when the air kisses my skin and there's nothing around me but the world and the music that's playing from my headphones, drowning everything out, my mind does an out of body departure and soars towards the stars. so far, far past the ground i stand on, far past the clouds that shade me, far past the moon, the planets, the sun, past everything and everyone until it's reached a certain point of timeless space and zero-gravity. floating there, while it sorts through the events that unfolded throughout the day, sorting through words and images. and when all the knowledge is settled, neat and compact, my mind spirals back towards me, cradling its revelations gently. life is so short, so traumatic, and yet so intensely beautiful. everything, no matter how simple or how complex, is always filled with the passion that life brings us. it offers us so many options, so many different routes to take, paths to walk down, with countless outcomes, until we reach one inevitable end. but isn't the ride amazing? walking home, the steady rhythm of my footsteps on the concrete in beat with the pound of the music playing in my ear, i just let my thoughts run away. tangle together and mesh with beauty, and some thoughts made me realize so much. there was such a simplicity in realizing how honestly happy i was that it left me breathless. i have such incredible people to spend my days with, to make me smile and laugh, and although there are those who may drive me up a wall from time to time, i still hold the dearest love for them. i've gone through only a piece of my lifetime and already my eyes have witnessed so much, my soul has experienced such heights and i've overcome such odds. and when i think about it, god it's astounding. to think that if one little thing had been altered, if there had been the slightest change in time or steps or anything, then a piece of your history could be completely erased and thus possibly creating a chain-reaction and altering an event ahead of that. an entire domino effect. if i'd changed a single thought, a single beat in my step, one slight shift of wind, everything could be different. but would you really want it to be? all the obstacles that i've come out of, with all the scenes i've witnessed, are what i am derived from. i am currently the person i am now, standing before you all, due to each sequence. my eyes have seen bloodshed, they've gone through countless hours of tears, my body, my soul and mind have metaphorically gone through hell and came out with only but several burns.

if we could somehow invert the images of what we see now, we might see the true colors of everyone, the proof of what scars they hold. i know that if i stood under a black light you'd see the stains life has left on me. tar dripping off of cut up skin, but my chest would have a shining hole, a light that would blind you because that's where my heart is placed and that is what keeps me going. chains would drag from my ankles and wrists, but i'd be able to walk each step with strength because i know that within me i have the power to always go on. it doesn't matter how far i sink, how many hands drag me farther down, i will always persevere to the top. i will always come out with a stronger soul. and you know what? i'll never have to do it alone, because in this world i have found those hearts that hold me. those hands that will lift me up even if my sky falls down. through all the storms that we still have to face, i know they'll be by my side. and dear god do i love them for it, i thrive off of their love and devotion, i thrive off of their happiness. i'd sacrifice my life, my all and everything for their smiles to live on for eternity, because i'd be nowhere near where i am without having had them. without their laughter, their voices, their smiles and their love, i would not be me. i am a piece of all of those around me, they are who i am, they are who created me, and all the compassion, all the hope and integrity that i give to the world is because of the purity in their hearts that i see. such beautiful people, with such honest hearts inside of them. they may never be able to see it, but dear lord do i. i see so much potential in them all. i see so much light within each of them, they are the stars that scatter across my night, they are always and forever going to be my reason to live, i can never emphasize that enough. they are who i am continuing for. all my struggles, all my hardships? i fight through for them, because they are the light at the end of my tunnel.

MEGAN ELIZAH JOY GONZALEZ.

it's a shame i wrote this for a girl who never appreciated my friendship,

but instead made it seem real on the surface when in fact underneath it all, it was hollow.

i see so much beauty in you. unyielding generosity and such strength, but every now and then i see it waver and it kills me. there is so much that life has to offer you, but sometimes i witness you pass it up. god, i don't want you to. i want you to realize how much you have within you, and to grab hold of that and just force it out. you need to push, climb your way to the top. you have your whole life to sort through all these little things. lost love, new love, unrequited love and unfound love, these little crushes, the scraps and bruises, the tears and angry words, there's time for all that, but right now you need to be you. all of you, and not hide that from the world ever, because the purity that i see inside that heart of yours in endless. your're so much more lovely than words can express. don't let the little things tear that pretty smile from your face, ever; it's too beautiful a sight to see. you have so much more left to see, so much more room to grow and so many more people to meet. things may seem hard now, but they will only get harder so you shouldn't dwell on the past nor the things that try to get you down now. there is no time for complaints of even the smallest of things, because there is too much that you have to smile about. and through whatever you go through, you know i will be there. i don't care what happens or how things get, i don't care about anything but making sure you're okay. i will always be there to hold you when you're crying, i will always be there, tissue in hand, wiping the tears and running makeup from your face. you will always be able to count on me because you've shown me that you'll be there to care about me no matter what. you gorgeous girl, you've pulled me through a lot. you've given me so many reasons to smile, you've given me so much love and hope, that i could never deny you my devotion. you mean so much more to me than you'll ever know, and no matter what, no matter how i'm feeling, no matter how bad things get, that fact will never change. you'll always be my little sister, and i will always be there to love you and to try my best to protect you. never doubt that. ever.

