The-1975 Stories

a collection of poems based off of romance/calming/sad songs and my personal feelings about things.

Melanie is a free spirit. Her thoughts are made up of a night's cooling breeze, the rush she feels as she speeds down the highway, her hair being plastered to her body as she pushes through the salty ocean water, the way heat radiates off the pavement in the summer, and the way the stars sparkle and glow. Matty. The most interesting boy she's ever discovered. He is a burning, flashing and mind twisting ball of gas floating into Melanie's universe full of colour and life. She has vowed to spend her summer as if it were her last moments in this galaxy and she tries to unhinge and decode every last mystery in her life, to find out who or what she truly is. But herself is not the only thing she discovers along the way. A hitch hiker named Matty tags along for the adventure.

There was a time when my life was exactly how I wanted it to be. I was young, wealthy, happy, healthy, and most of all I was surrounded by people who were eagerly willing to support me. Sadly, it wasn't long until I lost sight of what I saw as reality and what reality actually was. And by the time somebody could realize, I was too deep into the facade to be brought back.
