I'm hurt, I'm hurt, I'm oh so hurt.
I want to die, I want to die,
slit my wrists in suicide,
close my pain with another lie,
throw this pain and say goodbye,
i want to die i want to die,
never living, never alive,
always dead, never thrive,
i don't want to hurt anymore,
i don't want to feel pain,
i don't want to be angry,
and say things i regret,
i don't want to feel like this,
i don't want to hurt,
but it's too late for me, so just let me hurt.

So, due to my extreme lack of intelligence, I don't have my schedule. This is because I put that i was taking precalc over the summer. And i didn't. And didn't tell them. I assumed they knew, 'cause i didn't send in the paper. whatever. So, now, i don't have my schedule. 'Cause they're waiting for my test. Ugh. So, when i tell them that I'm not doing it anymore, when i call, this'll be a problem. I sincerely hope they don't give me a reject schedule. That'd fucking suck. I just want normal classes. Ugh. And my schedule might be late. ugh. fml. i'm such an idiot. a fucking moron. i really am. this is bullshit. i just want normal classes. i'm such an idiot.

So. You stopped texting me at about 1:30. which is cool. you probably fell asleep. I feel like i pushed the sex, issue too much. I don't know what bothered me so much about it. It makes me really insecure. I don't think I would have been able to stand it. I hope you're not losing any feelings for me. God, I wish for you to like me every day.
Please. If you're listening. Please. Let everything be okay.
Please. If you're listening. Please. Let everything be okay.

I know that if she doesn't text me back, it may not mean anything. but she's had her phone, and she could have. maybe she forgot. hmph. is she treating you like all the other guys? who knows. you'll have to find out. god damn it. what do i do now? do i text her tomorrow? holy fucking christ. what the fuck do i do?
IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
BUT THEN AGAIN, AT THE SAME TIME, IT MEANS EVERYTHING.
if you text me back, how you feel. how do i know how you feel? god, i just want it to be me. and just me.
IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
BUT THEN AGAIN, AT THE SAME TIME, IT MEANS EVERYTHING.
if you text me back, how you feel. how do i know how you feel? god, i just want it to be me. and just me.
You know, I might be okay with you forgetting my text, hell, even with you talking to them.
God damn it. Talking to all the right people. Wonderfuckingful. because you talked to me. that means i was the right person. no. i was one of those right people. i'm just another one of your friends. i hate this. GOD. FUCKING. DAMN. IT.
I don't even get it anymore. what thefuck is wrong with me? why am i like this? it's because 1. you don't answer my text, hell, i'm fine with that. 2. you have your phone, you didn't care enough to check that you didn't respond. 3. I was just one of those people that you talked to today. what we talked about, whatever. it didn't mean anything. or what i can gather. I just don't get it.
I feel like i'm losing you. I'm afraid of losing you. I'm afraid of losing what it was going to be. I afraid that when you don't text me back, i'm losing you, that when you group me in with all of those 'people' i'm nothing special. i don't want to be just another one of those people. god damn it.

Well, it's late at night, again. And I keep thinking about you. I miss you terribly. I want to hug you. And I guess you fell asleep, or forgot to text me back. Which is fine, I guess. Maybe I'll text you tomorrow. Or maybe you will. I hope you do. Anyway, God, I miss you. I want to talk to you so badly.

It's becoming too much. I should really stop until I get further signs, I guess. I don't know if I want to get married on facebook. HAHA. well. 'cause I don't want her to think that. like. I just want to be friends. That would bother me. I guess, I'll just be married, and then ask you about this guy you potentially like. Oh God, help me.
hmph. if she doesn't text back, it doesn't mean anything. it probably means, she wandered away from her phone. i guess. that's all i have to accept. what if i'm doing all of this, if she just thinks of it as friendship? i hope not. That would kill me. Something good will happen to me. interesting.
If she doesn't text back, it doesn't mean anything. it doesn't mean anything.
If she doesn't text back, it doesn't mean anything. it doesn't mean anything.
I'm worried, 'cause I want you to realize, that 'yes, I do like him.' and that potential actually does become something. And you do like me. I want it to work out. I want you to be certain that you like me, and that you're not just using me. I want you to want me. I really want this. more than anything I've ever wanted something before. I want you to realize that I'm the one you want. And that you like me.
I just really want you to realize that the potential like you might have for me, actually becomes a like. Because that would make me so happy. I don't want you to decide that you're just using me, or that you don't like me.

