Can't breathe.

To reach out.

All is lost.

When I hate myself
For what I have done
Or what I know I can do.

It’s hard. Learning to evolve. Learning to be strong
But I am vital. I am loved. And today, I am glowing.
“You know what I was thinking?” She says to me,Peeking her head back around my doorframe.
Earlier that evening,I’d asked her what she was thinking about.
The girl
Was all alone
She cried inside
And hid behind
Her tears that

searching for a piece of herself,
in a round-eyed town.
Her identity uncertain,

self acceptance i assure

no water can help you thrive like your sisters
weak roots

I've tried to replant you in the same brittle dirt that rejected you
Of course you are not perfect,
but why do you fret?
There are many more important reasons
to find yourself upset.
You could be greedy, coniving, full of deceit,
turning a blind eye
It's true what they say-
you're a bit of a troublemaker.
The good news is you have good intentions.
You're very curious and love testing the limits of things.
Your tsundere personality fluctuates depending on the
Dear Bulimia,
Look, I'm glad you came in and put your feet up, (on my brand new coffee table...),
but I'm afraid now isn't really a good time, I'm afraid there's no such thing as a really
Have you ever heard the mockingbird sing?
For the first few seconds of its sweet song, I always believe it to be a Cardinal
What a strange being you are.
God knows where I would be
If you hadn't found me
Sitting all alone in the dark.
I bow down my head
With sadness in my eyes.
Arms wrapped around me
You're down because you've been changing in ways you had never hoped nor planned
The years have gone by and as you look back you scrutinize your mistakes that you can't stand
I found that life gives you certain battles to fight
Doesn’t give you a weapon to defend yourself but expects you to do alright
Attacking you in the day, while terrifying you at night
Do i look like a person who is two faced?
Do i look like a person who lies?

Their imperfections .

It is midnight again and I don’t know how to last another minute.
I crush my head between my hands and try to squeeze them out,
Should I call them nightmares?
Should I call them dreams?
how can i stand up straight with the weight of the world on my shoulders
how can i stand up straight with no confidence to hold my shoulders back
see since i was young i've been trying to make myself smaller
It may have been a Monday evening
when you felt your fingertips buzzing at your
lips.
It was a wind, a gust, of beauty in your anxiety

Welcome to society,
feel free to be who you want to be.
But, make sure we like who that person is.
Love yourself and your body,
The photos you see of me are not me
I wish you could see the me that I see
No filters, no captions, no hashtags, just me
The truly authentic version of me
That Valencia filter cannot disguise
Step 1: Forgiveness
Forgive but don't forget I say to myself as if the knives of your words
hadn't silenced me earlier, as if in between each letter of forgiveness
Disapproval scorches me
Every step I take.
I'm not what they want me to be,
And it's a feeling I can't shake.
I'm not the peppy, bouncy girl
Whose smile lights the day.
Life sucks.
I’ll be the first to admit that I fucking hate my sad existence.
But something I hate more than myself is when people feel the need to call out all of my flaws to me.

She’s a match that’s quick to light
that’s not hard to put out.
Short tempered, but quick to forgive.
Merciful
Insecure
She’s a puppy in a pack of wolves
What is flaw?
Is it what makes you different from everybody else?
Is it what you lack?
Is it your potiential to go further than everybody else?

Well, I'm sort of shy
And I think towards the sky
Usually about pi
And sometimes in rhyme.
Sometimes the way my mind works
Even shocks me.
Sometimes I say dirty things
its in my lonely
that I realize how I am frail and boney
how harsh I am to me,how my heart is stony
it is in my lonely
that I confront my phony
masks get dropped and the acting gets chopped
It hurts to breathe and I growtired of beingsplintered ribs can holdno fluttering soulghosts of the past have takenrefuge in vacated space:and my bones creak with their wounded hearts
I don't have the words anymore.
They escape my mind as freely
As they once rolled off my tongue.
I don't know what happened
But somewhere between then and now
You took my whole world and flipped it
Seek that which is away from the surface
Dig further, refrain to linger on surface
Deep across the ocean blue
See the beauty and the true
Beyond the surface
A blank canvas without design
Dear lord forgive me for I have sinned, a girl has a effected where my thoughts have been taken in.
Pretty smile and eyes I could stare at for more than just awhile.
Valentines day is a day of love
an artificial holiday.
Overall I had a great Valentines.
And sure it sucks seeing all of the "cute" couples being in love
Beautiful people everywhere,
I'm not one of them!
I'm not one of them!
Beautiful people everywhere,
As far as the eye can see.
And none of them look like me
Remember that day you felt you could never compare
That feeling that life just couldn't be fair
Remember the tears that flooded your eyes
That feeling that life is a pile of lies
This,
Is me.
Take a good look because I guarantee your first impression will be shattered in a word or two,
Alone.
I am not defined.
Reach that limit
Watch the birds fly above in complete aw
Take the time to move yourself the way the man above planned you to move
Just Take That Time!
Like an Eskimo, I wear many layers
I am kept hidden away
Safe from discovery or attack
Each layer represents insecurity
I put on more layers
I want to stay hidden
Unnoticed
I wish that I didn’t have to tell you how beautiful your body is.
I wish that the world would shout about the beauty in the map of your skin.
The freckles, stretch marks, bumps and scars
