Worthless

Worthless.
That's what I thought of myself.
The things that you did to me,
But I'm the one saying sorry.
The other day, mom asked me to press charges.
I said no.
Not for you.
Not for me.
You've had charges pressed before.
Your own sister.
The court did nothing. 
She was 6 and you admitted to doing it for years.
I guess you had a type. 
You assaulted my cousin, and you assaulted me. 
When people ask if we're cousins, I have a knot in my throat.
Because yes, we're technically cousins but not after what you did to me.
What you did to us.
For years I've lived in denial.
The truth just recently broke out.
I have my first therapy session tomorrow.
I haven't gone for years, because if I meant nothing to you...
Why would I mean anything to anyone else too.
I have hated myself. 
I have struck myself down for not speaking up earlier.
Because maybe if I did say something, you wouldn't have done what you did to me, to her.

You Are a Thief

You are a thief.
You stole something that wasn't yours to take.
You stole the smile on her face
All her spiritual beauty and grace.
You stole her innocence 
You stole her childhood.
She can't even leave her bed without wishing she were dead.
She can't even look at you without feeling ashamed
She was the one who took all of the blame.
You acted like you were in the spot of fame.
It's really you who should be ashamed.
She doesn't hope you die.
She hopes you live a long, miserable life.
She hopes you realize your actions when it's too late for you.
She hopes that you can't look into the mirror without wanting to hurt yourself.
She longs until the day where you can go a single week without hurting anybody.
She longs for the day when she can look at herself and feel whole.
You stole her life. 
All you left was her frame.
You forced her to play your little "game" 
You left her and made her feel ashamed.
After that, you drained out all of the things that make her, her.
You crushed her personality.
You bruised her soul.
Her heart aches with pain.
She is waiting for you to end your reign.
You said that "this wasn't really your goal."
How could you? She was so small
You trapped her in a cage, a cage full of fear and hate
You keep her wondering what she did to deserve this
She was six.
You didn't care about her age, you wanted her stage.
You left her in a never-ending stage of grief.
She was only a child.
And you....
You are a thief.

Denial

For years I have lived in denial.
Hiding from things I do not completely understand.
Denial is something that you might have unplanned.
But denial and me go hand in hand.
I drift away into Neverland.
To ignore my problems at hand.
My mind has become inland, and disbanded.
My heart is being high demanded.
Oh, how I wish my perfect life never ended.

The Power of a Word

What is a word?
Letters, re-assurance?
Over the years, I learned the power of a word.
For years I've struggled to say no.
For years I've struggled with self esteem.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't change
The hate to love, the fat to skinny, the useless to perfect.

Words have a grasp on all of us. A word without a meaning is just a few letters.
Words mold us into the people we are.
We think we can fix what's wrong with us just because somebody says they don't like the way you talk, or the way you walk, or the way you act.
But you...
You are a work of art.
I love the way your feet clink as you walk, I love the way that two of your teeth is bigger than the some of the others. 
I love the way you dance, I love the way you style your hair. 
Don't let these words turn you into a ruin.
You are magnificent, I'm just waiting for you to see it to.

We underestimate the power of a word.
I've learned that a few words can stop problems, cause problems, but most importantly, they can resolve them.

Why do we take words to heart? 
They're just words right?
Why would I cry when someone told me I wasn't enough?
They're just words right?
Why did the words that the people in my class say to my friend drive her to want to end her own life?

Roses are red. 
Violets are blue.
I know the power that a word holds...
And so should you.

Unrequited, Unwritten

Most nights I stay awake,
Just the mere thought of you has the ability to turn my legs to jelly...
And my heart to break.
My stomach gets butterflies,
That's a feeling I would always take.
I wonder what you would say if I asked you out on a date, 
Would you be as happy as I am when I think of you?
Will you let me down as if there's nothing to lose?
Out of all the people who've confessed their love to me, 
I only want you.
I hope whoever you end up with looks into your eyes
And I hope they see the greenness in them
Like the algae in my lake I've known since childhood.
I hope they look at your face as if it were sculpted by the Gods,
I hope they accept you for who you are, and not who they want you to be.
I see your potential, so please...
Come with me.
Fix this hole in my heart that only you could fix,
Your love as big as the ocean, but small enough to fit in my fist.
I love you, enough to want to love me too.

