Selfish


Selfish
Please turn away,
I can handle this on my own.
I do not want you to understand.
I am selfish,
scared,
and tired of you trying.

Do you want me to tell you the reasons?
Do you want me to tell you the truth?
I do not want to make you feel pain,
or guilt.

I'm protecting you 
from sleepless nights,
 miserable secrets,
honest answers.

Do not try to understand.
Secrets are kept for a reason...

I promise I will not speak,

my thoughts belong to me.

Gift

Photo from:  AuthenticGrowth.com Words talked over, my voice inside my head Eyes controlled me, my skin burned, cut, and dead Anxiety, told me the biggest lies Notebook pages, soaked up all my loud cries Every mistake, piled up on my chest Heart beat, fast pace, impossible to rest The attention, self-esteem took hold of It hurts to unwrap, what a gift is self-love. 

Ink

I'm only writing because I have an urge. And all of these feelings, I will have to submerge. From the guilt after, telling someone my pain. The embarrassment, of my my borderline brain. The insecure lies, my anxiety finds. The weak side of me, reattached to their minds. When I'm all alone, those caring voices sink Today I'll save me, It's better done in ink. -Belle Rose
