When I look into your eyes
Is it love?
When you pull me into your arms
Is it love?
When you laugh along with me
Is it love?
When you hold me as I breakdown
Is it love?
When you smile at me the way you do
Is it love?
I used to think it was...
But then I remembered....
You look into her eyes
You pull her into your arms
You laugh with her
You hold her as she breakdowns
You smile at her the way you do
I'm no one special
Just another girl you make feel that way
When it isn't real
No
It isn't love
Ever feel like you're not special to anyone, and you never will be...

the ones who think they'll never find true love
the ones who believe they're not worth it
the ones who see themselves in a warped or twisted way
the ones who can't see any light in their life
the ones who want to end it all
the ones who don't think they can make it through
the ones who should be told they are beautiful, amazing, and worth it. because  you are. I promise you are.
for those moments you just need someone to remind you that you are worth it, and will make it through.

You said you gave me the stars
I would have preferred your heart

We live in a world where girls get lectured on what to wear, but boys don't get lectured not to stare.
A world where we preach individuality and expressing yourself, but if you don't fit into a certain standard society shuns you.
A world where we're expected to be mature and act like adults, but are treated like kids who can't think for themselves.
We live in a world where people are bullied, pushed to suicide, shunned, mistreated, abused, and beaten down to the point of breaking.
But let me correct myself: we don't live in this world, we survive in it.
It can't be called living if we're dead inside.
The world is messed up beyond belief. Who's going to help fix it?

I breathe you in
Even as you fill my lungs with poison
I hold onto you tightly
Even as you burn me
I love you with everything I am
Even as you tear me down
I give you my heart
Even as you stomp it into the ground
I'm not too blind to see that you're toxic to me
But I am stupid enough to hope you'll change
We're always attracted to that which hurts us most

Is she prettier?
Smarter?
Funnier?
Nicer?
Less ****** up inside?
Is that why you chose her?
Because she can give you what I couldnt?
If so,
I hope you're happy.
Too bad it took me being miserable for you to be happy.
I should be over him, but I'm not. And I don't know how to be.

You say that you're worried
That's why you told them
That it would help
Just talk to them
Well guess what?
It didn't
Being forced under a microscope
Poked and prodded
Treated like a kid who lost her mind
Who went wrong and is ******* up her life
You think that helps?
I'd rather find comfort in myself
Then be subjected to that again
So please from the bottom of my heart
Stop trying to help me
In what world will being forced to talk about personal things with strangers help me?
