If the rear-view mirror isn’t shaking, the music’s not loud enough.

“Older Than I Am” by Lennon Stella always makes me cry.

Truth is light
and liar
is s/he who
turns off the light

Lyrics to “The Only Exception” by Paramore, spilled from my own lips, echoing off my shower walls this morning.

Thank you to the person who nominated my poem, those who voted for it and for the win. Biggest thanks goes out to my muse, my inspiration, ma petite fleur, who makes each day something special, who loves me despite my flaws and who I’ll cherish forever.

Everlasting is a second
and
the seconds
are
everlasting

Sometimes criminals are not as criminal as those who punish them

“I Turn to You” by Christina Aguilera hitting hard tonight. Also seems my quotes has turned into a playlist. Enjoy.

I’ll never learn if I never leap
I’ll always yearn if I never speak
To be loved and love at the highest count
- Adele

I thought my tears had dried up for now. But leaving my home state and seeing that the poem for my Grandma was both nominated and won, they come so easily. I hope those who read and voted felt the pieces of her I placed in there. Thank you.
