Dreamer. Writer. Doer.
I'm on the bathroom floor. Naked, shower water dripping off me. A black towel limp on my shoulders. There is a hallow, pulling ache within my chest. I feel a desperate loneliness. A longing for a friend, a comforter that I used to have. Part of me believes that he is a fiction of my imagination. He used to be my best friend and lover. On empty, lonely nights like this one I could call to him. I could talk to him deeply. Like none other, He would wrap his arms around me and comfort me. Peace. Now he is gone. I've shoved him out of my life. I feel like he is a fairytale that I thought up as a child. Now, that fairytale has disappeared. I'm facing the cold world on my own, unwilling to believe in that fairytale again, Yet so convinced it's the only way. Alone.

Fairytale
How am I supposed to write right now? How am I supposed to speak, when I don’t even know what I feel. I’m afraid to write. Because I’m afraid to fail. But what am I afraid to fail about? I’m trying to help myself. I’m trying to write to tell myself what I feel. I’m afraid to feel. I’m afraid to be real. I’m afraid that I will be rejected. I simply want someone to hold me. help me. save me. But I’m afraid to reach out. Because I’m afraid of rejection. I’m afraid of mockery, and misunderstanding. I’m tired of being different. I’m tired of sticking out. Can I just drink and **** like everyone else? I don’t want to be a holy christian, but I don’t want to be a crazy sinner, but I don’t feel like I can be anyone in between. I don’t know who I am. I don’t how how to think. **** me. Please, simply numb me.

Foggy Confusion
Walk up to a table with a smile on my face, "How are you?" My hand mechanically scribes their order. My spirit isn't present. My mind is cloudy and stormy but nothing is moving, no thunder yet. I push my finger against the lemonade button. My mind begins to shake, Wind from the east begins to push in, And the buckets of rain begin to weld up. I try and keep the flood gates of my eyes strong,  but the ghostly rain pushes and pushes.  The wind captures my breath and my body begins to shake... gasping for air. The storm and pounding rain that will cause the green lushis grass to grow has begun

Healing Panic
There is a tune I love to dance to Its inside my head No one gave it to me No one has ever heard it, Except for me You see,  I was born with it It is the thing that puts the spark in my eye The spring in my step The laugh in my voice It is my job to share this song with the world.... For only I can share it But there is a catch. I cannot sing it. I must simply show it.

my tricky little tune
There is a strange pain inside, Or some type of emotion. I don't really want to feel it But on the other hand I do I'm not sure what to call it It isn't one of the few emotional friends that used to visit me late at night Those were more violent More sad More depressed This one is sorta calm Yet sorta hurtful Sorta lost There is a weird comfort in this one I can almost get lost in it. And don't really want to let it go I must look ridiculous Sitting in the shower, Naked, With towel on my head, The shower door open 137 at night, Or in the morning, Or whatever What am I doing here? I want to hold onto this moment Get lost in the emotion Make him, Or her, Or whatever this is, My dear and close friend Stay Maybe it will help me to change, Find myself again Or maybe it will help me get lost in this weird mess of a life And I won't have to figure out anything... Or come back again.

a strange emotion
I don't want u to touch me, I don't want u to come near me. If u want me, You will have to earn me. I won't listen to words, So tired of sweet talk Show me u want more Than to know my ***** Show me that u want to know me How I think What I feel What I dream about at night Or better yet during the day Yes, you can have *** and still learn these things about me But I've had so much *** Been hurt Haven't let anyone in I'm not sure if a man can love me for other than my body He hasn't proven that to me I need you to show me first First that you want me for more than my ***** *** and ***** Show me that you care That you will listen to me That you will dream with me That you will run along side of me And then you can have all of me

