I literally feel sick from crying so much.
im so scared the rest of my life is gonna feel like this
“last weekend, i cried. alone, and in the dark i cried. with one hand holding my stomach, and another covering my mouth, i cried. i cried for who i used to be, for who i am now, and for who i hope to be. i cried for the hundreds of scars decorating my body, and for the urges so unbearable and relentless that i thought i wouldn’t make it. i cried for all the sleep i lost trying to destroy myself, and for the weight i dropped trying to achieve the impossible”
— i cried for me
You need a private talk? Just send me an ask!:)
Coming to the conclusion that nobody actually wants me or needs me. I’m unimportant and invisible. I’ll soon disappear and everything will still be the same it’ll be better for everyone, the good thing about people not caring about me
i wish i was better
“I didn’t want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that’s really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you’re so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.””
— Ned Vizzini
here’s a list of some of my favorite slam poems because slam poetry is beautiful and wonderful and incredible and lovely and everything
sienna burnett- “U Fine?”
“my mother has a texting language all her own and when she asks, “U Fine?” this means somewhere, very recently, there was another bullet-stop ending. there was another trigger parade.”
karina stow- trigger warning
“i don’t believe in lying to children, but when she asks me what’s wrong i still tell her the storybook version; i tell her that once, a bad man broke into my home. i wish i’d also told her that bad men look like respectable young men–trigger. that bad men will compliment your nana on her lemon squares. bad men write love poems- trigger. bad men smile so wide they will swallow you and you, you will convince yourself you asked him to.”
don luben- 14 lines from love letters or suicide notes
“i came home on thursday and found all of the chairs in the house stacked in a pile in the center of my kitchen; i don’t know how long they have been like that, but it must have been me that did it. it is the kind of thing a ghost might do, to prove to the living he is still there. i am haunting my own apartment.”
tucker bryant- facts about myself
“but being built like a short story is a lesson in finding other ways to be the tallest tale in the room.”
sarah kay- love letter from a toothbrush to a bicycle
“i know about your rough edges and i have seen your perfect curves, and i will fit into any spaces you let me. if loving you means getting dirty, bring on the grime, i will leave this porcelain home behind.”
savannah brown- i wish i was (a flaw examination)
“i wish i was more interesting but that might be one of those things where everyone else thinks i’m interesting, but i don’t because i’m me and i know i spend most of my days wearing pajamas in my room, which isn’t that interesting.”
phile kaye- beginning, middle, and end
“like the night you thought you were invincible, ran out into the lightning storm with a million keys tied to a million kites, and a clench in your jaw that said, “take me with you, goddammit, i dare you.” and the week you finally reached out to feel your father’s cheeks and just found paper cuts.”
dia davina- emergency room
“dont touch my heart when it’s thundering. you wouldn’t swim in a lightning storm, would you?”
melissa newman-evans- 9 things i would like to tell every teenage girl
“you remember that metaphor about killing you being stealing your voice? sometimes…the world will actually try to kill you. you’ll never deserve it.”
desiree dallagiacomo- sink
“is that not living? being so close to death that you paint it on your skin?”
Leave. I don’t want to suffer anymore.
Lets talk about how hard it is to open up to someone about being sad for no reason. Lets talk about how hard it is to explain to your friends and family that you have this heavy feeling in your chest for no reason. Lets talk about how hard it is to understand why you’re having a panic attack while just taking a walk back home. Lets talk about how hard it is to understand your own self and how scary it is to feel like the whole world is falling on your shoulders and you have no idea why .
