Diamond Eyes (Written: 12/12/2014)


Girl, how are you not scared
The world is before you
And you live like your in a dream
 
My eyes are filled with stars
Shards of glitter
Stuck in my eyes
Sure the world can be a bad place
But even the darkness
Is just a disguise

I've always kept whatever I wrote to myself, stored away. The reason being is because back in high school I used to write every year for the literary garland. And finally I became a senior and wanted to join their new, "Creative Writing" class. You had to go through an interview, the funny thing is they told me, "I don't think this is for you." Irony. In the end they ended up picking all their favorite students and being a shit class with nothing productive. I've been out of high school for almost 6 years now and I don't remember much of what I've learned, because they never taught me anything useful. I like being able to express myself in more ways than one, writing is just one of them. Fashion is a daily one.
