Dying since the day I showed up



As morbid as it might sound, I think about my death. About who would show up to my funeral and what people would say about me. If anybody would miss me, and if my existence made any difference in this world.
Have I lived my life the way I want to be remembered? Have I loved the way I always imagined I would?
I imagine death being like a big dream, a dream that you don't understand. A floating abyss of time in the palm of a hand.
I hope it's a like song, your favorite song that reaches deep into your stomache, and caresses your blood so you feel it everywhere. A song that makes you absolutley perfect in that moment. That moment that will last forever, or at least until the next journey. :)

I imagine someone saying " Amanda was child of love, in fact thats what her name means. Deserving of love, surrounded by love. Amanda loved with her mind, her eyes, and her whole heart. When you feel the crisp air on your cheeks, read a line of comfort, or hear a song that makes you know it's going to be okay, you'll feel her there with you and realize she's left a piece of herself in all of us"

Brainiac




I can't escape it tonight, two glasses of wine in and I can't get out of my brain. I never figured out the off button to the damn thing. My heart has been getting crazy again, pounding on my chest like it's looking for an escape. It steals my breath and makes me feel weak, out of control...I was never in control. I sit, breath slowly and let the air kiss my lungs hoping to subside the anxiety. In return, my cheeks are rosey with tingles and it feels good when I smile. I wish I had someone to cuddle with tonight, someone who would kiss my forehead and make me feel safe. Someone who with the stroke of his hand on my rosey cheek would calm me and put me to sleep.
