"She's beautiful." Bullshit. Do you think about the things you feel before you even feel them? She told me no, and now you're telling me to shoot higher. "That's not how it works." Bullshit. She loves him and I'm just a pothole in her road; try driving over me without the right set of tires, you'll see what happens. I tell myself to open up more, but I can't help but be a little boring sometimes. It's better to have not said what shouldn't be said, right? "That's not how it works." You don't understand and neither does she. Stop trying to tell me to move on and move along yourself. "She's beautiful." Bullshit. Circular logic doesn't work here; logic doesn't work here. When she asks me to tell her about myself, do I tell her about the other guy? No, he's not me. "No, he's not you." Bullshit. He is me and he's always been me. I'm not okay and I won't be okay. "How do you feel?" Bullshit. I know your questions before you ask them, so don't bother. That sudden realization that who I am isn't who I want to be hurts a hell of a lot more than they tell you. Teenagers always go through this, right? "You're just finding yourself." Bullshit. I don't want to find myself because I found myself a long time ago and I didn't like myself when I found him. When I found me. Him. How many people do you see when you look in a mirror? I see two, but I tell myself one. There's one guy and he's ordinary, he's calm and a little boring, but very plain. He isn't twitching and fidgiting when he's alone; he isn't crying about people who aren't there; he isn't crushing his ears with some hope that the noises will go away. "That's not how it works." That's not how I work.

Hey /lit/ I've got an assignment on spanish poetry, It's just for my spanish 3 class, albeit...I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations. I've got to memorize 12 lines, and would enjoy if it wasn't overly difficult, although it would be nice if the poem was well known. (Cause I've got to write on the poet aswell.)
