11 word life
Mayte Jan 2015
While you are watching tv, I am cutting the pain away.

Smile
Mayte Nov 2014
A smile can hide our most dreaded fears, our happiness, our silenced agony, and our painful battles. Don't assume it's there because I'm happy. I am not.

Shameful parents
Mayte Nov 2014
My world is crumbling down again. I just want you to hug me. To reassure that everything will be fine. You want to come back. I recall all of those nights wishing you where there for me. Yet now I don't want you back. As much as it pains me I don't need you. She may need you but I don't. You have taught me to put my trust in no one.  
I honestly want to end my miserable life. I am so tired of a the *******. I don't know who to trust, who to cry out with. I am acting as if I have no care for the situation, yet it kills me every time when I realize you haven't changed. You wanna come back, sure. But not inside my heart. You have been restricted for life. I hope you have an awesome life with her. Hope you try to make her happy.

You are at fault £
Mayte Oct 2014
The nerd, shy girl that you met in the past stayed in the past. Because of you this girl grew claws, build a wall, filled herself with sarcastic comments.
Just to never have her heart broken by a stupid *** like you.

Momma
Mayte Oct 2014
Dear Mother,
I am writing this letter at 1 in the morning. You will never see this, and most probably you wouldn't care. I don't know what to feel. The internal temblor killing me was caused by you. Just so you know I LOVE YOU! I have done everything in my hands to make you happy. I have abandoned everyone who I once cared and still love. I have woken up crying because daddy wasn't there. I went to church to see that smile lighting up your face. I have eaten my meals every day. I don't starve myself anymore. I did this because of you. I left everything behind because I love you. But why? Why? Why? Why? I don't understand why. When my sister found out I was cutting myself, instead of asking why or giving me advice you said " no child of mine would ever do those things!" I was so thankful that the only thing left in my wrist were fainted scars. Why do you judge before knowing? Why do you not see that your child isn't happy? Why do you force her to do things that hurt her? I dread to go to church. Of course you don't know why! You just say " you'll go to hell if you don't." You don't know what's it like to see people serving god with their hearts when you where once in that position. You don't know what's it like to cry in the church's restroom because it's painful to see that I was the happiest girl ever in my church! I can't swollen food. As lame as I know you think it sounds, I wish that I was skinnier, beautiful, and loved. Food is just a barrier that I decided to eliminate to play the part. You don't know that I love you. But because of you I am contemplating death. Once again, for the millionth time, just let me heal! Not all of us are like you strong and determined. I am sorry I made you suffer! That was my last intention. You did everything for me but it's my choice. Not yours, not society's, not God's. And right now my choice is to give up! I am sorry I am not your little naive serious girl you once loved and admired. Your girl grew up.

Point in life
Mayte Oct 2014
There comes a point in life where you no longer care about anything.
All of your goals and aspirations seem far away.
You no longer feel happiness. Yet, you are constantly facing the world and your family with lies and smiles.
They don't know that deep down in you lies a soul who no longer cares.
There comes a point in life where all of the battles lost turn into opened scars. There's no energy left to die, or to even defend your soul.
You are just there, watching people die, find their soulmates, get excited over a band. Yet you are with them physically, but your soul is numb.
Your soul looks for peace. And that peace can only be obtained by you.
But they wounded you, almost left you there to die.
How can you possibly find the strength to be at peace?

Don't come here expecting me to be happy, to be the girl you left behind.
The last thing I am is happy.
Thank you very much.
~sorry not sorry~
The girl you left behind is learning to stand up for herself.

