some say I'm nosy
but I disagree
I think my problem is that I care
too much
I want to fix everyone
and to do that I must know everything
until it becomes obsessive
how do I stop caring so much

what is love
I do not know
maybe I am destined
to never know
it's touch

Sometimes the memories
Need to roll down my cheek
Before I can let them go
So, so many bad ones that they are jumbling up. I want to just press "delete all" but this is the closest thing to that I guess (except for death but that rant is for another day)

blackened eyes
vicious rage
I flinch away
pinned under your glare
I feel like less then nothing
I look up at you
through a haze of tears
and watch your form
shift into something
unrecognizable
there you are again
the monster of my story

no matter how many times we say it
or how much we mean it
those people will never understand
that being a sad person
doesn't make you a bad person
that there doesn't need to be
trauma
there doesn't need to be
a reason
sadness is a feeling
it's not just a reaction
can't they see?
can't they see that only a person with so much hurt
and so much pain
can drag scissors across their arm?
can press that
blade
down on their SKIN
until it rips and blood beads
and mingles with tears of desperation
how can they not see that
there doesn't need to be a cause for the crippling
depression?
I can
because I feel it too.
sometimes you just need to be sad
so the happy days feel all the more brighter
everybody feels different
what might be a small ordeal to someone
might be the world ending to another
you
aren't
a
bad
person.
you
are
just
a
sad
person.
so please please please
throw away those awful blue things
you know what I mean
you don't need that reminder
please please please
put the sharp things away
not for me, for you
wear your scars
they are
tally
marks
of
the days you have overcome
you don't have to be ashamed
if people want to be ashamed for you
that's
their
problem
they are yours
they are all the reminders you need
of how
beautiful
and strong
and resilient
you are
because you keep fighting every
single
day
and that's more than I can say for most.
I will never stop caring.
I will never stop being here.
so please
let
your
world
BEGIN
everyday.
The days will hurt
Nights will sting
but you must never forget
how happiness sings.
Please.

I hope you know this is for you. Stay strong. You've got this. I'm always here for you.

I don't burst into tears
I fall into tears
silently
gracefully
like a practiced maneuver
like a missing piece falling back into place
I fall into tears
like they can somehow protect me

Our hearts carry words, and words carry meaning,
Behind every meaning, there’s a feeling,
Sometimes they heal, sometimes they wound,
Sometimes they’re spoken, sometimes buried.
Yet no matter where they linger or hide,
They shape, they matter, they cannot be denied.

Feelings create words,
Words are said, but sometimes they’re kept,
Sometimes they bring relief, sometimes they bring regret instead,
But what can we do once they’re out?

Words and feelings are always entwined,
Both can soothe, both can sting in kind.
It’s not the words alone that decide their weight,
But the tone, the moment, the meaning we create.

So how do you know what they made you feel?
Look to your heart’s quiet response – there lies what’s real.
