Biting lips.  Making them red, for appearance.  I leaned over the drain to spit and rinse, but coughed up blood instead.  It happened repeatedly.  A terrifying cycle.  And this is what our self-absorption led us to.  But, oh, I love this self-indulgence.  My dirty little secret.  Malicious grins that promise nothing.  But, oh, I love these little vices.  So ordinary, yet so extraordinary.  Some people just have that aura.  They just stand out that little bit more.  They’re the fascinating beings.  The ones that the invisible like me could only dream of being; of knowing.  The ones we watch, secretly idolising and just maybe lusting a little bit after.  While I cough up my blood, what are you doing?  Besides being amazing, extraordinary, and all those other flattering and overused adjectives, I mean.  You make me smile.  Oh dear, Girl’s gone lost her head again.  Insanity.  But delightful insanity.  The fun one.  And yet, I don’t feel like making myself beautiful.  I feel that if you strayed from your great and spectacular individuality and came to visit my shadows, you wouldn’t come on false pretenses or demand me to change.  Because you’re like that.  I mean, hell, I could be wrong, I usually am, but what if I wasn’t?  Lost in a sea of black, green, grey, and white… I still see you.  Congratulations.  Why do things happen this way?  I hope I could make you smile… if not, I understand.  You take no-one’s shit; I let all the blame be placed on me.  My paled red lips hidden with my head bowed low.  They want to talk to you about other things.  Not just superficial things.  I guess now’s the time to wait and see.  There’s still time.  There’s still time for smiles, colours, and whatever else may come.  I’m no determinist or fatalist, so I’m challenging my free will now.  I’m not going to wait for the world to happen.  I’ll still be here in my shadows, but not as silent as before.  Meet me halfway there?
They can pollute us with their lies, but we know better than to listen. I believe the term is "teenage innocence."

After reading the other comments I feel like I should say something really deep and important right now...
But nothing comes to mind. Go figure. XD

Again, you have the most insane way with words...I like how it sort of changes moods...moving from kind of subdued to really defiant....lovely.
