I absolutely adore book dedications, I hope one day I find someone I love enough to dedicate my work to 

- dedication from Gallant by V E Schwab

screaming at the top of my lungs

no body ever heard me

but now I whisper my words

and you answer, always so clearly

i forget sometimes how much it hurts

to put your trust in someone and have it thrown back in your face

I guess I’ll never learn how to be cautious

it’s strange that as we grow

we change things about ourselves we used to love

just to fit into an ideal we don’t even know

toxic people are everywhere

but i think i’ve finally leant

that just because i can't escape them

doesn't mean i have to care

Don’t get me wrong, I love sharing my poetry with you. But recently I’ve been kind of thinking about this. Because I’m scared that because of me posting my work, it will become a thing I do for others and not myself. I tend to fall into these kinds of patterns because I’m such a people pleaser, and I need a lot of validation. I still write for myself, to get my emotions and thoughts out of my body and turn it into art. It’s something I’ve always loved to do, and I will always love to do. So don’t worry, I won’t stop posting my writing. But this is definitely something that has been on my mind lately..can anyone relate?

I broke and you didn’t even notice

is my acting just that good

or do you just not care?

I’ll put myself back together again

but I won’t make those mistakes again

(life has been awful in lockdown and I took a lot of time to myself just working out what I wanted for myself and the direction my mental health was going was not good. I will be very on and off for the time being as I found myself spirally and my poetry and words taking some very dark turns so trying to do things that make me happier intentionally hope you all understand! - a.s)
