One less reason...



One less reason to trust discovered,
one more temptation to gossip removed.
One more beacon of hope extinguished,
one more reason that trust must be proved.

I am a reformed, homeschooled, 16 yo christian. I love reading, tree climbing, sad songs, sad poems, and mushy poems. I love working hard with friends, listening to sufjan stevens, the eagles, aerosmith, over the rhine, iron and wine, the postal service, and I hate working alone. I hate spiders, centipedes, and any other bugs with a lot of hair, legs or general body mass. I love earl grey tea, windy days, grassy fields, and creeks. I love wandering, and hopping fences. I love hugs when I'm sad, and kisses when I'm not. I love knives, and I like guns, and I love verbally slapping down uppity teenage boys, and making my friends laugh with a good (or bad) joke.
