Because cutting hurts less than you...
How do I look today?
What do you think?

Are we good?

What should I do?
Should I buy this?

Are we good?

Do you like this on me?
Do you think I can do this?

Are we good?

Am I making the right choice?
Are you sure its okay?

Are we good?

When did my entire existence begin to only matter with your approval?

When did my confidence only shine through when you agreed?

When did my life begin to revolve around pleasing you?

The day I lost myself was the day that I met you and I regret that with every day I strive to find myself again now that you are no longer pulling me down.

Am I good?

Yea…I will be the longer you aren’t around…
You were the beautiful light at the end of my tunnel.

I loved running in the tunnel towards you and trying to see all of you.

I liked how you faintly glowed on my innocent skin but I wanted more of you.

I wanted you to beam across my entire body making me gleam as you always did.

I kept running to the light at the end of my tunnel.

Until one day, an oncoming train crushed me.

And it was in my last few breathing moments, that I realized that my tunnels promising end had blinded me

There was never something beautiful to aspire.
In a field I lay in early December.
The sky was glum and the world around me was grey.
The air crisp, as the soft snowflakes melted on my lips.
All the nature around me was lifeless.
Oh how I wished to be dead along with my surroundings.

That’s when I heard him.
His footsteps crunching as he walked across the icy field.
With every step towards me, the frost on the blades of grass melted.
Each of his footprints being replaced with beds of tulips.
The sun started to peek from behind the clouds and the buds started growing on the tips of the branches.

“Come my Dear, its time to get up now.”

“What if I fall again?”

“But my darling, what If you fly?”


He leaned down to me and placed his soft lips on my numb lips melting all the ice around my heart.
My whole body was instantly awakened by a sensation I had not felt in what felt like forever.
The butterflies in my stomach that I felt from his kiss lifted me.
Indeed I did fly, Indeed I soared.
Verily with every hardship comes ease.
I still remember the crackling sound behind that dumpster and the burning smell that followed.
It was raining, cold and windy.
Everything around us was dark except for the tobacco that lit up when I inhaled that little bit of temporary relief.
It's ironic how smoking will slowly **** you but so will falling in love with a person who doesn’t love you back.
At least one of the slow harrowing deaths comes with a nice *buzz.
Oh how I miss that buzz...
Life has a cruel joke.
Giving you the right person,
at a dreadful time.
They sting mercilessly in the hot shower as the burning hot water washes over them.
Depression…
Where every shirt sleeve becomes a tissue
from society
from friends
from family
from school
from work
from culture
from religion
from morals
from values

*from self
I'm so lost.
Whenever I want to cut, my guardian angel tells me;

“Every feeling passes my dear, just wait (do not cut) and you will feel euphoric once again.”

If every feeling passes, that means that the loss he feels from losing me will pass.
He will move past the feeling of long-sufferingly waiting for me.

He is going to continue on. The feeling of love he has for me that he clutches on to will pass.

The very idea of ‘every feeling passing’ is the new ideology that drives me to want to...
*slice my wrists open ruthlessly.
To my guardian angel who may be reading this. I love you. I am just venting. Tonight has been difficult but your encouragement and reassurance is what wipes every tear off my face. I will be okay and this feeling will pass.
Excuse me God, It's me.
Are you there?
I was just wondering if I could please come back to you soon.
I miss being close with you and how you caressed me under your wings.
This world is so scary and corrupt and I really need someone to turn to again.
Are you still there?
God?
Oh how I have strayed away from the one person I knew would never leave me...
My mama told me never to play with fire.
I played with fire once and got burned.
I know not to do it again,
But the scar will always remain.
I've been thinking about the past again...
You are my first and hopefully my last.
I am your 5th and the future is uncertain.
Living with anxiety disorder is hard for me while I am in a serious relationship. Although I am falling for a person who said those 3 magical words to me before I could say them to him, my head and heart are constantly contemplating whether or not this could actually be forever. He is the first person who I am in a serious relationship with and I pray to God that this is forever but I can't help wondering whether or not this is just temporary for him. Will I just be another ex like before women before me? I know that our relationship is stronger than those of the girls before me and that he constantly reassure me that he loves me and wants me forever, but my anxiety gets the best of me and I am forced to hide my constant fear of something that makes me so happy coming to an end.
I’m so ******* tired
Of taking everyone’s ****
All the ******* time
I am having such an off day
You can buy all sorts of crazy things on the internet;
A celebrity...
A person to stand in line for you...
Even uranium for goodness sakes...

