I get so weirdly obsessed over certain things
That trap me in my mind like Rapunzel’s tower
Constantly overthinking and stressing, it stings
Letting myself get anxious over everything hour after hour
And just being stuck at home, doing pnothing and being bored
Scared of failing, disappointing, and that bad things will occur
Thinking I will be resented, instead of adored
I know I am not really tha...
My overthinking,
Has me sinking.
Into this deep mire,
Sullying my own ire.
Creating slights,
My hurt hitting new hights.
Choking my heart,
Which fails to restart.
Reassurance is needed,
Your support heeded.
Hand on my chest,
‘Please rest’
A smiled returned,
Fear overturned.
Calmness restored,
This relief flawed.

Love you R

I have many good traits
To the point some people think im perfect
But im human
I have horrible, disgusting traits too
I’ll talk about the good ones first
I’m pretty popular
I’m the best striker in my league
And I’m very artistic
But there’s also the other ones
The ones i try to ignore
While they scrape at my soul
The meds don’t help
Some of the “bad” traits are:
I hate myself
I think im fat
I...
snow lands on top
those blonde curls
the mysterious blue eyes
the smile
the laugh
the tear
I wish you were real
I wish I was fictional
they call you mean
they call you rude
they call you thoughtless
or manipulative
but I know
I know that we’re all just human
we are all like that
you were just more unlucky
than the rest
I want to hug you
to hold you tight
to kiss your forehead

Soft
Sensitive is what they call me
But really I am soft
Cozy
I love my bed
All cuddled up
Away from pain
Blankets wrapped tight
Because that’s what you do
With delicate things
Fragile
My cheeks flush and my eyes wander
When I feel too seen
When I try too hard to have a say
To do things my way
I break at the smallest crack
Even though ironically
To feel seen
Is all I want
Warm

Worst personality… hmm…
Let’s find out.
Lay me down.
Cut me open.
Take a look inside.
Let’s see here…
What’s this dark, small thing?
Ah, her heart. I see.
What’s this? It’s… a shadow.
And it’s-
moving.
Put that back.
NO!
Sorry. Didn’t mean to yell.
That’s my demon.
Put them back.
More swarm, piling out.
Bees from a hive-
Spirits from a host.
I scream and writhe.
They’re all the sanity I have...
They all call me weird,
Always alone, it's clear.
Saying I should talk more,
That I don't fit in, it's a chore.
Being introverted isn't a crime,
I just need some peaceful time.
I don't hate people, please believe,
I'm not antisocial, just inclined to receive.
I can be talkative but
I'm not a fan of small talk.
I do have my friends,
You all just don't fit in that category.
How many times I've t...
