You used to be my best friend, now its like i never existed. I used to be your best friend now its like you never existed. Thanks for the help dad i try not to be mad but knowing you choose drugs, Burglary living on the streets Over a relationship with me. makes me wonder why I'm not good enough.. You don't even have to give that up. Just wish you'd call and say what's up. Do you sleep peacefully? Is there any guilt or remorse when you think of me? do you even realize what you did to me when the personal creator who birthed me Tragically departed the earth early only two weeks after turning 18. You were nowhere to been seen searching for your teen. Her heart she let open bleed at that fateful scene. But if you're wondering, I'm alive and occupied, attempting to mend These shattered dreams of mine I don't despise. But I do wonder why I was a sweet young girl taking on a new lonely world. You'd be proud to know, i conquered it great with no supports and did what it takes to adapt and outlast. Forced to mature too fast i forgive as a daughter, but as a father i can never understand abandonment as your plan thus forfeiting being a man. Grieving you, but your not dead Your lost in your head. Eighteen - supposed to be when my life started.. But everything i loved, departed. Grieving a mother Wondering what happened to my father Its not fair to me, nor to the men i meet, that i want them to fill the emptiness that you could easily complete. I run when I feel love. I'm terrified to open up. For they may take it and run I will do me. You do you. Once i fully make peace with the truth I can be the me that was free and full of life before you disrupted my upbringing ------ Now I'm 28. I've processed the pain And I'm done playing   the waiting game. I no longer wish for you to care. To be there. I accept what is here. Ive had many nights Where I wasn't alright Flashbacks arrive The little girl wonders why. But, I did something different this time As I seen her in my brain I allowed the pain. Drop out of my mind And into my body. Experienced fully. Hyperventilating,   body convulsing Hardly breathing I finally let my body feel the pain I felt was real. I never allowed it. So I never healed. The inner child, She had to die So I can mature And start to raise my standards high. 1/3/26

what happened
I was once a girl Who played with her toys I was once a girl who played Baseball with boys I was once a girl who got ripped to shreds so many times I would one day need meds I was once a girl Small and fragile slapped and grabbed so I learned to be agile I was once a girl who let her guard down So now I am the girl who always has a frown I was once a girl happy and thin But now I'm the girl who always wonders What could have been

I was once a girl...
I've been told that people have forgotten what happened. I've been told that word got around. I've been told that hatred still exists here. And you tell me not to be guilty. But I look at them... And feel nothing but the pain I cause them. I know I'm no good. I cannot believe that you say I'm a good person. When seeing them does nothing but remind me of how I ruined it all.

Over And Done (With)
She showed me that being strong willed was hardly enough in the midst of her disaster, I've watched buildings falter beneath her steps only for her to then smile like nothings happened

She Was A Disaster
In this house, ruckus occurred. the bathroom was filled with tears, tears from scrapes and cuts and bruises the kitchen filled with the sound of forks scraping against plates the bedrooms filled with dog hair the living room filled with snores from those late nights the hallway filled with dirt from those muddy days the bedroom walls filled with posters the bedroom floors filled with clothes In this house ruckus occurred the bathroom was filled with broken glass the kitchen with cans and jars, lying still on the floor, covered with dust the bedrooms remember the faint memory of boxes and suitcases the living room filled from the televisions soft glow a warning broadcasted from above the hallway filled with clothes pushed to the side to make room for more the bedroom walls filled with holes the bedroom floors filled with blankets and more dust In this house, ruckus occurred.

Just go, you clearly don't know what you want from me Just leave, no words or thoughts like it's so ******* easy Just now I thought something could finally happen Just stupid old me for giving in after a bottle of Kracken.. Now I can't, I don't know who you are Now I want and miss how you could take me so far Now I just feel empty and so ******* alone Now I sit and wonder why you couldn't just pick up your phone..

He puts me in a haze everytime we blaze I gaze with dismay and pray someday that I may disobey this craving heart s.q.

Raiz
the mirror used to show her reflection her hair that twirled at the ends the way her lips  stre e e e ched when she smiled her eyes clear like they'd never seen a storm masked with childlike innocence, an antique veil that wears away slowly letting light seep in thinner each year until she looks one day at her reflection in the mirror, eyes truly open for the first time and there's a spotlight on her flaws that she'd never seen before like a blindfold lifted she's squinting in the sun and she rubs her eyes but can no longer see the twirled hair and smiling lips that had been before.