Why the **** cant you buy the ability to freeze time and just turn off your life for a bit.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I WANT RIGHT NOW.
**** EVERYTHING!
I said good night to you and stayed up waiting all night for you to say it back
My heart says hello
My head says goodbye
But my lips keep drawing closer to you with every breath I take
</3
I want to ******* scream.
I so badly crave your arms wrapped securely around me at night when the nightmares start.
I want you to be the one who dabs my tears away and hugs me while breathing in the scent from my messy hair.
But you’re never there and it’s physically starting to weaken me because it actually hurts as to how much I ******* love you.
:(
I wish I could use a time machine and take back each scar I left on my vulnerable skin.
Instead of self mutilating, I would take my blade to your skin and mark it as a reminder of all the times you ripped me apart.
I would cut your heart out of your body and hold it in my hand, not to love and caress but rather to crush it like you did to mine.
I would suffocate you with my ‘fat body’ watching your eyes beg for my sympathy until you have no air to breathe.
And just as you are about to taste the sweet taste of death, I would mercilessly cut off your pride and joy which is just as little as the respect I have for you.
and I have no respect for you…
The End.
You said you wanted to see the world so I went ahead and I showed you the world.
But when I turned around, you weren't even with me...
I don’t cry.
I never have.
Not when my childhood friend died,
Or even when I found out my grandparents had cancer.
I am a really tough girl,
Or so I would like to think I am.
Or rather I was a very tough girl.
I used to be a pro at being sad and showing zero emotion.
Lately, it’s been too easy to be standing at a bus stop and think myself into streaming tears and a runny nose.
I guess I do cry now…
And a lot thanks to you.
I hate how you broke me down
Only to build me up
Just so you could break me down once again

I hate how you convinced me to open up to you when I was shy
Only to give you what you wanted from me
And then tell me to be ashamed for being so exposed

I hate how you would ask me what’s wrong
Only to pretend to listen as I would cry
And then tell me off for thinking I have it harder than others

I hate how you would tell me you loved me
Only for me to find out that you have another lover
And then to get angry with me when I would try to move on

I hate how I wasted my time loving you unconditionally
In hopes that you would love me too
Only to realize after eight months that you don’t deserve me
Knowing that its going to be a while until I see you again leaves my body numb. Every bone, muscle and joint just barely picks itself up every single day to live my excruciating life.

The crazy thing is, despite knowing that I had an addiction to you, I still consumed you wholeheartedly at the first opportunity I had knowing that consuming you, my drug, would corrode my body inside and out.

Every sensation I felt with you still lingers on my body, your lips on my lips, your hand on my chest, your torso pressed up against mine….

The weird thing is, I’m not sad because I won’t see you for a while,
because I gave my whole self to you, because the feeling of your body still remains on mine…

The ****** up thing is, I am sad because the smell of your cologne is gone from the sweater I wore when we met and ravished each other for the first time.
He honestly broke me...
I love the innocence present even we are being naughty
This is about a guy who was so respectful and kind and gentle even when things were getting a little heated. I have never felt more comfortable around anyone before, not even my own family. I think things may be taking a turn for the better, and I definitely did not see that coming into my life any time soon. This is super chiche but maybe time really does heal all wounds ❤
In, out
In, out
In, out
They say the first couple times hurt but after a while, it gets easier.
Whoever said that lied to my face.

Because every time he is in my life its great,
But the second he walks out, my entire existence seems to fade away.

With every fight comes and even better make up but to be honest,
The make up isn’t even worth the pain I feel during the fight.

We cannot keep going at it like this
Because it definitely doesn’t hurt less the fifty sixth time
In, out
In, out
In, out
I have never understood people who cut themselves.
Like seriously, what in gods name possesses you to take a blade and slice into your own delicate flesh?
I am a religious girl, I believe that our bodies belong to God and it is not ours to hurt.
Last night, I took a dull blade and scratch my wrists until they were swollen. I scratched for such a long time until blood slowly drew and drip down my wrist falling between my legs in my bathtub.

I’m sorry that I never understood before.

I’m sorry that I never felt bad.

But I understand now.

I cut myself because any other pain other than the excruciating pain I feel on a daily was worth feeling.
The worst part is, I believe that I deserve the scars because my pain is self-inflicted.
I know he’s the very source and refuse to let go.
I promised my best friend that I would stop but so far, I haven't kept that promise.... I'm so sorry
I wish I was your
One and only rather than
Your one of many
</3
I love watching the way that all the muscles in your face relax when you laugh.
I could watch you laugh forever
Life is not a box of Lego
You cannot persuade someone to build a tower with you
A tower that seems so strong and inferior to the world
A tower that looks like it will last forever
Only to break the tower down
Abandoning the other builder
To clean up the

While you go and build a brick house
With someone else
You were my first love
But when I really look back
You were my first loss
I hate how I can't let go of the bad in my life despite the good beginning to make an appearance
May I just say, I thank God every day for giving me the ability to feel and give love with my whole heart.
I am so grateful that every time something virtuous happens in my life, I can appreciate it and grasp the wonderfulness with complete emotion.
I think this is the one thing I am most blessed with.

But it is also the one thing that I am cursed with

Not only does my heart feel love and care with its entirety, it also feels sadness and fear to an extreme level, which unfortunately is a much stronger emotion than love. I intensely and deeply feel pain to the point where it overcomes every part of my mind, body and soul.