I changed. Sorry. I don't laugh at those jokes now. I changed, sorry. My folders don't have flowers in them, instead band names. I changed, sorry.  My wardrobe is filled with classy clothes that I don't wear. I changed, sorry. Green isn't my favorite color anymore. Black overtook my clothes and shoes. I changed, sorry. I am more open minded. I believe, now, that the world is a not so sweet place. I changed, sorry. My smile brings no comfort anymore. I changed, sorry. I easily get annoyed with preachings and pastors. I changed, sorry. I damage myself instead of damaging my loved ones. I changed, sorry. I don't care anymore.
The ones that don't change are those memories that forcibly replay in my head every minute.
They tell my to leave my past in the past.
But tell me, how can I do that?
How in the world can I forget something that is constantly there?
When I saw you again, my world crushed again.
I didn't expected the feeling of comforting you.
I didn't expected you to hug me.
It hurts!
It hurts to know that everything came down.
It hurts to know that we are strangers with memories.
It hurts to know that I am breaking inside, while you keep rolling with your life.
It hurts to know that you are in pain.
What hurts the most is that I can't be by your side.
What hurts the most is that I am overflowed with internal battles.

Maybe I wasn't meant to leave, maybe I was meant to stay and fix the broken.

If only you knew
Mayte Aug 2014
You are so far away, yet so close.
Every memory becomes unshed tears that condense into silent screams
You left me here…alone
The part that agonizes me the most was that you left without a goodbye
You left.
You promised this girl to be with her forever.
You promised to tend to her needs, to love her with all your heart
Haha. Another ignored promise and many broken dreams
If you only knew!
If you only knew that she sleeps every second possible. It’s unbearable to smile, to lie, while objects and gestures bring a name in her head. Your name
Sleep makes her heart, soul, and mind go numb.
Yet, even though she tries…truly tries…she can’t keep the nightmares from crawling and tearing her heart apart.
If only you knew that she is forced to attend to Sunday church.
Yes, her! It’s hard to believe that the old her once was a devoted believer of god.
You made her that way. You made her believe that god was the answer to all of the problems.
You made her believe that god will love her no matter what.
****!
That girl sure does have a stupid heart.
Because she believed in you. Because she ignored all of the “wordly” aspects of this life, her own life is a living hell.
She goes to church, not because she wants to. No.
She goes to church to make her mother happy and to keep her harsh criticism away from her.
She tries hard not to cry every Sunday morning at church.
She is reminded of all the happy moments you were the cause of. She can’t help compare them to you.
And, always, in her heart and mind you will be her #1.
But she will not make the same mistake twice.
She trusted you, yet you gave her heart away to violence, confusion, disappointment, and anger.
She no longer gives love to people. She no longer gives warm hugs and a “god bless you”. She no longer gives that arm to help.
All she gives is crap.
That is what she learned from all of you.
She learned crap.
She learned that some people just let jealousy ruin their whole life and family.
She learned that the right thing is never done.
She learned that no man, not even god himself, can be trusted with her heart.
Do you think this isn’t the crap that you gave her?
Well, let me continue!
You tore dreams of a girl.
You manufactured a shell for her.
A shell that she covers herself from love, and forgiveness.
You let that girl fall hard from that bicycle.
You let her think that she could trust in you, yet why did she fell down?
Why did she scraped her legs and lost her heart on the way?
You let her cry herself every night
You are such the coward, imbecile who she wishes she never met.
If only you knew that her hand is starting to collect scars.
If only you knew that she uses sleep and pain itself to numb her pain.
If only you knew that she wishes to be 6 feet underground.
If only you knew that all of her illusions and dreams went down the drain.
If only you knew that her plants outside are dying, begging for her attention.
She just can’t bring herself to find comfort in the things she used to.
If only you knew that she watches people with envy, wishing to be her, the one who is loved and the one that loves with her heart.
If only you knew that she hides the pain away from her judgmental family well.
She hides it with laughter and jokes
Yet behind that entire act, she sits in the restroom inflicting cuts on her arm.
She sits in the tub crying while her tears hide with the water.
If only you knew that at those times she wishes to be home.
She wishes to be that girl again.
The one that was hold in her father’s arms.
The one that knew that everything was going to be fine.
The one that knew of peace and love.
She wishes to be home.
She wishes to end her life, give up on all her dreams to be with him. Back to her home.
She no longer cares,
She no longer wastes time.
She no longer responds to those calls or messages.
She no longer is part of that youth group.
She no longer is the girl who she longs to be!
