I suffer,
I bleed from sadness etched soul deep.
This stinging pain
These ugly scars
Your callous words, they pierce my heart.
Not a word, not a sound
Silence!
Can't you hear the outcry inside me?
One broken spirit,
Two flooded eyes.
These memories never die.
I loathe you, killer of dreams,
Bringer of fear, anxiety.
That, my smile, is a portrait, gone.
A memory lost in time.
The mirror reflects me, ugly,
Deserving scorn.
A mockery of my youth,
Yesterday died and my happiness perished too.
I'm suffering inside.
Covert sorrows cut my wrists
This noise, these voices
I hear them loud
My sanity dangles by a fiber
Thrust me over the edge
I am gone.

Don’t Be a Pushover, But Don’t Be Naive Either
The world can be tough. Sometimes being honest can make people take advantage of you while being too tricky can hurt you. The key is finding a balance. Sometimes it’s okay to play dumb to avoid trouble, but don’t be a pushover. Let people know you have limits and will stand up for yourself.

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.
