22/F/Trying to get somewhere
Isn't it kinda crazy when you can actually feel yourself breaking. Like when you tap a plate and can tell if it's going to crack Or something like that. My mum taught me it's something like that. And life's funny cause all while you're breaking it continues. And you're making a strangers morning latte And you're listening to other people ask your favourite lecturer questions And you might be about to fall to pieces. Sometimes I wonder if I'm ever actually going to break. Sometimes I think I broke ages ago and just gathered the biggest pieces, Leaving the small shards of myself behind.

What's the best glue to use on a soul?
I don't love myself yet But I dislike myself less than I did yesterday.

Progress
Your beauty is not what sets a thousand ships to sail, It is the moon that controls the sea. It is not the beauty some men struggle in vain against, It is the wind that sings its serenades to the tree. Your laughter is not what mothers record for family movies, It is the sound angels play in heaven. It is not what movie directors long for, It is the motivation for the comedic profession. Your heart is not made to be broken, It's made to prove the existence of literary love. Your love is not manufactured to please others, You will always be so much more than enough.

Enough
I will pour my love into you, Saving myself no emergency reservoir, Deeming you deserving as soon as You said you "have not felt love before". I will forget and forgive in a second, to enable me to love you more, and treat you like you walk on clouds All because you said you have only ever experienced prickly affection. I will hug you tightly with love, and you will swamp me with yours grateful to have someone to give it to. I will fall for you, harder and faster than I have ever fell before. Unaware that I have been pushed by your claims of inexperienced love.

I love too easily
Art flows out of your brain, Beauty pours from your pen, Your words enchant people, So write today, and write tomorrow, and write again

Dear Poet,
How well you weave your web, For me to fly straight into, How well you teach me how to love, Even when you don't mean to.

Hindsight
Watch me crack myself open To let myself love you Only for you to disregard the broken parts Like you aren't the reason for the raw edges

Fragility is a choice I regret making
"Pick me up and put me back together" He said, Not realising she didn't recognise most of the pieces

Trust Issues
I give you permission to use me, Today I choose toxicity over solidarity.

Mistakes
How many times do I have to say "I love you" Before you start seeing you are worthy, and easy, to love.
