Rotten is thy apple, the life I held dear,
But looking back is harder than saying goodbye.
It seems I have wasted many a long year
The past is inalterable, none can deny.

I wonder what the world has accomplished beyond my walls
I would join the masses if I were not so abiding
I would surely laugh if the sensation ever calls
Paradise isn't lost, it's just hiding

Peace has not followed my decisions and choices before.
But this matters not; I wash my hands of my past
My appearance is mirrored in the shock of your stare forevermore
I hear the wind whispering my name at long last

Vultures are waiting for what’s left of me
The lobotomist arrives to set me free

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Don&rsquo;t you know? Hearts are breakable. And I think even when you heal, you&rsquo;re never what you were before. -City of Fallen Angels<br /> Either love me with vomit in my hair or don&#039;t love me at all. -Ryan O&#039;Connell, Thought Catalog

I used to have a bunch of pet hermit crabs. But they all died. RIP.

I'm beginning the 9th grade tomorrow. That's what this poem makes me think of. School.
