Blood and Ink
Words she can't pronounce
Letters stuck inside her mouth
As she run away from her dear agonizing logic of worthless self-worth
And pretty words, lies of gradeur cramming brain cells with hope
For better days
And nights where tears turn into sleep without assistance of capsuels from a bottle she can't control
My dear, you are
Still trying to cope with not knowing who you are
Don't trust today to promise who you're supposed to be
All of our arteries pump blood and ink
To keep us alive to write our stories
Because all of us have the same mechanics, just different overtures
Don't make the mistake of thinking one's better than the rest
Darling,
He's pining away at romanticism of mind
He wants to understand how to act instead of hide
But what he doesn't see is that socializing isn't all that measures success
And there's no formula to platonic relations, but he can't find this out without blood and ink
Adventures we all have to teach us what we are
He can't copy down word for word from another person's novel
He can't see how original works don't need to be pristine to be beautiful
My dear,
Don't shed what makes your soul grow
What makes you something more than an imitation for the sake of making life easier
Pain is just a warning sign that you're learning
Just a reason to keep pushing through the burn that says your effort is working
