When I was seven, I was diagnosed with emotions.
"Poor girl." I heard them say. "She'll never survive this one."
I laid with my face towards the ceiling on the cold examination table, listening to them discuss my fate. I felt something breaking in my chest and something burning inside my throat. A small tear slipped down my cheek.
"Doctor! Look at this!" Shrieked my mother, "Something is coming out of her eye."
The doctor rushed over to me and wiped the tear from my cheek. He touched the top of my head as he whispered, "I am so sorry." And then he turned to my mother. "It's a tear. It means that she is sad."
"Sad?" My mother asked inquis
I'm a shut-in, an outcast, a freak. My only connection to the outside world is my computer and I almost never go on social networks. What do I do you may ask.
I write. I write stories filled with twists and turns that lead you down a road I created. My stories are not only for you, however, they are for me as well. I escape my everyday boring life and become an adventurous, heroic, and brave heroine fighting dragons and kissing frogs.
I could become a shy girl thrust into greatness, a princess who gets tired of waiting for the white horse an the handsome prince. My legs and feet could transform into a tail and gills and I could be a beautif
"¿La vida es justa?"
Eso fue lo que dijo aquel hombre, aquel hombre que con tan poco tiempo de conocerlo me ha enseñado tanto, aquel que parece tener una armazón de piedra irrompible, aquel que nunca sabes cuando bromea y cuando no, aquel que nunca sabes que hará, aquel que cuestiona la vida de forma casi poética.

pretty boys break hearts.
sometimes I think Im just a mess of badly drawn lines. Im just scrawled veins beneath paper rough skin, I wear poorly sketched scars on my thighs [skin deep red pen lines] and even my smile is lop-sided- but he never seemed to notice.
my skin [spread like thick icing over my skeleton] is a monotonous pattern of pores, a stretch of the world the sun never kissed. I cant see the beauty in multitudes of freckles and chipped fingernails- but he does.

First Impressions
I remember the first time I met her
a tower of books tucked under her chin
glasses sliding down her nose
that she wiggled like a hare's
I helped her carry the tower
to her brother's truck
him ever so persistent to return home
and her just happy to escape into literature
she slumped into the seat
the tower resting at her bare toes
she stuck out her hand
and told me her name
and laughed at the common of it
she would be a freshman after summer
same as me
her brother still urgent

and drive away
her hand waving at me
with a broad smile bubbling over
that danced for me
and all I could think was

Another fun fact: how someone dresses is NOT their personality
Yet another fun fact: People who claim to be random really are not and they know it.
