this one's for September's sadness
splintered floors and splashes
of chemicals
that the doctor prescribed,
that you're not sure work
but are too scared to argue,
sweep your sadness into a clinical hug,
caress it like a dumb lover,
for it cannot speak aloud,
only yell inside your head
screaming banshees in the night,
thirty days, and thirty pills
and a bottle of *****,
September's sadness has an end
it cries out under blue lights
and sirens...

the way your lungs expand and contract
one heaving breath after another,
means you're alive
and that you're still here for me
despite it being selfish,
i'm glad you stayed

I know you don't love me everyday
I know that you can't stay

I know that
I know that
I know that

lip balm
thinking
what's wrong

fix it
fix it

I try

thinking thinking
I try

I know you won't love me everyday
I know that
I know that

If I leave tomorrow
will you stay

lucky me
lucky you

what's wrong
how can I fix it

thinking
this is it
nothing will ever be better than this
if it is
it's not enough

thinking
why

I try

I know you haven't loved me everyday

I know that now

I promised I wouldn’t do it.
But you promised I was more important than ***.
I guess we both lied.

i've been feeling too many feelings lately and most of the time when that happens i end up writing something but i can't think of anything that could possible convey the chaos i'm feeling right now.

happiness occurs to me in little chunks now.
the tiny things in life are giving me a smile.
a long text message from a friend to cheer me up.
having a good day.
feeling happy.
genuine, real, smiles.

i can't help but feel so guilty when i'm happy.
like all my pain and suffering is being replaced with a fake smile
i try to say no.
that i can be happy while i'm sad.
but i still feel guilty
for feeling this way.