So, I think I'm slightly buzzed. I can think for myself, but everything is moving. Is this what alcohol does to me? It's quite the wonderful feeling. To be honest, I haven't thought about her in a while. I just don't care. anymore. My head is spinning. Hah. So. It's 5:08. And I'm slightly buzzed. Wonderful fucking feeling. I'm letting it process. Oh, lord. I love this feeling. It's awesome. I'm not in a stupor, I'm not acting stupidly. I'm just sitting at my desk, my head spinning. Oh, it's a wonderful feeling. I love it. I love it. All my pain is going. I'm alive. But I'm tired. I think I'll go to sleep. Anyway, I came here to say, that I'm not thinking about you, or the potential like you might have for me. For the first time. It really is amazing. But, I know I will in the morning. And I want you to know that I want you to like me. It would make my year.
So, hello afternoon or morning me, whichever, I was buzzed or drunk at 5:12 AM. hahah.

It's important, so God damn important, to remember, that she may not be talking about you. You might not be that guy. Just know that. That she may not feel the same. It could easily be someone else.
"its so easy for me to talk to him. and i trust him. he makes me laugh a lot. he's smart. stuff like that. for whatever reason he's the first guy thats actually even grabbed some of my interest in a long time."
oh god. because that could be about me. but it could also be someone else. Keep it in mind, child. Keep it in mind. Don't let this get to you. Don't. It could easily be someone else. There's not much that I know it could be. But it sounds like me. Don't let it get to you. Just keep an open mind. She could very well potentially like you. But she could not. Don't get your hopes up, boy. Just don't. It's easier this way. Just keep your feelings, and keep doing what you're doing. She said that she's always the one starting the conversations. Should i do anything? Should I talk to her more? Well established friendship. This could be about me. It could. Just be careful. Keep in mind that she may not be talking about you, and someone else. For God's sake, please, keep that in mind.
And you, if it is me, please. please. please. don't let me down.

I guess what's bothering me is that you stopped following me. You don't answer any of my texts. And you're treating me and him the same. I guess. I don't know. How could you do this to me? I guess you're sick of me after all. I think I need to tell you soon. I don't know what the fuck has been going on with me lately. it's been so long since i've been happy.
Friday, July 23, 2010
Hey, i have something to tell you.
For the last few months, i've liked you a lot. Look, i know you may or may not like me, most likely not, but whatever. the point is, that i like you. and unless there's something to be done about it, unless you want something done, then. idk. but i felt like, you should know. and i'm sorry for whatever might happen, whatever i may do. but just know that i think you're amazing. and a wonderful person. I don't even know what the point of telling you is, anymore. I guess it's just that point where I want you to know.

I don't even know what the point of telling you is, anymore. I guess it's just that point where I want you to know.
So, here it is. Everything in my mind.
Hey, I like you. Is that post about me? 'I want you to be happy' 'I love you guys so much' 'You deserve to be happy.' But it can't be about me. Because it just can't be. Because it's about the other guy. Vanilla bear. You think I'm depressed. He doesn't get it. I need to clarify it with him. I was going to ask you. But, it's not worth it. I want to be more. I don't want to be another one of your friends. I want to be one of those people that you love, that you cherish. That you really care for me. 'You deserve to be happy.' 'My mom walked out on us. I was crying, and no one was saying anything. How could they let her go like that?' Pathetic. Pathetic. She was being sincere. Maybe I do feel loved. 'You deserve to be happy.' 'You deserve to be happy.' I like you. Wanna be my girlfriend? But no, how could you? Do I annoy you? Why don't you talk to me about your problems? Strangest urge to tell you that I love you. I liked talking to you. I can't lose all of those messages. One of my friends thinks I'm depressed. I never told him the worst part. I can only imagine. I just want to be special. That you talk to me a lot. "I want to be the only one left when your day is done." Do I deserve to talk to you? Would I deserve to be with you? I want to tell you. But I don't. What would you say? I don't know. I like you a lot. Should I tell you? Is it about me? I don't know. My heart is breaking. My heart is breaking. I want to tell you that I like you. But I don't know if I can.

God, I feel so crazy. I have the craziest urge to tell you how much you mean to me. How much I like you. I don't want to. Because I feel like I finally might be annoying you. I think I've become one of them. Oh, God. I feel dependent on you. Why am I so dependent? I don't even know. Anyway, if you're reading this, you already know. Let me just tell you how much you mean to me. That it would kill me to lose you. And I feel so strongly about you. But I know you would never feel the same. I just can't let go of you. I don't want to try. I'm so confused. I don't know anything anymore. I can't express it. I feel like how you left, and how you ended our conversation was really really bad. So, let me just say this. I like you. And that's all there is to it. I like you so much. So. much. But I guess that'll all be behind. I'm sorry if I annoyed you. I'm going to try to let you go. Because I don't want you to hate me.

