No matter what I do and no matter how much of myself I give to someone, it never seems to be enough. I will always be the second choice. I will never be the girl a boy is head over heels in love with and it kills me every single day.

Viridity escapes the lips.

They watched as the surface traced a line of pits.

Sharp points overpower,

Addict by the hour.

The mind washes away the pain it encounters.

I’m a bad person for wanting to be loved.

“your gut instinct is not a liar, those initial feelings exist for a reason, sit on them if you need to, process whether your feelings are valid or just projections, but never dismiss your intuition when the signs are staring you in the face and your nervous system is agreeing.”

They called me a dreamer like it was a bad thing, until my dreams started to come true.

I could spend all my mornings

Wrapped up in blankets

Like this--your hand in mine

My head on your chest

Wallowing in our lazy Sunday best

Betting on endless tomorrows

The relentless sun seeks us out

Wishing to shine as bright and hot

No such luck but it gets us up

Still I sip my coffee with a smile

Drain the last drop while you wrestle

With the urge for a smoke

Instead you light on my lips

Zoom in till there's zero room for doubts

Then you're wearing my grin

As if it's always been that easy

Effortless, like nothing else

I've never known moments

Like this could exist

Prompts: you and I this morning; wrestling with smoke; still I

Inversion

It's funny how things change

Faster than the blink of an eye

You might not ever know why

Even though it was worth the while

Can't yet look back and smile

With a gash still open wide

Clasped another double-edged sword

Cleaning and dressing the wound

Harder to do when not seeing straight

Wanting to not look back but unable to refrain

Masochism must be a claim to fame

Pain shadows every stunted move

Melancholy tainting every day

Sometimes for the better but still

It's sad how things change

I took down my walls to let you in. I told you everything about myself, from my childhood trauma to my insecurities. And you still used it to hurt me. You knew what you were doing.

I draw air through my lungs.

Sun caresses my skin.

Warmth tingles down my spine.

Butterflied hearts and gentle wind,

freeing my mind.

Can I finally trust this time?

Though my heart wants,

my soul shrieks at the thought.

The translucent glass shatters.

Flooding thoughts do not stop.

Memories push through my mind.

I instantaneously speed back into time.

Haunting shadows.

Silent screams.

One touch.

I cannot breathe.

Choking on words,

my limbs tremble in fear.

I wake up to realize, I escaped into my own nightmares.

Concerned eyes.

What just happened in the mind?

Will I have to explain each and every time?

Quote

The size of your forehead, the shape of your nose, the way your body looks, all that pales in comparison to the complexity of your soul, the butterfly effect your smile brings, and the way your presence makes the earth feel a little more like home.

They say keep it on the down-low

Nobody else needs to know

Don't give them the lowdown

It's not their business anyhow

Be human but set apart

Pretend you don't own a heart

Then it can't be broken

Divided into tokens

Inserted at the arcade

Another game to be played

Or a digital download

To keep them busy on the road

Serving up sold-out shows

Under the spotlight glow

A full house eager crowd

Getting so hyped-up loud

While you sit up at home

Waiting by the telephone

Well it's a good time to go

Since nobody needs to know

Prompts: on the down low; human but not; to be divided