You first have to earn me
These words that I am about to write, they aren’t for you. They are for me, For me to remember my mistakes with you, So that I can spare myself repeated pain. You are a myth, a myth that I believed in. When I saw you, first started talking to you, I was drawn towards you. You were strong, in build and in character. You were different, and there was something that pulled me to you. I began to drink you in, enjoying the taste of your presents. I was looking for a place to belong. A man to call my own. A man to call me his own. But out of insecurity, I ran quickly to you Before knowing who you are, Before realizing that you aren’t the type of man that I desire. You possessed a quality, something within you that I was blind to, that I didn’t want to believe. Know that I don’t completely blame you. Much of our friction, Many of the mistakes was due to me. I was the one that pushed you away, because I was insecure and scared. But it makes me mourn the type of man you are. From the start, we talked about *** We were drawn towards each other’s bodies. We planned on ******* from the start. But what if we waited? You said why? I wanted it to be special. But you said we would click, so why wait…. But I had done this before. I had ****** with so many men from the start. I was worn from giving myself physically, only to be drained emotionally. I wanted this to be different. I only wanted to feel your touch when I knew you cared. But I was weak… I was needy And had no respect for myself. So once again, I dropped my clothes, and bent over for another man... From the start, you were rough. ********** was your game. For pleasure, You had to control. After a few hard ***** and a few dates, you looked at me and said you liked me, a lot. But what would have happened if I told you I wanted to wait? If I wanted to stop ******* Would you have? What if I told you I didn’t want it rough, That I didn’t want to be your **** Emotionally, I wasn’t okay. In order for it to be okay, I needed to be secure in myself, And not quickly settle, And give myself away. I ran from you. Then came back. Then pushed away. Then came back. Repeat. Repeat. I came back one more time, Telling myself I just wanted to **** But I really wanted your love. This was the only way I knew how to try and get you back. Why did I try again? Because I was drawn to you. I might have been able to love you. Yes, this game was unfair. I was playing means games. I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the way that I treated you. But, I want you to know, I want myself to know, that the way you treated me, when we were dating and when we were just friends, wasn’t okay. The last time I saw you, We becomes drunk. You threw me down. I let you tie my hands And bend me over. I was still trying to earn your love. It was all so ****** up. I was such a hurting fool. To you, I was just a thing for you to **** I was your animal. And you were my master. You hit me until I cried out, And kept going. You wouldn’t stop until you were satisfied. To you, it was just a game. To me, I tried to pretend. You didn’t stop there. After you ****** me, you tossed me aside. I was no longer good enough for you. You demand to have two girls to dominate. By myself, I’m was no good. From the start, you just wanted someone you could **** someone you could call your *** slave. You called me a **** from the start. At the end you said Obey me, or never come back again. I shouldn’t have been with you from the start. But I wanted you…. I don’t blame you for all of this. I have simply come to understand the truth, And let myself see the man that you are, And the woman that I was…. You took advantage of me. You abused me. In no way did you protect me. I don’t think that you are a real man. I abused your feelings from the start. I played games. I was insecure and didn’t respect myself. Why should you respect me? I blame myself for coming back to you. For believing in this myth. For believe loved could be formed by giving myself to you without you earning my body. It is too late for me to change the past, to erase our relationship. But it isn’t too late for me to see that I don’t have to fall in love with this myth again, That I don’t want to be that girl again. Don’t leave my memory. I need to remember what kind of man you are And what type of girl I was. I need to remember this myth, So that I will never believe in it again. I deserve a man, a man who will love and cherish me, Who will protect me when I can’t protect myself. I want to be a strong confident woman, for me, Not for any man. I only want to give myself to someone out of desire, not out of insecurity or desperate emotions. I forgive myself for abusing our relationship. I forgive myself for letting you in. And I forgive you. But I will not forget what you did to me. Because I never want to return to that hell again. I am a treasure. I am worthy of respect and love. And it has to start here.

This drug, It's destroying me It's wrecking my life to the point where I can hardly breathe It's hard to stand It's hard to make it through the day Without this drug Its hold is getting stronger and stronger When I'm depressed, I run to it When I am weak, I cling to it. What does it do? It helps me for a second... for a minutes It helps me to forget the pain that I am in... momentarily. The doses are becoming larger the tolerance becoming stronger My body shakes for it Yearns for it Dreams about it This drug numbs the pain of my reality But this drug is causing more pain in my reality ....the little reality that I know.... Maybe I am being overly dramatic Maybe I just like to draw a show to myself But I think I am really trapped If I don't push this drug away, If I don't lay it down now, There may be no turning back With every ounce of my strength With the little will power left in my body I push this drug away I am not sure how I will make it through the day I am not sure how I will deal with my reality But I can't let this drug consume me any longer If I let it win, Only one thing can happen And that is death... I am not ready for that, Not yet Because there is still a small flicker of life stirring in my bones....

My mind needs to focus on the task at hand, But its drifting away to another place. That place is you. Yes you. I thought frequently about you throughout the day. Thoughts of you brought feelings of peace, rest, safety. I am not sure why. I think it is because you accept me for who I am. You forgive me for my mistakes. And you like me for me. That makes me feel safe. That makes me feel calm. So, I want you to know, for some reason you are special to me. I don’t claim you. I won’t try to control or cling to you. I won’t call you mine until you chose to be. I will simply enjoy your presents… but this will be hard for me. As you know, I love to control. I want control over my path, over my future, over the relationships I have. I don’t like the idea of being hurt, or not knowing how the path will end. I want to make you love me. But I can’t. And I won’t. True love doesn’t come out of force. It comes from a bond, a deep bond of two souls. So, my dear, let this relationship be what it will be. but know this: I care for thee.

You
Good girl, good girl he says as long as I obey. Yesterday, I was strong. I didn't let him order me around... But his sweetness poisoned my mind. I couldn't think straight. I wanted his love. I wanted him. Bit by bit he whittled me down. Bit by bit I let my standards slip. I began to send him pictures... pictures with his name on me. I began to see myself, my body, as his possession. One minute he would say sweet things. He would tell me I was beautiful, no gorgeous. I was his girl. The next minute, he was angry, because I wouldn't do as he said. I felt pain. I didn't want to make him mad. But I didn't want to do as he said. When I resisted, he went away. I couldn't have that. I was poisoned by his loved. So, each time, I went a little further... Part of me still fought...but not for long. I kept freaking out on him. I kept pushing him away. But I was so drunk on him, that I always came crawling back. I begged him to forgive me, and then...I offered myself up to him. He could do whatever he wanted to my body. He could let anyone **** it. He said I was wonderful. He said I was beautiful. But now I know he just wanted control. He wanted a slave. Now when I look in the mirror, I don't see beauty, I see a toy for a man's pleasure. I've pushed him away for the last time. I can't live with him, but my heart is having a hard time living without him. My mind is still drunk over him. Hopefully, I will forget these scars someday... Someday, I might even respect myself again...
