Clingy With Trust Issues

I am a girl who is a little clingy
I will accept it
I am because of people who have left before
I don't want to lose anyone else
So I hold on for dear life to make sure they are happy
But it comes off as me being needy
I am not just scared
If I cling to you I am afraid to lose you
I feel like you leave
I will cling to you but won't trust you
Because of things, others have done
Lying 
Pretending to be my friend
When instead they are just around
 To ruin my reputation
To make my life terrible
To beat me down lower than I already was
So I am sorry for being clingy
For not trusting
But I can't help it
Because others hurt me so badly
That my heart is so broken
It is impossible to back the pieces

Toxic

My house is a toxic place
 hidden under a mask of a loving home
I was constantly compared to others
And would be stuck listening to my parents adult problems
But constantly told I was to young for things
I was told I should not settle for the boy
Who I love
That I need to shop around
But I was unable to date until 18
So I really had no time to shop around
This is only a little bit of what was going on
This sounds like perfection 
But it deeply affected me and does today
But nobody can see behind the perfect mask
Of my toxic family

Deserve Better

I don't know
why I stayed
when I knew I deserved better.
You made me feel 
as though
I was overreacting,
and selfish.
You said I don't drown
in an ocean
I stick my face in a
puddle.
You say the waves that crash
into me
are only cars
driving over puddles.
You told me I was faking it. 
I believed you
and coped
with alcohol and drugs.
I got rid of you.
I still feel like I'm
faking, 
overreacting,
lying,
like I don't deserve better.

Anxiety

I Sink into a river 
Of stress
And anxiety
What if I don't graduate?
What if I don't get into medical school?
Questions swirl in my mind
As other people look 
And wonder 
Why are you stressed?
Your life is not that hard
Just because I am 19 
Does not mean I don't have stress
Does not mean that things can be hard for me
Each day its like another a rope is 
Attaching to my leg
pulling me further 
Into the river
Making it harder to breathe and
to live my life
I hate anxiety

Flashback

Disgust
Guilt
Fear
I felt dirty
Trapped in 2006
Experiencing the cold floor
Seeing from a 3rd person view
While feeling from a first person experience
I could not leave
I was stuck in a memory
Of unbelievable horror
14 years later
Haunted by the actions
Of someone I trusted
I loved 
Betrayed in an instant

Wrong With Me

Is there something wrong with me
Do I ruin lives
Am I the one
Who is to trusting
Who deserves pain
To hurt
To be mistreated
Do they mean well
Do they really want the best for me
Do they really love me
Or am i just a stepping stone
To be walked on
To be used
That's what it feels like
I cant escape
I want to cry
I cant let go of the pain
The suffering
The hurt
I feel everyday
I know there is something wrong with me

Unpredictable

My emotions are unpredicted,
going from hyper and energetic to depressed, 
and From angry to empty.
One emotion can last for day or hours,
And they are not brought on by anything.
Even the saddest of moments cannot bring me down from a high,
And happy moments cannot always bring happiness.
Sometimes the emptiness takes over my body,
causing a lack of emotion,
making me a zombie.
Sometimes I wake angry,
or am angered by things that are I should not be.
I feel out of control
unable to predict what I will feel.
Others just think I am moody or on my period,
but this disrupts my relationships and my life.
I wish my emotions were not so unpredictable.

Struggling For Exception

In the 8th grade, I realized something
I was overweight
Fat 
And in my eyes unattractive
So I started starving myself 
Me a 13-year-old starving so that I could be skinny
Pretty
Successful
Loved
That's what I assumed you needed
I thought that wearing a size 18 in dresses was a disgrace
I felt disgusting
I felt like nobody would ever love me
Because of I overweight
When I hit my freshman year in high school I had dropped two dress sizes
And joined choir not only for my love of singing
But because I knew singing for an hour would bring you down 100 calories
And that dancing would bring you down more
I was losing weight I was happy 
But felt weak feeling dizzy from the lack of food in my system
Sophomore year of high school I was passing out
And having bad stomach pains
But I continued
Because my efforts got me a boyfriend
And I went down 3-4 dress sizes
Things were great but I was not skinny enough
By my senior year of high school, I was a size 9 in pants 
Feeling weak dizzy sick and unloved  
I continued and struggle to this day 
I want to love my body 
I want to love myself
As much as others have said they loved me
But it's hard because I am surrounded by beautiful women
All of varying sizes big and small but the media tells me small is what I should be
To be attractive to be successful to be loved 
I fight now against a habit I have had for years 
Finally willing to give it up
Because I know that its what is on the inside that counts 
Not whats on the outside 
And if someone judges you on your looks before getting to know you 
You don't need them anyway
We are all beautiful in our own way
We as a population just need to realize that

Understanding

I try to explain how I feel
I have poured out my heart
I have answered all  your questions
When you would ask what's wrong with me 
I would explain as best I could
But when I do something that I have explained before
You told me I was overdramatic
A crybaby
Then tell me I wont get anywhere like this
It's not my fault
It is my brain chemistry
I have explained it as best as I can
But you still don't understand
I have said it over and over
I am starting to think that it's not that you don't understand
It's that you are not listening
Or that you don't believe me
Or you choose to ignore it 
And treat it as just being overemotional
Like I can't do anything
Because you tell me if you have such a problem
Then stay home
And cry about it because nobody outside will care
And they may not but I would expect more understanding
From family
From people who know what I have been through
I just want you to understand but I feel that you never will

Once a Day

I only eat once a day
exercise
and start that process again the next day
I lose weight
I love when people notice
but i hate how I feel
headaches
lightneadedness
empty stomach
I look better and better each day
BUt i still hate how i Look
no matter how skinny I get
its never good enough
for my family
for society
for myself
I am a hostage to my mind
i cant escape
But I dont really want to
because it makes me feel happy
sometimes
Its official 
I have two difficiencies
I lost control
I hate myself
but i cant stop
with these eating patterns
I only eat once a day
and I like that.
