Searching for a comfy room for my soul
My own person is healthy and courageous. My own person is self-aware and emotionally intelligent. He is growth-oriented, resourceful and positive. My own person is supportive, thoughtful, kind and empathetic. My own person is ready to take accountability, communicate and work through things even when the going gets rough. My own person desires to make me happy, chooses me and shows up for me. He is sure about me and healthily obsessed with me. My own person encourages and lifts me up when I’m at a low point. My own person does not disappear when I need him. My own person protects me. He knows how to introspect, reflect and has a desire to be better. My own person does not make me feel small or irrelevant. My own person is a secure place where I can feel at home. My own person is expressive. He is a source of light when I am in a dark place. My own person is as sure about me as the sun rises and sets without our asking, with certainty; regardless of the weather, timezone or location.

My Own Person
I honestly don't know why I'm still talking to you And I honestly don't know why I'm entertaining you in my life. I know for sure that I don't have despicable hatred for you   And I know for sure that I'm not head over heels in love with you. We're just friends. Sometimes I get bored and I don't mind company. I'm just a bit worried for weird dynamics because there’s that weird tension. Well, I think you are good looking. But there's not much I can do about it And honestly there's not much that I want to happen. Because that side is stressful And you don’t make it easier.

Just friends
Dear papa, you call me "daddy's girl" to the eyes of the world and cut me off when I share my deep opinions recycling your feel-good sources your love is conditional to how great I can make you feel Dear mama, you spell me out in your sour words defining me with my shortcomings you see your mistakes in me calling me "a weak child with no guidance" unaware that you have never shown real guidance Dear lover, you fail to show real emotions to anything that is less than perfect my imperfections threaten your ego i am clearly invisible   fighting through your lack of empathy Dear self, you have been buried deep into your mind obsessing over the ways your dearests have failed you despite the unconditional love you give It is time to start recognising how you have failed yourself and fight for your own peace

Dear self
Everything is fine and everything is not twelve hours thats all it takes for this merry-go-round to complete a trip Now I am tired Everywhere is calm The toxins are taking over Ethanol flowing through my veins I can't make up a decent statement It is finally over I am weak I can sleep I feel peace I hope I am stronger next time

If I could love the limping ugly afraid part of me That I drag through the mud and thorns If I could let the transparent clawing screaming silhouette speak Instead of kicking it into the basement If I could put my deepest human essence onto paper for everyone to see Then. Then, I could be free.

Last week I promised myself to practice self love Wellness from inside out, Why am I lying in bed? Starving to death Convincing myself I am not hungry Last week I promised myself to build hope Think plans that make the future exciting, Why do I not see past this moment? Stuck in the present Living each pain over and over again Last week I promised myself to have a little faith To believe and trust in myself, Why am I convinced that I am no good? Weak and lazy Waiting for the pain to go without trying Last week I ran a bath to slit my wrists But the blade wasn't sharp enough. I only scarred myself Why is this feeling back Without a sight of faith, hope or self love?

Last Week
my life is tainted with toxicity some, I can not run away from others, I do not have the strength to now, I just live each day at a time not eager to see where this all leads

If you were feeling like it was so right, Then you most probably ignored the wrong. If you have never had to have a fight, Then you kept anger in to get along. If you have never cried like this before, Then you had never opened up your heart. If you think none will love you anymore, Then you should know that now is when you start. If you’re alone unable to explain, Then you are stuck in someone else’s head. If you think that despair is part of pain, Then you should love somebody good instead. The man you loved before was fraudulent. A worthy man won’t hurt you with intent.

Sonnet to a Narcissist's Love
How do you see yourself from my eyes my tall, dark and handsome lover my strength when I am weak the light that pulls me out of a sunken place wouldn't it be beautiful if that was all there was But you don't see the veins under your eyes thirsty to unleash a rogue when teased a rogue that demands the admiration it does not give protecting its baby, your ego, with aggressive commands showing no mercy for all in its way until fed and satisfied I tease to ease the grim aura so what happens when I am all thats in the way  stuck with the responsibility to nurture and feed the rogue showering it with forceful respect and unwarranted apologies a dynamic you validate and see no fault with my history gives you confidence and insolence to believe that I can handle a shove from a lover because I have handled several fists from my brother forgiving my trespasses and outbursts to accommodate your impatient temper An unstable pain stuck with with your thirsty ego reminding myself that I deserve empathy and understanding you are my tall dark handsome lover but I have run out of the strength to nurture your baby  so I have to find the strength to walk away

My tall, dark, handsome lover
Maybe it's the alcohol Running through my veins Seeping through all of my pores Invading my skin, crawling, Leaving a trail of heat and numbness. Maybe it's my mind Trying to twist myself into A wringing mess, unconscious, Undesirable for the current society Whose words weigh millions. Or maybe it's just me. Overthinking, in a dark room. Laying there, paralyzed. Contemplating. Typing. Thinking. Tap, tap, tap. I'm tired.
