أنت ذلك الـ "لا شيء" عندما يسألني الناس عما أفكر فيه

You're that "nothing" when people ask me what I'm thinking about."

☆ If the character has a tragic backstory, sarcasm as a defense mechanism, and issues—congrats, I’m in love.

Pit of rage

Rage

Rage

Against the morning light

Rage

Rage

Against the fading night

This pit in my stomach

It grows with every breath

Every tick of the clock

Every beat of the heart

Scream

Scream

At everyone around you

Scream

Scream

In the face of one who loves you

Every sense on high alert

Every sound adding to the ire

The voices won’t stop screaming

Their agony echos in the brain

Green

Green

It floods the gaze

Green

Green

It boils the blood

It’s all encompassing

It’s brimming at the edges of vision

Every person is an enemy

Every loved one is in the way

Make it stop

Make it stop

This pit of rage

Make it stop

Make it stop

This bubbling mess inside

Nothing feels right

Everything is wrong

Nothing feels the same

Everything is different

The person in the mirror

Those eyes tinted green

It’s the same face

But the soul behind the eyes has changed

Pain

Pain

The chest is tight with rage

Pain

Pain

The mirror shatters under pressure

The reflection is now distorted

Cracked in all the right places

Broken in all the right ways

Twisted and wretched just like the soul

Because whatever emerged from those waters

The monster in that mirror

Has nothing left

But rage

The biggest act of love is to work on oneself—to work on one's mental health, to heal, grow, and become a better version of oneself.

You will never truly understand someone who is heartbroken until you have had your heart broken by someone you really loved. Joy
