I'm an 18 year old mess of a girl who has way too many emotions and not nearly enough time on my hands. I'm going into my senior year, I have an obnoxious habit of dating people who fuck me over, my thighs are covered in scars that tell stories, and I am completely, unapologetically myself. / / My old poetry is really bad, but I'm not going to repeat my past mistakes by deleting them on a whim. I want to see my progress. I will also be taking my old poetry from Wattpad (which I deleted) and moving it here with documentations of when I first wrote them so that I can refer back to those as well.
*"You're too young
to be this tired."*
They say this around
grimaces that are
supposed to be smiles,
and eyes that are
silently screaming
because they know that
they have effectively
and efficiently ruined our lives.
******* millennials
are ruining this country."*
They say this around
clenched fists that are
holding on to things like
prejudice and injustice
that they refuse to acknowledge
is their own doing.
*"It's not our faults;
we're suffering, too."*
We're not saying this;
we're screaming it
at the top of our lungs,
but it's falling to deaf ears.
No matter how many statistics,
no matter how many news stories,
no matter how many debts,
no matter how many deaths,
no matter how many accounts of pain
we try and try and try to show them,
they refuse to acknowledge it.
*"We've messed up,
but so have you."*

i found an eyelash
on my cheek and
instead of wishing
for my happiness, i
wished for yours.

i claimed to love you, but
i fought you off when you
came for me; *when
you came to make me like
you.*
*[it wasn't good
enough.]*
now i am exactly like
you are, *(your blood polutes
mine)* and it makes
me feel sick.
i wish i could say the same
for the blood on
my tongue.

you radiated more than
the sun, and shone
brighter than the moon
on a cloudless night, and
for some
reason you decided
that i was
worth your time.
i spent nights wondering
why you even
gave me the time
of day and
i still don't know
the answer
to that, but
i'm happy that
you did because you
are possibly the
best thing to
ever happen to me.

sometimes i wonder
why i do this to
myself when i hate
the scars that cover
my body afterwards.

a lot of people
feel that
their significant
others aren't with
them when they
wake up because
they're not in
the bed with them.
and yeah, sometimes
i would like you
to be there
physically,
but just because
i can't touch you
doesn't mean that
you're not
with me
when i open
my eyes.

your breath reeked
of cigarettes and
coffee, and
your tongue was
covered with bittersweet
lies and deceit.
i will follow you down
this horrible rabbit
hole,
if only to get
another dose of you.
