In the end, all I learned was how to love somebody, even if you can't be with them.

Why must I crave the one thing I fear?
I wish to wake up to someone beside me, snoring softly while the morning sun creeps in through the blinds.
I want to be wanted.
Yet the thought of someone falling in love with me is terrifying.
Falling in love is terrifying.
The thought of being left broken is terrifying.

men hate.
men hate women who are too loud
too quiet
too big
too small
too girly
too boyish
too confident
too shy
men hate women they fuck
women they can’t fuck
women they have yet to fuck
women they have fucked before
men hate women in magazines
in tv shows
in movies
in real life
in their own imagination and dreams
men hate sluts and whores and girls who give it up too easily. women who are loose and are past their prime
men hate frigid bitches and dykes and women who tell them no
men hate women.

The Comfort of Depression
'rotting' in bed
burying yourself in pillows and blankets
taking one too many sleeping pills
staying up until 5:00 am
going to sleep until 12:00 pm
'forgetting' to contact friends
losing everybody slowly
letting yourself slip away
crying to comfort yourself
being alone.
Look at your phone in the morning, three new messages
do not respond to them.
theyre not really your friends, you like being alone
being alone is normal, being alone is good
you want to get out of bed? don't.
stay wrapped up in sheets and blankets all day
scroll on your phone until the screen burns into your eyes.
its easier to be like this.
its easier to hate yourself if you don't try
"don't get up. don't change your sheets. don't do your schoolwork."
I listen because when have they ever failed me
This is easy for me.
I like this.
I tell myself I'm ugly, my body's disgusting, i'm a failure, i have no friends, i'm a total social outcast
i'm an idiot, i'm a fraud, a coward, a complete loser
but i have my bed
and i have my sleeping pills
and i have my phone
i hate myself
but at least i can sleep in a little longer.

rain
i dream with blue skies that slowly fill with milk.
i dream about cotton candy and sugar teeth that tenderly rot. 
i dream with salty water and sand in between my toes, blood on my skin just like syrup in a sippy cup.
salty water fills my mouth and later my lungs as I kiss you, and I drown...
and drown...
and drown...
i drown in your tears, baby.

I don’t know how it happened I don’t know what came over me I didn’t think I could write and I never believed I possessed any talent Until you - You had a way with words that I envied An artistic eye, rhythm in each limb I soaked up every last drop of you I studied all of the dog eared pages in your books I put needles in drawers to prick you Hoping for the chance to suck blood off the tips of your fingers Praying I'd receive communion from You I listened to all of your favorite music with your clothes on Just so people might think I am you if they look through our window I didn’t know if I wanted to be you or consume you So I ate every last crumb of you out of spite I swallowed you whole Now you’re all gone And I suddenly learned how to dance I painted portraits of all my old teachers from the yearbooks Then I could feel the ink - Hot wax seeping out of my pores onto napkins and index cards, the backs of newspapers And into letters for new lovers
mydearruth, I Swallowed My Muse

i used to love the way he made me feel helpless without him; loved the way i needed him to live.
i used to love the way he talked down to me; how he catered his words to be in their simplest forms when addressing me. i thought it was tenderness—something that had only been reserved to me and done to me, out of love.
i thought that the way he made me feel small was to protect me. from what? well, i deluded myself into thinking he was protecting me from the big, bad world; that by compressing me into my tender parts, he was shielding me from all evil.
funny how easy it is to mistake cruelty for affection when you have known so little—received so little—of love.

The way you love your favorite artist is something so unique it can’t be replicated.
No other form of love can match its tenderness, yet bitterness
Or the understanding in the face of secrets
The familiarity hidden behind distance.
It’s so powerful and all encompassing that sometimes you forget the target of your affections is a stranger
You feel so close, while being the furthest apart
And it aches.
It aches like an open wound that never heals
But it’s a wound that you wear like a badge of honor.
You showcase it to others that you love and hope they can understand
Sometimes only those with the same scar are the only ones who do.
The love for an artist goes through all the same stages, too.
The uncertainty of the first meeting
The adoration of the first couple of months
The angst after the first year
The commitment of many years to come.
But as fans we learn to accept this strange new love.
We share so many things with our favorite artist
Even with the distance, we learn to admire them from afar
Let them breathe and be free
Because at the end of the day, the fan and the artist are one.
Our only hope is to show that we appreciate them.
Our only hope is that they know they are loved
Together, hand and hand, we create a home filled with music.
Borahae 💜
