Bound me in ropes,

tie me up high,

put logs under my body,

set sparks along the binds,

then watch as they climb,

higher and higher,

up onto my dress,

I'll be burned like the trees under me,

my screams louder than the bells,

the smell of cooked flesh,

washing through all around.
P —Pen on paper.
O —Overwhelming emotions.
E —Existing wounds.
T— Tales of the heart.
R— Reflecting ifs and buts.
Y—Yesterday's memory.

You're not abusive
But if thats true then why do i feel a stomach churning sense of dread when you walk through the door?
You're just protecting me
But if thats true then shouldn't I feel safe?
You're just teaching me discipline
But I thought parents weren't supposed to hit their kids to the point of bruises.
You deserve my respect
But why don't I deserve yours, Mom?
What does it feel like?
To wake up and be happy about it
To not want to be one with the bed
To not feel like a burden, to everyone and everything.
It hurts so bad
Want to peel off my skin
Tear everything apart
And shred it to bits
But still won’t be enough
For embers will cry for relief
There exists no respite
Destined for suffering.
I’m tired to the bone
Exhausted
Fatigued
Weary
Even the small tasks
feel like a burden
No!!
I don’t want to get up
Don’t want to pretend
that I am okay
All I want is
a dreamless sleep;
to wake up
as a new person
who no longer feels like this.
was it selfish
when i chose
to end our friendship
because
you
grew to become
toxic?

i was saving myself.
that's not selfish.
it's self awareness.

i didn't deserve
a toxic friendship.