This Is Me Trying

We walked through the doors,
I felt a thousand eyes looking over at us.
You assured me we that would have a great time,
that I just needed to just let go,
but I stood in the corner and watched you dance with her.
and you let me,
and you left me there.
It took everything in me not to leave through the stairs,
it took everything in me to pretend like I couldn't care. 
I knew it never could have been me, 
I dread that I'll never know what if feels like to be loved,
to be shown off like a trophy,
most people opt out and leave before they even get a chance to know me.
So I'll sit here,
Just like how I sat there as you danced with her.
Instead, I'll be like the trophy sitting in your forgotten display case
waiting, collecting dust.
All while in reality I am lonely,
and I just want somebody to see me shine.
so yes, I lied to you when I said I was fine,
but you should have been mine.
Did it take you all this time to realize that?
You left me crying and had me wish I were dying,
can't you see that this is me trying.

I Loved Too Deeply

I once told myself I was incapable of love,
Because I could not love myself.
That was until I met you.
For months my diet consisted of not eating more than 300 calories,
Hours of exercise, even if I felt like I couldn't go on anymore,
There were the daily purges after all of that.
I skipped lunch every day just to see you walk the halls.
I fed into my delusions that you wanted me,
I dreamt of you every night,
Pretended my pillow was you,
I felt like I've known you all my life.
I was in love with you for three years, 
So in love that I risked my life, just for a chance that you would love me back, 
And even after all I went through just for you to look me,
You never even knew.
Now you're happy with someone else, 
And I'm just here, bruised and broken.
I don't know if I'll ever be in love with someone else again.
But maybe I can start by loving myself.

I'M Sorry I Wasn'T Enough To Make You Stay

I'm sorry I wasn't enough to make you stay, 
I'm sorry that you got bored so soon.
I know, I wasn't expecting it either.
I tried to be the enough, I really did.
I did my skincare, even if it took at least two hours,
I did my haircare, even if it took all my strength just to stay awake.
I combed my hair until I fell asleep so it would look slick and clean.
I tried to be as perfect as I could,
Maybe it was because I couldn't call that one night,
Maybe it was because of instead of talking about how I felt when you ghosted me,
I cried in my room instead.
In my bed I was wondering why I wasn't enough for you.
I wondered what I did to anger you,
I knew you were going to leave, I just didn't know when.
And... then you left, 
My entire world turned gray,
Lightning replaced the white-fluffy clouds.
Life had seemed to lose all purpose,
Out of all this, the true you seemed to surface.
I loved you, I really did.
And I still do,
Even enough to want to love me too.

5 Years Later and I Still Miss You

5 years have passed, 
Isn't it crazy to think that's when I saw you last.
I still remember the day I said goodbye.
If I could redo anything in this life, it would be what I said to you.
I should have known that "see you later" wasn't the appropriate phrase.
What was I thinking? I was only 12.
You told me that you always admired me for my optimism,
And it's hard, especially when you aren't here anymore.
Oh how time has changed.
Something that felt so recent, but happened a long time ago, 
and every single moment I have with you replays in my mind, 
Reminding me that just because you beat somebody in a battle,
Doesn't mean that they can't come back for round two. 
Oh where would life had gone if you gave cancer the K.O.
I was told that it was all in god's timing, but why can't he let good things be?
Why does everything that matters have to change?
Why can't you be here with me?
I miss you, and I wish you could have stayed, even for just another day.

Emasculet

I don't know if it's because I quit baseball and football to join gymnastics,
Don't know if it's because I would rather watch Taylor Swift than watch the NBA.
I don't know if it's because my voice doesn't sound manly enough, 
Or because I used to play with Barbies.
I don't know if it's because I'm sensitive and I can't hold my emotions back.
But what I do know is that it hurts,
I've acted like it hasn't effected me for so long but it does, and it hurts.
I try to remind myself that there's nobody to blame but me, of course.
Maybe it was from my father leaving, 
Maybe it was from the sexual abuse that my cousin gave me,
Maybe it was because I 
Maybe I was destined to be what everybody thinks I am... gay.
I don't believe I am, but after growing up and hearing you are every single day,
I start to wonder why people think I'm gay,
I've never thought a man to be attractive in that way.
I'm sorry that I act this way, I never knew it was "gay" but please stay.
I promise I'll try to change my way, maybe people will like me that way.
