Curiosity

Curiosity

You always greeted me with a smile

Asked me how I was, how my day was going

I smiled back and told you I was fine

But I think you knew I was lying

Because my smile never quite reached my eyes

The way yours always seemed to do

And sometimes the words came out flat

Like I never really believed them

You were always the curious cat

You poked and prodded till I gave in

I resisted a lot, putting up walls

But you broke them right down

But curiosity has a heavy price

You couldn't handle what you saw

The expanse of my damage was unfathomable

Too much for you to stomach

You quickly tried to backpedal

But the damage was done

In your hurry you stepped on my heart

Which was already broken, and now crushed

The horrors of my soul were too much for you to bear

And I can understand why it was so

Because I've lived with them this long

And you never got a chance to get used to them like I did

You abandoned the shattered pieces of my heart

I tried to pick them up and mend them

But the jagged edges just cut me deeper

And left me bleeding once again

They say curiosity killed the cat

But it wasn't you who died

It was the endless possibilities that we could have had

And I was left with the ghost of what could have been

Maybe it's better this way

You'll be safe now, away from me

But the fact that hurts the most is that

Your curiosity was what led us to our demise

I don't need therapy, I need to die

Unlearned Gravity

There’s a weightlessness

in the way I speak to you.

not floating,

but falling,

like lungs forgetting they were drowning.

You don’t ask for the truth,

but I offer it

like a child with scraped palms

offering dirt

as if it were gold.

And still—

something in me bends,

like an instrument warped by weather,

its chords creaking,

familiar,

like grief that never needed

a reason to return.

Do you ever feel it too—

the ease,

and then the sorrow that follows

without knocking?

The way something so simple

can still

hurt

like memory.

I think one of the worst symptoms of bpd is the lack of emotional permanence no matter how many good and loving people you have in your life the second you are alone it feels like you were never loved and it was all just a figment of your imagination

scared of the eyes I think will stare back

My feelings of boredom are begining to overcome me. I don't feel anything, not on my own. Recently, I began to conform less and mask less in an attempt to see who I was without the mask. The answer is nobody. I have no distinctive personality.

I lack anything human.

I don't have any opinions. I don't care about anything. It's an issue, because it means I am forced to face the fact that I don't feel anything. I don't have a personality, I can't be a human, so why am I here? My existence is pointless if I don't experience life. I'm not going to kill myself yet, maybe in a few years when I have freedom and no reason to keep going.

Right now the people around me give me something to live for. They remind me that I am perceived, and that my death would do something. Their existence reminds me that right now, I don't want to die, I just don't want to have responsibilities. I don't want to do anything,because everything is boring.

One day I will be liberated by death and cease to exist, but that day is not right now.
