I am like a rose, I need light to grow and water to feel nourished, but without sunlight, I die, and I'm worthless
This is how I feel everyday

It's like when you can't tell
if a light is on or
it's just reflecting off another source

You're the flame
To my moth.
My burnt wings
Crumble
And still I come back;
A glutton for punishment.
Sing me your
Lullaby of lies,
That I may
Hide my shame
And pretend once more
That I will pretend
No more.

Growing up hurts.

It's the time when we discover that there are monsters scarier than those who hid under our bed :
                                              humans.

Now, every time I’m in a public place, I am scared.

Scared that there may be a monster in that crowd, one who
                                                  steals,
                                                       rapes,
                                                             murders.

And for a person like me, who liked to think that the world is a beautiful place where everyone is, in the deepest of their hearts, a good person...

                                                      ­*it hurts.
I wrote that after I came back home from a bus ride, where a man decided that it was okay to put his hand on my leg. It is not okay.

Breathe,
              they told me.

But how am I supposed to breathe when my lungs are filled with so much hate; my mouth with so many unspoken words?

                                                I *can't
breathe.

Because everytime I do, my heart aches a little more, my eyes fill up with tears that I didn't want to spill anymore.

- Be strong,
                  they said.

The problem is,
                         I can't.
Because nothing in my life makes sense anymore.

I don't know.
                     I don't know.
                                         I don't know.
He told me he is giving her roses.

The boy, who yesterday I finally admitted I love.

The boy, who the day before that , kissed me.

The boy, who a week before that told me I was his forever, and I said the same.

The boy, who has my heart.

Is giving her roses...
I could hear my heart shattering
