All over again
Back to square one
Been here before
Not getting any easier
Need to clear my head
Close my eyes
Shed a tear
Things are fussier
Afraid I've fallen deep
Unexpectantly
Should I let go now?
Or hold on tighter?
It is what it is
Attraction, a shouldn't be
An unconcluded
Bittersweet nothing
Back to square one

Unexpectantly
Should I let go now?
Or hold on tighter?
It is what it is
Attraction, a shouldn't be
An unconcluded
Bittersweet nothing

Literature
Age 16 Page 1
Every day of your life up until this point
Has been a prologue to the tale of you
Those mistakes that you have made in your childhood
They may be many or they may be few
But please don’t allow them to shape or to shift
The person that you were born to become
Keep in mind that the night is at its darkest
In the moments before we see the sun
I see pure potential run through your being
In your soul, deep beneath your callow skin
A unique story is waiting to be told
That the world will never see again
And though it begins with ‘once upon a time’
This is not a sugar spun fairytale
Each chapter and verse now lies in your hand
Literature
Memory
Memory is like the tide,
It swells and ebbs;
It's free and wide,
Yet ridden with dregs.
At times it's calm—
Soothing and sweet;
Like a tender balm,
A gentle beat.
It's violent, too—
Coarse and bitter;
Like a vicious coup,
A cruel winter.
In it, I do bask,
Adrift in my mind;
I need only ask
To be lost in time.
Literature
One of Many.
One of Many.
I'm afraid of your judgments.
I'm afraid of what you will think of me.
So I make subtle adjustments
And become someone you want me to be.
I hide behind my mascara and concealer.
Smile and respond when instructed.
I'm not smart or sexy enough to be a leader.
So I allow myself to become conducted.
I allow myself to become obstructed.
I allow myself to become abducted.
I allow myself to become corrupted.
I allow myself to become artificial.
I allow myself to become superficial.
I allow myself to become egotistical
And live behind a carefully applied screen.
Because my real face can never be seen.
It's easier to act

This is an installment of some of my entries -- classic over-thinking that has fallen into a pattern of dos-and-don'ts. It is all because I became too preoccupied with unwanted thoughts. I became selfish. I didn't care that much about the implications.
Minding the consequences & the what-ifs, it is just not worth it. Given the current situation that we are in, all the reasons & feelings involved, the unresolved issues, the apprehensions -- there seems to be no point...
Assumptions are devious. It always has been... and "I don't want to assume at all".
Time has been wasted on nonsense. I can feel my head crack. But, my heart is still hopeful -- will always be hopeful.
Yes, this is just a phase. One of these days, I will outgrow it.

This piece a lot of emotion going on. And that's what I love about this, cause most just write which defeats the point of making the reader feel something. But you conveyed an emotion and made feel just that, which I appreciate a lot. Awesome job. FAV! <3
