Make It Stop
May 20, 2015
Sometimes I cry,
I have acne,
I’m to big to dance,
I’m sick,
I’m not as fit as I can be,
I need to be better,
I suck at math,
I don’t want to disappoint the people I love.
Please make it stop.
go away, go away,
How many calories are in a burrito?
I’m so damn ugly,
My head hurts,
Why would he ever like me?
I’m a b****.
I’m so negative.
I don’t want these thoughts,
I don’t want to be spoiled and hate my life.
I have it good.
But I can’t.
Please make it stop.
Too many tears,
this self hatred swirling around in me just builds.
I love life,
but it’s distorted by shadow and flame.
Please make it stop.
Someone please give me a hand out of this dark.

I can tell you were in a dark time when you wrote this poem; the emotions produced by your words are so intensely RAW that my own tear ducts are starting to falter. Beautiful, beautiful writing. If you ever feel like you're bad at everything, just remember you're fantastic at writing. (: As far as your personal life goes, I understand this isn't really my place, but just know we Inkies have got your back. We got you. Gorgeous poem, all in all.
This poem was a way to let go of these thoughts swirling around in me. I cetainly don't always feel like this, but it does happen. Sometimes I just need a little help to look at everything I love instead of hate.
