.
it's like i'm lying
in the bottom
of an empty well
and i'm so certain that
i could cry enough tears
to fill it back up
and swim myself out
but i just... lie there instead.
some days i don't even
feel worthy of drowning.

happy fuckin father's day i guess 😀
my doctor wants me to
write about my trauma,
as if the thought alone
doesn't make me physically sick.
as if i don't spend every poem
trying not to write about him.
i don't want to write about
how he's still controlling my life.
how even all the years,
and all these miles later,
all it takes is someone
mentioning his name
to make me nauseous.
and angry. and terrified.
i am tired of being terrified.
she asks me where in my body
i feel the trauma the most
and i tell her everywhere.
i tell her if it was
localized to one area,
i would have cut it off by now.
i feel it everywhere.
like when you take too deep
of a breath and everything hurts
for a minute, but indefinitely.
i don't know what i did
to hurt indefinitely.

breathing has gotten
harder again lately.
i'm not sure if it's the
gaping hole in my chest
where their love used to be,
or the fact that i'm alone again
and the depression has found
its way back into my rib cage.
or maybe it's the smoking.
i hate that i've fallen back into
all of my bad habits so quickly,
but it's the only way
i know how to survive.
i don't know why life insists
on teaching me lessons
but i hope the next one
is learning how to rest.

It feels like melted candle wax, old books and libraries, dried tear stains, jazz on stormy days , hands stained with ink , smudged lipstick, flowers , sound of water flowing, letters, black and grey lace , piano at night, long lightly dimmed stairs and like reading someone's old diary
literally
folklore lyrics+1989 vibes+ reputation but softer+midnights essence.
I am in love with this album's concept.
Watch me make this album my whole personality!!!!



THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT - TAYLOR SWIFT
all's fair in love and poetry...

sometimes i lay in my bed wondering if this is all life has to offer me. i want more and i beg for more. i need more. i literally don’t belong here, i deserve better. i’m praying that the life i deserve finally comes to me and it’s not just all a dream.

I always wanted to have someone with me during these interrupted uneasy moments of my life but over the time, I became a soldier of my own, fighting to the hordes with full aghast. I got tired of always needing to prove why I am worth living and loving. I need someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want me in their life even when i am falling from grace.
I want to be a star , not a human. Maybe then only , i could just fall and still be appreciated.

Never related to something harder than this.
my new therapist tells me
that we need to do a
depression assessment.
during it, she asks me
if i believe i am being punished.
i ask her, "punished by who?"
and she shrugs at me.
i tell her, "i would have to
believe in a god of some sort
to believe that someone
could be punishing me."
she scribbles something down,
looks away from her paper,
tries to make eye contact,
asks me, "hypothetically,
if there were a god, would you
believe you're being punished?"
and it takes what feels like
an eternity of silence
for me to answer her.
i swallow the lump in my throat.
i settle my stomach with my palm.
i do not meet my therapist's eyes.
i tell her, "there is a reason
i don't believe in god anymore."
