20/F who am i to judge?
i hate you and your stupid expectations the way you make me feel like a liability i'm constantly restrained by your obligations that you're making me feel like i have to live by them when i'm twenty you hate me because i let myself be free i don't let the intrusive thoughts and ocd get to me i can actually be a teenager go out and drink, flirt and find new people then find a good internship and pull an all nighter very next day so **** you for making me feel like i'm smaller than you just because i don't have a monotone schedule or i refuse to live like a tradwife you can't put dirt on me for how i choose to live even my mom and dad don't put any blame on me

**** you, i know my worth.
just a few words i didn't know they would affect me that much some thoughts you had been holding back and a confirmation of how much i changed trying to confirm how i wanted these for years but i don't know if it was the change i needed "you changed- and you know what kind of people i hate" i'll break down inside and go to bed early tonight just a little nod before i put on my headphone i barely hear that you didn't mean to hurt me now i see clearly why you didn't wanna see me and you had been avoiding me even in the room we shared it's fine- i have other friends anyway. i still care for you. but i can't promise tomorrow. good night.

i don't recognize me anymore
i can feel my old friends slipping and i'm becoming more distant to my family in every phone call that we make it's nobody's fault but mine in every flaw exists i know i'm to blame you can't cover it up calling me "whimsical" i'm not pretty enough for my mistakes to be forgiven i cant shake my existential guilt off and i'm acting like a crybaby all the time when my life is perfect and i still lack a backbone

intuition / anxiety
no one haunts me with a scar anymore not even a scratch the moment one of us leaves there is nothing holding me grounded i’m like the jupiter pretty view with no surface to catch your fall never been so free and alive floating in my own mind catching a glimpse of whose passing time to time

i'm not saying i dont't enjoy your company but i will never be 'in love' with you the way you want me to it's nothing you can say to convince or no trauma anyone can fix i had told my lovers before like i've told you that I don't see myself ever being like this the mold just doesn't fit you joked about me being too much like 'summer' but i'll never end up being somebody's wife that's not what i was born for i feel more comfortable when nobody's son is there to occupy my dreams i fear i'll have a panic attack if you say you like me

somebody's wife
someone's stepping on my chest jumping and jumping and jumping heavy and violent like he's trying to send me right into the deep end i've been feeling the heat on my skin since i woke up this morning it's not the weather, it's not the sickness the thought of happiness is so scary i think my nerves are trying to burn me alive i'll pick up the fork and the knife because hopefully my hunger is causing the nausea that hasn't gone away for the last few years. keep the portions small, or i'll excuse myself with a smile to the bathroom. five things i see- but i close my eyes then all i can hear is you. set the door on fire, let the room burn slowly i'll smell the carbon i'll feel the flames i'll taste that bitter copper the blood i can't seem to spit out smoke is filling my lungs there is no room for oxygen. i won't even feel it, i haven't breathed in a while. i'd call my friends but they'll tell me it's just alcohol poisioning. sure, let's talk about basic biology and i'll be thrilled to explain how a glimpse of serotonin triggers all of this adrenaline to kick in.

it's just the chemicals
disco ball with red and purple lights on top of us none of the those kisses were real too drunk for my own good not even remembering your face or remembering which brand you smoked makes me feel so cheap not my love, but my lips i don't wanna be kissed in the dark at the back of a bar like some ***** little secret or at your bedroom and it's four in the morning where we keep quiet not to wake up your parents we were just kids anyway i want to be held in the daylight where i can see the light behind their eyes and the flush of their cheek when you offer me that i will refuse and avoid like i never wanted you in the first place you'll smile like an old friend when i see you around the campus and i will say hi, embarrassingly because i never knew how to reply back i'll never see the sun if i'd rather stay trapped on the dance floor and let a five year old ghost haunt me if i'll let you get close when only i know you can't give me your soul

the fifteenth
i've painted my nails today. tried to keep my hand from shaking so that the paint would fit perfect. it didnt cover up the black polish underneath well. then i put another coat of red the french tip is still showing from the sides. then i went out on my own. had a cup of coffee. im getting bored from the cafe on the corner. same faces i see everyday same people i meet and same ****** taste in my mouth i don't think it's the coffee that tastes bad. i'd rather be somewhere else maybe manhattan maybe brooklyn are they far away from you enough? or should i move into mars to get over you and your boyfriend's perfect little apartment i think you stay in a dorm but that's what i pictured in my head a cozy minimalistic apartment a dog barks happily while your boy laughs and kiss your lips you brew coffee have a little side with that i think you eat now and don't rush to bathroom like you thought me how to i'm not sitting on the bench where you, me and your ex boyfriend sat that summer day i've moved cities not to see that bench even but whenever i'm back in our hometown i take a quick peek at that park i've bought polish remover several times actually but whenever i put it out with a piece cotton i've thrown them away and my hands must be shaking because of all my caffeine intake maybe i'll get a coffee machine for myself. and see if the ****** taste is your laughter or the beans from colombia

second coat
mom, i don’t want to come home on the break. i notice how coldly dad talks to me now— he just says "whatever" and lets me be. i think he’s tired of me. mom, i don’t think my brother likes me anymore. he hasn’t spoken to me much since he had a girlfriend anyway. we used to be best friends. why aren’t you mad that he’s in paris with her, but you throw a fit about me not saving? mom, you and i used to be best friends. now it feels like the times i was anorexic and you threatened to jump off from the eleventh floor. i don't know why things don't go back to normal. i know you love me, but i don’t think you like me anymore. you’re mourning the girl i used to be, but i’ve never felt so me. mom, i feel like i’m slipping away from you and dad. i don’t know how to come back. i heard you shouting in the background when dad called me today. i don’t want you to hate me anymore, when i had just begun to like myself. mom, i’m scared, and i feel so guilty all the time now. i’m sorry you’re working this much. i think you see me as a lost cause. i don’t know what more i am supposed to be doing. i don’t know how to satisfy you. mom, you had wondered why i lost my mind when i stopped talking to my best friend. you tried so hard to deny the weight of it, and i can never tell you the truth— but did you know my girl taught me how to puke? my brother said you’re afraid i’ll throw my life away, but i’ve spent my food money on pilates classes this month. i don’t feel like eating anyway. i swear i’m not smoking and drinking anymore. i’m so scared of losing control again. mom, i’m buying a ticket for next week. can you pick me up from the airport?

i had never been a hater but i hate your new norwegian boyfriend. i hate to think you laying beside him telling about your old life back at the place we grew up. he'll never know the version of you that watched movies til dawn with me. that kissed me soft and slow. i hate that he gets the polished version of you grown up and mature. i hate to think that you found your person when all i get is un-intimate *** with guys i picked up from bars. even when i say that i can't stay mad at you a part of me knows i will never wish you the best. i bet he pronounces your name wrong and he picks you up like you weight nothing and you're dancing in the snow to ed sheeran like we used to did at your back garden. whatever you do whoever you're with just don't tell me if you're back in the city.
