I'll never be the pretty girl.
Oh he'd date you he said,
But I guess he's talking to a prettier girl.
A prettier girl.
Do you have deep conversations about life and religion like you do with me,
With the prettier girl?
Do my ice blue and green eyes not put your head in a whirl,
Like the prettier girl?
Do your light brown eyes make the whole world stop,
For the prettier girl?
"She's so pretty,
I'll text her even if she won't reply,"
You spew from the lips beneath your brown eyes.
Speak in tongues,
Make my spine tingle.
I guess only cigarettes,
Give you excuses to mingle.

“You do not write your life with words...You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.” <br /> ― Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls <br /> <br /> “Here's what I think," I say and my voice is stronger and thoughts are coming, thoughts that trickle into my noise like whispers of truth. "I think maybe everybody falls," I say. "I think maybe we all do. And I don't think that's the asking." <br /> I pull on her arms gently to make sure she's listening.<br /> "I think the asking is whether we get back up again.” <br /> ― Patrick Ness, The Knife of Never Letting Go
