“I‘ve been trying to stay real
and true and proud of who I am
All those ideals of how to look
I‘ve been trying not to care

But I‘m still holding my breath
I‘m still watching every step
I‘m still tip-toeing away
when I‘m getting too ashamed of myself

Though I‘m mostly quiet
I‘ve got a lot to say
but nothing seems to please you
so I‘ll keep it to myself 👇

LiterRohde I don‘t want to be your let down
I‘m scared like hell I‘m not enough
I don‘t want to be your failure anymore

I don‘t want to be your let down
I‘m screaming loud without a sound
Have to find a way to
be the best of me
Failure scares the hell out of me”

“Imagine a summer night. It's warm enough to not wear a hoodie and you're biking with no shoes on. Your friends are laughing and joking, biking next to you. If you're biking fast enough and keep your eyes focused in front of you the traffic lights turn into golden shooting stars above and beside. It reminds you of magic.”👇

LiterRohde “But also the nights you sat in the backseat of a car, watching the raindrops slowly slide down the window.

You remember thinking that if you focus your eyes on the raindrops the passing cars look like golden comets shooting by, one by one, and it reminded you of being young, biking with your friends on empty streets at midnight.”👇

LiterRohde “You're happy but it's all such a blur and if you close your eyes you can both escape and hold on to the moments a little bit longer. You want both. You want to escape and hold on at the same time, and that's why it hurts.” 5y

#QuotsyJune19 Day 1: #Bare
I used to love confessional poetry, now I don‘t really know what I feel about them. I am getting old.

6 months, 2 weeks, 4 days,
and I still don‘t know which month it was then
or what day it is now.
I replace cafés with crowded bars and empty roads with broken bottles
and this town is healing me slowly...

I'm not very good at making specific plans. Just meet me under the sky somewhere and be alive with me.

" I live in my own flames
sometimes burning too bright and too wild
to make things last
or handle
myself or anyone else
and so I run."

But I was young
and didn‘t know better
and someone should have told me to capture every second
every kiss & every night
Because now I‘m sitting here alone and it‘s getting really hard to breath because tears are growing in my throat and they want to break out...
and I just want to be somewhere silent
somewhere still...
I was so damn lonely and I was content with that
because I liked myself and my own company
and I didn‘t need anyone
I thought

"There‘s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I'm born to leave."

Let me wake up next to you, have coffee in the morning and wander through the city with your hand in mine, and I'll be happy for the rest of my fucked up little life.
