What are your words if they are only said in vain?

Don't Leave Me - A Poem

You are the light to my darkness.

Constant and persistent, but only when you will it to be.

Because you are only the light to my darkness,

When it's easy for you.


When actual darkness and difficulties occur,

You don't look back at the girl you fell in love with.

Instead, you run away, from the beast she turns into.

Because you know you can't tame her.


Then why do I still yearn for you?

For your emotional reassurances, comforting hugs, your warm eyes?

Why do I still want you to be with me when you run away during our tough times?

Why am I the only one begging for you, when you can drop me in an instant?

Why do I care so much?


Don't leave me, my heart whispers along with its vessels that hold it steady.

Don't leave me, don't find someone new.

Don't leave me, I don't have the will to go this time.

Don't leave me, I've been broken too much to break my own heart again.

Don't leave me a third time.

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
