a feeling of desire for you, anticipating our next kiss, anticipating the first time you make me yours and I almost die from our mutual pleasure anticipating the first time weβre somewhere where you make me coffee and those 3 little words I havenβt heard in a long time slip out of your mouth
I try to banish the clouds of doubts and insecurities in me everytime Iβm in love, I get like this everytime I start to feel comfortable in a new sanctuary I start to question if iβm worthy, if iβm deserving is it possible that really, Iβm the problem and the one who sabotages everything
Cover me with a blanket of lies and tell me you love me tell me Iβm the only one for you and false promises about youβll never leave and how youβre not like the other guys Love me at your convenience, love me when Iβm easy Iβll believe the fantasy and play my role of the perfect and polite princess until one day, I grow out of my role and explode and Iβll discover once again youβre like everyone else who can only stand me for a short while and accuse me of being a crazy bitch and leave
putting in bold letters I support ICE in your facebook profile pic I quickly unfriended yours and your husbandβs joint facebook account the one created after he stepped out on you and karma was served to you for being a homewrecker several years ago the one created to keep tabs on him so he wouldnβt do it again and as I write this, I almost laugh hysterically because of course it makes sense that you support Trump, ICE, and everyone who wants to destroy and rips rights away from everyone whoβs not white and straight After all, didnβt you yourself tear a family apart? so it makes perfect sense also I always wondered who the other woman was from your hateful vitriol of immigrants and latinas she must be one hell of a Latina who almost took your man
Iβll leave an emotional stain on your life that will be hard to get rid of Youβll curse the day I was born Youβll regret the day you ever meet me because I demand respect, because Iβll never be your safe place because Iβll say βnoβ to being relegated to the role of mistress and youβll accuse me of being crazy and narcissist just because I wanted to be treated with dignity just because I want to be seen as more than another girl to pass the time with
once my boundaries are crossed, I CUT YOU OUT LIKE TAGS ON MY CLOTHING (like the great Conan Gray said)
itβs not romance, itβs harassment placing me on your dream girl altar and telling me about your boner Even after IΒ told you no But then you still threw me your delusional love and when I was honest right away and I told you βIβm sorry but noβ somehow now Iβm a crazy bitch, a stranger whoβs letting her mental illness talk for her after calling out your misogynistic behavior All I said was no to you and the insults come on cue I warned you, didnβt I and now foul, you cry I told you I wasnβt ready for what you had to offer but you kept playing the part of my great admirer and maybe Iβm fucked up in the head but your fantasies I needed to behead I needed to keep myself safe from men like you who try to bully me into loving them into giving in because your endless attention and compliments havenβt you read my story? Iβm not no longer a woman who bends and bends to manβs thirst for me
my rage comes in like a bright orange burst and it explodes in social media posts, my notebooks, and journal itβs my inner child scared and anxious who feels threatened and take it upon herself to call on middle age me to defend her, to protect her from the cruelty and abuse happening in front of her so many families like mine torn apart so many immigrant children like me many years ago crying for their parents not understanding why this is happening and I feel the heavy weight of impotence not knowing how I can help or what to do to stop all of this needless pain and suffering happening in front of me and all I see is a bright orange burst of rage ready to punch walls because my empathetic and soft heart feels the cries, the whimpers, the screams of the parents and kids whose only crime was to leave their country in search for a better life
Iβve walked through the warzone of my love life long enough to know when a bomb is about to explode (when I fall of some guyβs dream girl altar) It’s a minefield full of suppressed feelings consequences of accommodating to a manβs ego And Iβll tread ever so carefully I donβt want to be alone, I just want to be loved, Iβll bend and bend until you call me Gumby Except Iβm not and then Iβll snap and another bomb will go off βYouβre crazy,β youβre dangerousβ β I donβt recognize youβ all for expressing my feelings and wanting respect and dignity
especialmente aquel hombre que me falta El respeto
No me vendo por tus promesas o tus piropos o por dinero o por tu supuesto amor porque yo valgo mas que mi belleza porque soy todo un mundo de magia y talento entonces quedate con tu dinero y falsas promesas de amor y nunca me busques mas
floating in a neon pink haze , the afterlife awaits no more suffering, no more mental health crisis no more dark doses of reality this could be lovely and nice but Iβm pushed out by forces beyond my control wake up in a fog my soulβs purpose has not been fulfilled I must continue telling my story
In therapy Iβm supposed to write about the last thing that cause me grief and I think itβs funny considering the tons of poetry and journal entries Iβve written about it Iβm tired of writing about it, Iβm tired of talking about it Iβm tired of thinking about it and I want to tell my therapist I donβt have homework for this week but this is part of therapy this is what I need to address the unhealed trauma within so Iβll write for the 1000th time about the last thing that caused trauma and grief hoping my therapist will provide valuable insight on how to let go of it
I believe in second and third chances because more often than not Iβm the one whoβs written off because more often than Iβm left after the first time I fuck up because more often than Iβm expected to be almost perfect and this weighs on me heavily but itβs my cruel reality so Iβll give a second, a third, even a 4th chance because I believe people can change because I accept people for the humans they are because even if my benevolence burns me at times at least I donβt commit an emotional crime cause judgment without compassion makes one an inhumane and callous
And so she self medicated with sleeping pills, alcohol and Almodovar films she wanted to drown out the feelings of worthlessness within her she was exhausted from repeating the same lust story she needed just for today to numb out her feelings, to escape the fire in her brain that burns with self-pity and self hate
temptation all around me to repeat the same unhealthy stories to the sabotage the healthy energy in front of me it would be so easy to do so allow it all to combust in front of me but I wonβt this time Iβll be different this time Iβll do my best to make it work this time he knew the poet in me before he met me and I have no hidden corners of myself left and with all that said I know we have a chance of making it
from my favorite movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”
Wish I could say Iβm a chill and cool kind of girl when it comes to love but Iβm not because once Iβm into you and I let you in it will be hard to get rid of me because I am a nurturer and Iβll love you with my whole heart and Iβll make you the center of my world and find ways for us to get closer wait, wait, wait this version of me no longer exist she went up in flames a few years back Nowadays, the slightest sirens go off in me and I want to run away and block him Cease and desist any evidence of him, the slightest offence and it takes everything out of me to remember my skills learned in therapy Tell him, I need a bit of time to process and weβll talk in the morning I know that after a good nightβs sleep, Iβll look at things differently and wonβt fuck up my new love story because of a single simple misunderstanding