Is it that I'm worried you won't dream about me anymore?
Is it that I'm worried you won't ask me if I'm okay anymore?
That you won't worry about me anymore.
That you'll think I'm okay, because of what I said, that I won't.
I don't know. But it's bothering me.
I think it's that you'll think I'm okay. But the thing is, that I hardly ever am okay.
The fact that you had a dream about that, really makes me wonder. It really does. It shows that you cared, though. And I'm happy that someone did care, after all of this. Someone does give a damn whether I live or die.

one dark night, he's all alone,
just him and the knife,
he's cold in his own zone,
he's staring into space,
wrote his suicide note already,
he's having a hard time keeping a straight face,
the tears keep rolling from his heart, deep and heavy,
he's crying for the lost times,
he's tired of feeling unwanted, all these times,
maybe if someone asked if he was okay,
he would be here today,
and be here to say,
that he made it through the day,
that he found something worth living for,
and it was something he had to live for in any way,
but he cant' see it, not anymore,
no purpose, no reason, to be here anymore,
he's lost the will to live, for sure,
he's gone, left into his own world,
there's no one left to live for,
he's done, he's tired, he doesn't want to live for this war,
he thinks that he means nothing in your eyes,
that you don't care about him, he's just another guy,
but he loves you, he can't have you, so he has to make a disguise,
telling you about this girl, that's breaking his heart,
that makes him want to die, and go back to the start,
forget he ever loved her and forget her name,
that when he would remember her, he wouldn't feel any pain.
that when he looks at her, he knows there's nothing to gain,
because she doesn't feel the same way, not the same way at all,
there's nothing to do, nothing to say, nothing but fall,
because he loved this girl, he really did,
but now he has nothing to say as the knife sticks in his skin,
he wants to call her and tell her how much she meant to him,
but he would be a bother, just another guy on the phone,
so he's tearing up, he's losing it, 'cause he's all alone,
he's tired of seeing the things that he's seeing,
seeing him touch her, and hate within his very being,
he's tired, he's sick, he doesn't see the purpose,
so he's gone, he's left, he's feeling worthless,
he can't believe that to her, he wasn't worth it,
he's just another guy, why wouldn't he be hurt by this?
just him and the knife,
he's cold in his own zone,

Dear you,
I don’t know how you do it. But you make me happy. You make me so happy to be alive. Not to mention that you’ve kept me alive, so many times. And for that, I thank you. Dear girl, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to tell you, how much I like you. And how much I’m struggling to not use the word ‘love’. Because that’s what it feels like. I feel like I love you. That’s the only word. What else describes someone who won’t get out of your head? That when you talk to me, my heart soars, I’m happy. You make me happy and no one else can. You know how to get through to me. You know me. But I don’t think I could ever tell you of the feelings I have for you. How I feel for you, and how much I like you. Because of the circumstances of two of your friends liking me. And how I don’t think you would ever do anything because of that. I could never tell you how sad that makes me. And I know that these visions I keep having of us being together won’t actually happen. But I do like you a lot. But you don’t like me. I don’t give you butterflies. I don’t. It’s 6:55 A.M., and I’ve talked to you pretty much the whole night. Let me just say that I love talking to you. I love it so much. And we’ve talked pretty much til 6 AM every single night for the past week. And we’ve talked almost every day. Til early in the morning. Girl, I don’t know how to say this to you. And I’m not sure if I ever could. Because of whatever. I mean, what’s the point of telling you? Just so that you would know? It would save a lot of awkward silences. A lot of times where we wouldn’t talk to each other. And I don’t want that. I really don’t. I want to talk to you. I love talking to you. I just wish I could tell you. No, I wish I could tell you, and you’d feel the same way. And you would tell me that you feel the same for me. But you don’t. I heard you say it. That you don’t like me. And I don’t know why that kills me inside. Because I like you. I like you a lot. I just feel like I was so close. So close to being with you. But I don’t know. I don’t know why it didn’t work out. We would have been wonderful together. We would have. I’m writing this letter, because it’s so early in the morning. And you left me about an hour and a half ago, to talk to someone outside. And I haven’t gotten any sleep. Because you’ve been on my mind the entire time. Let me just say, that if I had any wish right now, it would be for you to love me. Airplanes by B.O.B? That’s why it reminds me of you. I could really use a wish right now. I would wish for you. I don’t want my liking for you to end. But I don’t know if I can keep this up. ‘Cause I’m hurting a lot. I really am. But let me end this letter by saying, that I think you’re absolutely beautiful, inside, and out. And that you are the most caring person I know. You are the absolute most beautiful person, ever. You’re an amazing friend. And I would be blessed to be with you. I am blessed to be friends with you. Because you care so much. And you’ve kept me alive so many times, that I don’t know where I’d be without you. I don’t know. You’ve saved me, you’re my angel, sent from somewhere. And you saved me so many times, and I’m not sure if you’ll ever know.
I guess that there's always something wrong with me. That's why people hardly ever ask me if everything is okay, anymore. They stopped caring. Because when I make it clear that I'm not okay, people don't ask if I'm okay.
"I just want to die, but I don't deserve death.
I just want to cry, but I don't deserve to die yet.
I tell you I'm fine, but I lie if I can get away with it."
I guess people are sick and tired of hearing me complain about stupid things.

