One of my favorite songs from an old favorite band.

I still struggle every day to fight the urge to hurt myself. Some days it is easier, and other days, it’d be easier to put a bullet through my skull. Trying to move on from that is like trying to change how your brain is wired. Everyone says it will get better, that it will go away, but I’m not sure it ever will, even if I am content in life.

My disorder is a room where
The floor is made of broken glass
And I am naked
Society expects me
To get to the door
On the other side
Without bleeding
A poem about BPD (via buffythegilmoregirl)

maybe i’m not easy to love.
i have a strong heart. it’s a strong
heart but sometimes it still
hurts when people try to pull on it.
it’s my lungs that are the
problem. i lose my breath faster
than i lose my headphones.
it’s like my lungs are two balloons
being squeezed too tightly
and my chest concaves
and i feel like they’re going to just
pop. i’m not easy to love.
it’s more than just that.
i do impulsive things like cut
all of my hair off and tell you i
love you before i’m sure
i do. and one day you’ll wake up
and you’ll notice that i’m
not as kind as you thought i was.
or i’m not as smart.
or as pretty.
and you’ll realise i’m not
easy to love. you’ll
realise you just wanted to believe
i am. that you’d managed
to convince yourself otherwise.

It’s starting to scare me.
I used to cry all the time.
Most nights there would
be tears shed on my pillow.
Salt stains billowing out,
blotches painting the case -
a postmodern/abstract canvas.
So many feelings whirling
and storming within me,
I had to let them all out.
I’d wake with puffy eyes
and a runny nose - telltale
giveaways, I think people
chose to believe I had bad
allergies. They’re gone now,
the well is dry and I don’t know
what’s worse - the feeling
of everything crushing down
upon my chest causing leaky
eye pipes to burst in the dark
privacy of night, spilling out
the excess; or this… emptiness.
This hollow of nothing that has
opened itself up in the core of me,
spreading out to my extremities
like some kind of flesh eating
disease. It’s an infection of numb,
even when I know things should
be hurting, I can’t feel a fucking thing.
It’s really starting to scare me
that I can’t remember the last time
I cried, and I’m fucking terrified at
what might happen, when I finally do.
What happens when the tears break through and I start to feel again? // © @rarasworldbro (via rarasworldbro)
