Finding Myself  

I've learned more about myself in the last few weeks than the two years
that I have been tied down to one heart.

I also have not had many moments where I wanted to 
pull out my friend-- to cut all my worries into little pieces!
Only a few times,
I promise.
But a few times is better than everyday of my life.

I have another face that I see now before I commit to that first cut.
This face is different though.
This face  isn't helping me do it.
This face isn't causing my pain, my low self-esteem.
This face doesn't just try to make the pain go away with a dark joke.
He actually cares.

Everything is so different with him.
I'm so comfortable around him.
At one moment we will be talking about movies and 
then out of no where, I'll spill some of my deepest secrets...without any regret.


But I love the one who adds to the pain.
The one who has a place on my skin, 
all red and faded.
Always there when I need it though...
which is too often.

Who the hell has places on their skin designated for each person that hurts them...?
Me.
The stupid girl that can't just "get over it".

And now...
the "bandage" is showing up on my cell phone's screen,
butterflies are flying too much in my stomach,
while at the same time,
I'm torturing myself for letting the one who "loves" me persuade me to do, 
again, what he wants.

How did I get into this mess?

All I did was be myself.

Dear Washington, You consumed my joy yet you also added smile You stole my proof-- Proof that there is such thing as fate, that there is such thing as defeating one's fears, and meeting your wish, on the road to Damascus. Take care of my joy, my wish Take care of my Friend

Pencils Down

Pencils Down The paper is in front of me, problem number one, It's the easy one.  I rush through it, because I know all the answers. But I never hear the right answer, because I am too busy saying "I am right". So then I give up and I move on, but this problem has more steps, more thinking,  and my mind is still on the first problem and I keep adding more mistakes... more problems. So I slow down, try to understand all the problems, try to solve it in my head, but now there are too many problems, and I don't know where to start. Are  the edges of the page getting sharp? Are the lines on the page sticking to my skin, the skin covered in panic, the skin covered in tears. I can't keep track of which problem I am on, I'm still on the first one,  and I can't stop looking at it. I'm avoiding everything else on this page, "My answers are stupid!" I start to erase, and rewrite what I thin...

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.
