most common thought: damn haha im going to have to deal with that sooner or later
tumblr is such a unique experience in 2021 because it’s probably the only place on the internet, or in real life, really, where there is absolutely no point. there is no agenda, and no purpose, it’s just a place i can create this little bubble of art, and self-expression, and poetry, and live in it peacefully. scrolling through my blog and appreciating photography, fashion, literature, etc. just feels like a beautiful respite from everything outside of this website? no news no performance no productivity just pure vibes
my mind wants to get away.
so that I can just be alone, so I can’t hurt anyone else,
especially you.
I feel like a threat
and I can't get away
yet here I am, only 10 feet away
i miss the feeling of your lips on mine
how delicately you kissed me
always making sure i was okay in between each one
i miss your breath on my skin
the goosebumps you caused
with something as simple as air
i miss how your hands felt on my body
tracing my outline
with the slightest of touch
never going too far
i miss how safe i felt when you held me
and the way you’d gently kiss my head
your arms holding me just tight enough
i miss your gentle eyes
how beautiful they were
i miss your smile
and how perfectly it sat on your face
especially the times when you would smile in between each kiss
i miss the way you looked at me
like i was the most beautiful being you’d ever seen
i miss how you’d point out each of my insecurities and tell me how much you loved them
telling me i was worth something
i miss how special you made me feel
and i miss so much more about what you did
but what’s most important is
i don’t miss you.
when the wind starts to pick up
and the storms come,
sit with me
and see all your little things.
like the way you look at me.
with those eyes,
and how they’ve never told me lies.
or how as you fall asleep,
you fall into me.
or when you’re happy,
how your eyes shine like the stars.
and your smile,
makes me want to walk the isle.
or even when you’re sad,
and you come to me,
i promise i won’t get mad.
i only want you to see
the beauty that you have.
so when your storms come,
sit with me in the rain.
and we’ll find all your little things
Friendly reminder: when people say ‘as long as you tried your best’ it doesn’t mean ‘the best you could possibly have done ever’ it means ‘the best you were capable of at the time.’ Sometimes ‘trying your best’ is just getting out of bed in the morning. Just because you weren’t working yourself to the bone doesn’t mean you weren’t trying your best.
fires trickle through my veins
fires i know i have lit
the ache in my bones weigh me down
no matter how light i make myself
feeling the weakness in my heart
barely pumping blood to my torn body
and yet i still smile
because this is the way,
the only way they’ll love me.
Some people won’t believe you
Because your scars are hidden
Way beneath your skin
People only believe what they can see
And that should be a sin
her body is so broken
and yet she’s still fighting
with no one standing by her side
she’s fighting
for herself
against herself
and the cycle never ends
As they laughed and pointed
I stood there
Half frozen in the 20 degree weather
My legs were purple
and not just from the cold
I acted like I could withstand the pain
So they’d see I was strong
But I guess I was wrong
I hoped they’d stop
I smiled and laughed
As they beat me down
But I’d always get up
I had to
I covered my legs
So no one could see
The pain on the outside of me
So I know you’re trying to help
But I’ve turned cold
Like my body
The days I was out on that field
