not help it.
We are passionate and misfitted. Adopted by the same Father. The world abandoned us and abandons us on a daily basis.
We are foreign. Not of this world. We are birds of a feather. We are sisters and kindred souls. Bosom friends. Dearest soulmate-friends.
We are contrasted. Dark and light, black and white, silence and speech. We are so very different from each other. But so very similar in the most important ways.
We are compassionate and gentle. We are the little girl intent on saving every bird that falls out of it's nest. We become scratched and tainted in the process but our brokenness only reminds us of our humanness.
I am an individual.
She is an individual.
Alone we are misfits. together we are undeniable.
we are loved by many and understood by few. And we like it that way.

“Come, let us return to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us.
He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds.
In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.
Oh, that we might know the Lord!
Let us press on to know him.
He will respond to us as surely as the arrival
of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”
Oh how these words bring hope to my heart!
Emo [according to Urban Dictionary because such a word does not exist in the real one.] :
"Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who don't smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle."
Do you really have to ascribe this definition to us?
I mean...really?
Do you feel more self affirmed once you put a stamp on those unlike yourself?
Stop acting like children.
Please, simply love us or leave us be.
It is who we are
It is what we emulate
It is what we evoke
We are the very esscence of dysfunction
who is to say it is wrong or a bad thing?
