NO girls should flirt with me because they will find out that as soon as it gets to the sexy talk stage i cant turn off the jesters spirit and i will continue to make jokes. there is no sexy in me only the bit and brother i stay chompin

The Place Beyond The Pines (2012) dir. Derek Cianfrance

I wish that I was better, for the kids who emulate.

but they should really all know better,

than to take the fucking bait

that I’ve been dangling from this building

with my goosebumps in the cold.

I am nothing but a story for a man until I’m sold.

and he can tell it in the lobby, to the old men at the bar

they’ll all clink his cup

and make shit up.

to take it all too far,

they’ll tell a lie about the summer

where they “once had me alone”

and I’ll reside inside a sonnet.

I’m a picture in a phone.

I’ve aged beyond the angel they all saw inside me then.

a grotesque and fading memory

trapped underneath a pen.

'The Night of the Hunted' (1980).

unstoppable force (trying desperately to see the good in life) vs immovable object (wishing life would be kinder to me)

when men roll up their sleeves and show their slutty little forearms i wither away like a Victorian man seeing ankles for the first time

I love writing. Would love to do it again someday

i love the original frankenstein novel a normal amount

How can you read "I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other" as a closeted teenager and not be changed on an atomic level because of it
