. Finally they said my name, and I gave a timid smile. My teacher cleared her throat But didn't speak for quite a while. I started to wonder if she had forgotton the words she had clearly well rehearsed. So I was surprised when she announced that I hadn't been her best but I wasn't her worst. I had always sat in the back and would be whispering and smiling with my friends. But my smile was what she loved most in the very end. Then she went on to say that she never, not once saw my smile fade away. But as she spoke I felt the corners of my lips slowly start to slip. Because the thing she liked most was all just an act, and the smile I wore was the only thing keeping me intact.y

This Is #life Maybe we all just fall too hard and scar to easy; tears still running and bruises still fading. With little girls falling in love to just end up bleeding, and little boys marching their way to war to only come back so much worse then before. That’s why this time around, the kids are the ones who know it all. Leaving the adults to wonder how we’ve learned so much when we’re still so small. This #life taught us by treating us like dirt. But it decided to go backwards, and teach us the bad things first. But it turned our skin into armor; our words into weapons, and made us all into actors because all of our feelings turned into angry actions.

First Day I still remember that very first day; I was so surprised when you called me by name. I didn't think you’d ever take the time to learn it; Or maybe I just didn't think I was good enough to deserve it

Worthless She hid away the truth With all her ruthless lies. Wasted away all her youth Trying so hard to be wise. She fell asleep to tainted Dreams only to wake up with scars. Became so used to The kind of love that cost. From big men with bigger pockets, who always smell Of cigars. They call it the city of Lights, but everything's Bathed in a shade of gray. Everybody's your friend here, they say? So how come when you Need them most They all turn their heads The other way?
