I get ready to go out and drink,
putting on that outfit that will shine when I meet,
new and interesting individuals,
for my habit that is habitual,
forgetting about what happened to me during the week,
using the weekend to end the streak,
of the punishing work that leaves me meek,
drinking and dancing back up to my peak,
so when I get back I can repeat,
the process where I sink,
because I think I'm addicted to the punishment,
and I need it to be frequent,
even though none of my actions will ever prevent,
me from making the same mistakes,
staying up way too late,
feeling like life has no breaks,
so I'm going to stay intoxicated,
in this life that I've created,
treating every weekend like it's a celebration,
when I'm really using it as an escapism,
so the next time you see me while I'm enjoying the evening,
behind that smile in the deep recesses of my being,
my subconscious will be busy thinking,
maybe I should be giving my life a new meaning,
but that day isn't tonight,
so will you raise a glass with me until the return of the sunlight?

Repeating the same mistakes

RE: What feature do you suggest that will make TWS great social site?
@ragnar I think the biggest improvement you can do is make groups something more useful. Like a section only those in the group can see, that when posted in there, everyone in the group gets a notification.

Life's a river, you just need to plot your course.
Life is a river taking different paths,
and the flow can be redirected depending on how you act,
but still some things are out of your control,
as obstacles can fall in the way of your previous goals,
and it's hard to know where you will go after,
when a tree falls in your way making you feel battered,
but that doesn't mean that you'll be shattered,
it's an opportunity to explore,
different avenues that you didn't see before,
because it's easy to traverse a set course,
but sometimes seeing only one thing can be worse,
and it takes the help of someone with a map,
to come to show you so you may snap,
out of what you thought was the only way.
Just because things change and you've been led astray,
doesn't mean it's not going to be OK,
you just have to keep paddling to see where this leads,
to see new ways you can succeed,
because you are not defined by what you cannot control,
but you can learn from what happened to help get ahold,
of the direction of your boat,
and I'm sure you've made mistakes but learning from them will keep you afloat.
So take this opportunity to see who you are,
and some things will feel bizarre,
but that's normal when you're afraid that you're about to sink,
seeing the rocks scratch and crack thinking you'll be at the brink,
but the scars are just there to show you your journey,
so just remember them so you don't forget but don't worry,
the things that have happened have made,
you who you are and that person is great,
so just keep rowing with the stream since that's the best direction,
as trying to go against the flow is an impossible task that will leave you feeling dejected. -
RE: First thing you think of after waking up
@polyprincess92 the worst is when it's 2 or 3 in the morning, and you really have to pee, but your so comfortable, you actually debate with yourself if you should just piss the bed, and deal with that later.

Finding the right people when you're down
If you let yourself get pushed around you can end up in an empty shell,
of the person that you used to be and everyone can just tell,
that there is something off about you now and you are far from well,
so you begin to think about how you've got there and as you dwell,
how you can begin to dig yourself out of your own personal hell,
and that can start a journey of making new connections,
to see who else out there has experienced the same sort of dejection,
a process in which seems has no real selection,
but when you look in the right places it's easy to start to find your direction,
where you'll gravitate to those who've also had personal conflict,
from which the best can make you feel emotionally stripped,
and get down to the source of where you've started to slip,
as they help you finally take steps to make your trip,
in this life that you're making,
where hopefully you've been reached before you reach the breaking,
point of no return that can feel a bit overwhelming,
but with their help you'll finally start to feel something uplifting,
that you're not really alone,
you're not the only one to travel these paths on your own.
It takes another for you to be shown,
that you shouldn't have to feel like you have to atone,
for things that just happen beyond your control,
but it's still hard not to blame yourself for this toll,
that you've put on yourself and your loved ones while you dig out of that hole,
so these new friends are what you need for the health of your soul,
and even though they're online it doesn't make them any less,
the right connection can make you feel blessed,
that they've helped you address,
some things you've pushed back too far holding back your progress,
in your worst moment of distress,
because you're not the only one to be depressed,
and not the only one to experience it in the same way.
You should never feel afraid,
to reach out at your worst moments of dismay,
any moment of there time can make your day,
so even though there can be a great distance,
it's just nice to know of there existence,
as the best friends will give you a lot of patience,
to help you while they give you assistance,
to find your own personal finish line,
that will come in due time,
but until you are able to find,
where that may lie,
you have people in your life that will help you feel fine. -
The greatest of trees
You're the sturdiest of wood,
able to weather the harshest storms,
your moral compass points you to do good,
pushing for better things around you to be the new norm,
there are those who would take there axes to your bark,
and cut you down where you stand,
but you're protected by animal companions who won't let you be marked,
as they help you protect your land.
You have roots that run deep into a soil of love,
and your companions will be there for you to help with your tasks,
as they seem to descend from your branches above,
for they need you too as it's under your warm canopy they bask,
so don't worry about that fire on the horizon,
your pals can fetch water from the rivers of bonding to drench you as you need,
since you're something for which is worth fighting,
because you are a Willow the greatest of trees. -
Freedom writers - writing, one story together
@Violetttttt gave me the idea of doing a collaborative story with her post, where after one person finishes, the next will continue. If you're interested message below, and I'll get a group chat together, and we'll decide order of who writes.

