She’s been chained-
for how long? i can’t remember
she watches couple after couple
walk down each street
she’s happy for them
but she wants love too
last time went wrong
the last time was terrible
heartache after heartache
she watches her friends fall
while she’s alone
she’s been chained to nothing
for too too long
there is no key to the lock on her heart
she’s chained to nothing

“quite the craptastic sister” they say. mocking my mistake, joking with me.
joy lies in their eyes, glittering in the dim light.
they don’t see the pain they inflict. conceal. conceal. conceal.
“i’m disappointed” he said.
the conversation ended. i lightened the mood.
i’m fine. i’m fine. i’m fine.
“you don’t care enough to fix the heart you broke “
a song accuses me of exactly what i’v...
My boyfriend has left me to go somewhere else with an overthinking mind. My best friend has left me for a dinner with a heavy heart. My brother has left me for screens with too many scars. My parents have left me hurt and untrusting with their expectations.
You know sometimes I think they may be doing this on purpose.
My boyfriend left because he can’t deal with my sadness and his own. My best...
“Maya, please, don’t do this. Put down the knife. Please”
Should I listen to him? Does he really care?
“Don’t pretend to care. You did this with Catalina too. Don’t pretend like you care about what happens to me.”
“Put. Down. The. Knife.”
“Why? Tell me why. Why should I stay in this cruel world where i have no one? Why should i stay in a world of pain and sorrow when I could go home?”
“Becaus...
I walked down the road as casually as I could manage. My anxiety was rampaging through my head as each person brushed past me.
There are too many of them. Too many, too many, too many.
I was diagnosed with social anxiety when i was only little. Now it has heightened and become worse.
The only person I talk to is my boyfriend because he understand why i am the way i am. My mother doesn’t know....
I was hanging onto the rail of the ship for my life. Below me was the frothing water of the Cardina Sea, and below the surface, there was a monster.
I had only been trying to get away from the monsters on the ship. And now either I could let go and face the monster below or climb up and face the monsters above.
Either I fall to certain death or climb to the crew of malicious pirates above.

I sit still. I’m always still.
I watch as the waves move in and out.
In.
Out.
Like a steady breath.
The leaves above me change from green to yellow to orange to red before falling off their perch. They rot by my feet as the winter winds bristle by me.
Wicked cold and winter storm with crashing waves.
When it’s quiet, you can hear the crickets sing with the waves.
In, chirp.
