3am

Now that I know what I’m missing

It’s so hard to not feel alone.

Surrounded by smiles and laughter,

But no one picks up the fucking phone.

And 3am by Halsey satiates my screaming soul;

She knows how it feels to be manic

Late at night when there’s no one to take home.

“It’s 3am and I’m calling everybody that I know.”

why can’t things happen the way I picture it in my head? it’s eating me up inside, like how ants devour a cake at a picnic.

are you thinking about me right now? I don’t know how much longer I can take having this brain anymore. It creates scenarios in my head that just aren’t real yet…

the butterflies that erupt in my stomach whenever I see you are endless and I don’t know if I like it.

these butterflies feel like they are flying into my ears and itching my brain, chaotic but exciting.

no one understands this brain, this brain has always been too much for the world. But when I speak to you, I don’t feel this is the case anymore. I feel like I can truly be me, I’ve never felt like I could ever be myself before…

being me has never been good enough to anyone else…

being me always makes everyone hate me, but with you it’s different. You seem to like me for being me…

Reading Taylor's poetry makes me want more artists to release more poetry books and I already have Halsey's and Florence's (and remember Britney has also done it but not released a book about it though she should)

You seek approval,

my subconscious implemented in my dreams. you build up illusions of yourself

and like a bridge thread of a spider web you give them to others

silky, sticky yet somehow,

you’re smooth enough to lure them to wrap you in all that you desire,

even if it’s their own pleasure.

you’re not stuck you’re waiting, for an ending or a beginning

an unsolicited death, an indefinite life

you fear your own madness but the edge of it is what you live for.

you wait, and wait and wait for love to visit the fragile home you made for yourself in this temporary world

but it’s not what you want, is it ?

because the moment it knocks on your door you rush to the arms of another,

paranoia or melancholy? It doesn’t matter.

you writhe and hiss until you shed a skin of a past life that you held on

For acceptance alone, if nothing else…

what is it that you truly desire?

I don’t know how someone so vile could give me the sweetest kisses on my lips.

I don’t know how such a lying snake could kiss me, poison me with his venom, then slither away like I don’t exist.

I don’t know how such a kind, sweet boy could have turned into such a toxic witches potion.

I thought you were different, but you are just like the rest of them.

Just remember. None of us have any idea what we’re doing either. No one chooses to exist. You just do. You’re gonna be okay.
