Just because I’m not on the floor holding pills to my mouth
Does not mean I stopped needing you.
I’m not fine.
I’m not healed.
That’s not how it works.
I read.

I read.
I think it’s because the words on the page and the screen, Are words I need to hear.
Words I can relate to.
Words that my mind is hungry for
And my heart is breaking for.
Words that no one will ever tell me.
Words that I need to survive.
Show me I’m not alone.
In this world full of heartbreak
And anger
And sadness
And pain
And fear.
Show me that you care.
Show me that you’re here.
I
need
you
to
stay
with
me.
Please
don’t
go.
I
need
to
know
I’m
not
alone.
Because
I’m
terrified
of
what
I
might
do
if
I’m
alone.
I’ve had enough of your hypocrisy.
I don’t want more excuses.
I’m tired of being sorry.
I didn’t eat.
I didn’t want to inconvenience you.
Do not speak unless spoken to.
Do not take up more space than your worth.
Don’t look the wrong way.
The scars that last the longest are the ones who’ve seen no wounds.
I once knew a girl a lot like you.
Her story is sad but true.
She walked through her life with a smile: her disguise.
Always hiding the pain in her eyes.
