Being able to stand at the bedside
Of that woman who
hurt
            hurt
                        hurt
you at your most vulnerable

And kiss her cheek while she is
hurt
            hurt
                        hurt
and at her most vulnerable

Is incredibly commendable.

when the one person who is paid to
encourage, help, believe
in you

finally
gives up on you

you tend to feel
a little
hopeless

if a shrink can’t fix me,
maybe i’m not meant to be fixed

maybe i'm just not meant to be
A person with no enemies is a person with no friends.
They do not oppose, argue, or defend.
They have no opinions of themselves for anyone to hate them over, they have only the opinions of others that constantly shift based on who they’re with.
This person with no enemies doesn’t know how to protect the ones they love, because in treating everyone as an inarguably good person, they fail to see their faults and flaws that hurt themselves and others.
They hurt themselves in attempts to protect themselves.
They don’t want conflict, so they just try to be kind and tolerant of everyone — even the people who hurt them.
They let themselves get trampled on and used to please others. Inevitably, if they refuse to have enemies, they
will become their own.

It is possible to have no enemies, but it is not healthy.
It's okay to not like other people because of the actions they’ve done to hurt you or someone else.
Just because that person has the potential to change doesn’t mean you have to stick around to wait for them to get better and get hurt more in the process.
Having enemies doesn’t mean you have to constantly engage in conflict, nor does it mean you have to have an active pursuit against this person.
You just have to avoid and ignore them when possible, and remind yourself that you respect yourself enough to not get down to
their level.

I don’t wish that I didn’t have enemies. In fact, I wish I had more.
Assignment from Drama class - Write about someone who has no enemies. Is it even possible? Do you wish you had no enemies?
I am trapped in my mind
They’ll call me “quiet”
But if only they knew that inside, its too loud

I've got a lot of ghosts inside me just whizzing 'round
And no matter what temptations I use I can't coax them out


I’m my best friend, my worst enemy
The only person who knows, and that who knows the least

I sometimes wish that they hurt it all
That the noise would bleed out my ears, the same as tears and scars

But my worries are far too selfish I can’t let you know
Cause if whats in my head went into yours I’d have to let you go
