I like to write when my heart hurts
It just feels better like poking at a wound waiting for it to bleed

I often said that I don’t epitomize you I see you for what you really are
And I’ve always believed that people have the potential to hurt me
And yet I let you in
I let you unwind my insides and stain my being
and here you are

Reminding me of him
The him that manipulated me that forced me to lose myself the me that untangled my thoughts and used it as a noose to keep me on a short leash

You’re making me beg for love
You’re making me break
Stop breaking me
I want to touch your cheeks and feel your kindness
Are you possessed ? Should we call and exosist to remove this sadness to remove this ugly person that is withdrawn and lacks excitement
I want my rayhaan back
The one that holds me and tells me I’m enough
Not the one who pushes me to the ledge and makes me feel like I need to fight to be seen
I’m sad to write this today
Because I could never write about you before
Because you never hurt my heart

I’m scared now
But time will tell
Maybe all love turns ugly with time
Maybe I make people ugly
Maybe I deserve the harshness
Maybe I am just not enough.

The above talks about my vulnerability
It’s strange how they’re starting to arise
Because I feel myself telling my brain I told you so
You’re so dumb
Everyone knew this would come
Why didn’t you listen
You should have just believed that’s no matter what rules you put and how hard you try
Everyone fails at marriage
Or maybe it’s hereditary
Maybe it’s woman in this family
Maybe we possess a switch that turns men off
From loving us
Or maybe we’re excited by the trauma of love
Maybe we can’t accept the kindness of it all

And maybe we’re all just destined to unhappiness
For all the ugly sins we commit

I miss writing
But just like breathing and eating
It’s a chore to accomplish and if I don’t
It’s a failure

I’m lying
I’m no longer obsesssive over sadness but when the neurons in my mind spark the wrong way I electrocuted into a nothing
A vegetable in a stunning garden with the rays of my person permeating onto my corpuscles and the violent silence
The lack of my mothers warmth is making me freeze
A block of purée a orange blob

Why do I continue to prescribe by being to nothing when the rays aim to elevate my status to heaven
Why do I self deprecate
I used to write so well and this poem is everywhere and no where and I’m being honest and I’m scrambling my mind is going to burst ahhhh
A label quick find it....
Anxious, scared ... defeat, nothing , fail , oblivioun
AHUT UP I’m tired
I want to sleep
I want to hold the rays hand his warm mum come here , don’t leave me
I’ve left me too
Find me
I’m here
Screaming for help
What am I suffering from
CAN ANY BODY HEAR MEE

Shhh
Watch the door ****
Is it turning ?
Is it a monster ?
...
Why are you quiet?
Are you scared little girl?
You’re so weak sitting there wrapped in your little blanket?
Do i make you nervous ? Haha I’m just asking if you’re okay

“Mommy I need you , come save me “ I need to be held away from the man of the house
He’s not ordinary right now
He’s a toxic mix of all ***** drugs and I don’t know when his gonna blow

Baba come hold me I know you cry too but you are stronger and not scared andyiu know how to survive in a mad house
Thank you for looking after the little baby
She likes you and how your entire hand fits on her face
You’re not gonna save her
She’s a little lost right now maybe a little to scared or nervous she feels alone even though she can feel your hand on her head, caressing it slowly till she fades
I see faces with cross eyes in my head
Why? I want to stab your eyes they serve no purpose

Hi I’m writing this addressed to my followers but I’m addressing it to myself because my internal processing has had a bit of a jam recently and I’d like to live up the machinery and hope that the thoughts flow, the feelings flow, I flow .

Mental illness can be as extreme as cancer where it devours your entire body and makes you lay in bed all day not wanting to eat or speak to people or just be awake because the suffering feels too overwhelming.

