i hated myself
uncertainty
regret
i don't
know best
i just knew
that i was in pain
i did what i thought
would make me feel okay
i don't even
feel like myself
i dont even
deserve your help

i'd say sorry
but i don't know if you'd care
and if you did
that'd break my heart
139 · Oct 2024
drink from me
i tell you that i have to love me first
knowing your happiness means more than mine
i walk away and draw new lines
i ask for space and say i need some time
when all i ever wanted was to be here with you
but i close the door behind me
and i don't look back and it feels so wrong
if i'm the one leaving why am i crying

cause i'd burn myself down
to warm your coldest day
and break every bone in my body
to remove all of your pain
everything i have
has been at stake
everyday that i love you
i become more afraid

of what'd i do
to myself if i let it keep going
but my visions have gone dark
the future's foreboding

every step you take
every choice you make
reverberates through me
and i crumble in your wake


i'm never gonna see my brightest day
living as a sponge for your problems and gloom
i gotta walk away
cause i gotta think about me too

i hope you can still love me
and if i need it, that forgiveness is in your heart
life is for living and only sometimes about giving
love shouldn't be this hard
a vampire of sorts
i bared my neck for you
you dont mean to **** me dry
but you still did, didn't you?

i've gotta go now
139 · Apr 2021
but i'm here
push me down the stairs
tell everyone i tripped
putting your bag in my chair
so i have nowhere to sit
question for me
but you answer it
actively getting between
me and my friends

sensed competition
but i don't know why
is it something i have
or some idiot guy
going out of your way
to complicate my life
don't know what i did
to get on your bad side
i am fat
and that is okay
i'll mind my sandwich
and look the other way

don't care about your drama when i could be enjoying some cake

i am fat
i'm gonna eat what i want
but it's okay
it all goes straight to my ****

aren't big butts the new craze anyways?

i am fat
but the most important part
is that you know food
is the key to my heart

buy me some pizza and it'd make my day
p.s. hot cheetos are meh favorite and i have a pizza addiction

uncivil
if i had you
i wouldn't need anybody else
but you won't take me
so now i've gotta fend for myself
looking into me
and turning over once you're done
seeing what you wanna see
no longer interested whatever it was
don't want to assume the worst
and i'm not trying to be scummy
but you can only make me feel so stupid
and take so much from me
before i can't be as patient and kind
as i really wanna be
i just wanna be treated like a person
it's not even that deep
137 · Jun 2021
struggle to ci2i
back in the moment
everytime i close my eyes
wanna be clean of your touch
clear out my heavy mind
but i'm stuck in the moment
you decided for me
not trying go back
and rewrite the story
but i didn't want what happened
i needed more time
you pushed yourself onto me
and now i'm struggling not to cry
it was too much too fast
you want more already
i try to set boundaries
and you struggle to respect me
137 · Dec 2021
high on you
it's the peculiar pain
of knowing how
excited i get
when i think of
seeing you
or how nervous i become
worrying about what to say
knowing you don't feel the same
that same rush

i bet
your friends have never heard about me
and if i was mentioned
it was probably not by name
just in offhand
like yeah
i ****** that one girl again
just another body

you dont have conversations
revolving around how your actions
might impact my feelings
or even think about that about that at all
i bet
but i do for yours and
i bet
you would laugh at me if you knew
or you'd just run

and the shock
of the realization
knocks me out of orbit
this idea of who i am
to anyone around me
means nothing
and you are just the first example

and as i start unraveling
and acknowledging all my **** ups
and shortcomings
and everything i wish
would just be different
about the world
and myself
i drown in the feeling
that i shouldn't even try
my powerlessness
my weakness
i hate myself
for all the things
i can't will myself to be
and the thoughts i can't control
getting too self aware
and i suffer

one too many nights
of medicated sleep
now i can't fight the universe
revealing things to me
or is it the devil
trying to get under my skin
with these horrible visions
i can't be sure

