it felt like time finally slowed down for a bit,

or maybe i was the one

who finally caught up to it

mother

take your hands from my history and release me

father

take your words from my past and release me

mother, father

let me go let me be free let me live

mother-

father-

release me

your love should not be a prison and my life should not be a jail cell

release me

let me love you on my own accord

quotes i like mostly probly because of my mommy issues

“Mother, make me, make me a big grey cloud so I can rain on you things I can’t say out loud.” Florence Welch

“Years later, I am seventeen. Half daughter, half apology, all fire and the wrong kind of love. When my mother asks if I am gay, I tell her I am sorry.” Blythe Baird

“Be my mother, I said to the trees, in the language of the trees which can’t be transcribed, and they shook their hair back and they bent low with their many arms and they looked into my eyes as only trees can look into the eyes of a person, they touched me with the rain on their fingers till I was all droplets, till I was a mist, and they said they would.” Emily Berry

“My mother is fruit soaked in alcohol. On good days, I call her sangria. The rest of the time, she’s just an alcoholic.” Natasha T. Miller

“Mother, I have pasts inside me I did not bury properly. Some nights, your daughter tears herself apart yet heals in the morning.” Ijeoma Umebinyuo

“I need a father, I need a mother, I need some older wiser being to cry to. I talk to God but the sky is empty.” Sylvia Plath

“If you are sorry that you broke my heart, then I am sorry I have you trapped in the mudroom at a frat party discussing what’s left of my mother’s hand.” Kevin Kantor

“My mother thinks I should come home at the weekends. Perhaps I should get more exercise. Perhaps I should get diagnosed. You don’t know what I’ve done in the small hours. You don’t know what I’ve done to cope.” Phoebe Stucks

“Baba and I lived in the same house, but in different spheres of existence.” Khaleed Hassein

i need soft love right now. to be held, have my hair stroked, loving words if not a comfortable silence. there’s nothing better than having someone take care of you when you feel sad, lost, or just not like yourself

there's so much love and hope stored in spring and summer its true

[soulmatesaredumb]

I hate myself for having to sit here and be torn between I know not what within me. Here I am, a bundle of past recollections and future dreams,

“I’m homesick all the time … I just don’t know where home is. There’s this promise of happiness out there. I know it. I even feel it sometimes. But it’s like chasing the moon - just when I think I have it, it disappears into the horizon.”

— Sarah Addison Allen

i can’t believe me “trying my best” is just me showering regularly and eating normally. mental illness is so humbling 

[soulmatesaredumb]

Days I feel like a human being, while other days I feel more like a sound. I touch the world not as myself but as an echo of who I was.

the truth is, i dont have the guts to kiII myself. i want to walk busy roads and dark alleys in the hopes someone will do it for me

Its hard to live and work on a life that doesnt feel like your own

[soulmatesaredumb]

you didn’t lie when you said you were busy.

you were busy;

but not in a way most people would understand.

you were busy taking deeper breaths.

you were busy silencing irrational thoughts.

you were busy calming a racing heart.

you were busy telling yourself you were ok.

sometimes, this will be your busy.

and you don’t have to apologize for it.
