20/F/Wisconsin I feel like I’m always at check, waiting on the checkmate.
Laying in bed next to who I love, Crying covering my mouth and nose so he can not hear the sniffles. I don’t want to wake him up to not be able to explain why I am not okay. I also do not want to just cry alone in a different room so I lay there and just try to make sure you do not wake up from my tears. I feel even worst that you woke up for nothing. I might want to be held and be told everything is okay. Even though that is a lie and things won’t get easier sometimes its nice to hear. I’m very overly emotional and It’s hard to contain. I hate trying to stay silent when I’m breaking down but its easier then admitting I don’t know why I’m crying. It is a lot easier then saying my mind has made sure I do not stop crying. I feel like I look like I’m bugging for attention and That’s not it. I just need someone there who is strong enough to just be there and not know with me sometimes.

Silently Breaking
What's the worst type of hurt? Was it your first actual boyfriend? Or Was it your First Love? Was it because they cheated and left you broken, asking why? Could it have been one of your parents? Or a grandparent passing away. Was it an aunt or uncle? Did they do something to you? Was it mental or physical abuse? Could it be that guy you didn't actually date? Was it a ***** teacher or coach? Did someone touch you inappropriately? Was it that best friend? Did they betray your trust? Was it a coworker or boss? Could be it have been that stranger?  Who broke you to the point you thought there was no coming back? Which traumatic event of your life made you relook at life and rethink everything? What happened that makes you overthink every relationship you have? What hurt you the most?

Hurt
It hits at the worst time. The days, you need to sleep. The nights, you can't handle. Overthinking and wondering, How did I get here? What direction do I go? Knowing you'll never know. Crying and begging for sleep. It will come when you don't need it. Insomnia is one ***** Who just haunts you at your worst.

insomnia
Do you ever feel like you are stuck? It hits me at a friends house at 3 am when all I want to do is sleep but it’s so god **** hot and my mind is running. No one is awake and all you want to do is run, run away from all my problems or run towards more problems. But I just sit there stuck because either way there are problems. Why is he still my comfort, why does he make me smile. Why aren’t these the same guy. Why the hell can I not be happy? Why can’t I do this? I feel like I am always at check and just waiting to hear checkmate but it never comes. Every day is different but I feel the same way.

Stuck
I haven't seen you in two years We haven't talked for a year and some months Everything ended so badly I had convinced myself that I was over you But when you saw me, you asked to talk I said Okay Than that phrase, I'm sorry You said I miss you and I still love you My heart melted and I caved We're talking again and I feel happy Part of me thinks I'm making a mistake The other part thinks we might work out

Words
One day That’s all it takes To know who is the one For me, my mind knew from one day My heart didn’t trust my mind at first My body wanted it to be true My heart hoped it wasn’t But a couple more months it knew My heart now hopes he is the one He’s sweet, loving, caring and, gentle And I’m happy He is different then all the other guys And he is mine and I don’t plan on letting go My mind knew what the heart didn’t want to accept

Knowing
I never knew what true love was until I met you When I first saw you I knew that I loved you more than I ever thought I would Most people probably think I'm talking about that one dream guy when in reality I'm talking about my little sister She is the reason why I'm alive I need to stay strong for her and she is 16 years younger than me and has my heart already

True love
Sometimes I feel like I'm too damaged to be loved. If I don't love myself no one will. I just want to fall in love and not overthink it and feel like they will leave over my imperfections. They will run away right when I need them the most. Why am I ever enough? Why will no one help me?

blade
We all have our way of destroying ourselves Some people take a blade to their bodies Others make themselves feel numb with drugs For me, I took my head and lightly hit it against the wall or my nails to my skin till I would bleed