i want to be safe
and i want to be alive
but i want to feel alive
and i'm tired of being alive

loop di loop di loop
it all starts and ends with you
and you don't even matter
because i don't matter to you
my brain won't let me love someone
who can not love me back
but i still feel attachment
because i'm stupid
and i actually liked you despite
all of the ugly thoughts in my head

now i'm rambling
and i make no sense
that one crossfade lyric
what i really meant to say
is i'm sorry for the way i am

i can't help but ruin everything
137 · May 2019
appreciation
the difference between guessing and knowing is that knowing hurts worse
to become the person i am meant to be
i need to come to terms
with all the open ended conversations
and dragged out fights
i need to settle all the debts
and accept that you're right
you never meant to hurt me
and while that doesnt change that you did
it makes it easier to be okay in the present
and not stuck in the past and haunted
you and me are gonna go places
and maybe not together
people grow apart
but deep down in my heart i will love you forever
you were my first love and heartbreak
i was not the first person you though of in the morning
i dreamt of you every single night
while you thought i was a little more than boring
it hurt to not have you then
but now we are both better off
you are the best lesson
i really did not want to be taught
136 · Sep 2021
i'm afraid of me too
just because i have issues maintaining my boundaries
didn't mean i needed to treat people like ****
in the moment i felt cornered
so i overcorrected and when
i veer into that territory
of fighting invisible enemies
i let the negativity
get the best of me
i'm sorry i spoke to you like that
i didn't want to it just happened
that's me being honest
not defending my actions
i wanna promise i won't do it again
but i don't wanna lie you see
if you stay i'll try my best
but i understand if you choose to leave
ah here i go again
losing another friend
i'd feel bad but i know
it's for my benefit

every tear i've cried
has accumulated over time
flooded with the feeling
to wash myself of the grime

of users and opportunists
how'd i let myself come to this
scrubbing away the dirt
only to reveal some nasty bruises

but those will heal eventually
i'll scar over mentally
i'll grow from this
go on to be who i'm meant to be

which is not the embodiment of this pain
not being sore or flawed or ashamed
i'm on my knees right now
but i'll stand tall one day

mamacita
want me to show a little a skin
gram by the gram for the gram
lay it all out like spread eagle
kiss your **** and say you're a man
**** all the soft **** that right
catching feelings holding hands
want me to take it all off one by one
if i was real i'd understand

but that's not me
never will be
i like my privacy
i like hiding
i like keeping things lowkey
i don't wanna show my body
i don't wanna be like that
don't wanna arch my back
don't wanna be like all the rest
faking smiles and setting traps
don't wanna go that fast
don't make my life public
just cause you like it
doesn't mean you need to touch it
respect my boundary lines
don't tell me to cut them
they're there for a reason
there cause i want them
you say i don't need them
because you want somethin
gained from me having none
so they're bad by your assumption
don't live to play barbie in your productions
be your star of seduction
my body is more than it makes you feel
i have a higher function
stop trying to push me down
you'll never have your way
i'll bite and scream and scratch and claw
i'll be whatever you want to call
a ***** a snitch a liar a tease
your opinion does not phase me
won't be molded into your princess
or pose and flutter and kneel
would rather die being me
than do something to make you feel

good

woohoo
happy birthday
to me
another year
to mess up everything
just turned
seventeen
know that i'm
still a baby
at least
technically
i'm feel older
than i seem
i've been hurt
i've seen things
happy birthday
to me
blow out the candles
and continue suffering
why does everyone
believe
that a day
could make me happy