Or it can be like a small little bump on your head it can hurt you’ll cry but you can go through the day until you are reminded of the pain of the little bump
Both are valid and both hurt

I have an emotional matrurity and understanding beyond many my age and this allows my brain to work at a faster pace ( this doesn’t mean I’m a smarty pants ) but I see things and I over analyze everything and I make issues where there aren’t none just to feed the cancer because it feeds me . I twist words and hurt people that are good to me because I don’t feel good enough for them .
Baby I’m talking about you sometimes I don’t feel enough for you. You do so much and I feel inadequate to anything you do .
And I feel like your mum knows it too .
And it’s not your fault or hers it’s mine. It’s mine for being weak and not believing that I’m worthy of such a pure strong love.
I miss you and I miss myself
I feel like I’m fading in my head . There’s a spaceship going somewhere away from here and I want to jump on.

Why can’t people choose me over the things that harm them
Yummy chooses him and it hurts my heart he always chooses drugs and that hurts her

I hurt you baby because you are good and I’m not used to good I’m used to being pushed to the side
You see me and that scares me
Thank you for looking after me
My cheeks are wet now , come play on my surface come dance on me
Feel exotic I’ll touch you back but just a tease because we both know I’m a little jacked up in the department of giving
I can’t give myself to you to touch maybe it’s too vulnerable
Let me dance for you
Naked.
Let me feel how you feel in the most divine way
Let’s become one body.
Stop it hurts
I’m selfish
I want to be alone
Leave me alone
Nothing
Go.
I don’t deserve you
I’m awful
I need to get better before I lose myself and you can’t find me
Run in the cancer
I’ll spread to you

Sickness surrounds me
I can feel the germs penetrating inside me and exploding
Leaving evidence ...
drip dripping out of me I was as the disease leaves my body and I am cleansed I am new
I am invigorated by what I see in that sick infused room
I am left with a softness as I watch a father holding his new baby in one hand and how you watched with such awe maybe one day I will mother your children you will look at me with more starry filled eyes than now
I heard a teenage girl argue with her mom about a name for her new sibling
This poem is really bad but I’m sick and there’s so much health within me

Parallel personalities
a man that can make you laugh through his belly flops on warm water across acres of rice fields
Or someone who gives so much he no longer bleeds
He is poor because of his giving his left empty, dried out .. imagine how his veins feel as the pleasantly crack open to the feeling of other being content

Now imagine this man turned
As if a demon possesses him , or as if he has had a psychotic break
How could something so alluring turn into something you fear so much little girl
Look at me you coward , you can’t can you?
You’re weak at the knees as your caps are heavy with disappointment
You tell others not to hope but inside you it glimmers for the euphoria to stick
For him to hold your mum , ( she’s yours again ) and kiss her quietly and loudly to make it known that she’s his

But now his run away in the streets to his doctor to get his vitamins or cup of tea or maybe for a massage where his throughly moisturized .
Just to be away from what is good
He runs from what’s good
Because he self destructs
3,2,1
Becareful babe his explosion can hurt you unless you run ...

Run fast and run far
Into your safety
To you warm bed where the kindest hands touch your spine it sounds quite basic but you’re too mighty to describe with words
You send me to a plain where all I experience is safety
Thank you for securing me
Thank you for loving me
I can feel your fingerprints indenting onto my cheeks I love how you touch my skin as if it’s silk
I know how you obsess over how things feel
I can smell you come closer
Devour me
Make my blood warm
Make me flow
I am yours
You are mine
I will hold you until you stop shaking until you are nothing but raw in my arms
I will make sure my palms are covered in lavender so that you feel soothness
I want to love you so hard you pull your hair out
I want to love you until you melt and become intertwined with me
You are light
Shining through the leaves
( my favorite sight when I’m sad )
I watch you glimmer through the green as I sit on the floor and watch you in awe
You have absorbed me
Taken me whole
I love you forever , I am bind to your soul until time will stand still
Goodbye for now safety
I’ll see you again when my hands touch paper and you will live and dance and glide slowly across the pages like the dancers I like to watch

Poets I am calling out to you?
I have a question?
Do you gain exhaustion after you write after months of bottling ink inside you?

Does it feel like a sort of tired pleasure ? A sort of burst from your inside , leaving you so drained but so pleased ?
Like an organism dripping from your soul? Does expression make you wet?
