"You can taste sorrow in salt tears and in the bitterness of spoiled words left in your mouth for far too long. You can hear sorrow in a familiar song. You can hide sorrow behind closed doors and inside screams muffled by pillowcases. You can stick to sorrow as if it were gum in your hair; too mangled to brush out, too jarring to chop off. You can see sorrow in bloodshot eyes and shaky hands. You can get lost in sorrow when it knocks your life off course with no detour signs to redirect you. Most importantly, you can be found in sorrow by becoming a different version of your self, here, on the other side of tragedy." - Anonymous -

Above the appalling ruin; in bleak light Of your stormy eye, magic takes flight

"The strongest people I know have been overtaken by their weaknesses. They know what it’s like to lose control. The strongest people I know have cried in the shower and in their car. They know loss and guilt all too well. The strongest people I know aren’t bullet proof. They have felt the searing pain of life’s shots.  The strongest people I know make the decision every day to wake up and place their two feet on the ground even though they know the monsters beneath their bed will grab at their ankles. The strongest people I know are not strong by definition, at all. They are mistake-makers. They are mess-creators. They are survivors." Alicia Cook - Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately

I love endearing names call me lover and I'll run river for you call me the moon, I'll be that for you but the way some people call you by your name, like sweet honeydew soft, but also tingly like frost bites it sends shivers all over your back every syllable rolls off of their tongue like it was destiny that your name was made for their mouth to be the castle in which it resides and it makes you wonder has your name always been this beautiful since before it leaves its throne