*Im scared of how much I can feel...
A hug is the closest form of embrace you can have with a person.
A hug does not feel close enough to you anymore.
I just want to melt into you.
I love you so much
I am so happy <3 It has been a while since I have genuinely felt happy. For a long time, I have been sad, then I was neither happy or sad. Now I am happy and falling in love <3
I never used to tell you the names of my favourite places
But I would make them seem so remarkable in your head
That they would become places you couldn’t resist going to
And I was the only one with the map to the location

I never wanted you to know where they were
So that when you came to me, you wouldn’t go to them without me
I wanted to share my favourite places with you
And make them our favourite places

But today, I sent a letter to you in the mail
With a list of all of my favourite places
Because I want you to still get to enjoy them
Even though I will not be there to appreciate them with you
I always wondered what my ideal first date would be like with you.
I imagined it to be full of chivalry and romance.

A long walk on a beach
Lying in a grassy field looking at the stars
Or even going to a romantic summer concert where we lay blankets down in the grass and gazed deeply into each others eyes.

Who would have thought that my first and last date with you would be making love to you in the back of your Jeep before we parted forever.
This was not only my first date with him, it was my first date ever...
When you wake up, your nightmares end.
When I wake up, my nightmares begin...
Nights are the most difficult.
It's when I miss you the most.
The worst part is, when I'm having a nightmare about losing you and I roll over for your comfort, you're not there.
And there it was
The most beautiful Persian pomegranate
With a skin so flawless
It would be a sin to cut it open

The pomegranate was calling out
Begging her to take a bite
But she knew it was not hers to taste

She resisted the temptation for so long
Eyeing the pomegranate every day
As she strolled by the fruit bowl

One day, when she walked by
She noticed the pomegranate had been cut open
It’s juicy plump seeds alluring her to just take one bite
What would be the harm in just one taste?

She put a seed in her mouth
It’s water-laden pulp seed burst
Exposing her tongue to something
She had never tasted before

Every day
She would walk by
And the Persian pomegranate
Would demand her to take more
So she would slip a few more seeds onto her innocent tongue

And as time went on
The seeds tasted better, sweeter
And more seductively succulent

One day
She placed the seeds into her mouth
But to her surprise
Her mouth began to burn
Her gums began to blister
Her lips began to bleed

She was perplexed
Because the pomegranate was
A poison disguised
As a beautiful, sweet fruit

The pomegranates poison
Consumed her body slowly
Ripping her insides to shreds
As the days she spent enjoying its sweet offerings
Flashed before her eyes

The Persian pomegranate
Painfully and poignantly killed her
We stood there with his body pressed up against mine and my body pressed up the against the wall.
Our lips were touching but not being kissed.

"Why won't you just take the choice away from me and just kiss me?"

He looked at me with his lips still grazing mine and said,
"I pinky promised you I wouldn't kiss you until you were ready, I'm not one to break a pinky promise."

It was then I knew I was ready and I kissed him more passionately than I've ever kissed someone before.
Never break a pinky promise ❤
I knew it would hurt if I let you touch me, but I didn't care.
I'm self destructive and I love the pain.
And with one final kiss on my forehead, he planted my flower in his garden. ❤
She was a good girl.
**** as **** but super reserved.
She was the furthest thing from being considered a **** or *****…

He would tease her and slowly peel away her armour.
She abandoned the good girl she once was to be a bad girl for only him.
Something about him made her want to drop all her guards.

She would send him **** photos while he was in meetings.
She in hoped he would take it out on her later.
And one day he did, he called her a ***** and tossed her away.
Even though I have everything I could have ever dreamed of, there is still a faint whisper from my past reminding me that I could lose it all once again.
Our first kiss was euphoric
Your lips pressed mine into a smile
I’m in love ❤️
Can everybody
Please stop asking me what’s wrong
That won’t make it fine.
My co-worker kept asking me what was wrong on my off day, not because he cared but because he wanted to tease me and laugh at me for having "petty" problems.

Well ***** you Nick...
I sat in front of you with tears streaming down my face. I knew at this moment, it was over between the two of us.

All I wanted from you was to acknowledge that you hurt me and that you were sorry for breaking me.

But all you said to me was, “If it wasn’t me to hurt you, it would have been someone else.”
The hardest part of the night is muffling your sobs into your pillow
Depression is so hard to live with; it is even harder to live with when nobody around you understands it.
I never understood how one could find the right person at the wrong time.'
Today I have a full understanding of that phrase as I felt as though I needed to end things with Mr. Right for coming into my life at the wrong time.
Thank you for understanding why things needed to end. I will always love you forever for understanding why I really need a friend now more than anything else.
As it is, your words cut me like a knife.
I don’t know how much longer I can take the pain.
For the next couple of months, I’m going to put aside a pill for every thing you say to me that hurts me.
And when I finally can’t take it anymore, I’ll swallow all the pills at once and end it all.
Simple
To my best friend who may be reading this... Please understand that I am just venting... I love you too much to go anywhere
"At 17, I should have been learning to drive a car, not hoping one would hit me."
I stumbled upon this quote on Instagram, not sure who wrote it but I relate greatly to this </3
