" That's just me "

You’ll hear her say

" I am lesser than beautiful "
I refuse to believe that
I am of worth
What exactly am I?

A courageous soul who is unapologetically herself

Well, the truth is
I look in the mirror to only see
My reflections disappoint
No longer can I say that
My beauty radiates from within

now read from bottom to top

Can you hate me now, and forever more?
Will you let me be, in agony. Without you?
I say no, never now, nor ever.

Tattered and bruised, feeling used.
Let the dust settle, and wonder where I am, where you last left me. Kept me in the dark long enough for me to understand that I don't need the light. The dust has sealed tight upon my skin.

Yet again, I feel the doubt filling in my pigments.
Are you different?
Forgiveness is something I've longed for, what right do I have to strip it from you.
Am I different?
How many times must I forgive you?
Am I truly deserving of that forgiveness as you are? Are we the same?

We want the warnings plain as daylight, but I'm not sure they  can be any more obvious.
We want someone to tell us what they want, and what they feel, but I don't know if they can get any louder.
I want more, to provide more, to live more.
But I no longer think that I have anything left to give or take.

You're welcome to mistakes, but don't let them become who you are.

I'm sorry, I'm so far away. The thought of you alone, feeling how I once felt. I understand that it feels like you can't escape the thoughts of her.

The drugs no longer take your mind long enough to forget, the alcohol is starting to feel shallow. You can't drown yourself in anything but your own blood.
The bathtub is drenched, the water is only slightly colder than your body..
I'm so sorry I couldn't be the blood in your veins to keep you warm.
Be okay.
