NUMB
I feel numb, hollow, cold… and I hate this feeling.
I don’t know who I am right now, I don’t feel like me.
I feel chills echoing through my core, a thick fog plaguing my mind.

LOST
I feel lost. I don’t know where I am, I don’t know what I am doing.
I feel like somewhere along the way, I fell off the map, and ended up in the middle of nowhere.
I am scared.
I am lost

FOUND
I am holding on to hope.
I will be found.
But not by anyone else.
I will find myself.
A little excerpt from the state of my mind in the last few weeks. I am holding on to hope, and not giving up.

I love you, please stay.

I am as broken as they come, my shattered pieces scattered all over.

My mind tells me lies that I sometimes believe. I am not good enough, I am too much.
When my mind screams these lies at me, they are all I hear, and I begin to believe them.

Though I am still trying to piece myself back together, some days I may fail.

I won’t be strong. I will fall apart.

There will be days, I look to you for aid.

I love you, please stay.

On the days my broken parts show,

I need you, please don’t leave.

Hi, lovely.

As you lay your head down tonight and drift off to sleep, I hope for a few things for you.

I hope that your mind is calm, still and that your thoughts are light and fluffy.
I know the days aren't always easy on you, and that you fight your battles every day.
I hope you do not have to fight as you rest.

I hope that you sleep softly, dream sweetly and recharge, ready to face whatever comes your way.

Sometimes, writing is my way out.
It is a way to get the thoughts that are swimming deep within my mind out into the world when I have no voice.

These words that I messily scribble down, or carefully  type out, ensuring to check for any errors I make, come from the deepest, and sometimes darkest areas of my mind, heart and soul…

And these are things I do not think I would be able to tell someone out loud, for hearing the words out loud would be too much.

These small marks, on this blank sheet, come from my depths, and I hope they reach your soul.

Hey there sweetness…
This is a letter directly to you.

To you, the one who sees me as her bright, shining star, and not a glorious superhero.
The one who sees behind my broken parts. Behind the mask I wear sometimes.

The one who wants to get to know the REAL me, behind my walls and shields.
The one who is pulling those walls down and breaking those shields day by day.

This is to you, the one wants to pick me up when I fall,
Hold me when I am weak,
And shelter me from my storms.

To you, I say this.
I make this promise, to be me. To not hide or run.
I want to give you all of me.
The good and the bad. The dark and the light.

You are my serenity, in this crazy, maddened world.

Too the one who stood strong, and walked tall
When everything was against her.
When life was pushing down on her,
Digging her deeper day by day.
Walking tall through the times she thought she would never make it out…

To the one who kept going, even when she could have quit…

Thank you…
Thank you for being so resilient and strong.
So powerful and brave.

And thank you for sticking around long enough for me to meet you.

Thank you for letting me be your strength, your light, your dark, whatever you need.

Thank you for being so brave, so strong, so gentle, so powerful and so wonderful.
This is to you. my love. You are the one who stood strong, when you could have fallen, and no one would have blamed you.

This is me

I have been broken, bent and hurt.
I have fallen down more times than I would like to admit.

I have been used and mistreated, unsure of my own worth.
Allowing people into my life that did not deserve me.

Putting my time and energy into the wrong things, leaving myself drained so many times…

But

I will not give up.
I am fierce. I am strong. I AM a ******* warrior.

For all the times I have fallen down, I have risen back up.

Be warned, world. The real me is coming. Every single day I fight on and build myself back up, the real me is closer to being released.

And the world is not ready….
