eating: a scene from a horror movie
i starve
for an even more desperate feeling of hunger;
i wait
for a stronger feeling of emptiness;
i cry
as death sits me down and whispers
you’re asking for me, aren’t you?
when they say
i am ridiculous,
when they say
i am wasting,
when they say
i am slowly killing myself,
i hear
that i’m doing the only thing that i can do,
i hear
that i’m successfully avoiding pain,
i hear
that i am strong, that i know what’s right.

hey everyone,
i know i’m terrible at posting regularly on my blog and i’m so sorry about that (really!), but i’ve come today just to quickly say something that i’m sure many of us need to hear.
we are in a time that’s difficult for many people to get through easily. we are in an environment of quite a bit of fear, isolation, confusion, uncertainty... but remember: you’re not alone. it may not feel that way. i know this because i’m actually in a location far from home and i don’t know when i can go back and live the life i’m used to again, but the more i go online and talk to my friends, the more i know “we’re in this together” is true. 
it’s hard to stay happy. it’s hard to survive boredom. it’s hard to maintain the motivation you previously had for things you did in your normal life. but do your best. try new things! call your friends and family! 
but most importantly, stay safe. please do not underestimate this horrible virus. COVID-19 is not something to be overlooked. do what professionals suggest to do in order to protect yourself and those around you. wash your hands frequently, practice social distancing, etc.
i love you all (i know not a lot of people follow me but still!) and i hope you believe me when i say we can get through this together. i will try my best to use this new free time to post more poems. send me messages if you’ve got any suggestions for poems to write! i’m open to anything :) but you can also shoot me a message about other things. 
stay positive! i’m here for you... and one more time (repeat after me): STAY SAFE!

when i’m alone i imagine seeing you one last time, and what i feel always drowns me despite the conflict within: should i hate you for what you've done? but in the end, everyday i dream of seeing you again, and each time i run into your arms, and i know that what i feel, what i drown in: it’s love. a pathetic love for someone i don’t know anymore - in love with a dream

i call their names, screaming,  but so damn quietly because it doesn’t matter; they will never come back. they are lost to me, untouchable and that’s what they wanted. they were scared of our proximity, my capability of reaching out… so maybe it’s my fault, for if i had prevented myself from even making an effort, i wouldn’t have to feel this now. - this loss i can’t explain.

i'm losing my mind just thinking of you and the things you’re doing without me by your side.

i hate loving you. i tried to stop falling but there are just these kind of things that you can’t control. - unintentional

most people are afraid of the dark, distrust every corner in the middle of the night, but it’s better for me to be lost in a thick blanket of black so that i can cry, cry, cry, and nobody will ever know. - it keeps my secrets

i hope you won't do  what they did to me; i hope you will stay and not break my heart all over again.

i say this every time but you? of all people? i believed in you  at least so that's why i snapped that's why you can no longer find my heart and soul - when you hurt me

my heart is yours but you don't want it; maybe i shouldn't force you to have  something you don't want or care about.

"rebuilt" is probably the most beautiful word there is. having something so wonderful destroyed, but then being able to rebuild it into something better and stronger than it ever was before.  - why didn't this happen for us?

the only thing that calms me is knowing other people feel the same isolation the same pain the same frustration -we're all stuck in a fortress; together, yet divided
