Scars may heal but the past is still real.

TRIGGER WARNING

[wnq-writers]

I’m gonna need you to love me a little harder sometimes. Most days, I’ll act like I’m just fine. I’ll paint my smile across my face and wear it proudly. I’ll laugh loudly like I’ve never tasted sadness in my life. But other days, I will not be so strong. I will not walk boldly into the room, I will collapse into it. My vision of life will be clouded by darkness, and I will make my walls extra thick in hopes that you don’t notice. Please, notice. And when you do, pull me close. Hold me until we’re both too warm for anything else to matter. Let me breathe you in. Tell me that you love me, don’t stop until I respond, and then tell me again. I know this could be inconvenient for you, and I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be a bother, but sometimes I need to be told that I’m worth it.

I feel so sick and I’m gonna pretend that it’s because of the alcohol and not you, and the fact that the lips on my neck tonight weren’t yours. Everything I did with him should have been you, and now he’s attached and I’m still hurting and everyone’s cheering because someone else just took off their top , and all I can think about is how fucking in love with you I am, and how if you were here maybe I wouldn’t be sitting in a room with a bunch of half naked drunk teenagers, And I guess I kept hoping you’d turn up and we could talk about the future and how you want to die just to find a way to come back alive again But you never did turn up, So I let him do what he wanted to do to me, Because for once I just wanted to feel some affection, Even if it wasn’t from you.

[poisoned-words]

In one universe I never found you and you never found me and we never went to the carnival. You never held my hand and we never kissed on the ghost train. I never got too familiar with the the feeling of your arm around me. In this universe, we never even met. In another universe I was never scared. I never held back from meeting you out of fear. We never broke up because of it. In another universe, we took our second chance when we were suppose to. I never told you to wait to meet me because of my badly dyed hair and you never got tired of waiting. We are still together now. In another universe, you never fell in love with her. I never cried. In another universe, you never came back. You never reminded me what it was like to be in love with you. You didn’t turn up when i was least expecting it and I never fell for you again. We never went to that castle “just as friends” and I didn’t search for excuses to hold your hand. I never cried myself to sleep because I can’t be friends with you. In another universe, we worked. In this universe, we’ve been together for a year and 9 months and it doesn’t hurt to breathe. You meet me from school and we spend our weekends on adventures. We kiss at the top of the castle. We kiss at the beach. We kiss everywhere. This is the universe I will live in. The universe where you love me.

but why is it so quiet? Why am I always waiting for something? It scares me that I need a tragedy. That maybe I always will.

I am so good at pretending I am tired when I am actually very sad

I can’t talk about it because if I talk about it that means it matters. If it matters that means it’s real, and if it’s real that means it’s going to hurt.

We're the Ones Your Parents Warned You About

You probably shouldn’t say hi to us on the first day of school

Or sit next to us in class

Or share a bag of chips with us at lunch

And don’t even think about hanging out with us on the weekends

Because that’s when we’re the worst.

We are the ones your parents warned you about

we’re the lazy youth

the good-for-nothing teens who sit at home all day playing video games

we don’t care about anything

we’re never going to succeed

and we’ll fill your head with pointless daydreams

that will distract you from the important things in life.

You probably shouldn’t make friends with that girl who’s by all herself over there

There must be something wrong with her if she’s alone

And you shouldn’t make friends with the opposite gender

Or those of us who are a different race

Because we might teach you to see things from a different point of view.

We are the ones your parents warned you about

we’re the unrelatable youth

the daydreaming teens who sit at home all day learning about new technologies

we don’t care about the same things your parents do,

we don’t wear the same things,

and we’ll fill your head with our outrageous slang words

that will distract you from being a proper person.

You probably shouldn’t think too hard about the mess that our world is in

I mean, that’s what we did

And look how we ended up?

Because obviously change is never a good thing.

We are the ones your parents warned you about

we’re the progressive youth

the teens with a voice who don’t just sit at home but go to rallies, and protests, and speeches

we care about everything

we’re trying our best to succeed in a world designed to be against us

and we’ll fill your head with new ideas and truths

that your parents tried to cover up because they don’t want things to change.

You probably shouldn’t try to fix things

Or complain about what’s wrong

Or hope for a better future

Because obviously we don’t know enough about the world to clean up this mess.

After all, we’re the ones your parents warned you about

So obviously we can’t be good

Obviously we’re the ones causing the problem

stop making excuses for people who treat you like shit

If you can love the wrong one so much, just imagine how much you can love the right one.

You shouldn’t point out things about people’s appearances if they can’t fix it in ten seconds.
