Damn this is fantastic diction. Especially the Athena bit. I love it.

You described that feeling perfectly. The restlessness of being in class. I feel the same way. I've skipped too many classes.

i love this. a lot. i feel like it was written about me... "i fear being vulnerable..." i love that stanza. as well as the one after it. and, well, the whole hting. "i do not understand why sometimes i want to sob and scream and rip holes in my skin, i do not know why it makes me love myself." i've been trying to find those words for years. thanks for writing this.

i LOVE the first stanza. completely. the third one as well, but the first is my favorite.

i'm hooked already.

you receive a medal for making it through high school. not even kidding.

i hope you find the confidence to write again because you have a style with such integrity and flow that i can't get enough of it. but i've been losing it too. it's a bad thing.

I enjoy the dark humour in the final stanza a lot. You are an exceptional writer.

it's hard to adjust to a new life of "well-being",

especially when all you've ever known was malfunction.

it takes time.

such a lovely web of words, you weave;

tangling around and around a most delicate

sensibility-if that makes any sense.

despite having difficulties writing, i'm glad

you were able to conjure this.

i'll admit, i've wanted to experience hallucinations before. only because i felt insane enough already, but still so wretchedly attached to reality-i figured if i was going to feel this crazy, i might as well have believed/seen crazy things, too. idk. i got over it though.

you should see a psychiatrist, if you haven't already. get yourself on some meds to help. tis all i can suggest, unfortunately.

still, i love this; love it to tragic, broken bits. your writing has always had that otherworldly feel to it, and now i know why. still i wish you the best.

As grotesque and self-loathing as this is, I find the image strangely happy, and maybe that's just because you used the word happy. Meh. I like it. Keep writing! :)

a lot of truth is said

in nonsensical, silly things.

in ways, i can relate to so much of this, understand where you're coming from.

intense. raw. conflicting. beautiful.

this is emotion, and romantic writing,

at its very best.

i hope you figure things out.

i like december 18th.

i'm so glad exams are over.

i have to read the grapes of wrath,

but knowing me, i'll be so out of it over break that

i'll forget to do anything but eat and sleep.

what two books do you have to read?

i just read all of these

and they're all incredible.

your mind constructs images beautifully.