disingenuous
never letting us be real
calloused hands on a fragile heart
just wanted to see how it would feel
now i lie in a pool of my own humanity
gasping on a lie
black holes staring to the sky
learning that this is the part where i die
because to love you meant to
love myself
you dont want me
and it ruins my mental health
putting it all down
all for naught
saying it's okay
when it's clearly not
just touch me and burn me
and take me with
if you're gonna leave me for dead
give me one last kiss
i'll never forgive myself
i could never blame you
just bleeding waiting dissociating
what you're just not willing to do
if only you cared if only i didn't
pining for a lonely death it seems
in the end i'll get what i asked for won't i
to love but not be loved is misery
135 · Nov 2021
dunes on the cape
that pocket of reality
where you still want me
is where my brain idles when i finally get a break

it's counterproductive
but it helps me function
despite all of the excuses i continue to make

no you never promised
and if i'm being honest
i suffocate in all the things you would never say

it's that fact that you can lie
and i just have to let it slide
because you owe me nothing even if i don't like it that way

and what's one more crime
circle around the block another time
collateral of the path of destruction left in your wake

it's easy to be dumb
but now i'm harder than i was
and one day i won't even care about this pain

or at least i hope
135 · Jan 2022
can't wake up
i woke up everyday
feeling bad but going out of my way to feel worse
now i know what you think that i'm worth
i flinch recalling the bite of those words
so much i could say but i don't wanna see you hurt
and i guess that's where we are different

i woke up everyday
unfortunately and tried to push off the thoughts
how could i be wrong
for wanting what everyone does
you keep telling me how i feel
but that wasn't how it was
compromise isn't an ultimatum

i woke up everyday
and all i asked was
to be met with equity
you took all my charity
now you left me
feeling like i was wrong on the deepest level
for ever wanting something more
hearing everything you say
i wake up the same kind of sore

i wake up everyday
and cry sometimes too
because i'm tired of pretending
and i might end up hating you

you said it with no hesitation
you took what was worth it for you
and you left the best parts of me
and told me they meant nothing
stupid stupid stupid

but it's okay
i'll be glad you're gone
when this doesn't hurt so much
it's just that it still hurts so much
135 · Jan 2022
forever and ever and ever
but why
must i
be everything
i don't
but i try
and it leaves me
feeling like nothing
i want him to see me
as something i'm not
i want them to like me
but i'm too tired to lie
and i tried already
i want to be good
but i make mistakes
i hurt people
and say horrible things
lying at night
thinking
how awful i am
just awful
i'm tired
and i don't wanna argue
or ruin your good time
i just feel bad
and there's nothing i can do
so there's nothing you can do
don't worry
it'll be like this forever

prayers to whom
i hate to admit it
  but i wish you were dead
i didn't before
  but now i'm absolutely fed
up with the abuse
  cause you break what you can't take
and you already took so much
  yet you're still fueled by hate

  i waited and prayed
  even though i grew impatient
  and i don't believe in your god
i compromised and forgave
someone who never stopped harming me
just to say i gave it a shot

  because my whole life
  you've told me it's my fault
  for not doing everything you asked
i buried myself
and pushed so hard to do it right
even while you held me back

  i was only twelve
  what did you want
  i couldn't figure it out the first time
now i'm an adult
i don't have to do it anymore
yet you still wreak havoc on my life

you take
and what you can't take you break
and i hate to say it
but i wish you would just die
and when i see that day
i'll still cry by your grave
but in a hug where i've buried my face
i'll hide the smallest smile

i'll be happy
we all will
i love you somehow
but you burn everything
and everyone you touch
i'm sick of the draining obligation
that is loving you
be well
but please
for the love of your God
be gone

cradle me
the clammer of life
may soothe their busy minds
but utter silence cradles my soul

bitter quiet and empty spaces
are the only things that
make me feel whole
134 · Jun 2020
i'm unbothered
you wish the worst for me
manipulate tersely
articulate in your efforts
to cut down and subvert me

but do i look phased
you wanna be distracting
bet you thought you could make me bite
gamed on me over reacting

