Smiling is so overrated
And so is shedding tears

If I smile then I'm fake
If I cry then I'm weak

I will lock away all my emotions
And be the broken shadow no one notices

Maybe if I'm strong enough
I'll break away
From this world

Maybe if I'm thin enough
I'll slip through the cracks
And be free

Maybe if I cut enough
I'll bleed the bad out
And be happy for once

Maybe if I try enough
It will actually be okay
Not fake like now

Maybe if I cry enough
I'll make an ocean of tears
And swim away

*Maybe
Maybe....

That moment when your brain betrays your heart

It happens in slow motion


and all you can do is watch.
These moments are not easily forgotten

"Don't throw away a diamond to pick up a rock".
He wanted a mystery
And not history.

" you'll never miss a good thing until its gone".
He left me.
Now he miss me.

That mystery he wanted wasn't so mysterious after all.
When he realized it was too late.

You're worth it baby girl❤️.
He left for someone else, but when it was nothing how he thought it would be. He realized what he had let go.

My dad read one of my poems
I just recently wrote.
He said "baby you sound really heart broken."
You have no idea,
My heart has been played with, trampled on and thrown away like trash.