Life is simple, there are just hard decisions.
Life is simple it's just full of hard decisions,
and when you're stuck in a situation it's easy to have confusion,
so it's important to take a step back,
to analyze if you're on the right track,
and don't be afraid to find some outside help,
a group of friends and family to help you out,
because sometimes you'll have people that are toxic,
and it can lead to your life being a bit chaotic,
as it's difficult to notice,
that you're being dragged down till it feels like your situation is hopeless,
not noticing how your life has been changing,
stuck in a rut with the mistakes you are making,
but it's not your fault,
it's too hard to see from the perspective of one so to halt,
the assault on your feelings,
it takes talking to those outside to help you with dealing,
with the problems you have in your current situation.
The hardest thing to do when you realize,
which comes faster when you've been given good advice,
is to not be afraid to cut people out,
because you can't see straight in all that clout,
and once they're gone,
it won't take long,
to get back to your emotional center,
and you never noticed how much better,
you could be,
with all that negativity,
so as I say life is simple,
it just takes some hard decisions to make your life twinkle. -
Writer's block is the worst.
I want to write but I don't know what,
so I go to Google to look up,
what ideas that I'd consider a must,
and it continues to be a bust,
so I just do what feels more comfortable,
and that's try to go with what I'm more knowledgeable,
but for some reason that's also not doing the trick,
and it's like my brain is sluggish with thoughts that are thick,
so I just write what ever comes to mind,
wondering if I'll ever find,
the inspiration I've been searching for,
but as I try to implore,
myself for some sort of sign,
some sort of trigger to get me by,
I'm just left staring at a blank page,
finding it hard to gauge,
if the problem is in myself,
or if it's because I've been unwell,
or I'm just running out of ideas it's too hard to tell,
so I try to sell,
myself on a new idea,
something I haven't considered as a part of my arena,
but that exploration may be for another tomorrow,
as it's hard to try and borrow,
thoughts that are too abstract,
and have I reached the bottom where all of my concepts are tapped?
Who knows but I'll keep pushing just in case,
because stopping now would be a mistake,
so I'll go at this again,
maybe sometime on the weekend,
because nothing's coming at this moment,
as sometimes I'm just my own worst opponent,
so I'll continue searching for that next moment of brilliance,
since sometimes I just need some distance,
to be able to continue without interference,
of my own worst enemy,
which can seem like a parody,
but it's just another case of myself overthinking,
so I'll continue later but for now I'll be leaving. -
RE: Is love enough????
@ragnar this totally reminded me of the promises of forever I've made too many times before. I don't think that can ever be made in reality, because humans change all the time, and the only constant is the sun rising in the morning. And to answer your question, no love isn't enough. You need a partner to help you across the finish line.

