The Most Beautiful Suicide


this is Evelyn McHale, 
who took her life during the depression.
she jumped off the empire state building (!!!)
and landed on top of a limousine, 
completely destroying the vehicle
yet she remained looking peaceful.
here's the full, amazing story

Oh My Gosh, I Love Teachers

so you see...
i was having a pretty crappy summer.
an even crappier day...

and a middle school orchestra teacher was able to change that:
she remembered our talks about LUSH, and she bought me some!
she didn't have to do that!
...but she did.
wow.

there's so many teachers that trust me and think the world of me.
i have to remember that when i have days 
where i wonder about my existence.

i've had a junior english teacher 
that wrote my recommendation letter with so many compliments,
it literally made me cry.

shoot, i have a middle school social studies teacher
that still texts me and wants to catch up over lunch
with me and a friend.

i can't ever forget how much potential 
all of these past teachers see in me.

it's amazing.

rape

in my birthday suit from the night before
yet to realize someone wanting more.
i step into the kitchen, ready to eat
a man, some stranger is ready to meet.
the door slams open
he rushes in.
should i run? should i scream?
i don’t know where to begin.
before i know it, i’m pinned to the ground.
i feel too worthless, to hope to be found.
he’s gone, and i stay
he ate me away
i find no reason to lock the door
why should i? i’m a certified whore.
how could this happen?
i felt so safe.
but now i sit here,
soul and hymen agape.
let me rot, let me drown.
anyone who survives this
should have no desire to be around.


**side note: i have never been raped. this just came to me during one of my early morning rustlings.
