My life is surrounded
by people armed by me,
loaded guns aimed at my heart.

Every time they leave,
I'm shot.
I bleed out for awhile
depending on who it is
Some guns are smaller
some are bigger  
but I always get repaired

You however didn't have a gun
I placed a whole nuke in your hands
It was never supposed to go off
Wasn't meant to end like this
And when you set it off
I wasn't prepared for the blast

I didn't get to bleed
Most of me is scorched and black
Shrapnel buried deep inside
the pieces that stayed in tact

Other Pieces flew places
Some of them, you must've grabbed

I'll never heal
from this wound
and Ill never get those pieces back
Im sorry for making you hurt and sorry that I pushed you to set off the nuke.

I love you,
most say these words are powerful.
Love is such a strong word,
to just be saying it.
I mean it,
I do not care if you look at me different.
I have BPD,
and sometimes my loyalty disgusts me.
When I feel betrayed,
I still would not try to unlove you.
I may push you off the pedestal,
but you are still good,
I cherish you.
If you need me,
I don't hesitate,
I love you!
I learned the way I love,
is the same love I be missing.
They say my love can be toxic,
I can become possessive.
I have worked ******* managing my love,
I love near and far.
Love is all I am made of,
Love is all I want to give you.
BPD and Love, it is such a complex duo if you ask me. The rollercoaster of emotions I have with my friendships & relationships eventually exhaust me. During my 20's I spent majority of the time searching for love. The struggles I faced were, I was loving the wrong person, or my possessiveness & jealousy would get in the way. This year I have entered my 30's & my goal is to redirect my love to myself.  It will be hard, and you will struggle, but give yourself patience's. Learn how to really love yourself. Some advice for all of my BPD readers.

i do get sad,
just like everyone else,
i do get mad,
& i do get glad.
the three basic emotions,
i seem to rotate.
it interferes with my
creativity.
i start sounding like a broken record,
& i could almost sense the eyes rolling back,
"here she goes again, with all that!"
it's a notion i get.
it's my insecurity,
the little voice in my head that tells me,
"you are not good enough for poetry!"
One of the symptoms of BPD I struggle the most with is, my distorted self-image. I get so insecure still trying to "fit in," and I also feel a slight cringe when I do because I am 30 years old; I feel stuck having a teenager mentality. I want to expand my creativity. (maybe i am helping others by just writting whatever comes to mind)

The knife glints under the dim bulb,
its silver tongue whispering
how easy it would be
to open what aches inside me.

I brace my hand,
press down slowly,
feel the skin split,
hear the soft tear,
watch red bloom
across the board
in trembling pools.

I cut again, and again,
shards falling like thoughts
I can’t keep straight,
my breath coming faster,
the smell rising sharp,
green and raw,
like the earth itself.

I tell myself
this isn’t what it looks like,
though it feels like release.
All this mess,
all this red,
all this trembling,
only
vegetables.
18:11pm / The cutting board looks like a right mess

Who am I?
Well, who are you?
Standing there
Telling me what to do

Forgive my stare
Its just that I can tell
What you're here to sell
Is not the truth

Who I am
Who I am to you
And the difference between the two

One is real,
But the other is easier to chew
Who are you?

wishing I was dead
never worked out
in the end
Life and Death were friends
who needed me
just as I,
had always needed them
Even when it's bad.
oh mom
I used to know
you
gave me a pencil sharpener yesterday
I´m starting to wonder if you know anything about me
oh mom
have you seen my wrists lately?
you´ve known for years
and you gave me a sharpener
Oh I wonder I wonder

I don't know if it makes sense,
                       but I'll feel it anyway.
Find trust inside myself,
                       hear what I've had to say.
Something inside me has always known,
                       when the grounds are due to shake, when the tide begins to grow.
I beg myself at my own feet,
                        Forgive Me! now knowing why she pushed retreat.
After all this time I can start to see,
                       I was always looking out for me.
And my hands, shaking but sure
               look squeaky clean.
And I'm willing to bet,
               that they always were.
I did everything I could.
I'll do everything I can.

remember when you use to video call me,
we would be chatting for hours.
that's when you use to talk to me.
i could barely get a text back now,
but it's all my fault, there's my accountability.
i really took things for granted.
that phrase i always say pops up,
if you are not meant to be my lover,
i hope that you can still be my best friend.
i want to blame it on one thing but i could only blame myself.
i hope you see my actions i am really trying to break these bad habits.
moments like this i question the universe. why was i taken for granted, only for my karma to be me taking someone else for granted? cycle seems to never end.
