I'm a total wreck. Afraid to let anyone near. Afraid they'll see the real me.
Ellen Hopkins
Image
I need to capture my sprite with trembling hands. Except I could crush her. Wonder how many small things of beauty - flowers, seashells, dragonflies - have met such a demise. Wonder how much fragile love has collapsed beneath the weight of confession.

Memory is a tenuous thing, like a rainbow's end or a camera with a failing lens.
Ellen Hopkins
Image
God i've missed you. I can't wait to give you your present. He kisses me hotter this time, and beneath me, through his denim and mine. I can feel the promise of his Christmas gift soon to come.

Image
You gotta be crazy to open your windows, invite the demons in.
Ellen Hopkins
Image
But hey, I'm not exactly sold on the idea that love is, in fact, real. Will it find me one day, overtake me, infiltrate my life like sunlight snakes through the cold of morning? Can love thaw me? will it ever?
Ellen Hopkins
Image
Don't make me laugh, I'd much rather cry.
Ellen Hopkins
Image
Alone everything changes. Some might call it distorted reality but it's exactly the place I need to be.

Communication Was never big in my house. We sat together over dinner, but the only sound you'd hear was crunching and chewing and the little ones asking for more, please. We lived, all boxed up in invisible containers. We hardly knew the people we called sister or father. Jackie and I were the exceptions to that rule.
