    i’ve got a truck for the weekend and i’m lying in its bed,
    staring up at the cloudless sky and wishing you were next to me
    to help me count the stars.

    i wish you’d had a camera to capture the look in my eyes as i stood on the precipice.
    i’d have liked to have seen a hint of bravery.

    i am not ready for departure but i’m going anyway.

    daily i am reminded of god’s grace,
    and i show it to others
    but daily, i must remind myself that i need to show this grace to myself.

    i am so unbelievably enough.

    sarah marie commented on the post, overt 5 years, 8 months ago

    am i too overt with you?
    or am i really being honest?

    why do we live in a world where it’s unacceptable to express how we feel?

    sarah marie commented on the post, adolescent 5 years, 8 months ago

    i am no longer considered an adolescent
    but when i look in the mirror
    i don’t see an adult
    and when i’m forced to look inside myself
    i don’t feel grown enough to take on the world

    i called the drug dealer yesterday
    to see if there was a return policy on you
    and to see if there was a cure for the side effects you left on my heart

    i have witnessed my own destruction
    i have seen my body fall to the floor, in pieces

    apprehend my heart
    take my soul captive
    cover my lips with yours and forget to let me breathe.
    it would be my pleasure to have you break me in two.

    sarah marie commented on the post, standing 5 years, 12 months ago

    i could be standing in a crowded room
    or standing alone on the edge of a mountain
    surrounded by life
    and feel dead
    because something deep within me
    between the spaces of my atoms
    cries out for you

    you have so much influence over who i am as a person,

    sarah marie commented on the post, instant 6 years, 5 months ago

    that’s all it takes.
    one instant.
    everything can change.

    that’s terrifying.

    but
    it’s also sort of refreshing.
    at any moment,
    you can change yourself. be anything you want to me.

    that’s also sort of terrifying.

    beware of the voice in the back of your head
    who whispers about demons who wish you were dead.

    be careful, dear one, or you will find
    that this voice, these demons, will take over your mind.
