firebug - Hello Poetry

Stop taking others' pain and making it your own. You see they need help and become jealous of their fragility? Make up your own problems and blame them why don't you? Yeah that's exactly what they needed, your blame. This was years ago, it's not about you or them anymore. You're the only one holding on.

I will lock myself in that room for hours. I will turn the light off and wait. I know plausibly that there is nothing that could want to rip my skin from bone in the darkness of my bathroom but I will sit and wait and wonder just in case anything ever could, would, should. Maybe I am just waiting to feel. Maybe I'm just very silly. I am a sad little girl.

All the double edged people and schemes, they make a mess then go home and get clean.

I'd like to begin by thanking you, For you my friend do not quite understand just how important you are to me. I'm overwhelmingly glad I met you that day, As we passed mutual comment over that older boy's idiocy, I cannot imagine my life currently without you in it somehow, So I will leave you with this request: Please don't leave.

I admire you, I really do, The way words flow through you, Almost like you're some form of prophet, Each syllable etching a new crack of brilliant clarity in the timeline of our former hazy days. I admire you, I adore you, Let me keep you.

Perhaps if I did not find myself so repulsive, I could let you love me as you wish you could. Perhaps if you didn't find my uses so appealing, I could love myself as I was always told I should.

So as I sit here and droop my toes over the end of my bed frame, and watch my fish blow orbs to the ceiling, despite the tranquility, I feel myself sinking. Silence is drowning.

the tiredness in their eyes but pretend not to notice God forbid you become entangled in their despair.

Lecture me once more about my inability to see outside of myself. How I'm selfish for trying to be selfless. Write a poem about your inability to see outside of yourself. Convince yourself you aren't as self-centered as the rest of us.
