You thought it was just a hug And an I love you But I was saying goodbye Just in a different language A language that speaks two things at once I love you and goodbye You hurt my heart when you left me for her She got put on a pedestal and I got pushed to the side My feet have never graced this pedestal, and for that I'm a little happy Because the pain of being pushed off it to make room for someone else would be agonizing I hope you're happy I hope it works out Because you have lost me as your best friend and there is no going back.

I am the Grass Friend
Sometimes it feels safer to stay where you know the eggshells are because, well, at least you know where they are And if you line your ducks up just right You might make it out the door and onto the other side for a little while And some days the other side seems like a place where I may not have to tip toe anymore But on others the other side is most likely riddled with invisible eggshells What if they're sharper than the ones I've become used to, what if I ****** up my feet irreparably? What if, what if what if ****** or not I'm taking off running💜

Schrödinger's Eggshells
There's a special place in my heart for people like you The one that makes me not trust genuinely nice people The one that makes me feel like I will never be good enough The one that makes me feel undeserving of love

You called me **** drunk again and asked me if I ever thought maybe I'd died and this was the afterlife I said no Not because I was done with your "pseudo-deep" questions and theories Like you telling me how hard it is to be an empath after you got done ******** on me But because I didn't want to tell you what I really thought If there is an afterlife, you'd think it'd be kind of fair at least. I've done nothing to deserve this level of hell. The level of hell you cornered me into.

Knock knock, Is anybody home? Yes, but the doors are locked and the curtains are drawn You beg me to unlock a window, a door, anything I've begged myself too Racked my brain trying to remember how I last found my way to you, bloodied my hands attempting to break my way through I can just never seem to find a doorway when I most need it I promise I will let you in when I do And I hope you understand this is just as painful and frustrating for me as it is for you I love you💜 I pray you can see it💜

to all of my people
I want to be chosen Not by default I don't want to be your only option Because it makes me feel like you love me less for who I am And more for the empty space I fill in your heart I don't trust that I am your top choice Honestly you've proven to me many times that I'm not, I just refused to admit it But now I will. I choose myself. I don't need you to.

after 6 years of wondering if I'm good enough for someone else, I'm released.
Maybe I can be the girl you want me to be If I always get a chance to fall asleep after you so I get a chance to cry and comfort myself if I need to If you look away long enough for me to sneak a chill pill If you can accept my tenseness because I'm too afraid to shake in front of you If you can take me slowly changing, losing my kindness and softness To cater to your calloused heart And probably, all of this would still not be enough

Are you the enemy Dressed in sheep's clothing Or just a scared sheep baring its teeth That my eyes mistook for a wolf I don't know I don't know

Dear, Do you even know who I am? Did you even really care to find out or just need a companion? Dear, Do you even know who he is? Did you even really care to find out or just need a companion?

Dearests
I've never felt such a great depression and oddly, a calm acceptance in my life. I won't bring children here if they are bound to be the same. Suffer the same. How could I know for sure this will be their fate? But, also, if I truly love them, how could I even risk it? I never imagined life without raising a family But I refuse to make little souls suffer for my dream. Excuse my French, but **** you anxiety.
