You say you are distanced You think your silence will take you far away from me You do things that may break me But even your distances are next to me Your silences are the loudest And the things you do, I support them the most So when you are finished fighting an uncaring world […]


Ever since I was a kid, I had this idea I would have a large friend circle and hang out and do lots of fun things together. To my 14 year old self, having lots of friends was the epitome of coolness and how other people perceived me. As time went along, my friend circle […]
