I'm feeling extremely triggered right now, and panicked, and sick, but the main point is that I made it through my graduation on Saturday. I remember a time when I planned to be gone, but
I'm not dead.

groceries for free.

LithiaAll I ask is that you drive fastLithia by ~sense-and-stupidity
when I need you to.
That you keep the windows rolled up
to keep in the heat
and leave the music low,
like a lull,
so I can sleep under the rocking motion
of the car,
one arm balanced against the glass.
I want to go on a road trip with you
every time the rain falls in that gentle way
that reminds me of the afternoon
we walked the muddy paths of Lithia Park,
taking pictures of statues
and tiny rock pools,
laughing
and splashing each other
with tree branches.
I want to remember the solitary feel
of being close to you after so long;
the ecstasy of bridging that gap
that yawned between us, bitter,
for three

and it's funny, you know, i
don't remember most of it
just like last year with
muddy vision &
i managed to write
76 different things
the scraps of paper on my floor
all pretty the same, but at least i
still felt i could speak.
i keep trying to find the words
to describe
what it felt like
to watch my best friend leave
to kiss her that last time
to slowly watch

the smile in his voice
when he said,
this is the happiest i have ever been

face the

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME SO PLEASE READ THISi really want you guys to read one of my favorite poems of all time. ~Svatantrya wrote it and she disappeared a long time ago with no word and it really made me sad. everything was deleted from her page and she was my favorite writer and it just made me really sad. i think about her from time to time and hope she is okay. anyway, i had written down my favorite poem of hers and i'm really glad i did because it is beautiful. i didn't save any of her other poems, but there was one about quitting smoking that i really loved, and there was a lot of sex and new york city and a brooklyn feel and she wrote about things in a way that no one else did and said things no one else would say and i'm pissed because i just remembered i had sent one of her poems to my ex boyfriend a long time ago over facebook messaging and i deleted all my messages recently but oh well. if by some slim chance any of you saved any of her others poems, please let me know because i would love to read her again. anywaTHIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME SO PLEASE READ THIS by ~diddlyhohum
