21/F A young maybe bipolar woman failing at trying to figure out the world, herself and love
These nights I stay awake are killing me These lies I start to say are filling me Up with depression and it’s peeling me Down to my most hated self and it’s stripping me To my darkest self with my darkest thoughts What would you do if you were really me? Would you make better decisions than silly me? Or would you stay in the darkness where it’s hard to breathe? Would you hold the light like comfort when it’s hard to sleep? Or would you let the darkness take you To sleep    Forever

Silly Me
I want to opt out No one knows this because no one understands this. This is not a suicide note I've been there before This is different. I want to just opt out of the simulation Exit the program. Deactivate. I can't, Wouldn't? Shouldn't! ****

I cannot write fancy rhymes anymore I long for my poet days before But here I am for another try Hoping this time I'll do it right I feel a constant ache in my chest It's impossible to ignore Once in a while I burst into tears but I push them back Far down where I hope I can feel no more But it doesn't seem to work I unlock my phone and your face is the staring at me Like you're so close I can almost grasp you Yet so far my heart feels a million miles away You will be okay little dove You will be okay.

The poem I thought I'd never write
In the quiet of my sadness I used to feel like home Till you took it away and it became a distant memory If only it could've been forever But I'm back and now it feels strange It feels foreign like I don't belong here I guess I should thank you, It was inevitable to return this this dammed place But at least now I can't bask in the sadness Or maybe that's a bad thing because now it hits harder It feels heavier I don't even know how to write about it anymore I guess I will just wait here, in the quiet, hoping the sadness goes away

It's back, I'm back
**** I'm here again I always try to run But depression is an Olympic sprinter I'm never far enough, never fast enough, never strong enough It gets me Every **** time it gets me Is this life? Is this really life? Questions I ask myself while trying to numb myself Force it all down can't let myself feel anything, Well, bad anythings. It's funny cuz I used to hurt myself to feel something Now I feel everything, It's not better It's all the same **** Everyday, Every ******* day And you ask me why I want to leave But I can't leave you to greave I wish I could I don't know if I would Suicide. Shouldn't or should?

Sigh. You little ***** You little **** I hate you yunno? Sigh. Maybe one day I'll learn But for now I can't help it You're still my sunshine Whether you believe it or not You're still the love of my life Whether you think it's true or not I guess this washed up poet still has some rhymes in her About the boy who lit a flame and gave her warmth Little dove, little dove You really are in love With that little **** boy Whose love comes from up above Because this isn't normal This isn't mortal This is real love And maybe someday you'll lose him And definitely be broken But for now a new you he has awoken It would be a sin for you to keep quiet For love like this deserves to be spoken

I wish I could call you my happiness I wish I could say you're my joy I wish when people asked for my weakness I'd say "that's the boy" The love of my life My sun, my moon, my stars and my sky My universe surrounding and always expanding My home, my safety, my sunshine My everything. My heart, my strength Now, forever, always. I don't understand I can't understand What do you think they were??? What do you think you were??? Just some words I thought fit nice together Or some exaggeration I couldn't possibly mean Empty sentiments Empty words Like the empty person who writes them I'm disappointed in you. I'm hurt but I'm oh so disappointed The washed up poet? You lit a flame and brought light back into her heart And with the new found warmth, she wrote. She wrote at 2AM and at 4 She wrote when she was with you and when she was not She wrote about love because that's what she felt That's how much she felt it How much she felt about you And then you tell her it isn't true You're not the love of her life just the best love she knew How dare you? How dare you turn all the beautiful things I said about you and meant it into empty sentiments? How dare you turn my hard work to make you know I love you into just words? How dare you??? How dare you tell me this??? How dare you. How dare you make all of it so irrelevant You've done some **** things But this? This one stings.

How dare you
A day is enough to miss you A week is enough to want to kiss you A month is enough to make me crave your hugs And anything more than that is too much time away from you my love

A day, A week, A Month
Vines sprout thick at the top of her head Making way for the beautiful sprouts they bear An array of colours so vibrant And textures so different Oh how envious we all must be For no one could foresee This blessing from the gods In a calm graceful way She smiles as she sees her reflection For she just realised She grew flowers in her hair

Sad sad girl When will you smile? Sad sad girl When will you laugh? Sad sad girl Does your cheek not crinkle? Do your lips not widen? Do your eyes not wrinkle? Sad sad girl Are you not tired? Are you not done? Is it not enough? Sad sad girl Do you not miss being happy? Is your heart not tired? Is your mind not uneasy? Sad sad girl Is he worth it? "Yes" Are you sure? "Yes" Okay then Sad sad girl I hope you'll be fine I hope you'll smile I hope you'll laugh Sad sad girl Chin up Wipe your tears Pretend to be fine No one will know the difference And maybe one day you'll believe it too And you'll be fine
