perfectly unattainable

i live my life in shame that i’m not something no one expects me to be *perfect*

the image of perfection is never perfect

but yet here i am hating myself for not achieving the unattainable

thinking that somehow i’m not trying hard enough

i’m not sure if that’s low self esteem or straight up narcissism

that i of all beings could be perfection if i just tried hard enough

impossible but still in the realm of possibility

but my permanent scars, cellulite, blemish’s, and melanin

tell a different story

perfection simply isn’t me

yet i still expect myself to accomplish it

My Poison

The essence of my Being

It makes me feel like screaming

As It encompasses me

The feeling of irrefutable love  

    For Love is the world’s worst poison                                                                              

How can you defeat something- That is the essence of humanity?

The thing that keeps us from insanity

The hope of love fills the soul and at times crushes the mind

For Love is the world’s worst poison

I made the mistake of falling in love (it’s always full of lies)

My heart torn into pieces before my eyes

Eyes                                                            

For I am the world’s worst poison

What’s the point it all ends with death (in most cases)                                                                                                                                          I see proof as I look around at all these crying faces

It’s kind of funny I say love is poison  

I feel happy when I love (it’s for a reason)

But this is the place where it ends  

Love never bends

Because this is the place where we remember how much we loved  

This is the place where love tore my heart into pieces

love a meaningless word that only causes pain

This is me

sometimes my stomach feels like a washing machine

it just won’t stop turning

i open my mouth to speak

it turns even faster

my chest aches

my mouth dry

my thoughts swirling

begging for a break

i just want it to stop

incessant thoughts

never ending

a tornado

destroying my will to live

destroying all surrounding area

but i’m still not sure it’s real

is this me

or is this who i need to be?

a bottomless pit of anxiety.
