jasmine...
tell me what you think...
jasmine's what I smell when I feel sad....it doesn't matter where...at the mall, in my room, or on the way home from school...what's around me might be gas fumes, sweat, and cigarettes....but suddenly through it all, I'll smell this beautiful scent...the aroma of a white flower...a flower I've hardly ever seen, or smelled for that matter... but right along with the sting of whatever caused the pain...a teacher snapping at me, a friend not saying 'hi', my boyfriend ignoring me...wherever it comes from...being put down, or just being....just thinking everything and everyone is awful....it can cut at me, it can suffocate me, it can make me feel like there's no hope at all....and yet, while it's rushing through me...hurt, failure, and hopelessness just takes over me...I'll smell it, I'll smell the jasmine, and in the middle of all these moments when I feel like I'm nothing at all, when I feel like I'm slipping and about to go under, there's a sweetness...a kindness, a soft white flower that whispers my name....and won't let me go...<3
