&quot;She left pieces of herself everywhere she went. &#039;It&#039;s easier to feel the sunlight without them,&#039; she said.&quot;<br /> &quot;Even after everything, this world is beautiful.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe&quot;

Red Satin Lips
Hair as white as snow curling perfectly down my back
I lay still as a deer in headlights
And listen to their cries
I holler out in comfort,
But no one hears.
Why?
What’s going on?
Why is the preacher here?
But then I realize all too late,
I am dead.

&quot;I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There&#039;s no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it. &quot;
