the places you’ve been
the things you’ve felt
the obstacles you’ve overcome
they may know some stories, but
they don’t know you, love
not really

I don’t want to be a mess anymore,
but I don’t know how.

I am no good for you, babe
I cannot see passed my past
distrust consumes my mind
constant worry flows through my blood
I hate to say he broke me, but
he broke me, babe
I don’t know if I can ever trust again

haunted by a living ghost
a rotten soul who
finds ways to keep dragging me
back down into the pit
dirtied and tired
of all the bullshit
his lies and omissions
have nearly broken me

my babies
my loves
the other halves of my heart
how could you lie
with such a straight face
how could you pretend to play family
with another woman and
my children
MY CHILDREN
I hope karma gives you
what you deserve

your heart will break
you will cry and
mourn and
wonder
what
you could have done
differently

but you will pick yourself up
go on with your days
the hurt will
eventually
fade
your heart will mend

you have been through
so much already
look at the storms
you have weathered
the shit you have cleaned up
you’ve come out
stronger
braver
better
you are unstoppable

After decades of moving, I think I may have finally found home.

constant consumption of sex
bodies, skin, legs, breasts, asses
thin frames
perfectly made up
faces and hair
posed and filtered
poking at my every fucking
insecurity
until it’s practically
screaming
in my mind
you
will never
look
like this

I am drowning
in feelings of inadequacy
why am I never fucking enough?
I am lost
in a thick layer of distrust
I cannot see where I am going
constantly hitting
dead ends and
rocky roads that lead nowhere
I am tired and
numb
I am drowning
