Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror on the wall Why do you show me only flaws The picture painted on your screen Is the lie my mind perceives You cause obsession in my brain Of a beauty I cannot obtain I listen to the roar of praise But nothing you say can cease this craze My mind creates a body...

Silence before the storm.

Here it comes. I do not know when or how, but I can feel it drawing near.  The conversations have stopped. The visiting has stopped. The constant " I love you's" and " I miss you's" have stopped. Now I wait. Sometimes it only takes a week. Sometimes a month. I wish it would take...

You have 0 new notifications.

A blank screen. That is what most people will see. Just a black screen without a second thought. What do I see? I see that the guy I like hasn't responded to my messages. I see my best friend ignoring my dinner invite. I see that my instagram post has received no new likes. I...
