Accepting the Truth

The hardest part

Wasn’t

Noticing the signs

Hoping they won’t notice the way they hurt you

Knowing they don’t care

Leaving first

Telling yourself to move on

Replaying the memories in your mind

Reminiscing the times you were happy together

Holding back the tears

Wishing they cared as much as you did

 

The hardest part

Was accepting the truth

Facing the reality

Learning to let go of the memories we had together

Because he made me feel as if I was nothing

When I was everything he could’ve ever needed.

  • peace is impossible

    I close the windows

    Lock the doors

    Turn off the lights

     

    I don’t ever want to leave this room.

    I am tired of drowning

    In a world

    That has never prepared me to swim.

    There are ten days left until the first day of my freshman year,

    And I am fearful.

     

    Fearful of drowning under the thrashing waves,

    For I have been taught to survive 

    but never to truly live.

    One day,

                 you will feel pain so excruciating it becomes abstruse. You will feel numb, detached from the world, lost in a void of darkness.
