So I was once asked
"What is your worst fear?"
I contempated many things
I thought it over
I wanted to give a sure answer
I replied "honestly, its an abyss"
Also known as
A bottomless pit

I guess I feared that I would become it
I wouldnt care who I take in
I wouldnt care who was hurting
Because I would be so dark hearted

I would just keep taking
Taking and taking
And never putting out
I feared i would become numb to it all

I was afraid of becoming a cold, dark, bottomless pit.

Now that I have grown to understand the depths of which I spoke
I realize i would choke on my own words
I would be treated by others who were so numb
I would become jealous of the lack of guilt
I would become a hatefulled center peice
On the decorated ****** story I live
I would become the real unfortunate story
A girl who lost it all in a month
And the girl who wishes she could just be an abyss.

there is no need
to punish some people
when they do wrong
for they are already broken,
and that is like stomping on glass
after it has shattered

even careful hands
may get cut piecing together
the shards with the glue of
love and poetry, but that
is what it takes.

So I wear my heart on my sleeve
I got it permanent in ink
I got it so everyone knows
Everyone know I care about everybody
This does not mean take advantage of me
It doesn't mean leave me in the dirt
It doesn't mean to leave me on read
Until you are bored enough to talk to me
Im wearing my heart on my sleeve
For me

Would you kindly
hug me tight
with your hands
around my neck?
Would you kindly spend the night
and comfort this nervous wreck?

Could you show me a smile
while you tell me that I'm trash
Could you insult my lifestyle
without even batting an eyelash

Should you care about garbage like me
your tastes must be perverted
Should I be allowed to feel this happy
honestly, I'm uncertain.

I need you to use your claws
to draw out the blood from my skin
I need you to break through the walls
I built to hide my true self within

I need you to split me open and dig inside
to grasp at my heart if you can
I need you to know the thoughts that I hide
and love the person I really am

When a tweet, no longer comes from a bird.
A message, no longer written in words.
A picture, determines your current worth.
A swipe, is not for payments against earns.

Your world, no longer restricted to earth.
Your voice, can control your universe.
Games, without company, a box.
Books, used to be written, forgot.

Love was in letters, not characters.
Eyes looked straight, not down.
Communication, in touch were sound.
Reactions, were not button frowns.

Food shared, not delivered.
Noise surrounded, not muted.
Hands shaken, not email awaken.
The world was claimed, but not hidden.

An automated world,
not an automated me.

Here's the thing.
It doesnt matter how much someone else can see the beauty
I can't
I can't even come close.
I'm nothing but A model of dust and ruins
I'm nothing but hurting
I can't even breathe the same air as someone
Without the feeling of always suffocating
Help me to BE ABLE TO BREATHE
Help me to cope with my constant anxiety
