You taste like poetry and alcohol
another bad decision
another day washed away
with the bittersweet burn
leave me feeling giddy
all the pain forgotten
for just a little while
before it comes back
worse than before

(un)Kind words from a stranger

Today I learned,
that I am useless,
that I will be alone,
forever.

All because I told
a man that I am
not interested in ***.

I'm sorry that I cannot
fulfill my purpose in life.
Because clearly,
all that matters is
my ability to please
others.

Crumbs

I see myself falling to pieces.*
I would cover your eyes,
but I'm too busy covering my own.
Watch me fall apart,
because
I cannot stand
to look.

Tell me when it's over.

You

I never knew how to be happy
But you never knew how to be kind.
Maybe that's why we're both broken now.

Words are ******* tsunamis but people splash them around like they're puddles.

Depression

A chemical imbalance,
says my textbooks.
But how did it happen?
Was it natural?
Was it hereditary?
Did someone break you
so much,
that your own mind
couldn't stay together?
