Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.
sat in a dark room today

just me and the light from my laptop

and i felt calm

for the first time in a long time,

i wasn’t worried

and i didn’t think once about the things that worried me

and i realized something

just because you don’t believe my anxiety is there

doesn’t mean it isn’t

i live with it everyday

my fear of people

my fear of failure

my fear of saying the wrong thing

or doing the wrong thing

my fear of everything

my fear of losing the relationships i worked so hard to build

my fears aren't yours

yours aren’t mine

and that’s **okay
You promised me all these things,
but now I'm trying to at least remember my self before you..
Before all the butterflies & the heart break you've given me
Before all the gifts & the bruises I've received from you.
What happened to the nights of talking? They started to get replaced by my screams & the pain in my chest.
What happened to the "I love you",Now they're all "I hate you" ...

-D.
