Back In This Bitch, Whats Up?

Discovering life as it is....

[overly-cool]

I am hurt. Almost 1 year later, and I’m still hurt. I’m still hurt cause it’s probably my first time admitting it. Or this too, I’m still hurt cause I have no other choice but to be still and face the pain while most of my distractions are gone. Wow. I haven’t been happy in almost a year, and probably even longer. But you know what... it’s time. It’s time for me to face the music. It’s time for me to get rid of this dead weight. All of it, including the man who brought the gas. I can only change me. I have to change me. Who or what, that is detrimental, for me can GOOOOOoooooooOoooooo Gtfoh, fuck you. I need healing. I NEED TO BREATHE.

Self Sabotage

I pleaded with the universe, “Please send me a lover who is like me, I’ll do anything!” The universe sent me you. You appeared with long hair and ideas like mine, we spent noons and nights tangling and untangling. Dirtied your sheets with our names, Fell in almost lust. It didn’t take long before I became sad because this was too good to be true so I told the universe I didn’t deserve you. I pleaded with her again, “Send me someone who lies, show me a lover who treats me how I treated the last guy.” The universe still sent you, And I was confused. You showed up this time with snide remarks and passive aggressive comments. You wore judgements and unnecessary arguments. I asked for more, because I fucked up the last guy so bad he used heroin to cope, I dragged him feet first by a rope for three years. It felt good to be treated like garbage because I knew a guy who loved a girl so much he ignored it when she told him she hated everything about him. But, the bruises from your emotional blows were starting to hurt and I got tired of being dragged in the dirt feet first. I apologized to the universe, “I’m sorry, I learned my lesson. I wish I could take back the years I laughed at love in the face, but I can’t stand this place. Here, with him, he’s making me forget who I am and where I fit.”

The universe smiled. “Oh but Darling, you never deserved it.”
