How Can I?


You call me at twelve o'clock

And I’m always here to listen

I’m always there to give you comfort

But now, I’m about to go missin

Will you still know I care for you

When I can’t call you back?

Will you cry even more when I don’t?

Will you think that I lack?

How can I sleep knowing you need me?

How can I dream knowing you’re crying?

How can I give you a metaphorical hug

When I’m not allowed to be trying?

Heather The Tired Writer

Heyyy there~ I'm Heather. I'm tired. I'm still a minor (so to ~those~ accounts, leave me out of it please). And life is confusing. I am an amateur writer who mainly focuses on writing original stories, but I occasionally do some fanfiction and poetry. Aside from that, I am also a crappy artist, piano player, music student, and programmer. I also am a really big anime, musical, and animation in general nerd. The complete list of fandoms is waaay too long, so drop me a dm and ask if I enjoy the same thing you do (chances are, I do.) If you'd like to see more of me, you can follow me on...

Thanks for reading my profile! Have a wonderful day! With Love, ~Heather
