i’m tired of hating myself.

i just wish i could know the me that everyone else sees.
i wanna see the me that people see as a safe space,
the me that people look up to,
the me that people fall in love with.

i want to see someone i wouldn’t hate every time i go to wash my face and see myself in the mirror.
the one who doesn’t cry every night.
the one who sleeps.

i wanna see the beautiful person i hear so much about.
until i get to actually see that me, everything good i hear about me is a lie

i can’t let you fade away (like everyone else)
you have to stay (don’t go)
you’re the only one who knows the hurt (you were the hurt)
don’t fade away.

caress my scars as if they didn’t bleed out.
understand the days i say i can not get out of bed & play with my hair & hold me.
remind me that you are not him.
learn to help me with my triggers & flashbacks.
learn to love me.
