I want to love myself
I need me more
than I need anyone else
for if I did not exist
I would not need anyone

I want to love myself
I want me more
than anyone else does
and if I do not want me
why would anyone else?

I want to love myself
so I can say
I love me more
than anyone else
for if I do not love myself
Why the hell would you?

So dark, so very dark
but I hear a voice
and I can feel a breeze
but I don't know where I am
all I know is that I'm alone surrounded by people

I can hear people calling my name
Since I lost my sight nothing is the same

I didn't just lose my vision, I lost so much more
My independence
my job
my confidence
my self-esteem
I will never get to live my childhood dream

It's hard to only see one color for the rest of time
BLACK
no color, just
BLACK
Someone very close to me

I stare at the orderly letters that have caused so much pain.
my fingers linger over the only thing separating us.
I press down.
the empty sound echoes through my brain.
I can hear my nerves in my chest.
beating faster as the seconds pass.
the sound of rejection is all I can make out.
I slide my thoughts onto the floor and let it sink in that I am just a forgotten mess of emotions.
once loved but now just the taste of hurt.
I can't bare it anymore.
I'm broken.

the amount of love amazes the seeker,
she loves more than he can,
and he gives more than she can take,
the love is endless in the heart of the ones loved,
yet not seen in the mind of others.
none relatable to the thoughts spinning around
with the battle in their stomach fighting to the death
they promise to be infinity.

they love her
they love her not
they love her
they love her not
does she have the right reasons to love such a love once loved by another
or does she have the thought of worthlessness on the tip of her mind.
should she jump for joy when she accepts the love being given
or should she wither away and hide in the darkness of her heart
should she believe such a lie as to be ones love
or should she fall for the truth behind the ultimate feelings
should she be scared to believe what he says is true
or should she follow her brain and not her heart and save the hurt waiting ahead
in the end she has always loved him but he has been blinded by society telling him she's not ideal
she's not the one
before the love can be loved and accepted by the other
it's already torn from the ones heart and given to another
one that's picture perfect
one that's acceptable by the eyes of the people
one that's not judged
by the personality
or the mass
or the pain
or the beauty
but by stereotypes created by the programmed robots controlling the minds of the ones that believe they are independent.
they are blinded by fake love
fake laughs
fake beliefs
fake feelings
they believe they are falling for one but in reality are falling for the other.
they want to fit in so bad they tell theirselves it's all in their head.
it's just a faze.
it will pass.
they will lie to theirselves and make theirselves believe that what they're feeling isn't real.
they will hurt the one true love they've ever had, just to be right in the eyes of others.
but what happens when the stereotypes start to change.
will they change their perspective on that person or change their perspective of theirselves.
will they start to believe they aren't good enough for someone.
that they won't ever be loved.
that they will always be alone.
will they be the one forgotten by everyone.
will they feel worthless and ugly and feel the only one who cares is the one they go home and say goodnight to?
will they turn into her.
will they finally feel the pain she's been living.
who knows.
because society will always judge you.
on looks
weight
personality.
it's like a never ending war between being perfect or not enough.
you can never win.
so in the end it was decided that they love her not and they never will.

the words being spoken are just lies swimming away from their death.
They retreat and spin in circles like its the hardest thing ever.
they cant see eachother because they are different
they dont accept eachother into their worlds because they have never seen it before
the change happening is what they are scared of.
they are scared of the similarity.
they are scared of the voices being screamed at them.
they are scared of the words.
they are scared of the truth.
it wont be accepted but covered with the glare of hate.
they are not what they want to be
they are someone else
someone hated
someone shamelessly hiding in the shadows not wanting to be seen by the better
they are wanting an escape
but cant find the right door to the right place
they are stuck in someones shoes
and the shoes are too small
they are running but stopping every other second because it hurts
the sizes are shrinking and so is their minds.
they cant grasp the idea of indifference
and it slowly kills them
