Let me go
please.

Let me fall
please.

Let me bleed
please.

Let me break
please.

Let me tear myself apart
so I don’t have to feel this way
anymore.

please.

when you left
(when you walked away)
I forgot how to breathe.
you were my air,

now I'm suffocating.

They say you are Icarus.
They say you flew
for a love so great and terrible
that it killed you.

They say you fell from heavens
into dark depthless oceans.

“For Love!” They say.
“He died falling in Love!”

But I think they’re wrong.
I think you burned.
Because of a lie;
a false promise of security.

I think you were dead
before you even hit the water.

They never found your body, did they?

I like to watch my world
fall apart
from a distance.

Looking through
shattered glass pieces
and foggy two way mirrors,
my life crumbling
down

down

d o w n

into nothing but forgotten ruins
...

it’s almost poetic.

silly girl.
did you think they would
follow you?

stupid girl.
did you think they could
love you?

childish girl.
did you think you were
all grown up now?

broken girl.
there's no fixing you.
PSA: this poem is not about MY mother. I love my mom a lot.

Look at yourself
I mean
REALLY
look.

See the bluish
broken
shade of your eyes?

The fragile
scarred
texture of your skin?

Look how damaged you are.
Look what you did.

Act like you give a ****
about your own well being for once.
You hurt so bad
because you refuse to see that
you’re ******* human.
You live and breathe and die
just like the rest of us.

Terrifying
Isn’t it?

To realize that
self care and
self love
is the only way you’ll survive?

Write your story.
Write it again.
In ink or
tears or
agony or
dreams.

Rip apart your soul
and glue the pieces
to the pages.
