I was feeling nostalgic
before the shutter clicked.
We would miss this,
I knew.
Hidden away in the trees and moss
trying to forget everything that wasn’t green.
Five people in a cabin
built for two.
Sharing stories
and cracking jokes
but no one
getting hurt.
Realizing
that I would be happy
with these people
knowing every part of me.
When we were younger
the beauty of these moments
would be lost on us.
But now we’re grown up
and each of us are dreading
to go back to work.

Pixie dust sparkling
Slowed down breaths
No more dark depths
Realized there’s not a song I could send,
not a song I could write
but I’m gonna try and get it right
Late night car rides
City lights flashing by
Radio through the stereo setting the vibe
Excited yells towards one another
Perfect understanding harmony
Celebrating the rare differences
Teaching through separate experiences
Born a day after the other
We we clearly meant to thrive together
Fifteen years apart
and yet it seems we share one heart
One bump on the string
and we both go tumbling
and we both fall down
because we are bound
but I know, given the choice
We wouldn’t cut the tie
between you and I
I want you to know
I would cut my throat
Straight to the bone
Just to know
I’d never
lose
you

Dear judge
You never met me in court
although you sentenced me
to ten years in prison
and a lifetime of resentment
I’d done nothing wrong
I was a child
Too young and too scared to speak up

your hands taint everything you touch
including me
Now I have to carry this shit til I die I
can never get that hairstyle
can’t ever do things the way you told me
even if it’s the easiest
I have the curse of never being able to forget your words

It’s crazy how an apology could make me so angry
It’s clear you were calling me lazy
Walked into my pine box you built
and told me you were sorry for my actions
How the fuck does that work?
Is my pale pallor hard on your eyes?
You claimed you did me an injustice
Somehow this all seems backwards
Said you shoulda brought me outta my coffin more often
Well I didn’t wanna leave
So how ‘bout you apologize
for the world you contoured outside

Discount Clothes
I wear my discount clothes around you
Cause your tongue can’t taste taste buds can’t take
my high fashioned ways
Now I ask you, high fashion or the ugly truths
Well the truth is I am who I am
And you’re not changing that

Carbon monoxide in this car
So fucking hot
I can’t breathe
Sweaty palms soak through my jeans
I hear your whispers through my headphone noise
empty promises and thought out ploys

TW sui ment
i can’t think
because if i think then it will get worse
i just suddenly started feeling bad
i don’t want to do anything
i want to lie down
but i can’t go to sleep
so then i’d get bored
i want to go outside
and run until i taste blood
i want to lie down in the field and listen
i want to find a way onto the roof and look at the stars
i want to punch the pavement until my knuckles bleed
i want to go somewhere alone
but im here alone
and im chained
to my bed
all i can do is write
this shitty way to convey
(not well)
the way that i feel
or don’t feel
i want to have long and meaningful conversations
in the dark
with someone who understands
i want to cry
in the dark
with someone who understands
i want to bash my head into the wall
i want
i don’t. fucking. know. what i want.
i don’t feel alive
what the fuck is wrong with me?
i feel like i don’t feel that bad but at the sane time time i want to rip my skin off.
FUCK
what happens when im up there and i can’t just last minute be with someone?
i will really be chained
what if i want to kill myself again
i know i won’t but

im waiting for my hope to die
recently my hope was shattered.
you gave me the straw.
that broke my back.
the straw has built up over the 18 years that i’ve been alive.
the 18 years that you’ve been… somewhere.
the thing is i hate being hopeless.
but somehow i think it will hurt less to be hopeless and accept you,
than keep hoping that you will be my dad.
im tired of wasting my effort on you.
im tired of seeing your lack of effort.

i’ve made my departure
partly.
it’s still “up in the air” about whether or not i’ll come over
but we both know
it’s not happening
i thought i might feel relief “cutting the ribbon”
i did have some relief. but most of it was acceptance.
and that acceptance went hand in hand with sadness
because i have (mostly) accepted
you.
accepted how you’re never going to be vulnerable with me
accepted how you will never truly listen
accepted how you will always defend her
accepted how i can’t ever just. be. enough.
you will always want more.
and i can’t be more.
i can’t be more of something i’m not.
i know you’ve had your suspicions. and you’re right.
i don’t think you know just how right you are.
i am virtually everything you stand against.
yes.
me.
your flesh and blood.
your offspring.
the person you “raised”.
but
i
still
love
you.
will you still love me?

pain demands to be felt

i think i either need to feel pain or great happiness to feel anything
because now i’m alone
and I’m bored
got tired of my distractions
and now I’m numb
and crave feeling alive
but I’m too fucking lazy to do anything about it except write this stupid shit

I’m depressed again
what is even going on?
i just turned 18
i should be so happy
i Was so happy
now all my friends are gone
all my family is gone
except my dog
she’s laying here on the floor in my room
got this fancy computer and i don’t even know what to do with it
got tired of watching netflix
got tired of watching tiktok
got tired of going on social media
got tired of listening to music
got tired of playing on my switch
got tired of listening to podcasts
got tired of eating
got tired of drinking
i got a new piercing
i love it
but im bored again
I’m getting a tattoo on monday
and i see a band in two weeks
so where’s the excitement
now my dog’s walking out
now she’s walking back in
must’ve realized im the only one here
my friend got my bday mixed up
and the thing is i feel bad for feeling bad because i have no reason to feel bad!
I’m just some middle class whiny bitch
no one should have pity for me
i shouldn’t have pity for myself
why am i feeling so bad?
i miss mom
i want to cry
i miss dad, surprisingly
i feel bad for leaving him
although i haven’t really left him
i just need.
i need a father figure to wrap me in his warm embrace and tell me everything is going to be okay
but i’ll never get that
shelby’s walking out again
she must be bored too
i want to throw up and cry but then i’d call myself dramatic
i want to feel something

last fake fathers day card
not the last fake fathers day
i know i’ll have to call
but no more cards
paper filled with lies
with love, you’re the best, you’re always there for me
lies
i wish i could say “happy fathers day” to the people who actually mattered.
the people who i wished could replace you
i still wish they could replace you.
you just take up too much space in my heart
i know this seems cold because it feels cold even to me.
because as nice as i think it would be, i would miss you for some reason
but i would really only miss the good parts of you. which weren’t much.
when i got off the phone with you yesterday i wanted to cry. i felt relief. and sadness Because i had felt relief. i shouldn’t have to be worried.
i was worried you would want me to stay.
you didn’t even ask what my plans were.
i was dreading the topic being brought up but i knew i had to be the bringer.
who knows what would’ve happened if i didn’t. because the pressure was there.
i feel i’m complaining too much. everyone has to pay their dues to this day.
