how i get over being a people pleaser:

in a dream, i burn my fingertips off and move south. i call my mother less often and i cry to strangers on the train without asking their name. i lose all my friends and grow my hair. i scream randomly and i’m unashamed. i correct my siblings when they hurt me and i block every man off my contact list - i never say sorry again.

so when i woke up, i said: “i accept you, self.

empty hands,

full belly,

tired eyes and all.

i accept you, self.

even if you don’t want to hear it yet;

i accept you, self.

and i will never call you selfish for it.

i will never call you selfish for it.

i will never call you selfish for it.” - m

i weave letters together like silk to patch up the fabric of my being. it’s a shame poetry isn’t just an art for me; it helps me feel whole.

wish i knew

how to alchemize pain into music

and not just words.

i wanna share without having to

talk about it.

i want it to be felt, not just heard.

“just leave like everybody else!”

well, you’re a void and that’s why you have so much loss in your life. you look to fill what’s missing but everything around you comes up empty, empty, empty. you’re a naked nobody running from nothing - i’m tired of holding your hand.

instead i said “i’m sorry. i can’t stay.”
