Disillusionment, self-inflicted lethargy -
A lengthy break from thinking of
Anything at all in the face of existence.
I think I’m complacent, but isn’t
That exactly the sort of state
I’m so desperate to take issue with?

The greatest people, the poets,
The teachers, the thinkers,
The real, genuine workers,
Place great value on the value
Of living and the natural...
Sticky-Note
I came into my university library to pass some time because it’s 10:30 and I don’t have class until 1, and as I sat down at a computer, I saw that someone had posted a sticky note on the monitor saying, “I think I’m in love”. It put such a smile on my face that I just can’t bring myself to remove it. It’s things like this that re-affirm my faith in people....
Watch
“A queen loses her crown when she loses her virginity. And a queen becomes the bitch when she likes it.”
Comatose-cold, my veins start to thicken;
I can start to feel my body as it slows -
There are the tips (the toes, the tongue)
That start to slip first, but soon
The fingers follow suit, and
Before you know it, you can barely stand
Or speak or even bare to have your eyes
Open-wide to take in the time
That seems to flow around you.

People seem to merge together -
One big blur of...

This Existence is a Trend

Do you see us spin,
Or are we standing perfectly still?
This little box we like to call home
Is gradually being exposed for more
That what it claims we all adore:
Love and sex and money-whores.
-
The scene is just a quiet place
Without the silence all around,
Surrounded by a growing crowd -
Cheap, repulsive and greedy.
Bear in mind, this greed will swell,
Unaltered by the prison...

Fallen
fuckmewithwordss:
And some day you shall fall from your throne, into an ocean blood, souls that you’ve murdered with spite, do you taste the foul stench of your words as they dance around on your tongue, how pathetic you’ve, not worthy of the ground you walk on, the darkness haunts the your pity little world, pity, pity, pity
Wordsworth
I couldn’t sleep tonight, so I decided to finish my essay on Nature in Literature. I was planning on doing it tomorrow morning, but as it was four in the morning and I still hadn’t fallen asleep, I stopped entertaining hopes that I wake up before noon. Naturally, if I’m writing about the idea and concept of nature in literature, then the only poet who it would make sense to base...
The FACTS about the cost of birth control →
think-progress:
Oral contraceptives, or “the pill,” can cost $1,210 per year without health insurance.
Women of reproductive age spend 68 percent more on out-of-pocket health care costs than do men, in part because of contraceptive costs.
Surveys show that nearly one in four women with household incomes of less than $75,000 have put off a doctor’s visit for birth control to save money in the...
