Forever Labeled
The word addict floats above my head like my own personal rain cloud A constant reminder of how many times I have failed A reminder that I need to be grateful Because I hit my rock bottom with enough force that every bone in my body shattered into razor sharp shards It’s all popping out of my skin And I never let them heal properly because I didn’t know I needed to heal
I see friends I had when I was half asleep and I feel so disconnected from them As if we never spent time under the bridge that we never scored only to have it gone within hours Always on a bender each one of us has our own reasons And I can only speak of mine Heartbreak and abandonment

As Do You
As the sunrise fills me with joy and warmth
as do you.
As the rain makes me cold and shaky
as do you.
As the moon brings me darkness and fear
as do you.
As the thunder overpowers me with horror
As do you.
As the flowers bloom it blooms my blissfulness
As do you.
And as I hit the joint it aluminates my happiness while making me feel content
As do you with every word spoken to me.

I love art
I love drawings, paintings, music, poems, sex, books, nature, people,singing, dancing, screaming, molding
that’s what art truly is
art is everywhere
art is everything, find love in anything🌀

You sleep as I hold you
Forehead to forehead.
Chest to chest
our breath in rhythm,
rising and falling in aching unison.
Our legs a mess of need and comfort,
like we forgot where one ends and the other begins.
I thread my fingers through your hair,
slowly, like worship,
memorizing the way you feel beneath my touch.
I trace your jaw with soft hands,
aching to taste your sleepy mouth
To merge into you
half-lost to dreams,
and entirely too dangerous.
You are beautiful in the way storms are beautiful
and just as destructive.
I whisper warnings into my own mouth
Don’t fall.
Don’t reach.
Don’t drink from a fountain that doesn’t promise a pour.
Because I’ve poured love into too many broken things,
hoping they’d become whole.
I’ve adored too many hearts that shut their doors to me just as I arrived at their mercy.
The fear claws me from the inside
What if I hand you all of me
and you recoil?
What if I were to call this love
and you just call it… nice?
But this distance I keep
this cold uncontrollable control
it’s killing me softer than rejection ever could.
To resist the pull of you is to exile myself from the only place I’ve ever felt seen.
I want to fall into you
like hunger into a feast,
like flame into gasoline.
I want you to see me and stay.
To stay and see me.
I want the late night laughter,
the delirious, sleepy mumbles of nonsense and secrets,
the sun on skin kind of warmth that you press into me
like light coming through the linen.
Soft. Slow. Sacred.
Only a fool would resist the divinity that is you.
Still, I stay hidden.
Damaged. Frozen. Afraid.
I don’t know how to tell you that there’s a hole where my sense of self used to live.
That someone took her long ago
ripped her out of me when I was too young to know what was mine to protect.
So now I wonder, trembling in your embrace
How can I offer you a woman I cannot find?
How can I be known by you,
when I no longer know myself..?

Sometimes you don't fit in the picture
Much too different than what's around
Not what turns their heads or catches their eye
You feel like the wrong song in their playlist
A mistake maybe
Perhaps they don't realize you don't blend in their surroundings
So lopsided one needs to just walk
Walk until the frame becomes clearer
When you can breathe air that doesn't feel foreign
Until you don't have to wonder.... why

When will we ever find the point of contentment?
It's not enough to ponder if the glass is half full or empty.
We often look to aquire the entire well.

That look
How can you look at me like that
With love and desire
And now with hatred and bitterness
While I’m stuck gazing at you with despair from a far.
guys this is my first time trying to write anything in like three-four years anyways.

“I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings - even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people. You only have control over yourself and how you choose to be as a person. As for others, you can only choose to accept them or walk away.”
