20/M This is more of a journal for me
It takes 1,000 words To keep a secret The world was supposed to be perfect When I was with you My life shattered around me While I held your image together I was your final step The last tool you needed to complete yourself I blamed myself for never Being assertive enough But what if I wasnt man enough I didnt want to be hospitilized Like the others or worse be left alive Continued to be tomrmented everyday by those I trusted While you sat on that bus lying to me

One Lie
Why does it still hurt To hear your name I see your now active online again Yet you spent the extra time to make sure I know we aren’t family anymore Why does it hurt To see you hanging up lights Outside your apartment Why do I want to apologize When there’s nothing to apologize for I want you to message me Saying you never meant it Telling me I’m still your son That you still want to hold me Maybe it’s the end I just wish it didn’t have to be

It hurts to trust others
I didn’t know who you were You knew who I was Covered in old wounds that refuse to heal I wish I knew You were slowly picking at them Watching them bleed You were my second mom The one who was supposed to be better I guess I’m supposed to thank you For the year I got to spend in lies Thinking things got better with time But now I know the truth It doesn’t get better So why do we keep fighting for this goal that we never reach I wish I had known I should have known

I didn’t know
I wanted to write you a letter that you may never receive so I could let all the words you need to hear no longer be trapped in my head. It seems all those who have encountered you have the same problem as me. You seem to always stay around when it’s convenient for you. When you leave it feels like something is missing your words become mine the thoughts you planted in my mind never seem to leave. They may be my thoughts perhaps I convinced myself you were the one at fault. Expecting you to apologize or at least say goodbye but every time you leave I’m left holding on to a piece of you waiting to see you again so I can return it. It seems you're always out of reach but close enough to let me know I’m with you. Maybe that is for the best. Shall we keep social distancing or shall we hold each other once again? You showed your true colors, am I willing to accept your faults and let you lie to me again? I know the right choice but it takes courage and energy that I have not obtained. Does that force me to take the wrong one or do I just sit in this limbo forever? This letter may never reach you. If it does please tell me the right choice because it seems I don’t have the answers. Yours truly, Fry

Dear
Isn’t this supposed to be everyone’s favorite time of the year Vibrant red orange and yellow leaves sprinkling the ground and covering the trees Blueish gray skies causing a nice contrast to the leaves Aren’t people are supposed to rake the leaves into a large pile and jump into it preparing for when the piles of snow arrive I was always to afraid to jump into them never knowing what lay below the leaves

Fall
I knew I shouldn’t have gotten attached to you But I did You left me behind so fast Like I was nothing more than a coping mechanism I should have known better But I’ll still sit waiting patiently for the day you need me again

I’ll wait till I’m needed
Picking up a pack of 32 Using it all in less than a week Yet you still thought it was fine To take a break and leave me alone Because you felt to much responsibility I can’t keep blaming you I should have never trusted That you could be the person You promised to be I should have known you would leave
