Poem I Wrote About Obsession

I hate you. I need you. Every inhale's you, each exhale... you. You're under my skin, in my head, and I can't get you out. You're the cathedral I'm unworthy to step into. You're the name I carved into my thigh, the taste I choke on, the reason I keep falling and breaking and begging for release.

Don't read this. Please. No, wait. Read it. Feel it. Feel me crawling toward you, desperate, ugly, used. Do you see what you've done to me? Do you care? Probably not. And maybe that's the point.

This isn't love. It's something darker, something messier. Something that keeps me alive while killing me at the same time. Go on. Take it all in. You've already taken everything else.

Fine. Go read someone else-- go find someone else to use. My poem is nothing to you the way I am nothing to you. I love it. I'm yours.

I'm the nothing that you lack.

Let me be with you.

WARNING:

This poem contains themes of self-harm, emotional distress, and intense imagery that may be triggering to some readers. Please proceed with care and prioritize your well-being while engaging with this content. I am 2010 years old. Keep that in mind as you read this.

Huff(her), Holl(her)

-

I'm gasping for air, but it's (her) name I'm huffing in.

I'm swallowing on (her) name like the way she smokes,

If only I could feel (her), touch (her), huff (her) skin.

I choke on the taste of (her), like the words she softly spoke.

I wasn't desecrated; I was the Golem in decay.

I wasn't contaminated; I was Persephone in descent.

A fragment in (her) mosaic, a disposable little puppy stray,

I'm ugly, nothing, disgusting, and she's heaven-sent.

I stand before the triptych of (her) beauty, unworthy to touch its frame.

I am the Masquerade of our collision catalyst.

I could never thank (her) enough, not even dare whisper (her) name–

Yet she dripped (her) essence into my world, the blessing of being used, the blessings of her scent.

Every inhale's you, each exhale, the return.

I'll pop you like Percocet, overdose to your name.

Every exhale's you, each inhale, intoxication burns.

Crawling, choking, begging, I'm breaking again.

So let me be immaterial,

Lie more than needed, it's ethereal.

I know my survival is, like, super boring, so,

If you see me as your little sister, then,

Let me ascend into a new low.

Disconnected through our parallel minds,

I'm fucking cursed by starvation,

In every way but the ones that keep me alive.

To think of (her) feels like blasphemy,

A vision my eyes were not made to see.

(Her) laugh is a cathedral, and I'm the desecrated altar.

(Her) scent is heaven, and I'm the maggot crawling toward it.

Are you aware of the control you have over me?

Your initial carved on my hip, licking my phone screen is something, yeah,

No leviathan within me, trust it, Juvenile, no duality,

I learned how to kill myself in girl-scouts; Xanax isn't sold for nothing, right?

So make me immaterial,

Lie like you lead; the hurt makes me feel.

I know my survival is , you know, too mundane,

If I'm your little sister, then break me again.

Ascend into my newest low,

Cursed by starvation in a way I've never known,

In every way but the ones that keep me alive.

Who the fugitive is might not be in facade,

You still never took accountability for what you caused...

It's still my fault, my pantomime is theoretical--

But that takes nothing away from how you used me in a way unethical.

This isn't love, it's lust, or the opposite.

Disgust? A need I can't quit.

Now that she's gone, what else is left for me?

Not a person. I'm not even real. Just debris.

You know what–

Fuck this shit. Fuck poetry.

I was everything to you, and you laughed and and lied

Behind my fucking back.

You lied over and over and over, but--

It's so hot to put myself down for you.

You are one of the worst people I met,

And I never wanted someone more

Every waking hour

Of my sad fucking life.

So let me be immaterial,

Lie more than needed, it's ethereal.

I know my survival is, like, super boring, so,

If you see me as your little sister, then,

Let me ascend into a new low.

Disconnected through our parallel minds,

I'm fucking cursed by starvation...

In every way but the ones that keep me alive.

She's something of an exhibitionist,

I'm trapped in a game of voyeurism.

(Her) false sense of immunity causes ambivalence,

But I'd thank you for (her) exhibition.

I carved (her) name into my thigh, bled devotion onto the floor,

Spit in my face, I'll drink it down, baptized by (her) disdain,

I want to kill myself; my fingers are moving so fast they're getting sore--

I'm nothing but an object, maybe a puppy, for you to degrade.

