The Tragedy of Caring

 It's happening again

That feeling of hopelessness

That feeling of me bleeding

That feeling of giving myself away


Is it all in my head?

Why does it feel like I'm forgotten?

Like you've given up caring


Like I'm not important anymore

Like the things I do mean nothing


I can't control this pain in my head

I close my mouth

I keep it shut

Deciding this battle is not worth fighting

So I'll continue to give because it's what I do 

And you will take because it's what you do 


I could hate you but I'll let it go

I'll suffer in silence, like I always do

I deserve this don't I?

Comfort in the falling

Comfort in the pieces breaking

You wouldn't understand


I've tried to fix this but honestly no one cares like me

No one loves like me

No one gives like me


But you just can't see 

Because you are not like me


Again I feel alone

Closing the wounds with my hands

Holding the pain in 

Breathing it in 


I could give you the world, but would that be enough for you

It never mattered

I'll be here when no one else will


The tragedy of caring

To Love Me

 To love me

To love me is to know my pain

To love me is to know my sadness

To love me is to know my shame

To love me is to know I can't be tamed 

You say you love me

Are you prepared

Prepared for the break

Prepared for the self-hate

Prepared for the self medicate

Prepared for the self-sabotage

I am my own worse enemy but as much as I hate myself I'll love you the most.

I'll give you everything because even when there's nothing left for me I'll use it to love you. 

To love me is to be prepared to replace all the love I give away. 

Are you up for the task?

Will You Remember Me

 I'm strong but cold

That bubbly exterior hides it

Inside I'm broken

I'm distant

I'm dying

I can't control it


I feel numb

I can't even express the words I need to say

I'm a tragedy

I'm a mistake


I hold this pain in my hands

You can't see it but it's still there

Bleeding

Tearing a hole in my heart


I'm angry

I want to yell

I want to punch


The sadness and anger swells in me

Imploding


Internally a war is waging

You don't know me

I'm losing my mind


Mentally exhausted

overwhelmed


Will you think of me

Will you remember me

Will you be there when nothing is left...




I've never been the pretty girl

Have you ever felt pretty? Could you describe the feeling to me? I've never been the pretty girl I've never been the anything-girl I...
