And all of a sudden I have this huge urge to cut.
To use the metal blade across my skin.
To see the blood flow.
To feel something.
I just want to cut one last time...

It's 5:44 in the morning
I have been awake for the past hour
Contemplating life and everything in it.
I close my eyes and can't shut my thoughts off.
It's bitterly cold and I'm shivering.
Insomnia takes away the peace I get when I sleep.
-KLR.
I love the smell as the pages turn,
As I devour every word.
I begin to feel like I know the characters personally.
I leave my life and begin a new one in my story.
I find a quiet place at the park under a tree as the sun shines brightly.
I feel saddened and dissapointed as I turn the last page to my book that I have gotten to know so well over the time I have read it.
I can't wait to pick up a new book and have all of those fellings and more all over again.

If life where easy
Sometimes I wish life was easy.
You wouldn't have to worry about
Money to make the world go around.
You wouldn't have to worry about all of the
Horrible wars and terrorism that is happening
In this world.
What has the world come to?
Why can't everyone get along
With everyone?
Some people don't have to
Worry about when their next
Pay check is coming.
To be able to afford food
Or rent.
Why doe's life have yo be this way?
Why can't everyone be equal?
Oh yeah that's right because life isn't
Supposed to be easy it's supposed to
Challenge and guide you.
Certain People are placed in your life
At a certain time, the right time to get
You through the hard times, to encourage
You that you can follow your dreams!
To be a shoulder to cry on when needed
And to push us onto the next stage of life.
Life was never supposed to be easy,
But you get out of life what you put into it.
-KLR.
Consuming
Sometimes life feels like such a struggle,