Sometimes I wish someone would read this, so that they can know what I'm going through. So they can know. So, they can know that I'm not ever okay. So they can ask if I'm okay. So I can know they care. But of course. They don't. And everyone thinks I'm fine. Because I don't show it on my tumblr. They think that I have my occasional lapse, my occasional depression. They don't know that I feel this way every single night. It's become a usual thing, this depression. Because I'm not fine. I'm not. At all. I just wish someone would ask if I'm okay. Because I'm not. I hardly ever am.

The Book Thief
Picture yourself walking down Himmel Street in the dark. Your hair is getting wet and the air pressure is on the verge of drastic change. The first bomb hits Tommy Muller's apartment block. His face twitches innocently in his sleep and I kneel at his bed. Next, his sister. Kristina's feet are sticking out from under the blanket. They match the hopscotch footprints on the street. Her little toes. Their mother sleeps a few feet away. Four cigarettes sit disfigured in her ashtray, and the roofless ceiling is hotplate red. Himmel Street is burning.
-
Oh Crucified Christ, Rudy...
He lay in bed with one of his sisters. She must have kicked him or muscled her way into the majority of the bed space because he was on the very edge with his arm around her. The boy slept. The candlelit hair ignited the bed, and I picked both him and Bettina up with their souls still in the blanket. If nothing else, they died fast and they were warm. The boy from the plane, I thought. The one with the teddy bear. Where was Rudy's comfort? Where was someone to alleviate this robbery of his life? Who was there to soothe him as life's rug was snatched from under his sleeping feet?
No one.
There was only me. And I'm not too great at that sort of comforting thing, especially when my hands are cold and the bed is warm. I carried him softly through the broken street with one salty eye, and a heavy deathly heart. With him, I tried a little harder. I watched the contents of his soul for a moment and saw a black-painted boy calling the name Jesse Owens as he ran through imaginary tape. I saw him hip-deep in some icy water, chasing a book, and I saw a boy lying in bed, imagining how a kiss would taste from his glorious next-door neighbor. He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It's his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.

Rudy?
She did more than mouth the word now. "Rudy?"
He lay with yellow hair and closed eyes, and the book thief ran toward him and fell down. She dropped the black book. "Rudy," she sobbed, "wake up...." She grabbed him by his shirt and gave him the slightest disbelieving shake. "Wake up, Rudy," and now, as the sky went on heating and showering ash, Liesel was holding Rudy Steiner's shirt by the front. "Rudy, please." The tears grappled with her face. "Rudy, please, wake up, Goddamn it, wake up, I love you. Come on, Rudy, come on, Jesse Owens, don't you know I love you, wake up, wake up, wake up...."
But nothing cared.
The rubble just climbed higher. Concrete hills with caps of red. A beautiful, tear-stomped girl, shaking the dead.
"Come on, Jesse Owens-"
But the boy did not wake.
In disbelief, Liesel buried her head into Rudy's chest. She held his limp body, trying to keep him from lolling back, until she needed to return him to the butchered ground. She did it gently.
Slow. Slow.
"God, Rudy..."
She leaned down and looked at his lifeless face and Liesel kissed her best friend, Rudy Steiner on the lips. He tasted dusty and sweet. He tasted like regret in the shadows of trees and in the glow of the anarchist's suit collection. She kissed him long and soft, and when she pulled herself away, she touched his mouth with her fingers. Her hands were trembling, her lips were fleshy, and she leaned in once more, this time losing control and misjudging it. Their teeth collided on the demolished world of Himmel Street.

I realized. Why do I do that to myself? To get attention? Is that it? Because if it is. Then I will definitely stop. I don't want to do that to myself, if the sole purpose of it is to receive attention. I always swore to myself that I would never do that. A lot of the stuff I do, is because I want the attention. God. Damn. That is so pathetic. I hate pathetic people. A lot of the stuff I do, is pathetic. A lot of it. It's so stupid. I am going to need to stop wanting all of this attention. Stop drawing it to myself. I really need to stop it. It's immature. I need to grow up. And if I do that to myself for the attention. I am going to stop.
