They say that time heals the worst of wounds, but I've never found this to be true
Because I know they have never lost someone like you.
How could anyone let go of you and your grace?
How could anyone not smile when they look at your face?
I think about the times we spent together, both good and bad
I know deep in my heart that you were the best I ever had.
"Just let him go"
That's all they'd say...
A pressure to be perfect.
Looks don’t matter.
Feelings dont matter.
The satisfaction of getting an opportunity.
If I cant be like you, im a faliure.
Getting a B, is like losing a part of me.
I’ve failed.
Getting a 90%?
Not good enough.
Why cant I be like my brother.
I wish grownups understood.
I wish I could enjoy my life.
All I have to worry about is getting good grades.
Seems like an impossible...
Days go by and not one is about you. The way you would press your hand against mine ever so gently yet so pitifully, oh I how I wish for it to never had happened. Forgetting is tough but so is forgiveness always so fast to play the victim yet always so slow to see to see how I felt. Oh how the days so slowly fall to the ground like the petals off of a dying rose knowing it was gonna end yet I stil...
I’m
Tired
Of holding on to something that’s destroying me
It’s time to let my pride go and set me free
I don’t wanna wait another
Day
I’ve waited long enough
I can finally see the sun coming up
I’ve been in the shadows for too long
I’m grateful God showed me the light
I’ve been distant my whole
But I’m
Done
Running from you
Spent my whole life in these chains
Afraid
Of who I’d be wi...
I’ve given up
I’ve had enough I try break just end up
In the same place I was last month
Like
Like a ringtone on repeat
These drugs got me in a hot a seat
Mixing laced pills with spiked drinks
Twisted tea mixed with morphine
It’s same cycle
I break free just too repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Party with my demons in the backseat
This cycle is a endless repeat
Repea...
Sleeping in until 11.
Falling asleep for two hours in a loud room.
Drifting off,
Slumping down,
Sinking away,
away,
away.
I’m just so _tired_.
Tired of being awake, yes.
But also tired of putting on this ridiculous facade that “I’m fine.”
Tired of dancing in a never ending masquerade of so called “happiness.”
Tired of convincing mysel...
I’m giving up
and maybe there’s hope in that.
That i’ve done all i can here
I’ve failed
And that’s freeing
No longer perfect
no longer the best
I can do what i do without expectations of grandeur
I’ve failed
Finally
This was all i’ve got
I guess i’m all done
I’m giving up
And maybe there’s hope in that
Because now that i’ve passed
What else can bloom?...
I fell for you
Your eyes
Your lips
Your body
Your sent
Your soul
Your heart
I fell for you
Your lies
The pain you caused
I fell for you once
Then many times over
Kept believing it would get better
You would change
I kept going back
Knowing my love for you never stopped
Knowing it was deeper than seas
Deeper than the forest
But you always left
After I knew it was over
I knew it w...
Mum.
why couldn’t you have been the mum I needed.
Why couldn’t have you loved and cared for me like one mothers should.
Instead I am getting the love you never gave me from another person mother. Im getting the care and kindness and the teachings of how to deal with boys and how to do my makeup and when my mental health is bad that I can talk about it and get help.
You only taught me one thing i...
