after a hurricane comes a rainbow
I’ve grown so cold as I’ve grown older. I’ve pushed people out because I just can’t deal with anything anymore.
I’m constantly between almost happy and almost suicidal.
If I killed myself, I wouldn’t want anyone to know about me for a long time. But there’s this small, selfish, part of me that wants my death to be more than a tumblr post. I feel like I have to prove something. But I’m nothing special.
I want to be happy, I just don’t know how.
I’m tired of breaking all the promises I can’t keep, and loving the ones who don’t love me.
When I see a picture of cuts, the room spins. My ears get hot, and I hear a loud ringing. My chest wells up, my craving kicks in. I want, need, release. I want the pop of the skin, the gap after the blade, the gushing of blood, the panic when I think it won’t stop. I would even deal with the guilt after, just for the momentary high of cutting.
I’m lost. But the worst part is that I’m not sure if I want to be found.
I’ll never feel good enough for anybody. Not my parents, not my best friend, no one. I’m a nuisance and a waste of time.
I sometimes think that maybe, there isn’t anyone out there for me.
I wonder if anybody would notice if I slowly disappeared
