Hidden letters : Hope could bring destruction.

You've hurt me a lot. Far more than you think you could've. Your words, your disdain, your disapproval- they've broken me even when I'm at my best. You've taken everything from me by just a condescending look or distasteful comment. You've beat me down.

But it is my fault for being so gullible to you- just you, no one else. Gullible to believe you when you say something nice to me or appreciate my work. Gullible enough to think you want the world for me too. Truth is you want the world for only yourself and the rest for me.

You may not know it and I may be stupid enough to fall for your manner every single time but I will never forgive you. Especially for these last two years. They've been torture for my pride. I have two more years to go for this torment and then I'll be gone. At least I hope so.  Because if I don't, then I'll break for real. And I'll be gone forever. For real. But that won't be on you, it'll be on me. Just me. My foolishness and my own discontent. My dream of having you be proud of me.  Proud of who I am and what I have achieved, despite your own achievements. Not second-tier to your achievements.

All these years I've almost killed myself so many times to please you. Or in the hope of pleasing you. Your words hurt me every time you disregard me. They make me bleed. Or make me want to bleed.

Every time I save myself just in time to survive, in the hope of finding my escape after two more years. I save myself so I can survive long enough to escape. So don't take that route from me. Maybe I won't want to be saved then. I will not be sorry. I'll simply be gone. And it won't be on you. It'll be on Hope.





I grew tired of hiding. They said that part of my problem is hiding it all inside me. So I decided to let it out. Post all the drafts sitting in my dashboard because they felt too personal to declare. I've decided to let it all out here. Where they are all safe. So this can be my haven.


Distraught,
K.

Stoner Agony

Every tear a waterfall  In the night the stormy night  she'll close her eyes  In the night the stormy night  away she'd fly  And dreams of  Para-para-paradise  Para-para-paradise  Para-para-paradise  She closed her eyes and tried to block out the voices. Those screaming outside and those in her head asking her to flee. She tried not to give in to the voices in her head- the voices that told her to go back to the numbness. Just so she didn't have to deal with the voices outside screaming in agony. She didn't like the darkness that the numbness brought with itself with it. However, the voices outside were tearing at her insides. She decided to listen to the ones in her mind, thinking that they knew which suffering was better. She opened the drawer beside her bed and took out a vial of liquid from it. As she reverted back to her old ways of coping, her body slowly grew limp as her mind gave way to the uncertain vagueness. Ever so s...

Leaving

"Killing you is like killing myself. But, you know, I'm pretty tired of both of us." -Arthur Bannister, The Lady from Shanghai (1947) She was the perfect little girl. She thought she did everything right.  She didn't know how it had come to this. How all the little things had brought her to this. She couldn't believe it was over, even though she was the one who had said it. She believed that home was where the heart was. Home defines us. But what if home doesn't feel like home anymore? What if it stops welcoming you in? What if it stops being warm and fuzzy and home ? Everything was fine at home. Because it wasn't home anymore. So it didn't matter whether she stayed or left. She could offer them better space by leaving. So she left. But she never left home.
