Dear WickedHope,
You are a beautiful shade of exquisite.
I have read you poetry and it saved my wrist many times.
From harm that I would have inflicted.
Your poetry has made me feel less alone.
Your words that you wrote
The words made out of you
The emotions that you sculpted with letters
Have saved me from myself
Many times
And you are so strong
So beautiful inside and out
So deserving of love
And it sounds like you have gotten hurt
A thousand more times
Than anyone could ever deserve
I genuinely admire you
I want to recognize you for your flawless poetry
And your unbelievable strength
Dealing with all that you have
And being brave enough
To wear the mask we all do when we have burdens
To keep secrets you don’t deserve to be forced to keep
I just want you to know
I can’t love you on a personal level
Because I do not know you on a personal level
But I love you as a poet
And I really hope
One day
You learn to love yourself as you deserve to be loved
And someone loves you the way you deserve to be loved
Stay brave and beautiful inside out.
<3
Causing bigger and more severe problems
That spiral outward like my depression
Taking out everyone, everything around me
Except I'm still here, and that's unacceptable
-WickedHope
This scares me. It also shatters my heart. You are so, so incredible. All of your poetry has completely altered my views on many things and been relatable to me and in that way, it is form of healing for me to read your work and find poetic phrases that directly apply to my life and it makes me feel less alone, and I really think you are a spectacular poet and person. There is a literal aching agony in my chest to read these magnificently written yet tragic lines. Please don’t hurt yourself anymore inside or out. Please don’t want to hurt yourself anymore. I am so thankful to you for your poetry.
I pretend to be okay
You pretend that you care
-WickedHope
You are so. So. Strong. To pretend you are okay, no Hollywood actress compares to those who act like they are fine when they really are not. It looks (judging by your poetry) to me that you have had to be an actress far too many times and ACT like you are okay. Well that “YOU” person in your poem may have pretended to care but I really do care. I applaud you for an acting job well done. You are brave to pretend for that long that well. I hope you don’t have to pretend like that anymore because you are wonderful and you deserve wonderful. You worth something. Don’t tell me I’m wrong about this.
But now I know I'm not enough
I'm not enough to deserve love
-WickedHope
You are more than enough. This is a beautiful and poetic line, by the way. Listen, I believe that when you write poetry, that work that you create is more YOU than anything you do, say or how you behave in life. I have read your poetry and you are one of the most deserving of love people I have ever come across. You can’t see how amazing you are.
I'm so fake sometimes
But this is real
I love you
But no one loves me
Not even I
I just want to feel loved
But I probably wouldn't even
Recognize love
-WickedHope
Such incredible poetry, I am amazed. My soul is crumbling as I read this though. I hate the idea of you feeling unloved. Of you not knowing love. I loathe that idea. But you touched on an important aspect of life. So many of us are so fake, love so much and do not feel loved and do NOT love ourselves, myself included but one day soon, you will find love. You don’t need to recognize it, it just needs to recognize you. And it will.
Why is it we cure pain with pain?
-WickedHope
Because it is the only thing we know and we can’t bring ourselves to look for anything else so we think that further pain can heal us. It never does though, of course. What an insightful thought. You see life through a lens made of poetry. How beautiful. I admire that about you. You are an extraordinary poet.
Dear WickedHope,
You. Are. A. Precious. Perfect. Human. Being. Worthy. Of. Love.
And recognition and you don’t deserve the pain you have suffered depicted in your poetry.
Thank you for writing. It has changed and saved me as a person on many occasions.
~Lots of love~
