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.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

The flaws that pain my soul

― Amelia Lynn

“Ghetto of Lost Dreams


One certain street, consumed by dust
Certain hearts, sorrowful, empty.
This is where the lost dreams abide
This is where they are abundant.
Dreams many decades forgotten.
A disappointed love there lies,
In the corner noiselessly asleep.
A long trampled aspiration
Waits patiently in the hallway.
Left to lie until the dusk comes
To sweep them to their deserved rest,
With her gentle golden fingers.
Dreams that have yet to awaken;
But meant to be dreamt all the same.
A spark not caught, not yet a blaze.
People not yet born, whose lives are
Already planned all the way through”
― Emilia G. Roberts

our way back home.”

“Й кожен із нас віддаляється один від одного, кожен летить власним шляхом до своєї єдиної мети смерті в самотині. Але любов створює противагу цьому процесу, любов - це акт єднання й збереження. Як ото люди тримаються за руки на палубі корабля, що тоне, аби не дати відірвати себе одне від одного, так само наші тіла утворюють людский ланцюг, який допомагає нам не бути зметеними в небуття.”
