i’m looking for clyde  
together we'll **** time
he’ll distract me with his AK
i’ll use him and he'll know it
but he'll be OK with it

i want him to know
that i
don't want you to know
that i
care as much about you as
i do

and we’ll both be lying
it’s never one sided
i'll distract him with my problems
he’ll use me and i'll know it
and i'll have no problem with it

he wants me to know
that he
doesn’t want bonnie to know
that he
cares as much about her as
i do
about you

low • self–es•teem | \ˈlō\ˈself-ə-ˈstēm\ | (abbr.: Rx)
(n.)
1 the act of rejecting yourself before anyone beats you (to it).
2 the result of refusing your worth before anyone adds “-less” at the end:           i am worthless.
                                                     ­                                                 <ORIGIN>  fear.

the moment we give
anything value
we agree
to fight for it;
to give up
anything
for it

but i have no shame
i value nothing
i forfeit long ago
i admitted it
i gave up
i have no fight
left in this
shameful
little petite body
that’s mine

the anger
stopped
the day

i
accepted
defeat

some call it denial
others, rejection
call it what you will

i
call it
dependence
on the
chemical reaction
sitting in the
beautiful
little medicine cabinet
that's mine.

i'd tell 8 year old me
that she is strong
and that right is never
ever
wrong
i’d save her (from a) life  
catch her nightmares
and her plagued thoughts
her daily mournings  
and high mornings
and her struggles
in reminiscing
and fixating
over little clothes
she used to own
o n e  d i s t a n t  d a y
in a land far
                      far
                           far
away
that were once like her
free
and free
of stains

instant gratification is so good
but
just wait for its disgusting aftertaste

stay up with me please
stay silent like me
let’s be quiet like death
let’s live as one in peace
i want to hear you breathe
just let me hear you
    exhale
  inhale
    exhale
  inhale
stay, i’m so restless
my headrest, your chest
resurrects me beneath stars
just let me listen, please
you help me just by breathing
just let me hear you
    exhale
  inhale
    exhale
  inhale
i feel your heart, it pounds  
my ears pound with its throbs
the pounding in my head
beats down my heart’s rhythm
but there's peace in your breath
just you can hear me
  inhale
    exhale
  inhale
    exhale
    stay up with me please
    your beatings mend my pieces
    i’ll meet death halved and peace-less  
    if for one moment you leave me
    with lungs that gasp for air
    and no exhales to breathe in

shy away from the negativity, i don't care
i used to but i can see you'll see your day
and even though i wish i was a malicious *******
i pray reluctantly that you find someone to bear your pain
when you see your day
