Who Are You

is love greater than lust? or is lust greater than love?
to the cheating man, it is the latter, are you a cheating man? or one of loyalty?
are you a good guy like the superheroes in movies? or are you the villain?
to the honest man, you are both, are you an honest man? or one caught in a web of lies?
am i what you want? am i enough?
to the romantic man, of course i am, are you a romantic man? or a realistic one?
so, what are you? who are you? are you a cheating man stuck in a web of lies that sees me as merely a sexual conquest? or are you a loyal man that is always honest and sees me as his muse? or are you both?

I'M Sorry I Love You

im sorry i love you. im sorry im so much to handle. im sorry im depressed. im sorry im broken. i'm sorry i have panic attacks and go completely crazy at times. i'm sorry i can’t trust anyone. i'm sorry i need constant reassurance. im sorry im an emotional mess that cries about everything. i'm sorry i have anger issues and act impulsively. all of my  is a part of me, and i'm sorry if its too much. just know, i love you.
i love you when i'm depressed, i love you when i'm trying to glue myself together, i love you when my paranoia gets the better of me, i love you when i'm scared i can't trust what you're saying, i love you when i'm angry and all my impulsive actions are for you. i love you and every part of you. i find beauty in your flaws and safety in your arms. im sorry, i love you.

The Monster In My Head

i am attacked everyday.
i am attacked by something called anxiety.
im not fully sure what it is, what it wants with me, but in my mind, it takes the form of a fictional monster that could be found in a children’s fairytale. when it gets angry or upset or grumpy, it attacks me to get out its emotion. it is not a very happy monster. it attacks me a lot. it scares me, it can control me, whenever it wants it can catch me by surprise and cause me to break down instantaniously.
i am attacked everyday by a monster named Anxiety, and i dont know how much longer i can fight the monster back.

Perfect Imperfections

you are not perfect, lov. you are actually nowhere near perfect. you overthink and you are very protective of me. we don’t always get along either. but, that’s okay, because you make me happy regardless. you have your flaws, and i love every single one, they make you who you are. so, no, you are not perfect, my love, you are perfectly imperfect and that’s what makes you perfect for me.

Paranoia

i'm going insane
everything scares me
i can't see straight, my mind is in complete chaos
i don't trust anything anyone is saying
i'm stuck in my mind and i can't get out
im beginning to freak out
im beginning to hyperventilate
im shaking, crying, i don't know what to do
im sorry, i wish i could stop it all.

Insanity

i lost the one i loved, the only one that makes me happy.
i lost the ability to trust.
i lost the will to live.
and now im losing my mind.

Mental Illness

in this world i travel alone
because no one knows the dark place i call home
no one knows where my mind goes on those dark nights when im alone.
fight they say, but what if theres no more fight to give
no more battle to win, no more strength within
i'm trying not to give in,
to the devil in my mind
that tells me everything from which i try to hide
its killing me from the inside
any day i'm bound to die, murdered by the demon inside.
