Sad
I like being sad
For it is the only emotion I feel
It engulfs me in its arms
Making me feel safe and protected

Sadness means not having to be scared
About things going bad
Because I know they will
And knowing makes me feel brave

Sadness helps me churn out poems
Inspires me to make some art
It’s what I take comfort in
For it never really leaves me alone
realizing that i'm not the kind of person
that has people,
i'm the person that people have.
i'm not meant to be loved,
im meant to love.
i'm not meant to be supported,
im meant to be supportive.
Im not meant to be anything more
than the person who's there
when other people need them.
i'm the person who people only reach out to when they need someone
I'm convenient.
When truth and lie collide

only truth survives.
My mom worried about me
She wanted me to join a club
Make some friends
Relax and have some fun

Look ma, I finally joined one
It convenes at 3 AM
Every single day

All my friends are here-
Anxiety depression and trauma
Having a party in my head
I’d much rather believe
That you don’t see me
Than worry that
You do and choose not to
They say the first step to healing
Is loving yourself
I guess I’ve lost the battle
Before it could even begin
💍

She may walk like fire
and speak like wine,
but her lips
carry the ashes
of another man’s home.

Desire is not worth
the ruin you inherit.
No glory is found
in tasting
a betrayal
you didn’t earn.

🖤
Never sleep with another man’s wife. Some doors are locked for a reason. Kicking them open only brings ghosts.
