now i'm smiling too

words fly, like bullets, through and through
nothing hurts more than thoughts of you
the sound of angels, she whispers run and hide
she's not whispering to me. she's gone. i know she'll be fine.



She wore a green dress. she knows it drives me crazy to see her in that green dress. there's nothing more intoxicating than seeing her red hair resting on the shoulders of that green dress.

...

his face looked like a piece of plastic stretched over his skull. his features were a little too tight. his face had the oddest sort of shine that made it unnatural. and his smile--it seemed to stretch wider than any smile should. it didn't make him look happy. somehow whenever he smiled he looked hungry, like he was trying to lure you closer to grab hold of your soul and just tear it right out of you

...

her voice sounds so sweet. it really does. there's just something about the way she speaks that makes me remember what it was like to be young. there's an energy in her eyes that make me want to just be outside letting the sun beat down on me and just be free. it's not really that she reminds me of someone i knew when i was a kid, she reminds me of everyone i knew as a kid she sings and smiles and laughs and lives like nothing else matters outside of that one single moment. i saw someone say a mean thing to her once and you could see the pain of those words flash across her face. if you saw a picture of her in that instant, you would have thought she was witnessing a horrible attrocity of some sort. and then a moment later, it was gone. a small smile was back on her face and she said something, i don't know what, that made the other person start to laugh. just like that, everything was right again. i've never seen anyone have that kind of power over everyone she meets. with her, the old adage is true... smile and the whole world smiles with you. let me prove it to you. i'll close my eyes and picture her smiling. see? now i'm smiling too.

Breathe. Just breathe. One breath after the other.
One foot in front of the other.
Moving.
Steadily.
Forward.
Everything around you is constantly changing
Your friends
Your family
Your life
The ground beneath your very feet.
Changing.
That change is the only thing that is constant.