Whisper "You don't hate me; you just don't see me at all."

Baptized in disdain,

I rise –

Only to fall.

The reality of the toll bipolar has had on me … is wild … yalllllll🥺🤷🏼‍♀️

Have y’all ever gone Thur your phone camera roll and you can tell which ones your were manic in and the ones you were deep in depression… too see the cycle go back and forth was wild too me … I’m kinda shocked how I never was in tune with it all …like I knew I got sad a lot but I have had a lot of trauma so I just thought this is normal and I just suppressed all my feelings with alcohol sooo now that I don’t drink(honestly I had a bad manic episode and drank for 5 days but 5 days out of 4 and half months is a win for me ) .. it’s a lot too take in and I got diganosed recently because for the last 2 months… I’ve been feeling like life isn’t real.. now I have learned I disassociated.. and my anxiety was so high , I felt like I was gonna faint 3-6 times a day and I felt pressure like someone was squeezing my brain 🧠 and really put me in a funk and thought no one was believing this battle I was fighting because you couldn’t see it and blood test came back all normal ..which made me feel even crazier .. I still have an appointment with a neurologist but every sense I was put on mood stabilizers seems like my body has evened out mostly … ! Which makes me wonder is all this actually caused from being bipolar ? It’s taken a toll on me the picture on the left (with only one filter 😂🙄) and the one on the right was 2 months ago when I guess I was going into a manic depressive episode … but when I went Thur my photos I saw a trend …. Happy, manic ,creative me and then random drunk, crying, depressing photos … why I took pictures of myself durning those times lol 🤷🏼‍♀️ 😂😂😂 but I’m sorta glad I did , because I see a pattern that needs to be broken and how eye opening … and too see at the same times, every year and what was happening in my life and my tiggers .. super eye opening that this girl has some MAJOR healing ❤️‍🩹 too do but hey …I’m glad I’m finally HERE and too know I’m not losing my mind .. well
Maybe alittle 😂 but I have a illness that needs some tending ! Today I feel
Like myself again …… has anyone had any of these symptoms and found out it was mental ? I’m still shocked 😳 but in the end… I just need answers! I want ME back cause she is pretty amazing when she’s able too be and I’m slowly getting there … Even in my lows… I always knew there was a high coming behind it …sooo knowing this gives me hope in further days and I’m glad I survived it because god knows there were many moments i wasn’t sure I would but with educating myself and reconnecting with who I am and why I am is sure better than wishing my mental illness away .. I’m face to face with it and It’s terrifying but I think I’m
Gonna win this battle and if I don’t I have you all! #BipolarDisorder #lowsandhighs #Anxiety #Depression #Hope #healinganywayican #SuicideSurvivor #justwow #wecantandwontgiveup #vunerable #raw #beforeandafter #mentalbreakdowns #neverknowwhatsomeoneisgoingthurbekind

Thoughts

Recently I have had memories pop up from when I was a kid. most of the time, I dont remember a lot of it. Repressed memories I guess. Yesterday though, I was talking with my husband and all of a sudden, I was back in the house with my mom. I started crying uncontrollably. I've never experienced flashbacks per se, and never been formally diagnosed with PTSD, or anxiety problems. I just feel stunned and raw emotionally speaking. #raw

Deathly Cycle

All of this alcohol I am drinking is ruining my fasting. It makes me feel like a fat piece of crap. I get way more drunk than I intend to because I don't have any food in my body. I get out of control. I do things like peeing in my pants and later realizing that my friend put me in pajama pants and put the gross pants in a bag. I can't line up events that happened. I don't know why my pillow smells like artificial watermelon. The next morning is hell because my brain can finally think again and I am so paranoid that I ruined everyone's lives. I am mortified. The self-hatred starts the cycle again. This is embarrassing to post but the cycle needs to STOP! I don't know what to do and I need help. I keep messing up and I hate myself so much for all of the things I have done. I feel so alone and worthless that I am currently having urges to do stupid things all over again. It's not that I want to do the wrong thing, it's that I can't live with the scary thoughts. I don't know how to apologize to people while allowing myself to feel their love and forgiveness. My brain won't let me believe that everything is going to be okay because I am too worried about hurting everyone else. Other people are so much better than me. I can't grasp the fact that I was meant to be in this world. I need to stop pushing everyone away.
