Dear Mira,
Was it worth it?
I hope it helped to tear me down.
I hope that was good for you.
Was it worth making me look stupid to make yourself feel better?
Was it worth it when you walked in on me sobbing on the phone to my dad?
It wasn’t that bad, right? You’re good to me…until you’re not.
Hey, it’s okay. I get it, you’re insecure because while I spend hours on end in the library, you’re wa...
Trigger Warning: ED?
I starved myself for a year.
I picked through school lunches so it seemed like I ate.
I got used to the growling of my stomach as if it were white noise.
My mom jokingly called me anorexic and praised me for being thinner in the same breath so sometimes I wonder:
Would they have realized I was sick if I were already thin to begin with?
I never liked water, so I can't s...
We’re friends
I think
I hope
I dream
You said to me
I could tell you anything
There was never a wrong time
But did you mean these words
Or are they simply a joke
To be honest
I like you
But just as a friend
And yet the idea that you might not want me
Hurts like I love you as more
I don’t, I can’t, I won’t
You and me
D and M
Aren’t something that should exist
I write stories

“Hey civilian is it worth it?
The pain and all the hell you go through?
Is it worth rucking miles carting a heavy backpack?
Is it worth it almost dying in a gas room?
Is it worth the amount of reps you have to do?
Is it worth it to pick up a gun and fight as soldiers do?
Is it worth it to go above the average soldier
To jump out of planes
To travel through a forest with a map and a co...
Was it worth it?
Making me feel like sh*t?
Do you even know?
You probably don't care though
You'll play it off
Like my feelings are a bothersome cough
If I make you aware
You'll never care
I'm ignored
Then "adored"
We're alright
Then she comes into sight
And it's like you don't know me
I'm erased from your memory
You treat her like she's Britney Spears
And I'm not here
I think she hates ...
My heart is like a ping pong ball
Should I run or should I fall?
Running might be for the best
But falling gets weight off my chest
I’ve liked you on and off for years
But you’ve caused me dozens of tears
So just let me know by the end of the day
If I should go for it or stay away
I guess I’ll fall—unless it ends in shit
So please, tell me… was it worth it?...
Hi
I’m sorry if I
Got the wrong
Impression
I don’t know
What to think
Right now
Hi
I can’t tell
What we are
If we’re just
Friends
Or something
More
Hi
Will this
Upset you
If I ask if we’re
Together
Or I we’re simply
Something
Hi
Or would you rather
Me say
Bye
Which would you
Prefer
I don’t know
Hi
Tell me please
Was this
Worth it to you
Was I
Worth it
To you...
The tethers were all broken,
In favour of bonds anew,
The journey first of many,
That ended with only you.
The chances spared in vain,
And the bodies along the way,
All to make it to the top,
And become the main display.
Now you have it all,
But does the moment finally hit,
When all is said and done,
Do you wonder was it worth it?...
