we feel protected by those that threaten
innocent and unnoticed identity
invited to attend the power of an artist at work
ongoing project
gritty aspects of borders that no longer exist
not normally noticed
the edges of places that have meaning
unwavering continuity
free and open
places where it is hard to tell decay
live
is about imaginary

16 it may take an identity crisis to finally be yourself
we tend to judge people
always forming impressions
we fit in or we rebel
the attention was gratifying
felt really good
leaving an imprint
consume your identity
appearance
forget what's at the core
people are too distracted
i surrendered
breaking point
nameless
had to die
face in the crowd
my look is genuine self-expression
you are under the surface

14 responsibility to think for yourself.
we're cutting
cutting, gutting our innovation and education
like lightening an overloaded airplane
watch the impact
cut more
like to have seen responsible wake
even though no students did view
all the noise of our public
focused on recovery
we are a part of something
more than political control

13 in rememberance
born searching
everything is painful
not alone
never asked questions before
how many return
all were battling
identify courage
Jesus had taken torture
unbearable. unspeakable
comfortable with doubts and questions
daily life of social justice, sick and dying poor
i never left it.

a note on blogs 12 and 12.5
both of these poems were taken from an article in rolling stone magazine. the article featured to write love on her arms. it is a non-profit movement that works to provide a path to help and recovery for people who struggle with depression, addiction, eating disorders, self-injury and suicide.
it began as an attempt to help a friend who was in trouble and needed people who would simply love her. t-shirts were made with "to write love on her arms" and sold to raise money to help her pay for rehab. they soon found out that these issues resonated with thousands of people and it grew into a movement.
if you want to find out a little more (as i'm sure i've hardly managed to explain this well enough) go to their website. this is the story that began it all. and this is their statement. though i recommend check it all out.

12.5 never give up
he listens
empathy
feel the love
honesty
feel truly valued
whispers
kill yourself?
he saved her life
community of hope
her story being alive
you are not alone
a self-taught savior prayed a lot
easy to be around
to talk to
friend killed himself
deal with the news
hadn't seen it coming
coincidences add up
callings
quietly wrestling
stuff happened
revealed himself flawed, struggling
isn't afraid to be seen
written all over him
live like that
to be bold
vulnerabilities freshly unchained
fueled by the power of faith
ceaseless empathy is exhausting
there are failures
she was alone
wanted to die
needed help
security
straightened out again
again
real recovery
relapses, pitfalls
changing
to pursue
to write
help
to create
live
to go
love with patience and plan
i was really hurting
i was living lonely
confesses
realized his own pain
is greater than he thought
love
smile
a small failure
life must be awesome
i want life

12 to write love on her arms
the story really inspired
the world can be a better place
grace and an old friend
rehab
hoping
struggling
with depression and addictions
and self-injury and suicidal urges
we exist
we exist
create hope?
honest conversation
hope
desperate need
connection
love helped me so much
speaking, reaching out
trying to heal the pain by getting as close to it as possible
key to reaching is authenticity
cult of hope
talking of love and forgiveness
shared universe of sorrow
love hears some shit
abuse, neglect, raped, drug addicted
children hanging in closets
wish they were dead
self-injury and depression, always suffered
cutting herself
confronting this pain alone
jaded mental health veterans
weakening suicide prevention
conversation
more
help
thanks
hug burst into sobs
it made me cry
eye contact
hope is real
can i have one more hug?

11 return to new life
make me sound crazy
surprising considering life right now
felt like a lot have gone through a similar thing
i bought a few years
life connected
worked
everything fell into place
creating
a song happens
doesn't mean her world
is incredibly fucked up
go back
as if nothing ever happened
loves from different personality

10 free to need to be important
i do everything for her life
kind conscientious duty
appreciate me for it!
stopped evidence was right up there
i was disappointed
role model
nope
lonely
i was disappointed
i'd made the right choice
pissed off
the other half of me screamed
found myself defending
the issue kept nagging
the source
who's there
i had to wonder
feel bad
what's important
conflicted value
terribly lonely
pretended to choose getting over it
independent

8 someone told me art is communication of the soul
i'm not a fan for exploit tragedy
that's moronic
genuine music carries true honest heartbreak
personal
should give a bit of warning
the attitude, Murder
will maybe still like the life
of a good song
original
beautiful
you haven't listened to music
be surprised

7 outside yourself
not everyone likes everything
severely limit experiences of culture
criticize
untrustworthy
pretentious argument
highlight sins
better to burn
friendships have a result
different
surprise
peace
successes
failures
people convinced today about the best
once they have exhausted all
can i judge them?
i don't know
worst response possible
good money
lying, generalized answer
don't want to talk to you
didn't think so
i can't get enough
opinions of people outside your "likes"
unfair.
