perfection

¨Staring at myself through shards of broken glass. The girl staring back with the lonely eyes doesn't look like me. I long for the moments when I could appreciate someone complimenting me, when I could go without comparing myself to other girls. I had taken that contentment for granted. I couldn't tell you what changed. Suddenly I was too fat, suddenly I was just an ugly girl blending into the crowd. People still called me beautiful, beautiful is great but beautiful isn't perfect. Instagram filled my head with pictures of what I thought perfection should be. A habit grew to an obsession and I couldn't handle it. My brain was jumbled by ways to make myself perfect. But what is perfect? Who is sitting at a table making the boundaries and the standards for perfection and beauty? I wish somebody would have told me that perfection is only being content with yourself. But those are just words, and would I have believed them?¨

I used to know you but I shut my mind to you

You had infected me for too long

time

Clocks ticking

Pens clicking

Typing away on laptops

Yawns due to sleep deprivation

Sighs in frustration

Foot taps as if to hurry up time

The group of whispers in the corner

And you,

The music too loud in your ears

Just trying to drown out the thoughts that threaten to swallow you

Sitting here in this classroom

You stare out the window and wonder what's beyond the hills

What's over the horizon

Thereś so much more than you could imagine, but thatś not what scares you

What scares you is you might be stuck here your whole life

The clock keeps on ticking reminding you that life doesn't last forever

A dark heart with bitter lips

and shallow eyes searching for you

Hold your breath

Some people call me funny

Others prefer the term incoherent

I´d agree with both

I don´t think my parents determined the stress I would cause

A mistake unjustifiable ..

I hurt everyone because I can't commit

I pull and pull but then push away

Too scared to let them too close

They might see the demons that haunt me

Everywhere I go, forests go up in flames

Everything's kind of closing in

Like a box too small

Hold your breath; don´t breathe

It´ll kill you quicker

What a funny thing love is,

I say no

But it happens anyway.

Manipulation

He had a beautiful sense of adventure and a wonderful laugh,

He kissed her and all she could think was,

"I'm screwed."

No one told her of the horror to come.

No one told her that the most heinous objects come in the most alluring packaging.

And what, my dear, shall I write then?

When my mind can no longer produce words, and when my tongue ceases to move?

Only of the memories that are far behind.

When the heart splits

I told you I loved you,

But the words died before spoken

I knew you could never love me

The way I loved you; so unbroken

So I pretended I hated you

And looked away from your stare

Because if I look at your arms

I’d always want to be there
