15/GF/erewhon Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.- Mark Twain
The pain they feel is worse for me than the pain of living with her because her i'm used to her I can handle but hurnting them making them worry about me is something I never want to do something I never want them to fear we're both so young they dont need this they should be able to have their biggest worry be about grades or friends no if I'm going to make it through the night they want to take all the pain away take me away from her and id let them in a heartbeat but I know reality i know they can't

Silence something that speaks louder than any words can because the silences of a victim can say so many more words than the screaming of the accused July 28, 1917, black lifes matter january 10 1917 to June 4, 1919 womens rights All these Silence protest that lead to change change in the way we see people change in the way we feel change in the way we hear silence

Silence speaks
Something old the scars on her once flawless skin done by the groom something new the plastic surgery on her nose because he had broken it so badly something borrowed the smile she always wore on her face That was never quite right anymore something blue the bruises on her body that covered her almost from head to toe

The "perfect" wedding
I step on the scale and the numbers are higher I want to call it a liar only it's a fact that all I have done has failed. I know you notice how your hands can't wrap around my waist how I've grown heavier how my legs aren't getting thinner I know I have an obsession with my reflection And I try to remove any and every flaw But I pierce my skin where I wish I'd look different If I skip 3 days, would I look better? Maybe then you'd notice me Maybe then you wouldn't have to lie when you say how "perfect" I am Or maybe you'll replace me with someone who can fill in the missing piece.

Would you notice?
When wounded by something, in time, it heals. When wounded by someone, it never heals— no matter the time.

the funny thing about love is that no matter how much it hurts how much you lose people yearn for it for the want for the need of another and i to am a fool for the sick twisted thing that is love

love
You tell me you're leaving. When I'm distraught, you hug me. I hug you back so tightly that you can barely breathe. As you begin to choke on air, I laugh because you're so dramatic. Then I realize that you're choking on air. But somehow, you are fine. I hug you again, a silent thank you for not dying and you hug me back tightly. I smile because your hugs are the best. Then you wave goodbye one last time and you are gone.
