22/F/California I have never been a talker, only a thinker. Now I have a way to express my feelings/thoughts.
I have learned from a young age that I would attract a certain kind of attention. Prepped for the stares I would receive for being more well endowed in the areas that spark lust in men. From a youthful age sexualized, only sought after for one purpose. One glance and thoughts are shifted to fantasy. Never asked about feelings or emotions, just questioned about how I can satisfied needs. I am only looked at as a fun time never a long time. They all believe that because I look a certain way, that I must have all these men in my bed, and that I am only in their presence for pleasure. My sanity is often questioned, once they realize that I am not a seducer or temptress that falls in to the hands of multiple men. But they also have the mentality to wonder why someone like myself is distant, guarded and closed off. (Looks gone to waste in their eyes, tainted in my own)

My body&looks
I miss you but I do not wish to be with you Maybe to relive my best memories of us is all I wish Knowing we had something special and seeing us vanish was my biggest sorrow Our ending turned spiteful I miss you but I do not wish to be with you Maybe to relive my best memories of us is all I wish

Lying to Myself
I knew from the start when his good morning and goodnight texts never had the word beautiful with heart eyes unlike yours never without Why didn't I notice sooner that I would never fall for him the way I fell for you I should have known when most of our conversations ended with arguments, that he was never the one Unlike yours and mine filled with laughter every minute I should have known when I never smiled at the sight of his name on my phone. . .forced feelings But when your name appeared on my phone my day was filled with undeniable happiness I should have known when he never made me feel special I still remember the paragraph you had once sent me Explaining how I changed your life and how it had no meaning before you met me All I get from him is criticism for every little thing I do wrong in his eyes He would never amount to you, to what we had I doubt anyone ever will I am wrong and only hurting myself trying to find you in others

He's Not You
"I actually feel sorry for you, because I feel like you wanted a relationship with me but couldn't admit it" You were right my love, I regret never opening up to you. I was always to afraid that you would realize I was never truly what you wanted. I did not want to be hurt by someone I cared for so much, but in the end I just hurt the both of us.

you told me you felt sorry for me
I still miss you I still live in the memories of us The wonderful times we shared together linger on the nights I am loneliest But the image of you is starting to fade and I do not know whether to be relived or sadden

I miss you
They tell me the things I crave to hear I'm hesitant every time knowing that it is all ******** I hold back as much as possible, but still give in I am only human Thinking this time will be different, I was wrong I am always wrong Leaving an unfamiliar home mascara stains under my eyes Residue of a wiped off sticky white substance on my chest Lighting my cigarette a habit I had given up months ago Crying because he was the same as all the others even though he stated over and over again he was not, and how he wanted to change my perception of men but he was one of them from the start Inhaling each drag along with a a memory of the ones before They always give so much affection and admiration until they got what they intended when they first laid eyes on you but it is now replaced with cold distant replies They can not all be the problem right? So I guess the problem has always been me

Problems
I write to you often, I have multiple goodbye letters Expressing the the things I was never able to say How I actually started falling for you Saw a future with you, I regret not letting you know that you meant something to me. I also write letters of hate towards you, asking why you chose me, was I a joke to you, did you just want me for lust, was it all a lie. I write you letters on how much I miss you, even though you hurt me I still miss you. I write to you with no intention of ever showing you

Letters
My wrists ache They ache as tears flow from tired eyes My chest hurts It hurts from lack of air, too much air all at once My heart beats the faintness of beats It beats with no purpose My thoughts have been overcome Overcome with sadness I am weak and only becoming weaker There is not enough strength in me to carry on

Three Words
Sadness is nothing new to me I am dealing with depression Emptiness has a home in my chest Negativity has found comfort in my head Both permanent residences I now have a new sadness to welcome This sadness leaves an aching pain in my heart An ache that is refusing to leave Sadness is nothing new to me