but you're words are empty
too soft to penetrate
as ugly are they are
i can ignore them and be okay
134 · Feb 2019
i'm at the gate
your walls are semi-porous
only letting selective messages through
stonewalling me
so i can't really get through to you
patiently patient
waiting for time to take its toll
eventually your barriers
will have to erode
but still you block me off
your lies build a fence
i can only help you
if you choose to let me in
looking for an opening
but there are no signs
walking the perimeter of your consciousness
to pass the time
133 · Sep 2023
one-sided
dont take that wrong
i know you will
don't cry right now
i know you will
are you even listening to me
you never will
just calm down
i never will

bitten tongues
grow with time
mouth swollen closed
i try to mime
and i try to push this off
another day
i'm too tired
to play your game
but if i forfeit
you don't feel like you've won
somehow doing nothing makes it worse
so i must go along

back and forth
is really back to back
you really talk to yourself
i'm just there to throw the words at
so you don't look weird
yelling at yourself
all that lack of self awareness
unloaded on someone else

just to still feel bad
must be repetitive and sad
living like that
*projecting your worst qualities won't bring the happiness back
i'm not graceful
or gentle or timid or light
i'm angry and clumsy
and confused and can't decide
but i thought i chose you
but all i did was pretend
can't build a relationship with someone
who won't even try to be your friend
133 · Oct 2019
it girl
an image laid before us
but we see different things
you say its beautiful
i find it repulsing
but you like that sort of girl
and you are that kind of guy
i spiral because i dont why
i can't be someone's type
one of these is not like the others
and i am that one
visceral reactions to the lies you love
i can't help but feel undone
i am not like them
i hate the way they make me feel
i dont feel pretty or ****
sometimes i don't even feel real
I just feel like such an outcast.
133 · May 2019
shit man
same throbbing pain
for three **** days
like you magic bulleted my brain
and then poured it out my face
scrunched up to here
imaginary blood flowing out my ears
no one can see what they don't want to hear
every sound is like a spear
through my skull and through the skin
i can make it through again
it is almost too intense
but i'll have to make it through for them
133 · Sep 2021
distance is appreciated
stain won't lift
let it sit
for too long
and now it's stuck

you wanted to win
but you wouldn't give in
you couldn't be wrong
now you're **** out of luck

it's getting bad again
memories bubbling under skin
can't always be strong
especially if you give a ****
133 · Jan 2019
social
music so loud
my ears beg for mercy
look at the clock
seven minutes till 12:30
bored and isolated
but at least no one can hurt me
if it keeps going on like this
think i might leave early
all of a sudden these people that want my time
and they're not in a hurry
but i'm tired and i want to go home
but i don't think they heard me
i guess i'll shut down now
better to be numb than let myself worry
let the girls gossip in my ear
and the guys take my kindness as flirting
keep it to a minimum
i know they don't like it too wordy
but god knows i can't do this anymore
none these people deserve me
trying to focus their moving lips
but the tears have made my vision blurry
but i'll blink them away for now
but that makes me feel so *****
lying not only to them but also myself
maybe of these people i am not worthy

you dont have to love me
i already know
it's always something
out out my control
beyond my power
i'm weak and you're repulsed
want my patience and affection
but can't bear to keep close
which is it now
what's it gonna be
you can't have it all
and be indifferent to me

i gotta know

with the tide
the old frustrations
so obvious now
it only took a few hits
to figure it out
it only took a few years
to have my head above the waves
probably a few more
before i actually mean what i say

gagging at the thought
of my past versions
to stagnation and over-emotion
i've developed an aversion
a reflex i can't help
i can try to forgive myself
but i will never be proud
of making do than doing well

spitting acid
when i could have offered compromise
making myself some sort of martyr
of unnecessary sacrifice
where i should've countered with
kindness and open-mindedness
i curled into negativity
causing my own blindness

running a psychological deficit
standing on the precipice
that the only answer might be watching everything burn
and just letting it
132 · Jan 2021
aesthetic purposes
you got your high school friends
a dead end job
some dreams
and someone who doesn't love you
the way you need them to

