i just want to know
has my life been worth the fight.
i have died a thousand times,
just wondering.
am i really cut out to be something?
am i going to make a change?
nope, probably not.
i don't matter to people.
one day i'll be gone and dalton and morgan and meagan and stefanie and zac will all forget about me.
the only reason they talk to me is because i let it slip that i was feeling particularly suicidal that day.
the stories didn't help, i don't care about how you got kicked out of school for a month for showing up trashed.
it's not the same as what i go through. i appreciate the effort but please stop.
one day i'll be gone, and dalton and morgan and meagan and stefanie and zac, will forget about me.
oh how i hate fourth block math.

everything is dumb
gender is dumb
sexuality is dumb
school is dumb
everything is just dumb
why can't i just stay inside all day and sleep
i can deal with the bed sores
**** it i'd take those over algebra two honors any day.
why can't i just live how i like, without people telling me i'm wrong.

whenever i'm around her
i just shake in the knees
she's so cute
gah, why does she have to be so cute
whenever i'm around her
i just want to fall to the ground
gripping my chest
screaming
"it's not fair, why are you so cute"
you see i do stupid things like that
whenever i'm around you
i say ultra dumb things
it's become predictable
it's become annoying.
but she puts up with me
and she smiles
wow what a cute smile
i could spend all day
drawing her smile
her love would just **** me

suicide.
something i think about everyday.
but i won't go through with it.
i'd have to do a lot before i could even think about it.
i'd have to write a novel, to each and everybody whom i've ever interacted with
so they know how i was feeling at the time
and what i was thinking
so they aren't left to question.
i'd have to pick a way to die too of course.
i've thought of overdosing, lighting myself on fire, drowning, heck i've thought of it all.
but which is the way i want to go
i want my death to say something, about me
i want it to lead people to questioning
how was my life?
i want it to be unique
i only get one chance to die
may as well make it fantastic.

well i do,
and it's sad.
guys treat girls like ****.
just to get in bed with them
guys will blame women for everything that happens to them
but it's never the guys fault
oh no
he was provoked
by her clothing
she was inebriated, so i thought that gave me licence to have my way with her!
why is it whenever a guy is sexually assaulted
you don't hear about the clothing he wore
or about how much alcohol was in his system
it's just a
"you're such a strong brave soul, god bless you"
why is it people treat women like ****
why?
it's dumb.
i get really ******, about all of it.
i get really ****** that people assume i'm gay, because i won't holler at women and make them extremely uncomfortable
i just wan't to be courteous, why is that considered homosexual?
why is being homosexual a bad thing?
why is it i'm held to a certain type of stereotype
why are women held against even more stereotypes?
that's horrible.

imahipsterbuffalo asked you:*
It gets better. I promise. You're not alone. You're beautiful and irreplaceable. Remember that.*

you tell that to everybody, don't you?
this seems so rehearsed, so calm. like you really don't care.
why even bother messaging me if you're not going to say anything original at all.
Jim Carballo Mar 2013
you are my motivation, for everything.
the reason i begged so hard
to move back home
even though this move wasn't too terrible
was you.
you don't like me, that's fine
i don't mind it.
i just want you to be in my life.
doesn't matter if we're just friends, or whatever the **** we call it.
i love you.
i love you i love you i love you.
i hope you know i do
and i always will
i
love
you.

i'm not him
although our names are similar, i suppose?
but we're very different.
one of the things is, he's the apple of your eye
he's there with you
and i'm stuck down here, in another state.
oh how i hope he doesn't take that privilege for granted.
i understand though, what's not to like about him?
what's there to like about me?
i'm not bitter. just upset.
because i was never really "over you"
i wasn't ever really "in love" with you.
i'm in love with the idea of being together though
oh, what a fairy tale!
i'm down here, suffering.
because i don't get the chance to see that lovely face of yours.
i'm not love sick, i'm dying for love.
your love,
oh how sweet it would be.

dear friend(s)
do not worry, about what they say
you aren't *different.

don't let them bring you down just because of your preferences.
it isn't your fault you like girls, or boys, or dress a certain way.
*don't believe them.
you are not a sin.
you are a child.
in love.

it really ***** you know, being afraid of every possible little thing that could and would and might happen.

it dictates my life, and just as soon as i feel like i'm going to break through this, and get better, and start looking forward to living, i slip and fall and have to start lower from where i was originally. the other bad part about this is nobody really knows, it isn't about family life or friends or school.

it's how i'm feeling inside.

it stinks.

why am i so afraid of everyone else

why am i afraid to just be myself?

why can't i get out of bed without thinking of immediate suicide?

why am i asking so many questions?

why am i too tired to pick up the knife, and lash at my legs.

heck i might even do it on my stomach

but no, that's too much work.

why must i worry about what others see on my body, it's my body, isn't it dumb how people will intervene, and make you feel worse

because you harm yourself?

it isn't their body, it's mine. mine all mine. the one thing in this world that is truly mine, that is truly ME. something i can create or destroy in a matter of seconds.

why do i have to be worried so much? why can't i just admit it? i'm a wreck.

all i am is broken, and you can try to fix me, and glue the pieces back together.

but in the end i'll end up breaking the same exact way, except this time with more cracks and shards.

everyone tells me i'm a coward, i have no bravery. i'm so cowardly that i feel like i have to die.

they don't understand how right they are.

why am i so afraid, of my friends?

people who constantly remind me that, they do in fact love me, every single day of every single week of every single month of every single year, they tell me that.

why do i not believe them? i get constant reassurance, is it just that hard to accept it?

no, it isn't.

i'm just being difficult.

i have to cut it out.

i'm nothing.

but a disease.

do you know how many times i have logged on to my blog
feeling weak
not feeling like scrolling through and liking pictures of cats.
and i just try to vent, you know?
get it all out.
but no. i get the dumbest messages.
"don't **** yourself! please!!! i love your blog too much!"
"NO!!! YOU CAN'T DO IT PLEASE DON'T BE DEAD YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.
I FORBID YOU "
as if you could tell me what to do, as if my blog is more important to you than the actual person running it
please.
i delete the messages on the spot.
that's what i like about this site.
no one follows me, no one knows me.
i can talk and talk and talk all day and nobody will see.

i was appalled by it
cut cut cut
why would anyone ask that
popping pills
they said they wanted to know because they were looking to do it too
taking too much laxative so i'll make myself sick
i said no
ripping body hair out
why would i consciously let someone hurt themselves
ripping  the hair on my head out
that's wrong
clawing at my arms
why even ask me?
burning myself on the stove
i won't tell you.

i just want to live in a small little cottage
in alaska
studying giant squid and sharks
with three dogs.
a husky, a samoyed and a great pyreneese.
and a beautiful little girl, named valerie.
valerie is my dream, she's one of the reasons i'm excited to have kids.
she's going to be great, i can just tell.
i already love her.
but i don't want her to grow up to resent me
all kids end up hating their parents
and moving to some obscure place
like alaska.
please, valerie. don't hate me.
i will love you unconditionally.
no one's going to hurt my baby girl
please, baby, i promise you
you can tell me whatever.
i won't judge you.
you can be queer, trans, whatever.
i'll call you vladimir if you want.
anything, you can be anything.
i'll love you forever.
please
valerie
please come soon.
Jim Carballo Mar 2013
it comes naturally to me
i don't know why
i like the way it rolls off my tongue
the taste it leaves on my mouth
after it's been said.
sometime's i'll just say it out of nowhere
it makes sense to me.
it's as simple as breathing
and just as necessary too.

— The End —