MORE TO COME..

MEET THE GIRL BEHIND THE WORDS;

if only there were enough letters, words and time in the world, then maybe i could tell you my whole story, but i doubt that the human attention span can endure that much. i'll shed some light on you all though. my name, in its entirity, is Destiny Mariah Isabella Frometa, and it's going to stay that way. i am eighteen years old, i'll be ninteen january twenty fourth of the year 2011. i was born and raised a jersey girl, jersey city precisely, but i'm not your average, run-of-the-mill, i'll-fuck-you-up-if-you-so-much-as-look-at-me-the-wrong-way, jersey city girl. i have depth to my character, i think with the mind i know i have and not only with my fists. don't doubt me though, i've been in countless fights and i can handle myself effortlessly, i just happen to be smart about shit first. i'm bipolar, my moods are constant ups and downs, and i can admit i'm a very complicated girl to deal with. i often feel very alone, and i do happen to have manic lows and not casually, but i try my hardest to push past that. i love being optimistic about things, i try my best to be positive, because not only does it affect me but others as well. i'm very impulsive, i tend to go with the flow and just try my best to keep people happy, i love to have fun, what can i say? haha, i love living life with my friends by my side and a smile on my face, as rough as things may get, i come out strong. each experience we go through, any obstacle overcome, that's something that makes you stronger. no one can bring you down but yourself, your greatest enemy in this world will always be you. never let words of others hit you negatively, because in truth, the only reason people judge others without reason is because they are insecure about themselves or jealous of an attribute you have. i can talk for hours about society, my beliefs and thoughts and just the world in general. i smoke newport 100s, and yes i am aware it's a disgusting habit, but it's my choice. i have an odd taste in music. i'm an asshole to the full extent of the word. i love all forms of art, and the completely bizarre. ive been called many things, from insane to eccentric. i have strange habits and abnormal hobbies. i have those small quirks that make me who i am. i'll admit that i can be like the rest of them, the youthful trash of america, seemingly corrupted by society. i'll admit not all the choices i make in my life will be the right one, i'll mess a lot up, and i'll make many mistakes, but it's my job to get back up when i fall and learn from my encounters. i'm so much more than what you see. i have depth, i have compassion, and i have a mind that yearns to grow and explore. i have hopes and i have dreams, i have determination and i have strength. i am so much more than just another lost cause.

and patiently my heart is waiting,

while the wind is whispering your name.

yo, lil' red riding hood thought she was so brave, roaming through the mean streets of LA, bags of coke in her basket. a homicidal maniacs wet dream, lil' girl was askin'. along comes wolfy all hyped up on acid, bitch was trippin' on some other shit, a bizarre twist on this classic. strung out, wolfy was tweakin' and for little girl flesh that boy was feenin'.around the corner came lil' red hood, yeah you guessed it, our wolfy grabbed her and that bitch was done for good. she screamed and pleaded but to no prevail, defeated, she accepted her fate and began to see it, "oh wolfy, what big eyes you got there," "what big eyes," she repeated and he snapped his jaws closed and nodded in agreement. "im rollin' on that good shit, addicted, you feel me? drugs are what i gotta have, they're so good, they heal me." a devilish glint lit up her eyes, and little red told wolfy she got him a surprise, she retrieved her basket, her motions too quick for him to catch, and when she opened that shit she showed him the batch. bags upon bags of an endless white, powdery stash, and she agreed to let him have it all for her life, fuck cash. wolfy, eyes bugged out, mouth open, hastily agreed and began to snort that coke in. line after line he inhaled the substance, but things then went wrong, he fucked up, oh shit. he felt his body begin to shake, his blood pumping while his heartbeat raced. too much, too much shit all at once and now poor wolfy, that kid was dust. his eyes rolled back while his body OD'ed and there little red was, saying, "you little shit, next time don't fuck with me."

besides, the darker the walls the brighter the sky outside.
