Cutting Relapse

If I do that 

and make a small cut

it will get bigger

and I will relapse


if the blood drips out

it all starts again

I can't cut

even if I want to,

because if I cut

I won't stop,

and I will be back to

square one





Favorite Person

It is scary

to rely

and obsess

over a single person


to hurt them

because you love them

and can not be apart from them

and now that I see the damage I make


Not being able to 

die

because that'd hurt them more

but also being in their life

is the biggest torture

ever


because no matter

how much I love you,

you shouldn't be with me




Sunsets

to be with you

from sunrise to sunset

was too much

to ask

for anyone


and that is how I am

too high

and too low

too emotional

and too dead


if the sun is rising

I made it for a new day

and if the sun is setting

you fear that I won't




Vacations

I wish that I

could take a break

from myself


but your vacation

is more worth it

because with me gone

you can focus on you


how can I be with you,

how can you be with me,

if I am a disaster


if this break

shows anything,

I hope it shows me


to be free from myself

and to have you 

back




Damaged Love

I love you

in my broken ways

which are unhealthy


and I am stuck

in wanting you

with an obsessive need

to not being able to have you


I can see how I am bad for you

but yet my heart yearns for you

I want you with all individual water particles in the world

but I can not allow myself

to let you go through this,

I can not break you


I can not let this damaged love

become something that kills us both

if I love you,

doesn't that mean 

I have to let you go,

for your own sake?




Officially

With every label

that I put

with every time

I call you my boyfriend


I realize

that it is not

the contract part

or the trapped part

that makes me want it

but that you are still afraid of it


I want more

I want to love you 

with everything I am,

and everything I have

and I want you to love me too


but unofficially

I am bad for you




Wind and Rain

when the wind blows

my heart soars

and I feel free


when you look at me

and your eyes soften,

your gaze drifts,

and your lazy smile comes out

I soar


but when it rains

and everything takes a hit

I am uncomfortable, soaked, and everything is ruined

yet I can jump in the puddles

faking a glow


but when you 

throw your angry words

and they crash over and over

beating into my heart

I fall, and get crushed




Can Not

you cannot be the reason

I live for

that will destroy you


you cannot let me break you

that will break me


you cannot choose 

and neither can I

if I let go, 

it'll kill us

but if you let go,

it'll kill us too




Relationships

relationships with depression

is hard in itself

the hard days 

where laying in bed is all you can do

and eating is an accomplishment


relationships with anxiety

hovering panic and fear

in the air, hold on

grasp of when or if

and reassurance

becomes unbearable


relationships with PTSD

where everything is a trigger

and one move

can make chaos and destruction

and one small movement

can send panic attacks 

and tear rolling

where a small thing

can trigger years of explosions,

and there is no way to calm them down

them must be swept by the current until

it throws them back onto land

and you sit through their damage


it was your fault

they panicked

you forgot

that a touch to their throat

would remind them

of being held down

and penetrated,

you get stuck in

every thing is a trigger

and it is my fault

that I remind them of this


but relationships with borderline

and being a favorite person

an obsession

with too much feelings

and not enough letting go

is hard


Bipolar relationships

with highs and lows

too much energy

or too much depression and suicidal thought

make you go crazy

wondering where they are right at that moment

every emotion is over the top

too much 


now a relationship

with someone who has these all

is too much

even for them

can't you just let me go,

universe where is my lightning strike

the rare possibility of death, through a natural cause

a relationship with them

is patience, reassurance, love, anger, excitement

wanting to be free of them,

but not being able to want that more

then wanting to love them




Enough

I am chaos

storms within storms

anger with rage,

and depression with destruction


but yet with one look

it's enough

to get me through the day


and yet with one word

it's more then enough


and for the first time

I am enough

for even myslef

especially myself


and this new confidence radiates off me

and this unhealthy, damaged love

is all I needed to get

me back to me

and to get the help

I need all along


you showed me

who I am 

and who I want to be

and I think

that's perfectly okay

to want the change

and be happy




Fear

the fear

that you will leave

is always prominent


and the fear

that there is an end

is terrifying


but the biggest fear of all

is not knowing who I am

without all these mental health issues

haven't they labeled me

and been my identity over half my life


How can I take that away

from myself

I am scared of being happy

I am scared of getting better

because I don't even know what that looks like




Me

I want to be

by your side

as I get better


but I want to get better for me

not for you


I want us to take the ride together

and change for the better

will you work through it with me,

or will you make me wait forever




Changing

I can feel myself changing

and change is scary


I can see myself being better

and that's terrifying


going into the unknown areas

are uncomfortable

and tiring


but the exhaustion

is worth the price

for being finally

okay
