kept your hands under my back
i brought my legs up to the surface
you said to keep my breathing steady
i was already feeling nervous
i knew i could be fine
if i wanted, on my own
but i would drown for an excuse
to have you never let me go
After you're sixty-five,
you don't get birthdays
you get death threats,

when all bets are side bets.
My heart doesn't pound,
It π‘£π‘–π‘π‘Ÿπ‘Žπ‘‘π‘’π‘ .

i spend my days
pouring myself into the cups of others

only to find that
when it’s time for myself
to take a sip

all that’s left
in my cup
is the remainder of a girl
who gave too much
self care is extremely important. most days I fight my depression by putting smiles onto others faces, but forgetting about my once bright smile.

i'm so blunt
you could smoke
my truth.
