How do you begin to describe your feelings of loneliness and your mental seclusion from the world when your surrounding world only sees the built facade of belonging.

I don’t know if therapy legitimately helped me stand tall or just get better at covering up the moments when I mentally fall.

All it took was one look from me and you would have bent over backwards so easily. I took advantage of the love you had because I needed to fill a void so bad. It’s true you knew how I felt for I wasn’t fooling anyone but I still feel guilty for everything I have done. I can see that you try and try and try but this time you will have to tell me goodbye. I will stop you from coming back and begging for more because I need you to move on and realize you don’t deserve this unreciprocated love anymore.

.civil war.
Take the tear soaked dirt from around your knees And mark your face to prepare for war Because the battle for your life is about to charge you like never before. You will stand face to face with the darkest of demons as they screech in your ears that you’re worth is zero Your feelings are inadmissible and No one loves you enough to be your hero. These evil belligerents will be the effects of the most damaging kind of rejection the most destructive criticism of your reflection the most vile act of a man’s unwanted ******** Yet your future is proof that even with a trembling body and labored breath even with a soul draped with trauma you are more fierce than the call for death. You will make it through every battle You will end the raging war within You will experience the sweetest kind of love and you will rediscover an authentic grin. Just because you made it through doesn’t mean all fights are over But, you will think back to this time and know how to allow your strength to takeover. You can do hard things.

The Demons are back again, Haunting me with darkness, Painting me with insanity, Those sick little artists. It's all my fault, All the years of failure And the neglect to cure this disorder, That controls me. The sadness consumes me, The water is getting higher, I can't breath, I'm drowning In everything that becomes of me. My mind bubbles with regret And burns in pain For ignoring this illness That makes me insane. My heart beats slowly As it frowns in silence, My blood rushes around in heavy violence. My body shakes And I'm short on breath. I'm becoming attacked by this panic And I become a mess. It's maniac ways Every days the same. It's calm and it's crazy And I'm always fighting to stay Sane.

Looking out over a Mountain View was my idea of escaping. But my feelings of inadequacy, my shortage of happiness, and my lack of love only grew. It wasn’t an escape. It was emotional poverty with a view.

I cleansed the knife you stabbed in my back and cauterized my bleeding wounds with it.

Im not sober tonight laying alone in my bed. Because I’m drunk on the memories of what we were and overdosing on the thoughts of what we will never be.

My mirror reflects someone I don’t recognize but I love her and I respect her more and more everyday.
