ill have you know im scared by *ohsostarryeyed:iconohsostarryeyed:



i lied, i lied, a thousand times i lied.

i don't know who this story is about. i don't know if it's an 'i,' 'you,' 'he,' or 'she' story. i'll probably pick three and rotate them.  because when you think about it, doesn't it happen to us all?


i was found dead on the road. i hear i was contorted and bloody, only the blood wasn't my own, and i died simply because i was afraid. i always thought that was so fucking ironic- i was fucking scared to death.

and every time she's walking down the street, the girl who might've been me, the girl whose blood i was found in though she's also dead, i cringe. because she hears people crowing about amusement parks and how the upside-down roller coaster scared them to death, and she thinks of me. she's dead, but she still thinks of me. somehow, i feel loved.


he said he was a policeman. really, he was a rapist. he, you, i. it doesn't matter, everyone is a rapist. everyone thinks they want sex, but nobody does. it's too personal. it's not forever like you might think it is. because eventually, you wind up dead. eventually, you or i, we're found by some policeman named officer leon scurrow.

you, growing up in america or britain or in a treetop, you assume he is african-american. see, leon's parents, your parents or my parents, his parents had a sense of humour. leon is an albino. so that goes to show just how much you (or i or she) knows. really, no one knows anything.


i don't like the alphabet. i don't like capital letters. i don't like you, or maybe i don't like him or her or me. capital letters, they're just like us, and i don't like anyone. capital letters are egocentric and believe they (or we) deserve attention. we (or they) scream out, please just notice me, i'm important, i swear i am. capital letters have high-paying jobs that slowly kill them, lawyers to lose their souls, or doctors to imagine they can help someone. and no one, not even a capital letter, can live if they truly think they are nothing.

i, or you, or he or she, we all are lying in the middle of dirt roads, dead and covered in some lover's blood.

she is walking down the street, saying oh God, oh God, oh God like she means it, and i am just absolutely
scared to death.

Don't make a sound, shh, and listen; keep your head down, we're not safe here.

I KNOW WHAT INSPIRED THIS, I THINK.
AND YOU DIDNT BUTCHER IT.
SO YOU WIN.

we will fold and freeze together far away from here.
:iconkaname-chan:
But your so right. Egocentric is the way those capital letters are.

Beware of the cookie ninjas!!
:iconfebruary-night:
I don't know how I feel about capital letters. I was always a bit of a perfectionist and I felt like things had to be properly written. Now, though, I don't know. I like small letters sometimes. They are nice.

Really great piece, so interesting. It pulled me in with all of the pronoun switching thingies. (That was a really bad choice of words but I can't think straight today Dx sorry.)

:+favlove: !!!

I have a vivid imagination, or maybe I'm just tired of reality.
:iconnightshade-valentine:
It might be bizarre,but that's what gives it an edge.That's what makes it unique.

BLARG!!!!
:iconcitysilence:
It's got a definite edge to it. I enjoyed it, anyway.

He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

S T U N N I N G! :heart:
(I don't really like capital letters either, but I thought I'd make an exception for this piece...cause capitals make it look like you're saying something really loudly! <33333)
:iconl-forever:
i absolutely adore this.

Each man kills the thing he loves. -Oscar Wilde

The hawk on fire hangs still. Dilly dilly, calls the loft hawk, come and be killed. Dilly dilly, come let us die.

it's those stupid things we say in the rain, the words that can't ever be washed away.
