do u ever like feel so absurdly reluctant to do things. like it ain’t even procrastination or laziness anymore u just physically and mentally can’t bring yourself to do anything. u really, really just wanna binge watch youtube until your mind numbs completely or lie on the floor and stare into the abyss. and it’s not like u don’t have “motivation” or anything or even that u don’t want to do it, it’s just. u can’t. idk how ppl just. Do Things. get up and go at it. i have to have an entire existential crisis and like, watch a goddamn motivational film or something first before i do the smallest thing. and it’s june for fuck’s sake.
Gotta nip them in the bud from now on
Some days I need you more than others,
days when I don’t feel like myself and
I have forgotten my name and
why I keep putting one foot in front of the other.
These days I wish you could just hold me,
just hold me in your arms tight,
center me and be my light.
Be the warmth that keeps away the infinite cold,
that I feel chills me to the bone.
Hold me in these days when I am not strong,
when I am but a muted shadow of myself
when I need a reason to hold on.
I don't know if I am being selfish,
but I just tell you what I must,
what I feel deep inside my heart and
I need you so much every day of my life,
but these days I need you most,
to remember I am worth loving and fighting for.

I find myself in the midst of poetry written by the broken hearted. As I read each line the overwhelmingly hurt that’s been forgotten in my mind. Yet felt in my heart the cries of all the why’s.
Poetry not only written or rewritten; but the kind living in the hearts of those who have lived hurt an pain. In which now converts to healing through words. Writing, the aftermath of endured angush.
Those who have had the highest of hopes. Only to find those hopes crushed by someones lies. Or torn, shattered, and distraught by the hands of a narcissist. Which ever the case may be, I say to you; don’t feel alone because I’ve lived the pain in your poems that I read.

for a moment i got lost in the ocean’s ethereal beauty and i envied the moon for being able to see it everyday, i lingered in that state of serenity as the moon vowed its love for the ocean wishing i could do the same to you but i knew better than to break my own fragile heart like that as unfortunately the feelings aren’t reciprocal
— my heart
Do you wanna know how many times I tore myself apart cause you’re not here

““Surely you must know,” she whispered. “Surely you know, it’s written all over me. Subconsciously, controlling every action, every smile, every touch, you always pull me closer and I am more visible with each passing second we spend together.””
— Surely you know, how awfully in love I am with you.
I’ve got a closet filled up to the brim with the ghosts of my past and skeletons

I didn’t know growing up would be this hard. If only giving up was one of life’s options, I could’ve chosen it for a million times. But it wasn’t and never will it be. I just hope and pray each night that when another day arrives, I’ll come to learn how to deal with life.