RE: IF I WERE A BOY
@nutellabiggoat
If I were a girl,
I could pee while squatting,
I could not worry about height,
I could turn down boys,
I could watch my tits forever,
I would have to maintain my complexion,
I would have an excuse for my mood swings,
I would just deal with the pms,
I would have to bleed,
maybe
MY PENIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO
I could do whatever I want. (I'm still an adult)
I could use a sheween to pee.
I could avoid wearing pants.
Things were so simple, if I were a girl.
I don't know why I am even responding. -
Finding direction from a courier of darkness
Upon me you did descend,
and it seemed as if you came from heaven,
but then I noticed how much you loved the sin,
as whenever there was something dirty I could feel within,
a passion within both of us that would brighten,
with the fire in my soul feeling like it had finally been lit,
and a comfort that comes with you I've been able to use to my own benefit.
The more I'm with you the less I tend to drop,
to those familiar lows I live with that just stop,
whenever you show up I'm always on top,
because you're a blaze engulfing me,
that expands giving me more energy.
As our days go on you introduce a new temptation,
that makes me loose all concentration,
as every part of you is nothing but stimulating,
from just sitting to talk for hours,
that leaves me feeling empowered,
or just sharing our inner desires,
that you seem to be an amplifier,
for how strong those provocative thoughts feel,
making it easy for me to deal,
with myself as our time makes me forget that I was melancholy,
being replaced by a sense of jolly.
Your biggest and best attribute,
one that no one could refute,
is you're surrounded by something so alluring,
being close to you has me desiring,
more of you with those thoughts so impure,
as you've also been my cure,
for this inner turmoil,
pulling them away like a conduction coil.
You're definitely the angel in my life,
but you're also one that's fallen,
and your vibrancy I can feel on me as it's calling,
so I'll always welcome your benevolence,
as just a moment of your time comes at your own decision,
but you've been nothing but a wonderful addiction,
to my life as I feel my soul pointed in a delightful direction,
and I just await to see what happens next with my immoral messenger. -
May I have this dance?
When we first met we performed a little dance,
it was almost as if I was in a trance,
and it all felt so happenstance,
to be at the same time and place,
as I kept up with your pace,
the ebbs and flows, ins and outs as I'd almost touch your face.
As you’d come into me I'd step back,
and when I'd lean forward you'd react,
by moving with me in the exact.
A delicate balance we had that was set forth,
as we cast our shadows outward from the hearth,
and although our gait would at times have a certain girth,
an intrinsic performance we were staging,
and all who saw said we were quite entrancing,
but none of that mattered as I only had eyes for you while dancing.
As our hands would meet,
keeping up with the rhythm of our feet,
it was then I finally got to greet,
your face with mine,
for a skin to skin moment that combined,
our energy into a synergetic masterpiece that almost seemed designed,
and as we picked up our movements,
preparing for our final moment,
for the two of us in our spontaneous enjoyment.
I set you spinning for a spectacular twirl,
for with you I knew we could not fail,
as I entrusted you to complete our kinetic jail,
with which once was finished I bent you down for a dip,
where upon your lips I did kiss,
to finish our rhythmic blitz,
and as I lock eyes onto you the one I've had to depend,
I was starting to comprehend,
that our enthralling display had come to an end. -
Half a heartbeat
We were born minutes from the other,
the greatest gift to uncover,
is a best friend to have forever,
in the form of my baby brother.
Growing up everything was so typical,
with my bro having my back made life a little more special,
with the times of joyous jubilation,
or the boring monotony that's less than stimulating,
but best of all he's there for those sad moments that seem so despairing.
Doing our normal routine that kept us in sync,
the path that's been paved hitting those normal beats,
our family decided we'd take a trip to somewhere new,
but this decision is what led our normal path astrew.
Driving to our destination,
my dad didn't see the ice on the road in that direction,
and in one instant my life had changed,
my dad was gone and my mother was maimed,
my brother survived with some breaks and scrapes,
then we found out about a heart defect that changed his fate.
In a coma my mother lay for the next year,
we were soon giving up and it was driving me to tears,
and right before we gave up she came out of her slumber,
but then that's when my brother discovered,
that he only had a few days to live,
I didn't know what to do and I would give,
anything to prevent what I knew would happen,
I couldn't think straight as I couldn't have fathomed,
that the day I'd get my mother back,
would be the day I learned my heart would be torn in half. -

RE: Why TWS has declined
@lucifer_ huh and to think I followed her and tried to contribute to her posts. I know karma is fake numbers, and it doesn't bother me too much, but fuck is it childish to waste your time doing that. Oh well, I guess children need to learn the hard way that you get love by spreading it, and upvotes by being interesting.

RE: later alligator
@willoww good for you. I hope you figure yourself out, and once you're healthy enough again, I hope to see you around here once more. I'd love to stay in touch, please keep me updated on what's going on in your life from time to time.

The feeling this describes is when your soul has an orgasm, so it is called, "Soulgasm"
I never knew someone could take the breath away from me with just their kindness.
You can make my heart beat faster just with your brightness.
Your thoughtfulness has the ability to bring me to tears.
I'm filled with joy, as I didn't even know what I was missing all these years.
My arms shake and quiver just thinking of what I mean to you.
There is a feeling that strikes me into my soul all the way through.
You've broken my brain, and made my thoughts scatter.
Everything is incoherent, but with you there, none of it matters.
It takes so many minutes before I can recollect myself into something workable.
When I get my senses back there you are to make me comfortable.
It's a feeling I never knew I could get.
But with you, it's just something I know I can expect.
I want you to know that one thing you'll never have to fear,
is being alone, because you'll always have me year after year. -
Here's to a good "Date night"
I want to greet you with flowers,
as I feed you some chocolates,
then I'll pour the Champagne while giving you compliments,
and after we've done some talking,
I'll get the cuffs out to do some restraining,
and push you on your back, then I come at you with an attack,
of kisses from cheek to your inner thigh,
as you can't do a thing as I force you to lie,
there and take my every command,
the only thing you're allowed to do is what I demand,
and I'll keep going,
to get your juices flowing,
before you know it,
I'm engorged and encouraged enough to abuse it.
I come at you as I enter you hard and fast,
and for you it'll be hard to last,
as the force that I'm bringing,
will have you moaning,
and I'll flip you over,
as I grab your shoulders,
and continue to use you as I wish,
because you know baby you're the tastiest dish.
