I want someone to look at me in the eye and tell me it’ll be fine
I want someone to hold my hand and tell me it’ll be alright
I’m losing the battle because my demons are stronger
But i want someone to help me fight so i don’t feel alone
I want to be strong again and keep fighting
But god, there are days that i feel so weak and are terrifying
These monsters are slowly taking my place
But i can’t push them away, they’re stronger than me
Some people call it depression but some others call it attention seeking
I would call it attention but can’t you see that i’m sinking?
No matter how many pages i write i won’t be able to put my feelings into words
Because i feel hopeless and helpless
I feel worthless and careless
I feel sad and damaged
I feel broken and unwanted
I just feel so many things all at once
But i wish i didn’t because this doesn’t feel good
I want to feel happy once in my life
I want to know what happiness feels like
I want to know what having someone by your side feels like
I want to know what “alright” feels like
I just want to be fine, why is it so hard
I want to live carelessly and happily
I want to forget the feeling of being annoying and unwanted
I want to know what a real smile feels like
I want to know what falling in love with the right person feels like
But i guess i’ll never be able to
Because they say the first person to love you truly is yourself
And i can’t love myself no matter how hard i try
I’m used to living with my flaws i know
I’m used to hating my body image i know
I’m used to cursing at myself in the mirror everyday, i know
I know all that, i know i won’t be able to fall in love with myself because i’ve never found something so special about me to love.
I’ve never found something so cool about me to care about
I’ve just learnt to hate my own body
I’ve learnt to destroy myself slowly each day
I’ve learnt to cut my skin deeper each day
i’ve learnt to crying myself to sleep at night
I’ve learnt to lock my door and shut myself in all the time
I’ve learnt to push people out without trying to let them in
I’ve learnt to deal with the hate i get from others because i, myself, hate my own existence
But it’s okay
I know someday i’ll learn how to love myself with the scars on my body
I will learn how to love myself with the bruises on my body
I will learn to love the stretches on my body
I will learn to love how my thighs touch
I will learn to love the girl i see in the mirror
I will learn to love my bare face
i will learn to love myself
Maybe not today, but someday,
I will try to keep this hope with me, i will try to make it stay
I will try to let people in, i will try to behave
I will try to control my anger, i will try to be nice
I will try to stay positive, i will try to live.
