I miss the way I viewed the world before I knew too much about it

Forsaken

-

If my voice breaks

When explaining,

You do not push to hear more.

I fall back into silence,

The heaviness pressing against my chest.

The irregular beat of my heart

A reminder of failure.

So many untold stories

Die beyond my lips.

They wreak havoc on my insides,

Consume what remains of me,

Change me into a shell of who I use to be-

"Goodnight." You yawn.

Goodnight.

I smile.

And slip out of bed..

To struggle to breathe in the silence

Alone.

reflection

I yearn to mirror the same face,

Longing for a sense of belonging,

Yet, I remain apart.

Despite attempts to share their laughter,

Or dress to match their standards,

My efforts only highlight

The stark contrast of my difference.

My nose, slightly oversized,

Eyes too wide and brown,

Hair rebelliously curly,

A muffin top, jeans worn thin.

my refusal of going out often

because my pocket cries it's own misery

I am a spectacle of embarrassment

I wish to spare others this pain.

you’re right, nobody said it was going to be easy. but nobody said it would rip me and my heart and soul inside out, feasting on my love and stability until i am left on the floor, covered in tears and blood, and thoroughly empty.

Two Very Different Conversations About Love

I had two people tell me two different things about love today.

My neighbor's wife passed away recently. He told me to be wise when thinking about the people I loved. He told me to forgive everyone I can. I smiled slyly and said as much as I can.

My mother asked me if it were possible to be in love with two people at the same time. Can people be in love and remain friends? Even if they are with someone else? She asked me while I was folding laundry.

The complexity of human emotions.

i breathe breathe in through my nose hold it for a little while i breathe out through my mouth my head tilted back face to the sky except the sky is not in sight the sight is nothing but a ceiling a ceiling in a room filled with smoke and sounds the breath that could have been so beautiful so perfect it could have been just right but it’s nothing but a chase for the high the breathing through the nose just to get it inside the holding of the breath the breathing through the mouth my head tilted back all just to keep it inside to keep the courage, the pleasure, the bliss, the powder the powder is the point the point is the powder

Emergency Exit

I wish my body had an emergency exit, so that I could leave it whenever these feelings become too much to handle.

I would just run down the hallway, passing the doors to forgotten memories, that I never want to uncover again.

Sprinting for the exit leading me out of all that I am and don't wanna be.

Breathing in some fresh air and feeling free from everything that should have never happened but changed me deeply.

And when I remember who I am without these feelings haunting me, I will be ready to go and take back control over my body.

-Ri.

Plastic Anxiety

I do not know why but this anxiety clings to my chest like shrink wrap, caging my lungs so they may only breathe so deeply

someone must have packaged me up in my sleep, stamped me for some unknown destination

I am boxed in like a doll, stiff joints filled with microplastics and a head full of air, as if I am just waiting for someone to pick me up, fill me with their imagination until I become a person again

but I am buried in deep mud, at least that is how forming thoughts these days feels, like I have been paddling for ages but never seem to get anywhere

I am trapped in this muck with a devil that has burrowed it's way into my spine, whispering lies into the back of my head

and I know they are untrue, but she uses my own voice, and like baiting a fish with a worm I always begin to fall for it, and the hook skewers through my lip. the pain revives me from my self loathing, but there I lay, beached

I'm right where you left me

Still calling your name

It's just like the movies

I weep in the rain

I'm right where you left me

Hoping for closure

Hugging my elbows

I wish you were closer

enchanted by the vivacious attempts to undermine the complexity of your darker side, she immersed her surfeited soul into your self-fought battle; against your shadow’s tide.

streams of rigid self-doubt pour from the weakened seams, as she observed everything appears as not what was first seen. – reality never wholehearted nor ever believed.

pleading and despondent - her misty gaze stares, longing to feel the warm glimmer; the capacity to care. illuminated by the fear of time, clinging onto each moment as she waits for aurora skies, to end the somber hymns of missed calls and cries.

she searches for beginnings and what they mean, to ask a question of value - to be truly alive or stuck awake in a dream? his words so wintry, and her words, a scream, always treading waters rougher than they seem.

lukewarm security has a place to stay, it resides in all the words he only knows how to say. fragment our illusions - there's only myself to blame, it's the only way my mind makes circumstances to stay. and it never matters what the truth resolves, because you can break my heart and i still believe it is always my fault.
