Erased

How am I supposed to feel

if I've cherished someone

who didn't 

cherish me?

Once it became 

too difficult

to keep in touch,

I was simply gone

from their mind.


How can I be 

invisible?

How could I be

wiped from their life

because I didn't matter

that much?


No goodbye.

No well wishes.

Just a mask

and an act 

disquised as caring.


Was I not part of their story?

Was my name even mentioned

in their tale?

No. 


They only kept

the parts of me

that they wanted.

They only remembered 

the times that 

I was their ideal.


Yet I . . .

miss them. 

I am sad 

that they are no longer

a part of my story. 


While I didn't exist in their tale,

they existed in mine. 


Why do I care more about 

people who don't care for me?


How could I have been

erased?

Distance

Distance

I thought it would protect me.
I thought I wouldn't get hurt.
I wouldn't be heart broken.

Now
I regret.
Now
I despair.
Now I watch others
hand in hand
and wonder
if I could have been that way.

If I can have a fairytale . . .

Will I be given the chance?
Or do I need to break my own heart again?
Do I need to move on from something
that never started?

Should I stop
clinging to empty hope?
Or should I start
believing in a fairytale?

Distance
can hurt.
Distance
can complicate.

Distance
has done nothing
but allow me
to break my own heart.

Wasted Energy




The sad truth is that I have spent the majority of my life wasting time and energy on people who will not even waste time or energy on me. They won't listen, won't understand and absolutely refuse to face the truth that they have shoved at me for more years than I would ever admit. So I'm done. 
There is no point in worrying, caring and even getting angry at the unfairness of my situation, and the fact I talk to brick walls. So I have decided to put my energy in far more important things. Pursuing my dreams, learning how to be myself and discovering where I belong. 
Maybe if I take the energy I waste everyday (worrying about the future, worrying about people who  don't worry about me, getting angry at the injustice of my situation, and being terrified of the result of their actions) and use that energy to get out of this situation, and find a people that don't drain me dry, I will be a happier person.  
It's funny how protecting yourself, especially from reality and having to accept things that other people refuse to acknowledge  becomes a difficult obstacle. But the people who tell you that clearly don't care about you. Wouldn't they want you to protect yourself? To be happy? To feel safe?
So I'm clearly on my own in this situation, and I have no choice but to accept it and move on. Well fine. 
From now on, I will focus on the things I care about, and the people that actually care. Listening, trying to understand and actually caring are important details to notice when forming friendships and consulting family. If it's not there, move on.

Will I?

A vicious cycle
A winding road
A thing of brilliance
A heavy load

Whatever life is
It's always too fast
A moment forgotten
A connection that won't last

They say to live
from day to day.
Can my mind
work that way?

Can I drop all
the burdens that I bear?
Raise my voice?
Live without a care?

Risk it all
But still be me?
Witness all
that I want to see?

Go somewhere
far away
Pick a place
to write and stay

Rip the past
From under my feet
Wipe out the doubt
Depression and Defeat

Forget the pain
And never shy
From all those moments
that pass you by

Write and write
Read and read
Discover the elements
that I need.

Realize I'm only
as strong as I feel?
Create a world
where happiness is real?

All these questions
boggle my mind
While I say things
cruel and kind.

Will I make my own story
And stop living in fear?
Or will everything pass me
Year after year?
