"Emotions are as uniqe as the person who feels them. No one can ever feel the same about anything past a certain point. And it just so happens to be that not many people ever even catch sight of that crossroad in their life time." -Me.

My hands.
Stained with resin and blood.
My shirt.
Ripped and in ruins.
My pants.
Scraped and tattered.
My toes.
Blistered and sore.
My ears.
Heard things that cannot be taken back.
My feet.
Walks a billion miles.
Just to see, on your face, a true smile.
My face.
Frozen in the stiff weather.
Please kiss it to make it better?
My chest.
Taken a thousand blows.
Yet, I make my sprit glow.
I’ve learned to keep my hopes high.
And myself low.
To keep my pain hidden.
Only let this fake smile show.

Well, I realized that I have given everything for my last boyfriend. And that all he seems to do is use me for money and such... I finally feel the effects of him on me and this is kind of what my soul feels like when I get thinking about it.
