There is hurt here, that can't always be fixed by bandaids or poetry
I want to be mad I want to be mad but I can’t be mad because it’s not your fault that your life is moving faster than mine I want to be mad but I can’t because every time I almost get mad and I almost yell and I almost throw something I’m sad I’m sad and then it’s hard to move and it’s too hard to yell and it’s hard to do anything but cry I’m sad because you’re beautiful and I love you and you love me but soon you won’t be mine to love anymore And that hurts more than it angers me I still feel like if I love you hard enough then you won’t leave Even though it’s not true And when I remember that you’re leaving anyways I try so **** hard to feel angry so that I don’t have to feel sad I’m still sad I’m still so sad So sad that it’s hard to eat So sad that if I laugh it makes me cry So sad that it gets hard to breathe And if only my ******* stove worked I could make some tea with honey and calm down And if only I could close out my computer tabs so I wouldn’t have to look at the  birthday presents I can’t get you And if only you weren’t leaving me I wouldn’t have to wish I was angry just so I don’t have to be so, so sad

So Sad
Girls my height are supposed to be petite Skinny and proportional When I would read seventeen magazine and they would show the best outfits for your body type Mine was never on there Not big enough to be curvy Curvy girls in magazines were curvy all over and average height The petite girl wasn't supposed to have curves at all The petite girl was thin The petite girl could wear anything Why can't short girls have ******* Because when we do, we're a fetish And for some reason, when you fit a fetish people assume you're there for them. "I like short girls because you can pick them up when you **** "Short girls don't have to get on their knees." "Can you **** my **** standing up?" "A C cup on a short girl is like a DD on a normal girl.” “I like ******* short girls because I can really take control.” My mom always criticized me for wanting to dress slutty And it broke my heart because I never wanted to look slutty I just wanted to wear what my skinny friends could wear *And sometimes it's hard when you can't find high waisted shorts that cover your *** all the time, even right after you stand up from sitting in the car for 30 minutes and they rode up a little, but a little on you is a lot because you don't have a flat *** like all of your friends do, but you can't go a size up because then they're too big and they still don't give you the coverage that at first your mom wanted for you but that you now want yourself because you can feel the heat of people staring because girls like you shouldn't wear those kinds of shorts, and at parties they think it's okay to touch if it's not covered, and you've been in this H&M for 3 hours and nothing fits you like it does that tall, pretty girl with the A cups in the fitting room next to yours,* But how could my mom know that At 5 ft 4, she weighed 98 lbs on her wedding day You can wear anything when you look like that

I can feel your soul when I'm close to you It gives off a comforting kind of warmth It's soft and yellow, like candlelight It flickers from your chest to mine When you have your arms around me And you make me feel so safe and in love When your soul flickers into mine I am ignited and I can feel you in me And I give off a comforting kind of warmth It's soft and yellow, like candlelight

He's better than I am. Kinder, wiser, much more patient... It's the patience and kindness that I can't help but envy I'm so quick to judge. Others must earn my kindness. He's one of the rare and beautiful souls that will leave the world better than he found it It's in his nature to plant seeds in every footstep, While others trample life beneath them. He's the Greek goddess who was so lovely that flowers sprung up wherever she went. But he's different. He's beautiful on the inside He leaves something substantial in his path. Flowers are pretty and fleeting, but he plants oak trees behind him. The trees he leaves thrive for centuries, they grow tall and strong and beautiful Generations upon generations see his trees and they love them He will leave forests in his wake and maybe no one will know that these forests are his... But that's not why he leaves them. Planting seeds in his footsteps is in his nature and I believe that's why I might love him.

The First of His Kindness
I may be broken And at some times I feel hollow I don't love myself The way that I should So I'm told But I love you More that I thought I could love anything You wake up some thing Inside of me I thought Was long gone I feel emotions That I forgot about Ones that make me smile You gave me hope and Reasons to enjoy my life I forgot about I want to do Everything in my power To make sure that you See how beautiful that You really are the way I never did You lift me above My sins I have committed To myself and my body And to those who care About me and even God himself You pulled me out Of the pit of darkness Filled with the demons That lived inside me Filling my head with Vicious truths I can't thank you Enough for what you've Done for my well-being You showed me the light And the love that comes With your help

A Thank You To Someone From The Past
I sit in the pews And I read your gospel Of pretty things that you say Things that make me okay Things that lift me up This word of God of sorts That divides my soul in half Tearing the black, tar-like mess That is myself from it and Condemning the demons within To Hell where they came from Leaving behind a clean, pure White slate that's just waiting To be filled with your love The love you blessed me with The love I don't deserve but So willingly take because of The way you say my name And make me feel whole again A feeling that seemed so gone So long gone that I lost my will And it became a downhill battle Slowly but sure surely Burning my demons with the Light of your love that I am able To accept and hold strong to Without your blessings and Unconditional love that seems To be unheard of I couldn't have Overcome what I have overcome And it's it your Old Testament That rewrites my New Testament Saving it from the flames of hell That devour the voices in my head The ones that's scream "You're not good enough" "You don't deserve him" "*You'll **** the ones you love Along with yourself Create distance before it is too Late for all of you*" "*Maybe hurting yourself will give You the control that you can't find*" You lifted my crucified heart From its grave that it laid dead In for much longer than 3 days And you removed the nails And saved it from the devil Known as self hatred You held my hands in prayer And through your hands Flowed love and freedom From myself that I needed You made self love an option And by looking at you I just know that Your smile is my church

Writing about something you love is supposed to be easy But he is composed of words that I am convinced don't exist yet

This is unhealthy, isn't it? Depending on you like this... I can't help it, though. You save me over and over and over And I know you must be tired By now, who wouldn't be. I try, I really do try... But after ruthlessly trying, Over and over and over, I have to come back to you, Crawling on my hands and knees, Scraped, bruised, and bleeding. I can only live through so many Kicks to the head And I'm sorry, so so sorry That I lack the strength to end it So I wont have to live through so many Kicks to the head And so that you'll never have to save me again

Forgive Me (10w)
Don't try to save me I'll only pull you down to hell with me I'm toxic Don't let me contaminate you, too Because I'll fall for you Every time I can't stay away, I love you But you, You can get your distance So please, please I'm begging you to leave me Sure, it'll break me But I'm already broken, aren't I? So really, What's the harm in saving yourself?
