I know I’m not seventeen anymore.
I’m not the teenage girl, thirsting for someone to finally listen to her.
I’m not as broken anymore.
I can say “I love you” to my parents without the pinch in my heart. I can talk to them about the things that happened after seventeen.
I don’t crave him anymore. I no longer push against the winds for less. I no longer fight battles to be held.
I am safe.
I am loved.
Yet, I read over the messages that I sent when I was seventeen.
I sifted through millions of them, scrolling endlessly as I poured my heart into the hands of the people I trust.
Then, I remember.
I remember the things I was called. The loneliness that creeps back up my throat. The hatred for my soul, the willingness to leave. I remember why anger travels in my blood, why sadness is etched into my heart. I can never forget how my youth is forever tied to the people that I don’t talk to anymore.
I thought the sea had washed it away. Someone must have opened the bottle and found seventeen me inside
Still feeling, still hurting, still begging.
I want to forget again. I want to scrub it off me.
I don’t want to feel.
I don’t want to remember; not the way I had to scream, not the way I was cast aside, not the way the promises made were broken. I wish to erase all of it.
I used to pray to die.
And now I pray for strength.
Please don’t make me knock on death’s door again.
a/n: just a lil drabble. i'll be back with updates on 'you, among the art' and other stories soon! and if you're reading this, i hope you realize that even if you aren't seventeen anymore (or whatever age), it doesn't have to be a bad thing. you've changed and you're still here. we're all proud of you.
