glory! : GET ME OUR OF HERE

washer

Goodnight my love Remember me as you fall to sleep Fill your pockets with the dust and the memories That rises from the shoes on my feet I won't be back here Though we may meet again I know it's dark outside Don't be afraid Everytime I ever cried from fear Was just a mistake that I made Wash yourself in your tears And build your church On the strength of your faith Please Listen to me Don't let go Don't let this desperate moonlight leave me With your empty pillow Promise me the sun will rise again I too am tired now Embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamless sleep My head is empty My toes are warm I am safe from harm...

GET ME OUR OF HERE

in LA. hate it here. looking at the young cashiers, knowing some of them have dreams that will never be. by the time they figure it out, theyll be too old to pursue something else, really. it feels like looking livestock in the eyes.

me and my family keep having issues. its still tense. im crying everyday. i asked my boyfriend to leave flowers at quorthons grave the other day and he did. im very thankful. at least theres that. im exhausted. ive been in the hotel room all day. i cry so much, constantly.

schools almost starting. i want permission from my parents to get a tattoo. i know i already have a couple but they dont know that. i want permission for something on my arm, back, legs. i got a set of tiny spoons an ice cream shop. i am not doing much. i want to go look for stuff but i cant! i cant look for stuff.

i saw a beautiful fur coat. a pair of miu miu pumps, red, for 180 usd. a pair of heavily used laboutins. a pair of old yves saint laurent stilettos.

i miss my friends. im tired of my parents. im constantly ignored here. im upset. i want to walk until i fall off the edge of the world. i want to walk away and not pause, just keep walking forever. far from here.

sylvia plath, the bell jar

I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.

Psalm 18: 6-11

In my distress I called upon the Lord, And cried out to my God; He heard my voice from His temple, And my cry came before Him, even to His ears. Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry. Smoke went up from His nostrils, And devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also, and came down With darkness under His feet. And He rode upon a cherub, and flew; He flew upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness His secret place; His canopy around Him was dark waters And thick clouds of the skies.
