I think I write best when my heart is physically sound and emotionally unreceptive.

That's when my heart usually drifts, carried by winds of anger,
anxiousness,
bitterness,
callousness,
And more discombobulating feelings like emptiness.

...it drifts until it lands on the zenith of either apathy or peace.

And I write.
How does a 22 year old handle unwanted emotions?

To this day,
your name
still hurts my tongue
but I still say it anyway.
Sometimes I like to
hear my soul
gently tear itself
apart.

Adulthood is putting on a mask everyday
And hoping that one day
You become that mask.

When wounded in a place where the body cannot heal.
And the person who has caused that wound is unaware of how deep it is...
Or does not believe it's real.
And only "negative" emotions seem to numb the pain.

To those emotions, I guess forgiveness would be a betrayal.

So for now, do not forgive me.

Everyone has jumped off.
But I'm here trying to patch holes
That you refused to attend,
With my first aid level one skills.

I wish I took swimming lessons instead.

As we grow older,
It gets harder to laugh whole heartedly,
Because we become aware,
Of the holes in our hearts that nothing seems to fill.

Nevertheless, we always try
And that makes us beautiful.
You are beautiful 🖤
