Escape I want to run away; To be alone For only a little while To escape From my feelings My thoughts The demons around me And those stuck in my head

Empty These lonely nights Where I stare at my ceiling Feeling completely nothing Empty

Favorite Book I wish you were a book so I could flip through your pages and underline my favorite things about you fold your pages' corners and tell my friends about how wonderful you are I would save you in a bookshelf next to my bed where i come to escape reality and dream the things that make me happy I would read you again and again as if you were the only book I've got and I would take you everywhere with me because you would make me happy with the way you choose your words and how sweetly you let them flow through paper

Opposites Attract They say "opposites attract" but I think people like us fall in love with people like us. We fall in love with ourselves. I think it takes more than just anyone to be with one of us. We see the deeper parts of people. We long for their souls, for their garden of thoughts, for feeling their backbone, their spine, inhaling the words they breathe. We see more in people because of what we know ourselves. I think we fall in love with people like us, people with beautiful words, and thoughts, and glances at strangers and artistry. We can't just wake up in the morning and go to work. We want to lie in bed, counting the freckles on our shoulder, how many times a raindrop hits the window. We breathe differently. We strive off of beauty, that's why we can't settle for just anyone who's different. There's got to be a person we find beauty in. Who thinks, and feels, and wonders as remarkably as we sometimes do. I think we fall for people who are like us because they understand, appreciate, relate, and know the way we experience and feel. And I think that's important. They say opposites attract, like magnets, they're pulled, from different places, ending up together. But we don't need opposites, or magnetic force. We're on the same side, we don't need to be pulled together. We're already there.
