And the stars in our heart.
“The moon lives in the lining of your skin.”
— Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and Song of Despair
my mind wants to get away.
so that I can just be alone, so I can’t hurt anyone else,
especially you.
I feel like a threat
and I can't get away
yet here I am, only 10 feet away
As they laughed and pointed
I stood there
Half frozen in the 20 degree weather
My legs were purple
and not just from the cold
I acted like I could withstand the pain
So they’d see I was strong
But I guess I was wrong
I hoped they’d stop
I smiled and laughed
As they beat me down
But I’d always get up
I had to
I covered my legs
So no one could see
The pain on the outside of me
So I know you’re trying to help
But I’ve turned cold
Like my body
The days I was out on that field
Friendly reminder: when people say ‘as long as you tried your best’ it doesn’t mean ‘the best you could possibly have done ever’ it means ‘the best you were capable of at the time.’ Sometimes ‘trying your best’ is just getting out of bed in the morning. Just because you weren’t working yourself to the bone doesn’t mean you weren’t trying your best.
the cycle starts again.
why do i keep messing up?
just stick to the plan.
learn to stop talking.
you have to stick to the plan.
stop hurting the people you love.
stick to the plan.
jesus, have some self control.
stick to the plan.
you’ve been this way for so long,
why can’t you stick to the plan?
what’s wrong with your brain?
can’t you just stick to the plan?
you promised yourself you’d stop,
just stick to the plan.
it’s really not that hard.
stick to the plan.
you’re not trying hard enough to fix yourself.
if you’d just stick to the plan,
you wouldn’t be stuck in these problems.
stick. to. the. plan.
- a girl with no self-control. who acts on impulse even when she knows it’s wrong; who doesn’t know how to describe the way she feels; she never knows when to stop and god does she wish she did.
Some people won’t believe you
Because your scars are hidden
Way beneath your skin
People only believe what they can see
And that should be a sin
most common thought: damn haha im going to have to deal with that sooner or later
love is hard
but loving you is the hardest thing to do
i know all the good you’ve done
but i cant overcome
all of the hurt feelings
and i hate what i’ve become
Be my Romeo
I’ll be your Juliet
Let’s get married and run away
Finish their story
Let our love be seen in all its glory
We’ll live in our own secret world
We’ll forget our names and who we were
Let us be so in love
That we are no longer two
But one
Let our story be read by scholars and in schools
Let us be martyrs for a force stronger than any god we’ve ever known
My Romeo, let us be martyrs for a love stronger than what anyone’s seen before.
fires trickle through my veins
fires i know i have lit
the ache in my bones weigh me down
no matter how light i make myself
feeling the weakness in my heart
barely pumping blood to my torn body
and yet i still smile
because this is the way,
the only way they’ll love me.
her body is so broken
and yet she’s still fighting
with no one standing by her side
she’s fighting
for herself
against herself
and the cycle never ends
