I remember the first time I felt beatiful It was 1:36 am in the morning and I was still trying to fall into that dark relapse we call sleep. Tumblr led to to oodles of words saying "you are beautiful and we love you" and it was all a lie. I am fat, boisterous, ***** unloveable, spineless, tricky, rude, dumb, mean, weak and awful human being. As my mother puts it best "You **** No matter how many times my man would hug me kiss and tell me I am beautiful i would always face the need to tell him to shut up You could tell all 273 pouds of me to go eat a salad and I wouldn't. rather I would sulk in those words and add them to my jar of hate for myself and such vile, searing syllables would string together in such colaliton that always included the words FAT and **** and trusting, foolish me would believe it. yet I would still deny any and all complements bestowed upon me by those who claim to care and cherish me. I would systematically shut down every kiss, smile, phrase, and action that would benefit my non existent self confidence. I say sorry after every opinion I state. Someone raised me to believe that my ugly words were a disgrace. My unsightly thoughts that protruded form my mind that was encased in this fat, unhealthy body of mine were a disgrace and needed to apologized for. Somewhere along the line I was guided to believe I was ugly, forign, and unwanted. And everyone was told the same message yet they all still scream to the nights of the internet and the literature that they, that you, that I am pretty. Yet there I would stand, with a knife at hand, waiting for the bravery to strive me to carve my flesh because I thought he didn't love all of me. because they didn't care for the total package I so desparatly tried to sell them. The first time I felt beautiful wasn't because I finally realized I was always such. It was because I saw it was okay to love myself without feeling bad. At 1:36 am there's no one to apologize to. And for being worth it-- I am not sorry.

His cold hand brushed up against my skin. My cries subsided, the ocean calmed It seemed like so many nights ago we fell in love A gaze for a slap A kiss for a punch It was a beating well deserved Thrusting onto the bed Crumbling against a wall Me Screaming through it all His eyes were so warm and kind, both filled with desire One for love The other for blood He then knelt down by my side His words soft and reassuring Another intricate lie to believe His voice would rock me, eventually breaking me at the core The waves would then rise Crashing onto my battered shore I should swim away I must free myself My heart longs for refuge But I stay in his arms, slowly suffocating in his grip There are few good men in the world And this time I played for keeps

Tis a dark hour when the moon rises Casting its cold shadow over our bleak house I sit, resting in its pale aura But unlike the cold moon my heart beat of a raging fire One full of hatred and deciet With every pulse I grow farther and farther away from my faith Because sitting in this moonlight I can hear him calling, "Come hither" "Come hither" Through the fire within I race towards the moonlight Only to be stopped by the lord himself In this moonlight I cry out, "I am not to be stopped by thee, lord!" Tis then I jump From the balcony railing I sat upon Falling the Lord warns me of my fate But I am not worried because the fire in me is starting to die The torment would Freeing me of the burden of second chances As the ground comes near I can't help but smile Even as I displeased the Lord For the moonlight knew what was best