when you could've had me

i'm not on top of the world
but i am trying to grow
and that's more than you can say
for your friends or yourself
i'm already someone else

remember when i told you to leave

because you wanted me to change
submit to your needs
while you never considered mine
you wanted both sides
bad decisions and good people in your life

i waited to hear you say sorry

for the longest time
and when you did apologize
it was just too late
i grew up and didn't need it
and i couldn't believe it

you only wanted company

because you've isolated yourself
with the choices you've made
no friends no lovers no hope
you pushed me too far away
and you're trying to turn back time to fix your mistake

but its done finally

and i hope you find true happiness
i wish this didn't have to happen like this
but it did
because you couldn't see my worth
had to lose me first

i can't help you find you when i need to worry about me

i'd give
what do you want
i can give only so much
you ask and i sacrifice
but it's still not enough
i'd give you the truth
but i know you'd hate it
stripping you of your lies
weak and naked
i'd give you some space
but you need my attention
without it you would crumble
validation dependent
i'd give you my opinion
but to you it doesn't matter
but god forbid yours goes unheard
someone will hear about it after
tired of giving a ****
nothing i do seems worthy anyways
i'm giving you my resignation
and i'm giving back your hate

crumpled up

pure destruction
there never was an expectation
just a hope that you might care
i didn't demand salvation
there were no handcuffs on your chair
cause you have to sit with your actions anyways
i don't need control over anyone else
i just wanted to feel safe
i wasn't even seeking help

now there's ugly words
and blocked aggression
spit on the bridge
i received the message
even in the eleventh hour
i move with discretion
something you wouldn't understand
i burn in convalescence
searching for purpose
in places that make no sense
only reached out
cause you're ****** up again
only want me
cause i'm a safe option
love the version of me in your head
not who i actually am
projecting your esteem issues
to soothe insecurity
i want to help
but i'm not gonna let you decide for me
what you really want
isn't my company
you want acceptance and affection
that i can't give you comfortably

ah good times
i don't hate you
i hate the waiting
i loathe the seconds
that add to the minutes
we're wasting

i'm filled with dread
when the tic turns to toc
anxiety consuming me
as i count down
eyes glued to the clock

so afraid of missing a moment
i get lost in the passing of time
instead of focusing on
our happiness
i'm eager to protect mine

just watching the numbers grow
as if they're some sort of proof
but those numbers don't mean
a god ****** thing
if they don't involve you

you dont understand
how such thoughts can
break someone down to nothing

i'm not strong enough for this
i'm too tired to throw a fit
just keep finding things to take from me

and you giggle as i mourn
its okay if it get broken
as long as it's not yours
i didn't ask to be born
i didn't want it to come to this
but we're here whether or not we like it
but you make it impossible
for me to live
because you ruin everything i'm still living for

hurt him to feel something
but he doesn't care
so how can he be hurt

hurt myself to feel something

it doesn't work

inflict pain just to feel something

just want to feel something
but i just don't know
how to describe how i feel

why do I need to go away?
you’re everything that is good

the ones that cause the most pain?

you leave me for
the flavor of the month
abandon a feast
to chase after a crumb
she tasted so sweet
but only for bit
the sugar coating is gone
she's just a bitter *****
you miss the way i slid down your throat
straight to the stomach
each touch so rich
it's impossible not to want it
remembering just how smooth it was
but now you've lost the power
to have your cake and eat it too
go find another to devour

crabs in a barrel
i'll never be healthy
if i continue
monetarily
emotionally
boundlessly
supporting these people
no matter mow much i love them
it makes me want to die
that i have to watch them
suffer to then
repeat these cycles
and bring more lives into it
the world feels like such a miserable place to me
i know there's happiness out there that exists
in some shape or form
but i don't feel like it's going to find me
unless i let go of everything i love and know
but if i do that
i wont have anything to hold onto

do i just float away at that point?

