They are ******* it- "Them", the lifeless forms
Right out of me - every sliver of contentment;
I feel it leaving me : soul departing a body
Leaving me- the shell of my being.

From my bedroom, I see the slice of life
Pretty blue skies, birds and evergreen trees.
I see  my dusted friends by the bed
As "They" perfuse me with their darkness.

My four white walls bear silent witnesses,
But my angel- she stands guard patiently-
Patiently waits as I drown myself in the noises;
Hoping to drive away the dark with the loud raps.

But then "They" last only for so long;
As the goings get tough, I repeat that over-n-over --
Looking for the exit route. I just need to last
Until "They" tire out for today.
For then, that would be my win for the day.
Dealing with "Them" are so much harder when you are restricted to your house. But we gotta fight it one day at a time - battle with the insecurities, the anxiousness one battle at a time.

I want to turn away from this world
abandon myself,
unravel my emotions,
so that I can be enough to feel again.
I've left so much behind, because I
was AFRAID
to be vulnerable.
Nobody told me, that I
was already Enough !
Let me tell you today, that you are enough, and will always be.

I’ll ask and ask again
to keep upright through it all
I’ll raise my chin
and stand up tall.
I know I’ve got strength within
that I’m a warrior inside
try to tear me down and
see where you end.
I’ll be standing over you
hope in my hand.

ill hold you close, so please, take another dose. not from his stupid bottle of callous, but from a new bottle, called happiness. shell care for you better, wrap you in her sweater and love you forever. even if shes feeling empty, ill have a new one. take another dose, so she can see you smile and be stunned. she tries doing her job, protecting you from him. but the slob spills his callous, making her jealous, withdrawals she fears. "join me in our life of euphoria" she begs, a cloud over her head, as he demands you to take another drag of his chemicals. she doesnt know what happens from here, but she hopes you stay with her, the cure.
this is for my brothers girlfriend, who wont walk away from a toxic relationship

I want to embroider my skin with words that will heal me.

sometimes i feel so aching inside

and grab a delicate treat

i eat it and it is very delicious 

but this aching only comes ever so often

i think it's supposed to be more apparent

i only partake of treats and delicacies when i am aching inside

and this is beginning to show

am i fine?
i wrote this about the lack of self care i do. specifically about my eating habits. i barely eat, unless i'm super hungry. it's not on purpose, i just tend to forget.

If it feels wrong, don't do it
2. Say exactly what you mean
3. Don't be a people pleaser
4. Trust your instincts
5. Never speak bad about yourself
6. Never give up on your dreams
7. Don't be afraid to say no
8. Don't be afraid to say yes
9. Be kind to yourself
10. Let go of what you can't control
11. Stay away from drama & negativity
12. LOVE

maybe if i told myself "i am beautiful" enough,
one day, i might believe it

Do I love them?
Or do I need validation for my poor choices.
Loving seems so hard
when love doesn't seem to come to you first
engulf those mirrored possibilities of who comes first.
Can I get to the finish line when I'm stuck at the start.
