What would you do?
When you are 19 and trying your hand in photography, you take what you can get. You don't turn down a job opportunity or dismiss someone who appreciates what you do.
So... when the most influencial man in your town says he likes what you do, you smile like an idiot and accept the compliment as graciously as you can. He asks you out to dinner to talk about a possible job and all you can do is agree whole heartedly.
Afterwards, he asks you back to his place to talk and you feel slightly wary. He is twice your age after all. You agree anyways because you need the job.
You arrive and he sits you in the living room, giving you a glass of champagne, insisting that no one will care if he said it was all right. He talks too much about himself and asks too much about you. He gets too personal and too close. However, your mind is still on the money and you don't really notice. Not until he rests his hand so far up your thigh, it doesn't really count as leg anymore. You begin your rebuttle, but he is already on top of you.
Squirming won't help you now. He likes that. Screaming won't do any good. No one can hear you. Telling later is pointless. The police are putty in his strong, controlling hands. He asks you, "Didn't you need the job?" He doesn't wait for your answer. "I'll make this as quick as possible. All you need to do is keep that pretty little mouth of yours shut."
So, what do you do? You lay there and take it with tears streaming down your face because you're only 19 and he has power. Who would believe your word over his?

Madness
I can feel it creeping in. It hits me at night when I try to sleep but just toss and turn for hours. It hits me when I'm at work and my mind wanders. Some people notice when my eyes glaze over and I seem like a robot. I always notice. I try to reel it in but to no avail. These lines on my wrist tell me I still exist. The hard bumps where the cuts are soothe me far more than any word or touch. The madness is becoming who I am. Or maybe it was always who I was. Maybe I am only just realizing that it exists. I can hear it calling me. Maybe someday I'll give in and indulge myself in it. Maybe someday I'll fall and never return...

He
He is my experiment. My toy. I'm using him so I can learn and study reactions. Fuck. I'm using him. To distract me. To learn from. I am just gonna hurt him. I'm so stupid... I need to stop. I need to say no. I need to move on. I need.... I just need to learn to shut up.

Screaming in the Dark
my footsteps scrunch and my rubber soles squeak?
Why do you say the cold is calming and
peaceful? My mind fills the night with dreadful
thoughts of murder and other horrid things.
The white snow haunts me and the hush air kills.
Your so-called “silence” will be my slow death.
Your so-called “silence” will be my slow death.
The white snow haunts me and the hush air kills.
Thoughts of murder and other horrid things…
Peaceful? My mind fills the night with dread so
why do you say the cold is calming as
my footsteps scrunch and my rubber soles squeak?
As I Walk Down The Hallway
We slide unnoticed into a corner.
His hands move to my waist.
He leans forward and our lips meet.
I wrap my arms around his neck.
My fingers run through his hair.
He pulls me closer.
Our mouths move together,
Our lust finally finding an escape.
His hand slides up my shirt
His fingers run hot against my skin
And…
The bell rings.
I open my eyes.
I’m still in class.
It was just a dream.
No hot make-out session.
Just stupid AP Bio.
Urg.
Forever
These secrets will be my downfall...
I just want you all to know that I am a bad person. I keep secrets from those I love because I know the things I do will hurt them. But I do these things anyway. I let myself go far too easily and I am not quite right in the head. Maybe if I was saner I wouldn't fall so easily into temptation. I am an addict for anything and anyone that makes me forget and makes me feel good. I am not a good person and you deserve better.

Ouch....
Well that hurt more than I thought it would. You strode to the front of the stage with your sax in your hand. I tried desperately to look everywhere, anywhere else. You smiled and played beautifully. I couldn't help it. I watched the whole time. The familier lean and you hit the stronger notes. The way the crowd could tell you knew what you were doing... It was more than I could bear.
Even after the show I could tell when you were near. You didn't acknowledge me though. You probably didn't know I was there. Your sister didn't look at me either. And your mom, who normally would go out of her way to talk to me, avoided my pleading gaze.
There's too much strife. I can't stand to be around you or see you or hear of you when there is so much unsaid. Seeing you happy and content hurt more than I though it would. There is nothing I can do at this point. Trying to talk to you would be useless. I deleted you from my phone and my facebook but you'll always be in my heart and my memories.
I'm sorry, Dan. You were a good friend but you ran away when challenged. You weren't as strong as I thought you were.

William
I spent the night with a man named William.
We sat for hours and sipped our wine. We spoke of movies and music and books. We contemplated the meanings of life and death. We shared stories and laughed until we could not breathe. I fell asleep in his arms and made him breakfast in the morning.
Complications arose and he had to leave shortly after. He only kissed me twice. Once quickly and nervously early in the evening. One lingering and passionate right as he left. I knew him for a few short hours, but I felt like I had known him my whole life. I may never meet him again, but I will always remember the night I fell for a man named William.

That awkward moment when the person you need to see this never will...
Hey you. Yeah, you! I know we haven't spoken since... Well... Since we dropped you off that day... But I just want you to know that I'm sorry I was such a mess. I'm sorry for everything I did. But mostly I want to let you know that no matter what happened between us... Between any of us... Whenever I look at any of those stupid pictures I took of you, I still smile. I wish things were different. But life never does what we want it to, does it?