if i set myself on fire
i would die knowing i gave and i gave
but it'd be all for nothing
cause nothing might ever change
bring a shotgun

little anxieties
drunk on a doorstep
how'd i end up here
maybe i shouldn'tve acknowledged
my deepest fears
maybe i shouldn't have said anything
before i was sure how i felt
but i was freaking out
and i needed somebody to tell
and i needed to let it out
and get it off my chest
one thing led to another
you already know the rest
i don't even know i'm saying sorry for
you're the one who made me a joke
you get laughed at once
and suddenly i'm the one being cold
i understand why you don't like it
but frankly i didn't either
i'd say let's call it even
but i can tell by your demeanor
you dont want to hear a word from me
so i'm stuck here confused
if you don't want me to apologize
what else am i supposed to do
because we can't avoid each other forever
we share too much to succeed at that
at the very least i wanna address the issue
even if i can't take it back
so we're not walking around the problem
letting it become bigger than us
to the point it's so ******* awkward
being in your vicinity *****
maybe im being hopeful
but i am dying to work this out
**** can we just be cool
cause you're always gonna be around

i feel so good
i feel loose
i feel ready
i feel the need to be used
i feel like satin
wrapped into a noose
i feel like death
glamorized and seduced
i feel a lot
yet i feel reduced
but i feel it can be fixed
if i could feel you
essentially ***** but alone
go to sleep
go to sleep
not one word
not a peep
ride the wave
out to sea
hear these words
feel their peace
you worked hard
now take release

pried open
i wasn't prepared for how it feels
to be right in this circumstance
sick to the bottom of my heart
replaying the argument over in my head
when the venom was spewing
it wasn't meant to harm
just to dissuade or persuade one another
to lay down our arms
but the flames have swallowed you whole
another abandoned soul
i want to rewind and change it all
but i have no such control
instead i'm right
and you are suffering
i saw it play out in theory
but seeing it is another thing
i want to spare your pain
but the price is paid
i want to offer reprieve
but there's almost nothing to say
when it is what it is
and what was is set on its course
take the visions away
i don't want to be right anymore
i don't want to look

your skin is sloughing off
tender to the touch
i do more harm than good it seems
despite my aching love

you'll wake the baby
hush for just a second
i'm trying to remember every promise i've ever made
and if doing this would hurt
too much or the ones i love or make it all okay
whispers say to do it
before i lose another thing i can't replace
wondering how could one sleep
when they never feel safe
i just wanted one thing
well maybe more but nothing insane
just the ones i love to be happy
and not being so worried about tomorrow i can't enjoy today
but everything i've loved
has gotten snatched away

i don't listen but i hear
all the awful things my own mind says

upon a star
thoughts lost somewhere up in the sky
the stars replace them inside of my mind
all my doubts could fill up the universe
but i'm appreciating how the moon sits so high
gonna enjoy how the darkness is so calm
not focus on what i didn't do right
pushing the negativity somewhere out of existence
just letting myself relax underneath the stars as they shine
no more anxiety or worrying tonight
soaking up the tender moonlight
like i'll never see the fine Miss Luna again
tired of wasting precious time

two weeks notice
i know that you're using my fear of change
to abuse me
and for the longest time i didn't even
wanna leave
with the full knowledge you don't love me
you just can't
get a better deal than this so you exploit me
in every way you can
but now it's past a point of physical pain
or neglect
you say what you want
blatant disrespect
kick me while i'm down
but you didn't have to spit
now i've got no other choice
but to up and quit

no tagbacks
i don't know what it was
i just woke up
and after everything we've done
i had enough
i want to be free of your touch
and ever elusive love
i'm not built for
someone so rough

no explanations
for me either
so don't feel cheated
besides now you get to keep her
your life goes back
everything basically the same
all that i knew was crushed
but i'll cope with that pain

just let me alone now
you've done enough at this point
it's not about how you'd feel
it's my choice
