healing involves a lot more grieving than you’d expect. progress hurts. you’re moving on from things that happened but also things you wished would happen and never did. mourning does not mean you are not getting better.

honey suckled wrists,

mismatched parts,

staring at a jagged edge

that could slip so easily

inside of my lungs.

brain matted with thoughts,

surrounded by faces,

with no eyes to hear.

keep a hushed mouth,

die quietly but make it surely

i can't get my words out

constantly drowning it out

my future is to fall on a dim lit street

unmoving on the wet pavement

mixed with flesh and regret

and hope it speaks for me

all the things i can't say or help them feel

So let me tell you, you are strong and you are resilent, the fact that you struggled through all of this trauma proves it.

Everyone has unhealthy habits, but if the intention is to hurt yourself, it then becomes a type of self-harm.
