constantly lonely but never alone.
You broke your own heart and wanted me to apologize for it. I don’t need to make myself more palatable for you to enjoy me. I am not sorry for being myself.

not sorry
i want to make you feel guilty for changing your mind about me. it’s not your fault that i am damaged but it is your fault for how you acted. it’s okay if you don’t want my body because i’m not letting you anywhere near it. *** with you is better as a concept anyway.

a concept
trying to hold a conversation with you is mentally exhausting and i just don’t have the time to defend every sentence that comes out of my mouth my words are not wrong just because you don’t like them

conversation starters
When I look at you, I'm pretty sure my heart melts. I don't know how to explain that but it's how I feel and how I've felt. You're becoming my happy place, you're making me brand-new. I thought I should let you know that I think I'm in love with you.

Feelings
Anxiety is like a sixth sense that is wrong 9/10 times but it screams louder than everything else so it seems like it's the most urgent. Usually nothing's wrong and usually I overreact and even though I know those things I still wake up at three in the morning freaking out about something that's probably irrelevant. My anxiety says "oh this time it's real trust me because i'm the loudest thing in your brain so i am obviously right." and I'm like 'yes that makes sense tell me more please', even if its been wrong every single day for two years straight. A never ending cycle.

my sixth sense
I hate when they don’t understand when I say “My anxiety hurts so bad today” I try to describe it to them, like when you get butterflies (but replace them with knives)

I hate my anxiety
She warned him before he came over that she might wake him up in the night. For her mind is plagued with monsters that cause her to act out her nightmares. He laughed it off and chose to go anyway, aware of the seriousness in her warning. He laid with her through the trauma, and got a glimpse into the prison she owns. The prison that lives and thrives in her brain. He did not question her motives when she woke up suddenly and pushed him away. He wasn’t afraid for he understood why. She wondered why he wasn’t scared, and suddenly it hit her like a train. The reason he did not startle was simple. He must be plagued with monsters too.

Monsters
It is incredible how quickly my rationality was lost and I genuinely considered taking a blade across my skin for absolutely no reason. It's as if my progress means nothing to me and I am just a spoiled brat who isn't getting attention so I choose to hurt myself. It's been almost three years fighting this urge and it seems to be that it literally will not go away but I won't give in. Please don't let me find my self destruct button.

Self Destruct Button
I told you that I didn't want to. That I can't control myself. I made sure you knew so that when I tried to, you'd stop me. You were supposed to stop me. You were supposed to say no. I wasn't myself, I don't even know if I'd consider myself responsive. The only reason I realized what was happening was because I heard a song, a voice, a familiar tune. Reminding me of who I am. And who I am should not be someone who sleeps with everyone. This seems to happen to me a lot, I've noticed. I don't blame you, I blame myself for trusting you. Trusting that you'd remember that I didn't want to be with you. Trusting that you wouldn't take advantage of me. Trusting that you cared about me enough to just say no.

Unresponsive
I feel for you, but I won't hold onto the past because I know I'm never going back there. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't do it. I've grown too much to step backwards into who I used to be when I was with you. Yes, it would be comfortable. But I don't want to ever live that state. The state of mind that the only time I can be comfortable is when I'm yours. I don't need that mindset. Plus, you don't want that anyway. You're happy, and I'm usually happy. Break ups happen for a reason and there's no reason to hold onto something that's already let go of you.
