do you trace my body with your mind.
count out all of the steps that tap in time.
and the way your breathing falls with mine.
because i don’t.
Listen
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go. You know, you know - no you don’t.
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men;
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand. Another head aches, another heart breaks; I’m so much older than I can take.
And my affection, well it comes and goes.
I need direction to perfection, help me out. You know you got to help me out; don’t you put me on the...
There’s decisions to be made, and I won’t play along.
I’m sick of my life.

I need a fucking job
IT used to go QUESTION and then ANSWER
but we were younger and it was easy
and now it goes
QUESTION and then QUESTION, QUESTION
ANSWERS don’t come so easy
But I am a grown up, so I should find something to occupy my time
Instead of notebooks filled with nonsense, looking for ANSWERS that I’ll never find.
Last night, I thought of something for the first time.
People are always saying, “Don’t worry, it’ll work out just fine. The past is the past. Keep the past in the past. The future is bright.” But what do I do when the present is the past? And the future will become the past? And it all turns to shadows and into these monsters that hide in your close and under your bed....
Day 29 and 30
Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned?
That if you spill acid on yourself, you’re supposed to get naked immediately. Good way to get ladies? Spill acid on them… not.
Day 30- Who are you?
I am Shannon. My leg muscles are twitching.
FRONT BOTTOMS TONIGHT
UPDATE LATER :)
Day 27
I’m doing this challenge to keep myself busy and kind of create a timeline of myself. So I can look back on this and go, “My god, I was an idiot.”
“Bury me far from my uniform, so God might remember my face.”
Day 26 - What you think of your friends
I don’t even understand what this question means. Obviously I like all of them.

Day 24 - A Letter To Your Parents
Mom and Dad,
Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,...
It completely baffles me how I feel like such an adult compared to so many people. No idea how that happened.
Day 22- What makes you different from everyone...
I sincerely do what I want to do.
If this were Facebook, this would be in the...
Friend: So, right as I was about to leave the house, there was this tobacco commercial on. It was like, "Oh, yeah, I used to be the captain of my soccer team and then I started smoking, and I don't have any endurance anymore, so I can't play. I used to have this great boyfriend, but he hated smokers, so he broke up with me. My parents don't respect me anymore... etc."
Friend: I watched it, and my only reaction was "OH!! I almost forgot my cigarettes!"
