Now Playing Tracks

poeticallyundead:

One of my biggest fears has manifested
and I’m not handling it
anywhere near as gracefully
as I’d hoped I could
feigned confidence to hide my quivering hands
instead I was swallowed by the darkness and fear
unable to see the light

I was a terrified little girl
held firmly under his thumb
as he chipped away
at who I was

somehow, I’d managed to escape
and I was so thankful
when he turned his back on me

but now he’s back
and I feel like that terrified little girl
all over again

  • Teacher:

    Why did you not study?

  • Me:

    A year has 365 days for you to study. After taking away 52 Sundays, there are only 313 days left. There are 50 days in the summer that is way too hot to work so there are only 263 days left. We sleep 8 hours a day, in a year, that counts up to 122 days so now we're left with 141 days. If we fooled around for only 1 hour a day, 15 days are gone, so we are left with 126 days. We spend 2 hours eating each day, 30 days are used in this way in the year, and we are left with 96 days in our year. We spend 1 hour a day speaking to friends and family, that takes away 15 days more and we are left with 81 days. Exams and tests take up at least 35 days in your year, hence you are only left with 46 days. Taking off approximately 40 days of holidays, you are only left with 6 days. Say you are sick for a minimum of 3 days, you're left with 3 days in the year to study! Let's say you only go out for 2 days... You're left with 1 day. But that 1 day is your birthday.

Of course this is only my opinion and while she doesn’t write a lot, Janissa may well be one of the better writers that no one on Tumblr has ever heard of.  I thoroughly enjoyed my visit today.  If you’re looking for someone new to read, check her out.  I’ve listed a couple of links below.

This really touched me. I have a strong admiration for Mike’s work, and to stumble upon this… I’m honored =)
