You can't get rid of me that

I may just

but
I'll come back, don't worry
you're stuck
with me.

Have you ever
just looked at
people in a
bookstore?
Not judging
them, just
looking,
and seeing
all the different
people buying
different books.
You don't have
to look a certain
way to read or
purchase a book.
You don't have
to look a certain
way in order to read
a certain genre,
just look like
you.

You're Gonna Be Okay.
Alaska Oct 2016
When you get hurt...
emotionally...
it's not a physical
wound..
And some people
fail to realize that..
You can't just put a
bandage on your heart,
let it heal, and be okay
again... No.
It takes time for your
mind and heart to heal.
Sure there is maybe
some pain now and then
but, not as much as
there was in the beginning.
You're gonna
be okay.

I don't understand..
Why does the person

helped them mess
with my mind...
get to be happy with

When is karma going

Honestly, I'm just lucky
I have as much
patience as I do.

Face
Alaska Aug 2016
Why must you
be this way?
Full of blemishes
and discolor.
I know God
wanted me
to look a certain
way,
but i'm sure
he didn't intend
for this.
I try and try
to have a clear
face, but nothing
seems to help.
I look at my
reflection and cry, cry, cry.
Even though my outside
isn't so beautiful,
at least my inside is.
God thinks I'm beautiful and that's all I need.

I'm such an embarrassment.
No one wants to be with me,

Thanks for making me feel this way,
but don't worry, I'll get it over it, and
prove you wrong.

You are....
Alaska Aug 2016
Love,
You are enough.
Don't you ever think you are not.
That boy or girl you thought you were in love with, they don't decide if you're enough.
All that matters is that you are enough for you.
You will always be enough.
You are one of kind.
You are you.
Laugh uncontrollably, dance like no one's watching, smile as big as you can.
Live life knowing you're enough.
One day at a time, each day to its fullest.
I love you and God loves you.
You're not alone .

You built me up in the beginning, just to put me down in the end.

I was insecure,
you saw that,
you knew
that.

You complimented me,
building me up,
making my
confidence flourish,
you helped me
feel beautiful.

Then came the
lust and I
became insecure
once again.

I thought in
order to be
beautiful for you,
I had to please you.

I was insecure,
but to the point where
I would stop and
not go further.

I knew what you
liked already,
I didn't want to do
something else where
maybe you didn't
like what you saw
and
you weren't pleased.

It is now 2:39am and I'm thinking about an old flame.
I flipped through the old memories I had written down about you.
October 7th, 2011 was the day you first called me beautiful,
by the fence of your backyard.
I smile as I think about it now, you no longer make sad.
I remember how you used to be,not the **** you've turned out to be.

Let's drive away

Let's talk about
everything that's
kept locked deep
in the catacombs
of our hearts.
Let's trust one
another,
just you and
me.
Grab my hand.
hold it tight.
Spill all.
I'll tighten my
grip, as goosebumps
appear on our

I'm here,
you're here.
We shouldn't worry.
I won't let you go,
if you don't let me go.

I've loved only one
in my eighteen years
and stopped myself before
I could love another.

I grew up without
love, not knowing what
it felt like to
be loved or to
love someone else.

But now, I  know
what love is after
I've seen and experienced
it.

Except when I fell
in love, it was
only me who fell..

And I don't plan
on falling again unless
I know I will
be caught.

No, stop, no.
There's no point

My "family" is

Please hold me,

Be okay,
As I sob
Into your chest.
Hold me tight,
But not too tight,
For I am fragile
And pieces of me
Are already missing...
I don't think I can
Afford to lose anymore.
Is that too much to ask?
I'm sorry.

I hate the way
my voice sounds,
because sometimes
it comes off loud and
sometimes I give an attitude
when I honestly do not mean to.

But no one believes me.

I was raised in loudness.
Constant yelling, screaming , shouting , and rudeness.

I am coated with hatred.

Nothing calm, sweet and nice to be found, not even in the corners of my home.

I'm sorry.
I'm truly kind and caring,
only somewhat broken,
I promise.

Ashamed
Alaska Apr 2016
People should not be ashamed for feeling.
I'm not sorry for the way I felt about you
Because it only seemed to be a phase,
that's why I've let my emotions out
through words rather than pouring
out my soul to you.
And to the next person I fall for,
let it be known it's most likely a phase,
don't expect me to spill at all.
We as humans should not be ashamed of loving one another, sometimes people slip and fall into the trap, sometimes it's a phase, don't worry you will get through it. I'm just sick of people getting tormented for having feelings for someone and being ashamed for the way they feel, we're all human and it happens. If it doesn't work out or if it's a phase, you will move on and it's going to be okay.

You can't make me sad anymore,

With you sober

Because I know you don't
Feel the same and I
Can't bare to take the pain.

One Day...
Alaska Mar 2016
I will find the
one.
I will live the
life I want to
lead.
I won't be scared
to love and be
loved.
I will say, "I love you",
and have it said
back to me in
the same way.
I won't be scared
to feel.
I will know what
it's like to hold
hands with the one
I love.
I will know what
it's like to not
be alone when I
fall asleep at night
and wake up in the
morning.
God, has a plan
for me, for all
of us.
These are the two words that I say to myself over and over again to remind me that my day will come...Constantly, I whisper to myself "one day, Alyssia! One day you will be ******* loved back by the person you love and you're gonna be okay, and you won't be scared", and so on. This is also for you guys who are maybe struggling with the same thing, constantly being patient letting yourself get hurt over and over again and you just want it to get to "the one" already and stop having to go through these people who don't deserve you. You may feel alone, but never forget that you are surrounded with people who love and care about you, and if you think you don't, well i'm here for any of you guys,seriously I am, and I love YOU!So guess what? Your day will come, don't you worry, but don't doubt it either because that never helps anything.
