My life feels like I am perpetually trying to get my shit together

The mind is a child that poisons the body over it's tantrums

Living feels twisted, gnarled like the roots of a tree that grew somewhere it was never meant to

Is it a crime to desire a life beyond my own?

Is it a crime to want to be anyone but me?

Lover, I am selfish

Lover, I am wicked

Lover, I want to hold to you so tightly that you never go

Is it such a sin to want something so terribly?

Crazy woman, crazy woman

I dream of plane crashes on my front lawn

I have a newfound fear of flying

I wish we had met before the world ruined me

I wish I could love you as the person you deserve

I want to be sixteen again

A year of ballerina tea and vodka

I have my best ideas high

I just can't remember them...

I can only cry when I'm drunk

I can only feel when I'm numb

“In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.”
