It’s 3am and Im stuck in my grandma’s couch wondering if theres more to life than constant struggle and defeat
And if I can be more than just the kid who couldn’t do anything right

I don’t get angry easily
I don’t explode in rage
I do keep it pent up
Forgive me if I lose myself

I don’t dislike anyone
I don’t have bad intention
I do feel animosity in me
Forgive me if I hurt you or myself

Ive spent so long without love
I forgot what it felt like
It isn’t always there
But sadness is consistent
Its always there
Maybe thats why I feel so empty without it
Love me

I wondered why I had so much trouble
Breaking out of this heartbreak bubble
Let me tell about my story about guys who were my weakness
In the heart I treasured but where cold increases
There was a boy I saw in the halls
He was a year older and he loved basketball
I watched his games and he noticed
I know he did cause he winked and said he expected me to cheer the loudest
But after months of opening doors, carrying bags and sweet nothing being thrown back and forth
He says he’s tired and replaces me and I just became ignored
There was another boy much older then before
He was smart and successful and said the world was to explore
I looked up to him and I thought he looked lovingly down to me
But to do bigger things he left me screaming at the sea
The next one was more of a child
He was joyful and promised me love and marriage
But he was just kid lacking reality and it was something I could not encourage
Because he thought by promising marriage *** was a must
I had to say no 10 times before he even budged
In the end I had to walk away from the boy with false promises and deaf to the word no
The last one was a high school love
It was unrequited it was a time I had to be tough
He was my classmate I saw him everyday
Our relationship wasn’t black and white it was all grey
He told me to wait and wait I did
Til he fell in love and I didn’t want to admit
That he did me wrong so i asked my place
He took my hand and brushed my hair out of my face
He told me to wait and wait I did
6 years go by 2 boyfriends later I couldn’t quit
He was the one until she got pregnant
And all he got out of me was judgement
These guys created the walls around my heart
They didn’t break it beause you can’t break something that’s already broken from the start
All it did was stack bricks upon the broken parts
Let me tell you about the time it was shattered  
It wasn’t a specific time it was a long period
With fights and screaming it was like a sickness that needed immediately to be treated
It broke when I had to beg on my knees for my dad not to leave
It broke when I had to chase my 4 year old little sister down the street chasing after our dad who loved to decieve
It broke when my mom told me I wasn’t good enough
It broke when my mother just watched my aunt slap me multiple times for something that was her fault and letting me wallow in grief
It broke when I was told I was a failure right from the start
It left me scarred
Wanting to hurl
It left me
Heartbreak girl
I was sad for such a long time because I wondered why I always had the short end of the stick when it came to love

Its weird, I just realized
How when you say too much, words lose their meaning
I love you
Your beautiful
I promise
Like when people say hurtful words but you’ve heard it all the time
It still hurts but just a dull ache
I remember when I used to do anything for a guy just to tell me im beautiful
Slept in different beds in different places
Woke up in different sheets
just to validate that guys are attracted to me
Forgetting the disgust I felt
For one night of feeling loved
But things have changed
One nights makes me feel empty now
When people tell me im beatiful now its answered with a shrug
When someone promises something I 100% expect it to be broken
Ive taught myself to avoid disappointment
But deep inside I long for a moment when the whole world going crazy around him but stares at you in the midst of laughing
in a big t shirt, pigging out
Face completely bare, acne scars and all
Hair unwashed and tied messily
And be dazed at how ******* beautiful you are and how much he loves you
Just one moment

How do I love
How do i get butterflies in my stomach
And excitement runs through my veins making my body shudder
How do I love
A person no special than any other person walking down the street
I don’t understand
How will I know who to love
What will it feel like
Will it be a man
How will I know
If he breaks my heart will I be able to forgive him and take him back
Or let him go
Will I forget about myself and focus on him
I hope not
Will my world suddenly revolve around just one person
Will it last forever
If so how does one know
How do I love
And how will I know when im doing it
What do I do when he leaves
How will I cope
How does one freely give their whole heart to one person and watch them walk away
Tearing your heart piece by piece
How do I love knowing I’ll get hurt someday
Will it change me
Will I be a little less myself
How long will I be broken
How do I love despite everything
I honestly want to know
