I want more of you.
I forget how to breathe when you’re around.
I love the way your touch lingers on my skin.

The thought of losing you hurts more than I can fathom.

I don’t want to imagine a day without you by my side holding me tight.

You hold my heart in your palms.
I fear that when you stop loving me, I won’t be able to revive myself.

Please be kind to people who wear their hearts on their sleeves – people like me.

Please don’t break what’s already broken.

I can’t control these urges
Will I relapse once again?

All it takes is one cut
For my soul to be lost

Blood drips down my leg
Was it worth the pain?

I am two months clean
I plan to keep it that way

Lost between the lines.
All I do is cry.

Why do I even try?

These thoughts won’t leave me alone.
My mind is overflowed.

Am I dreaming?

I don’t wanna feel this way
Take the pain away

I can’t see the sun
The darkness is too strong

Hopelessness fills my soul
Where is the love

I don’t feel like myself
Leave me rot alone

I don t wanna feel this way
Take the pain away

The sun will rise another day
But for today, I’ll feel the pain.

I struggle to stay afloat,
But I am not a failure.

Sometimes I succumb to the thoughts and the urges are high, but I push forth.

I may feel weak, but I am strong.
I may think I’m hopeless, but I believe.
I may see flaws, but I’m beautiful.

I don’t want to live somedays, but I am reminded of reasons to stay alive.

I am not a failure.
I am a force to be reckoned with.

Love to give
Hope to have
I wish for both of these

But for now,
I will get out of bed
I will try today
I will try tomorrow
And everyday after until I feel joy to share with others and myself
