sister

she’s the one who lies, she’s the one who can’t commit, she’s bad. her mind is of dark things, she is hollow.  there’s no point anymore, she’s is done.  done with trying to please, done with conforming to hypocrisy and false joy.  she is a black sheep in search of her own kind.

and so it goes

i had coffee with a girl yesterday who i haven’t hung out with in a long time.  i think it’s safe to say, she’s hit the bottom of the barrel in pretty much every capacity of her life.  the bottom of the barrel for me would be something to aspire to for her at this [...]
