My therapist told me that I had an addictive personality.
I blew her off thinking it was all *******.
But what I didn't realise was how easy it was for me to get addicted to
People
            Actions
                         Feelings
No matter what I did it became addictive.
The sight of a certain person.
      The thoughts that should keep me up at night.
            Everything.
Now I think about how she right because everything was an addiction, being addicted was just another addiction.

They asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, and I said an Astronaut. They smiled and said that's cute.
I was 6 then.
They asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, and I said a Marine Biologist. They laughed and said you'll need to work hard dear.
I was 9 then.
They asked me what I wanted to be  when I grow up, and I said an Architect. They smirked and said oh really, that seems pretty far.
I was 12 then.
They asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up, and I said a Writer. They looked at me and said sweetie you'll never make good money there.
I was 15 then.
If I can't aspire to be what I want to be when I grow up then why bother to grow up at all?

Goodbye and see you never
Lost Nov 2015
It was nice talking to you, it really was.
If you didn't believe me when I said I wasn't going to try if you weren't going to, you will now, because this is my last goodbye to you.
Hope you have a nice life cause I'm leaving it.
I don't want to know someone who only talks to me when no one else will talk to you, I have enough of that already.
I hope you get all the happiness you want because you were nice enough while I knew you.
I hope you live out your life and you get married and have kids and friends who love you dearly because I know I won't.
I hope you enjoy every minute because you and I both know what hell feels like.
I hope no one treats you like **** and ignores you when you've just really want  to talk to them.
Goodbye, it was fun while it lasted.

They...
Lost Nov 2015
They prescribe medicine that's supposed to "fix" us,
                       They create wars that are supposed to "help" us,
They send us to schools to try and "teach" us,
                        They give us news to "inform" us,
     but
          why
               can't
                    They
                         tell
                              us
                               ­    the truth
                               instead
                         of
                    what      
                They
          want
     us to
know?

How can I shatter your world without leaving a single scratch?
How can I guilt trip you into making you happy?
How can I make you cry without a single tear?

You're the snake I caught
Lost Nov 2015
I caught this snake, I stared and stared at it
And with it came strange sense of déjà vu
Until I realized it reminded me of you
How quick it was to switch sides
How clever it was, at first I thought it was dead
And those beady eyes, god those eyes, they made me recount every horrible thing I had done.

The colourful people
Lost Oct 2015
The blue haired girl walked to her eternal sleep
The red haired boy cried himself into the temporary blackness
The black hearted girl pierced the weak with her words
The gold hearted boy stops their crying
The orange haired girl thinks her breaths are wasted
The yellow haired boy has scars from an invisible battle
The green hearted boy stopped eating
The pink hearted girl convinced him to eat again

It's been three years
Lost Oct 2015
I know it's been a day since you died but I still think you're alive.
I know it's been a month since you died but I still cry at the mention of your name.
I know it's been five months but I still get angry everytime someone says that they're sorry for my loss.
I know it's been eight months but I still see a ghost of the memory of you.
I know it's been thirteen months but I still worry about everyone you left behind.
I know it's been seventeen months but I still think you're going to come back.
I know it's been twenty four months but I still regret never saying goodbye.
I know it's been twenty eight months but I still cry in the middle of the night.
I know it's been thirty three months but I still crave your hug.
I know it's been thirty six months but I still remember every minute I had with you.
It's been three years without seeing your face,
                hearing your voice.
It's been three years and I still miss you like hell.

What is home?
Lost Oct 2015
Home is the music that flows through my headphones.
Home is the embrace of my favourite person.
Home is the only place I know I'm safe at.
My music tells me it'll be okay, that the tragedy of the day is over, and if it isn't then it'll be over soon.
My embrace reminds me that I'll never be alone, and even if I am I still have him to run to.
My home has changed many times, and I know it won't be the same in a couple years, but home will always be home as long as there is love.

Stop, breathe, think
Lost Oct 2015
How do you respond to an I don't know?
I hear his doubt, but is it real?
If he didn't want me why not say so?
I guess I didn't give him enough reason to stay, because if he wants her then why stay with me?
Stop
You're overthinking this
Your anxiety will take over
Just stop
Breath
Logic, you have it, use it.
Everything will be fine
*just think it through

You
Lost Oct 2015
You
I saw this couple today and it made me think of me and you.
It made me think of how much I missed you, and how much I wanted to see your face again.
To kiss your lips.
To wrap my arms tightly around you.
To breathe in your comforting smell.
I know I'm probably too clingy, but I just want to hold your hand and have your presence by my side again.
I don't know if you miss me in the same way.
Or if you even long to hear my voice.
So I won't mention the way I miss you when you're gone.
I'll continue to say it's fine when you say "I can't make it today."
Even though I hadn't seen you in weeks.
Because in all honesty I really don't deserve you.

I lied
Lost Oct 2015
Maybe* I could hold on for just one more night, but there are so many things I'd rather miss out on like the feeling of being alone while I'm suffocating in a crowd.
But I can see I've brought you to tears so I'll try to fight it but I can't promise you I'll win.
It's weird to think that so many people believe the same lie that I'm fine but I guess that they didn't care enough to be bothered to think whether it was true or not.
So now my eyes are watering too and I can barely see the page and I know that you can't stand me anymore so I guess *I'll leave you to grieve the old me.

Gone.
Lost Oct 2015
Maybe I lost you the day they said you would have to leave.
Maybe I lost you the day you couldn't remember my name only my face.
Maybe I lost you the day you started to be devoured in pain day after day.
Maybe I lost you the day you couldn't write anymore.
Maybe I lost you the day you couldn't speak anymore.
Maybe I lost you the night I never said goodbye.
Maybe I lost you the day of the funeral.
Or maybe I never had you to begin with.

She
Lost Oct 2015
She
There's a girl crying
I can see her perfectly:
Long red hair
Piercing green eyes
The palest skin you'll ever see
Always listening to music; like its her lifeline, her oxygen.
The scars you'll never see on her thighs.
And the memory of accidents all over her; on her face, her arm, her legs.
The more I look at her the more I realise this girl is me.
And the reason she- I am crying is because of you, your abusive eyes.
You may not even be looking at me, but I am for certain that you're judging me, as if you were God on my judgement day.
And for that I couldn't forgive you, but just know I don't blame you.

People full of lies
Lost Oct 2015
They make you feel like you fit in
but you don't, you never have, and most likely
you never will.
So don't even bother with trying,
most likely they'll laugh at you behind your back
and tell you how stupid and ugly you are with pointed glares.
They'll snicker at you while saying you look amazing today,
but you know they're lying.
*You just know they are.
