“Dear me, silence is not a song you should know all the words to.”

Anyone else here deeply and irreversibly scarred by The Crickets Have Arthritis by Shane Koyczan when they were a suicidal teenager?

Sweets talking to Hodgens about broken hearts and the human condition really reminds me of the Shane Koyczan quote:

"If your heart is broken, make art with the pieces."

To This Day - Shane Koyczan

[may-odaigahara]

that Shane Koyczan poem about the army is one of the most monstrously evil things I've ever read in my life

[anxiety-disaster]

And when that kid in you falls, turn around, pick them up, dust them off, then continue. Trust me, you are gonna need that kid. You are gonna need someone to remind you that every weed is a flower, just trying to make shit work, that every jerk you ever encounter is just another someone who somehow forgot that it's okay to need a hug. It's okay to be afraid.

- Shane Koyczan

And despite an army of friends Who all call him an inspiration He remains a conversation piece between people Who can’t understand Sometimes being drug-free Has less to do with addiction And more to do with sanity

"To This Day" by Shane Koyczan (x)

“Tomorrow, I want to bring you a piece of paper with the telephone number of a taxi cab company that knows the exact address of my arms, so the day you need a hug I’m going to be there for that.”

The poet that made me.

6:59

i’ve been told

that people in the army

do more by 7:00am

than I do 

in an entire day

but if I wake

at 6:59am

and turn to you

and trace the outline of your lips

with mine, 

I will have done enough

and killed no one

in the process

"If you ever want to know how it feels to be saved,

Just let someone save you.

Let someone rescue the smile drowning inside you,

It's not too late, I swear."

Love and hate are beasts, and the one that grows is the one you feed

Don’t laugh to fit in.

Laughter should be honest. If there is no sincerity in your joy, then your happiness will be a forgery that fools only yourself.

I don’t share my writing on here but I’m in my final year of getting my English/creative writing degree :D I actually got into writing bc of the spoken word poet Shane Koyczan! I was introduced to his work in my English class when I was 12.

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you
