It's a Book
Each page is a date
The front is birth
and the back is death
the binding, no matter how thick or thin,
It is a book
Hieghtened anxiety before the cover
and praying for answers after.
page after page
chapters to chapters,
wasted ink and time
to know what happens when
the book is finished
when only half way through.
Instead live each word's moment
Desire and long, not,
for things after the book
is closed.

Im 18 years old. I used to live in Ohio, but now I live in Australia :D Yes, I am a ginger, and yes we are awesome! I have two dogs, Chaos and Chloe. I am a pescetarian, a vegetarian who eats fish. I love writing and drawing. I also play golf, and basketball. I am training to run a half marathon :) I had problems with weight and self image for a long time. I used to weigh 160 pounds, but now I weigh 130 pounds! It took me almost two years and I am really happy about the way I look, though I am still trying to become more and more healthy. I been through a lot of shit with my life, and I’m still working on it. But each day I am getting better :D
