Don’t be so quick to trust yourself with people. Reserve every precious part of yourself, and give people the space to show you which parts of you they deserve, if any.

handful of pills and one last shell.

what if i am wrong - it doesn’t happen often, but from time to time it does

like giving myself to those who dont give a shit

wait, lets not lose focus

what if god is real

and we’re just god’s mental health

clearly this mother fucker is a narcissist, but what if mind is amiss

perhaps we are to blame for all the bullshit it does all the death and all the war and all the nonsense dealt with constantly

perhaps we are the problem with our entitled free will, our kink for instant gratification, and what if the devil is just the pills the drugs the liquor that makes it all easier to deal with, the mental health that’s killing this.

Truthfully none of us are even asking for joy. We are just asking for a little peace. We are praying for the world to hurt us a little less, for our tired hearts to have a little rest.

“Why did you invent poetry?” Dionysus asked Apollo, filling his goblet with wine once more. Apollo took a sip “Why did you invent wine?” Dionysus looked at his own goblet, thinking of the ruby liquid within it and answered thoughtfully, “It makes the world slightly sweeter and adds a little madness where there was none. But mostly, to be intoxicated and in love.” Apollo smiled, “Now you know why I crafted poetry. It makes the world a little easier to love.”

[meanwhilepoetry]

I hurt you and I hoped you would do hurtful things to me because I was so used to love being painful. You refused to do these things to me because you cared for me too much until finally you broke. Forgive me, my love. Pain was all I knew then, all I was comfortable with. There are so many times I looked at your kindness with suspicion, confused the melodies of your gentle words for future harm. I have known predators so long that I didn’t see an honest love for what it was. That it looked like this. That it looks like you.

- Nikita Gill, A Text I Never Sent

[meanwhilepoetry]

If I could beg one thing of my childhood, it would be this: please stay a while longer. One last game. One last song. One last time playing pretend in the woods, where you can be anything you want to be. One last piece of soft hope before you become a memory that grows hazy year by year.

- Nikita Gill, If

[meanwhilepoetry]

The reason it is hard to love yourself is because you cannot walk away from yourself. You have to sit within your skin through every painful emotion, every second of disgust and still find pieces of yourself to love through the wreckage. This is why loving yourself is an act of revolution. It is telling yourself you deserve love even in the places you do not think are worthy of love.
