I always find I end up overusing a word
or a couple.
I don't remember where I picked them up
friends , the tube, the web
I feel as though words lose their touch
the more times you say them.
it just becomes sorta automatic...
It's all good
It might have been.
But I think I'm going to have an anxiety attack
and my body has decided to fight it with a fever.
Joy.
I hate boys...
well... maybe i like them a little.
ha ha lol
aka - its not funny.
facebook convo's are lame no matter how you look at them
try talking to me in person.
words make great fillers in empty silence
and nowadays - who is ever speechless....
sweet deal
now go away.
I really don't care about anything
that comes out of your mouth
the gossip can stop now.
I can only be jealous of so many people
especially those who have the courage to do the things I want to
but just can't
legit
as in for real
really a lot
actually
no way
if i used the whole word
it would sound like i swallowed a dictionary
and nobody likes those people
verbose was never my style
and legit - i can't think clearly where you're around
you are the reason i can't sleep anymore.
maybe a thesaurus will keep the insomnia away.....
I love you
not overused for me really.
if i mean it, i say it
if i don't then honestly? i'm just not ready
its not that i don't like you....but
i'm not your girlfriend. (yet)
its called going out
and
maybe i don't want to waste my words
if only the silence was bearable...

I used some of my overused words of the month to write this.
I also just think this way

but its all going through my head right now.
i think i have anxiety issues.

5 thumbs up!
HOLY CR@P.
I am sorry, but this made me tear up, and I am a dude! I loved it, and it is so true. people, society, everyone, has started to loss meaning.
What we say can rarely be trusted, and I know it because rarely does truth escape my lips. I simply don't want to hear more empty words, coming from someone I could care less about.
I don't want to feel this way, but I do.
I don't want to speak this way, but I do.
You have taken what, for most people, is everyday life, and turned it into a awe-inspiring, shocking, hit-you-dead-center-because-you-are-expressed-perfectly-in-those-words, piece of beauty.
Thank you.
