Literature Text

My love was pure
And honest
I only wanted
Her happiness
But my heart
Was broken
Because my love
Was rejected
Tossed aside
Like a piece of garbage
And now I'm unable
To love
Because the shreds
Of my shattered soul
Still belong
To her

Crying

Baby cries for the mommy Boy cries for the attention Teen cries for the confusion Man cries for the reality Senior cries for the regret Deceased cries for the living No matter who we are Powerful or weak Happy or depressed Rich or poor Popular or alone We all weep together One way or another

Literature

I Am

I am single, but I am loved. I am not a genius, but I am intelligent. I am not breathtaking, but I have beauty. I am not a saint, but I am kind. To the world, I am not perfect. But for someone, I am.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

I Like Being Weird

Whether I’m laughing in awkward situations Or crying when everybody else smiles I go from wanting to stay in bed forever To wanting to run directionless for miles Normality just feels like silent floorboards And is something I most definitely fear See I need to creak every once in a while You won’t understand but I like being weird Talking when everybody else is silent Being deathly quiet in a maelstrom of noise As I decide if I’ll be your friend today But I promise that you are not just a toy Normality just feels like empty nightscapes And is something I most definitely fear I need the stars to spell out my last name Do

Darling, Don't You Dare

To the girl who skips dinner, Because her reflection hurts more than Starving. To the boy who wears sweatshirts On hot summer days, Because he doesn’t want his mother to cry over his Scars. To the boy who weeps uncontrollably Until he falls asleep, Because it’s the only way to escape into his Dreams. To the girl who spends her days in her bedroom, Because the dark is more peaceful than her Mind. To the child who gets angry, Because no one understands. To the teens who self-harm, To the ones in recovery, To the ones that just can’t do it anymore… Stay Strong. For the girl who skips meals And the boy who wears sw

My Beautiful Mess

She smiles like the Cheshire cat Like her problems don't matter Like the stars can speak Like perhaps she can hear them She laughs like she's mad Like every moment is special Like she controls her destiny Like it's her last day on Earth She loves like a child Like she's not sorry for being happy Like her pain is pretend Like there are always second chances

Others Have It Worse

So many have it worse than you, so don't be so upset. Depression is so stupid, just the same as false regret. Anxiety? Oh, what a joke. You just don't want to fail. Hallucinations? What a crazy, funny little tale. Darling, you're pathetic. Take the blade off of your skin. You're such a little wannabe, don't let your sorrow win. Suicide is stupid, and a sin, oh, don't you see? Come on, just respond, love, why are you ignoring me? ... Today I heard you passed away. I'm sorry for your pain. If only others knew the way I did-- you weren't insane. If only you had known, my love, how much your soul was worth... But honestly, you should've smile

Fat Girls Shouldn't Wear Shorts

Fat girls should not wear shorts to "show off their curves" or "display their legs" because thick thighs do not actually save lives. They should not wear shorts because everyone will gawk and talk and hope they can mentally erase the image of chubby legs and wide hips rubbing together. There must have been a reason they were watching your back in the first place, anyway. Fat girls should not wear clothing that does not suit their body type. Throw on a sweatshirt and feel like a prisoner in a cotton cage. Let yourself become "one" with your insecurity. Never dare to wear revealing clothes because no one is attracted to repulsive, ample

Depression Isn't Real

Depression isn’t true, my dear Depression isn’t real. It’s just a silly tragedy You’ve forced yourself to feel. Anxiety is fake, my friend You wonder why it’s there. But others have it worse than you! Stop forming false despair. Cutting is dramatic, love, It’s ugly, and it’s dumb. Why not just get over it? Is the attention fun? Suicide is stupid, dear, And selfish, if I may. Get over yourself, darling, Can you hear these things I say? Why aren’t you replying, love? Oh, where could you have gone? I never meant to hurt you, love, Did I say something wrong? Why aren’t you replying, dear

24 years of a perfect marriage and I was left from my childhood abuse, she thot I was to blame. And after 20+ years alone,..., I can love only her. It's the dog in me I guess.
