There Was Once...

Often, I wonder

Why do I give up so much of my self,

Sacrifice happiness just within reach,

All for others

Deep down, I know most

Will never return it,

My efforts brushed aside,

Merely a girl that was once there

I spurn myself, doubt my heart,

Submerge into crushing despair,

All for others

Deep down, I know most

Will not remember it,

My struggles forgotten with time,

Merely a girl that was once there

I slice into my own skin,

Crimson blood gushing forth,

Staining the pure white of my clothes,

All for others

Deep down, I know most

Will not care,

My offerings drained away,

Merely a girl that was once there

Certainly Not

Where do I belong?

Certainly not here.

Too soft and caring

Too always out of step

Not understanding the hatred

The fighting

Cruel words spoken in jest.

I long to go home

Wish someone would come

To take me away

To where I still belong.

Wherever that is

It’s certainly not here.

Am I Enough?

Am I enough?

Have I tried too much?

It is working?

I can't see.

I stumble and fall. Blind.

I'm lost.

I have no idea.

What do I do?

Where do I go?

Where am I?

Who am I?

I wander.

I am alone.

Why am I lonely?

Where did they go?

Did I do something wrong?

I want to go home.

Am I trying?

Do they see it?

Is it working?

I don't know.

Poor Pondering Habits

I often think, “What was I thinking?”

Followed by, “Why did I say it out loud?”

And ending with, “Wait, how did you interpret that as a good idea??? I was joking!”

This happened often in college, with open fires and late night bus trips, all inspired by poor pondering habits.

Be careful what you question out loud.

Why do my thoughts wander?

When there isn’t a thing

a something

to center my thoughts around,

they travel and unravel

and carry their burdens

of confusion

while wandering around.

Questions

I question everything in life,

From why I think what I think,

To why I'm even here to begin with.

What's the point?

Right?

"Why do we exist?" I'll ask myself.

We all fall own eventually,

Life is a game that nobody wins,

Isn't that right?

My questions will always be left unanswered,

For there is no way,

To ease,

My wandering mind.

Money

Money and material things are my happiness, but why can I be so content and satisfied without it?

Am I? Do I?

Am I worth it?

Am I worth loving?

Am I worth caring for?

Do I deserve to live?

Do I deserve to be loved?

Do I deserve happiness?

Questions upon questions around my worth always tend to bounce around in my head. For years I would've told you I hadn't found the answer, and sometimes to this day, I feel like I haven't. But the reality is, I will always be worth it, worth the love and care that others can give me as well as the love and care I give myself.Also, I do deserve life and happiness and love. Just because my life doesn't match my timeline doesn't mean that I'm doing anything wrong, that I'm not worth it, or that I don't deserve a life. It means I need to be patient and wait. All things given to you at a bad time will be a stumbling block in the quest to love yourself, and I understand that now.
