Being broken is not
Beautiful
Or glamorous
Or desirable
This mess I am is not worth wanting
I am only a master of words
Searching for ones that might express the lonliness burning in my brain

My broken pieces that dwindle down my spine dragging me to the floor are not something to idolize

It's poetic
And poems are the tragedies that remind us not everyone gets to escape
There's one story we'll spend our entire lives trying to tell

*And you are mine
You only need your heart broken once
To be able to create a lifetime of poetry
I became a poet
In the hopes of becoming someone's poem
Break me open
Untie my scars
Pull out every secret
Every burn

Kiss me undone
Take this mess
And discover every hidden piece
Hiding in the sheets

Unravel my soul
Touch me so gently
Like you might break me
Pull me close and dive into my mind

Undo me
Every piece
Bare upon the sheets
Break me open

And when I think of you
I feel good about myself
And it doesn't matter if I'm broke
Or if 3am makes me sad

Because when I think of you
I am proud of myself
And it doesn't matter if I'm a mess
Or if some things can't be fixed

As I think of you
And realize all these
I fear for my life

I can't contain these feelings
Or cage them in my heart

So here is my ink, my blood
My skin made of paper,
I surrender all that matters
Please
Don't come to me with matches
Or with the fire in your soul
Because I easily burn.

I say the wrong things and hurt people
because people have hurt me all my life.
They never said ''hey I am sorry for the pain
I caused you.''
I think everyone is lying to me..

I wish I wasn't like that.
I wish I had jumped off that cliff.
Then the demons would disappear
*And the darkness would appear
