the end after the end

you have come despite a life that often doesn’t to try to find meaning or a break or a laugh you deserve and i want to give it to you with the beauty of now which is then which is which and the always confusing magic of attempting to know a really that’s already gone … Continue reading

do it before it does

if you are going to fail anyways why not try wildly if sadness seeks why not humble happiness if you’re going to die why not live before * chance is a promiscuous girl already married to a man who you’d meet one day unknowingly in the beauty of summer in an event you find out … Continue reading

flesh, fickle helmet
