take life seriously enough to realize each moment doesn’t last forever, but have enough fun knowing that the memories of those moments do.

every now and then i miss the man you used to be. until i’m reminded that he was just veiled the man you are now.

i’m not a stranger to the dark. i’m used to it by now. it seems all too familiar now. but it breaks my heart that this 20 something is as familiar with the darkness as my 7 year old self was.

- it shouldn’t have been that way

please tell me it’ll be ok, after all this toil & strife

please tell me that it’s not all like this, that there is more to life

- cause i’m losing hope there is

[lettersiwrotebutneversent]

do all twenty somethings always feel this lonely?

when will someone stop and take the time to just hold me?

-hold me

down the hall

the girl didn’t grow up being scared of the monster under her bed. or goblins hiding in the closet. she grew up fearing the monster in the bedroom across the hall.

now the girl is grown. she’s made friends with the monster under her bed and the goblins in the closet. girl isn’t scared of the monster across the hall anymore.

once upon a time

and it was that moment she realized: the two of them were much like a coin, forged together but never facing the same direction.

someone’s

do you ever wonder what it’s like to be someone’s?

someone’s first call, last text kind of feeling?

someone’s drop everything and sit with you til 2am cause you’re not ok and can’t be alone kind of feeling?

someone’s late night drive through old neighborhoods kind of feeling?

someone’s let it all out in the passenger seat with tears streaming down your face, but it’s ok because they’re there with you kind of feeling?

cause sometimes I do.

and I pray to God I’m not alone on this one.

partners in crime

no amount of freedom changes the fact that you still held me captive. a prisoner in my own mind. my only companions were that of Worthlessness and Brokenness, that you’d ingrained in me from my youth.

what i wish i knew then

it’s not selfish to want to take care of myself. i’m so tired of you telling me I can’t care about my mind. about my own mental health. it’s not selfish to stop everything else and try to take care of myself. stop making me feel like the bad guy for needing time alone.

i shouldn’t feel guilty for taking care of my mind. cause at the end of the day, I spend more time there than anywhere else.

by myself

why do you make me feel like I’m a horrible person for wanting to take time to heal myself?

turn

I’m used to it.

being the other one.

not being good enough.

I’m always number two.

always second pick.

when will it be my turn?

to the ones who broke me

you drew me in your box, but I gave you the pen,

now I’m stuck in the pages of your book with no end.

you told me you loved me, now your opinion has swayed;

i don’t wish things were different, I just wish that you stayed.

unsaid things

how many words go left unsaid; locked deep within the heart

for Fear holds tightly to the tongue and vows He'll never part?

what words would flow from our lips if Fear should ever give in,

if we were not so afraid... where would we begin?

what would happen if tomorrow I came face to face with Death,

but behind me lingered heartfelt words regretfully left unsaid?

from the archive

it’s exhausting on every level to be around someone who took everything from you but acts like you’re the villain in the story.

talk

you don’t talk and they say you’re stuck up or fake.

you do talk and somehow you’re a blabbermouth.

where’s the middle ground?

later

four years later and you still make me feel worthless.

unwanted.

a waste of space.

you still make me wonder why he chose me.

why he wants me.

cause we all know I’m not worth it.

four years later and you still make me feel like I’m nothing.
