My days consist of studying for hours, going on walks to clear my head and consuming way too much coffee.

Maya C. Popa, from Wound is the Origin of Wonder: Poems: “All inner life runs at some delay”

I'm almost never angry but all the hurt I've bottled inside me make me look like I'm someone with rage.

(i suspect it's love)

i catch myself in daydreams

of your arms

where i lay, drunk and warm

and took my favorite grainy picture of you

the frame mostly occupied by

your eyes

containing something knowing of

my awareness growing

like suspicion all day

i couldn't rinse us out

of my mouth in the morning

i think we're on the same page

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.

Dreaming Again

I’ve started dreaming again

Isn’t getting enough sleep

Spposed to be a good thing?

I’ve started dreaming again

A man had his neck slit

After he used his body to protect me

I’ve started dreaming again

I’ve been left and abandoned

More times than I can count

I’ve started dreaming again

I hurt the people I love most

I’ve started dreaming again

I’ve died and watched death

Countless times over

I’ve started dreaming again

But I’d rather stop.

Yeah now we've entered the back pain stage

I'm old school. I just want one person.

"But I am homesick for arms that have never held me."

John Doe, from the movie "The Wedding Date"

I can feel that ache in my chest again.

I am far too obsessive for love.

"I love this harsh world because it has you in it."

Abhilasha, from "My illusion of you"

am I really that hard to love

physics is hands down the best subject because in what other subject could you pick up a book and read the sentence “the universe itself possesses that information” and it’s talking about using calculus to find the position and relative velocity of every atom in a grain of sand
