help
today i asked for help.
after years of crying.
after years of screaming.
after years of self medicating.
after years of damage.
after years of feeling worthless.
today i asked for help.
and today, i start fresh.
tomorrow i won’t need to ask for help.

inner fears.
you hurt me so bad
yet i’m still so scared of losing you
every time you aren’t there
i remember what you told me
and i think this can’t be how it ends
but we are stubborn
too stubborn to fix things
so we will just stay here in pain
and i will try to forget
but i will always have that fear
that you won’t be here
yet i’m still so scared of losing you
every time you aren’t there
i remember what you told me
and i think this can’t be how it ends
but we are stubborn
too stubborn to fix things
so we will just stay here in pain
and i will try to forget
but i will always have that fear
that you won’t be here

holding on
i don’t give up on people easily
so giving up on you it meant you really fucked up
i don’t give up easy at all
i hang on when it hurts
i hold on even when it causes more pain than happiness
i held on to you while you held on to her tightly and let go of me with no hesitation
i held on to you when you let go of her and the next one and the next one
but soon the pain became too unbearable and with every tear that fell my grip loosened
until i forced myself to let go of you entirely
until you became just another stranger i know all too well
so giving up on you it meant you really fucked up
i don’t give up easy at all
i hang on when it hurts
i hold on even when it causes more pain than happiness
i held on to you while you held on to her tightly and let go of me with no hesitation
i held on to you when you let go of her and the next one and the next one
but soon the pain became too unbearable and with every tear that fell my grip loosened
until i forced myself to let go of you entirely
until you became just another stranger i know all too well

it wasn’t my choice
it wasn’t my choice.
one day you just decided we were fine.
after what felt like years everything just went away
you decided nothing happened therefore i couldn’t be upset.
but the thing is: you decided this for me.
i was fine not talking to you.
i was in the best place mentally i had been in a long time without you.
i was just getting over you.
i was putting myself back together from the broken pieces.
i wasn’t ready to forgive you yet let alone have you come barreling back into my life.
it still hurts to talk to you and hear you...

our kind of love
i liked you. it wasn’t anything special. it was a crush. i had worse and i will have worse. the reason you were the hardest to get over was what came after the like. after the heartbreak. after all the pain i went through that was over you. i slowly realized i didn’t like you anymore but instead the like had turned into hatred and resentment. that was when i was forced to realize i loved you. not in a childish crush way and not in a romantic way. i loved you as a friend and you made my days easier. i cared for you the same way i do for my best friends. the same best friends who hate it when i...

violence
i am days short of 16 years old. i am a sophomore in high school. i was raised an only child by my 2 parents who had me young. they obviously sheltered me from violence as much as they could but everything else was fair game. they were accepting of who i wanted to be and what i wanted to do with my life even when i wanted to be a ballerina chef astronaut (at the same time). i was the 3 year old singing rent and watching friends and to this day i still do both of those things. but there’s something different about these two people even tho they have the same personalities. the 3 year old...
