I have found what I was looking for.
Peace, harmony with who am, who I'm meant to be .
I know I am love and peace.
I will protect that with teeth and claws.
No one will destroy me again.
I have won.
I am powerful and I will show the world, what I am truly capable of.

“conversations with good intentions, exchanges that feel like cardio sessions for the soul, dialogue directed in growth that lead you back to yourself, words wrapped in vulnerability and soaked in honesty, conversations like this.”

“I’m a liar because I don’t tell you everything. I’m stupid because sometimes I can be wrong. I’m ugly because my face isn’t perfect. I’m a pushover because I like making you happy. I’m a loser because I’m not friends with your group. I’m fake because I’m too nice. I’m weird because I’m not like you. I’m fat because I eat when I’m hungry. I’m clingy because I’m afraid of being alone.”
— “I’m sorry for being myself”, anastasiasyah (via anastasiasyah)

I’ve struggled,
So much for a long time,
Dark thoughts came to mind,
Late at night,
At my most vulnerable state,
I was broken down,
I couldn’t go on,
But I’ve found my strength,
I am not scared of those dark thoughts anymore,
I know I am strong,
And that peace and innocence,
That was stolen from me,
Is now coming back,
And once I am myself again,
No one will have the power to break me,
Not anymore,
Not ever,
It is time to rebirth,
And be strong,
Unstoppable.

Love is hard to comprehend,
I’ve never really understood,
What love truly is,
I would have to experience it,
Feel it,
But,
I haven’t had the chance,
Or the time,
Or the need to feel loved,
Maybe I am not used to it,
I will change,
I want to love,
Want to care about someone,
Want to live for someone,
But will that day ever come.

It’s gonna come,
I feel it near,
The day I give up,
I’m tired of waiting,
Waiting for something,
Good?
Fantastical?
Exciting?
I don’t know anymore,
I guess,
What I am really waiting for,
Is a feeling,
I’ve been numb,
For such a long a time,
I don’t remember feeling,
I guess,
That is what I’m truly waiting for.

I just don’t understand,
What is it?
What’s so terrible about me?
Why can’t someone love me?
I think and think,
Every night,
Cry myself to sleep,
Thinking,
Am I that terrible?
That broken?
That those around me,
Just find so difficult to love,
I don’t know,
I do not understand,
What’s so bad about me?
Why is it so hard to love me?
