cycle
Lee Jul 2023
It is our duty to ourselves to break the cycle.
Cycles that are unhealthy.
Cycles we have found comfort in.. or so we thought.
Repeating the same over and over again.
Aren't you tired?
She's using you.
Aren't you tired?
She's manipulating you.
Aren't you tired?
She's abusing you.
Aren't you tired?
She never loved you.
The cycle repeats
until you have the courage to walk away,
even when your heart isn't ready.
don't think my heart will ever be ready, but for the first time I listened to my mind.

somethings we never recover.
we still feel it in our bodies and in our minds.
some traumas never leave us.
so how do we live with it ?
We don’t.

In the end they will all leave
When they all said they would stay.
Every goodbye changes me ,
Eventually I move on
and our time together becomes a memory.
I constantly live in the nostalgia
of our time together.
i cannot go on without acknowledging the friendships & relationships I once cherished.
I
am forever changed.
Um so I’m not sure if this is really poetry kinda just venting but my 2 year anniversary for my suicide attempt just pasted and I wanted to acknowledge the people that were there during that time but also left .. might put out something else tonight but I’m not sure … ok bye

Lee May 2021
I wish things never changed between us
I wish we never changed
I wish I could go back and do it all over again but
the question is would it really change anything ?
I wish I still had you
But to be completely honest
you were never mine
to begin with.

I will never get apologizes for the words that have left your mouth.
I will never get to erase the trauma you inflicted.
I will never get the relationship I longed for.
The love I so desired.
Today I’m reclaiming my life and everything you stole from me.

I cannot help but think about you
And how our story ended so abruptly.
Only so many times I can say sorry
I want to say I will change,
But I cannot promise you that.
I can promise that
I am still the girl that cannot make up her mind.
I am still the girl that fights with her thoughts.
I am still the girl that loves too hard.
I am still the girl that loves you
I am still the girl that you loved.
I am also the girl that you left.
I could never be the person you wanted me to be
I could never change myself to be who you wanted.
Who you needed.
It’s been a emotional couple of months.

Where is home ?
Lee Mar 2021
This house I live in is not my home.
Truly, I’ve never had a home.
What does it feel like to have a home?

Mom
I need you to be alright
I still need you to teach me so many things
I cannot go on without you
Do not leave me
Please.
It’s been a long few weeks.

Memory box
Lee Nov 2020
When I opened the box it unleashed parts of the past I wasn’t ready to confront ,
Memories I would rather not relive .

Maybe I needed to be confronted to actually heal , but I do not know how to handle this pain

Confrontation is new for me , having to deal with emotions other than just burying it .

How can I forgive them ?
How can I heal from this ?
How can I complete this process of grief ?

Questions I ask my self daily , questions I’m not ready to answer
Frankly .. I’m not ready for this new season in my life
I’m not ready to move on
Confrontation will have to wait .

Death calls my name constantly,
Always in my ear
Whispering to me in times of vulnerability,
One day I fear I’ll listen .

I long for the day when the leaves stop moving

I long for the day when the wind no longer blows

I long for the day when the world stops for my last breathes

I long for the day when my soul leaves this earthly body

I long for the day when I can finally be free

When I am no longer here

Forever broken.
Lee Jul 2020
I wanted to write a beautiful poem to maybe  help express how I’m feeling ... but I realized there are no words that can describe this than “Forever Broken” .

HEALING.
Lee Jul 2020
We  all have things we have to move on from ,
things that have caused us pain and hurt
but moving on is hard even with time i havent healed.
i guess i just want to feel like a person again.

A painful beginning.
Lee Jun 2020
When I thought my eye couldn’t shed another tear , I cried more .
The tears would not stop .
The pain became unbearable , I could no longer keep it in . Hands covered my mouth in attempt to silence my pain , but I could not stop not this time .
My cries are for myself not anyone else .
I long for my happiness .
I’m praying for the day to say I made it .

— The End —
