Writings

How to be alone

It feels like everones talking about me

isolating me

shutting me out


It feels like no one cares

Leaves me to die

to fend for my own


It feels like people turn a blind eye

scoff in my face

spit at my feet


It feels like no one wants to be my friend

like no one wants to listen

or have fun anymore


Hey but at least now

I know

How to be alone


I know how to sit in silence

I know how to make friend...

They Say They Know Us

Do you know the feeling of being pitied?

Do you know the feeling of being left behind?

Do you know the feeling of hearing whispers?

Do you know the feeling of searching eyes?


They say they know us

They say they hate us

They say that weā€™re weird

They say that they wish we died


Sure, I have mental problems

And that makes me different

But who are you to judge

Just because Iā€™m not on the mean?


Yo...

Canā€™t Think Of A Title

**_The me I dreamt of becoming is an old friendā€¦

The me Iā€™m becoming, Iā€™m less familiar withā€¦_**...

From Problems to Solutions

I get so weirdly obsessed over certain things

That trap me in my mind like Rapunzelā€™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...

En Y Pense

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,

ā€˜Please restā€™


A smiled returned,

Fear overturned.

Calmness restored,

This relief flawed.

Love you R

My Traits

I have many good traits

To the point some people think im perfect

But im human

I have horrible, disgusting traits too


Iā€™ll talk about the good ones first

Iā€™m pretty popular

Iā€™m the best striker in my league

And Iā€™m very artistic


But thereā€™s also the other ones

The ones i try to ignore

While they scrape at my soul

The meds donā€™t help


Some of the ā€œbadā€ traits are:

I hate myself

I think im fat

I...

you are

The boiled down

curdles of my heart

ready to be molded

Into something youā€™re not.

The fox in my sheets

The succubus on my shoulder

Thereā€™s nothing left to lose

If Iā€™ve lost it all already....

Sliver

Afraid

Of giving everything

And ending with

Nothing.


Afraid

Of longing profusely

Only to experience

Nothing.


Hopeful

I will have

Courage and experience

Something.


Hopeful

Surrendering my everything

Will lead to

Something....

wrong person

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 weā€™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


a...

Soft

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 thatā€™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

I gi...
