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
Iβm the girl who screamed wolf in love in my poems one too many times always acting like Iβm the victim always acting like Iβm the hurt party always acting like Iβm fucked over in love when the truth is I too have broken hearts I too am shit at relationships I too dispose of men once they fall off from my pedestal and so perhaps, I need to stop screaming wolf and accept that every once in a while I am the wolf whoβs capable of destroying and disposing of people as well
I need to exorcize you and you out of me before I step into a new chapter of love Itβs not fair to him to allow past chapters to haunt me and make me question my sanity and maybe thatβs ghosting you and sharing our story of toxic love in spanish and while my methods may be a tad questionable itβs the best I can do for now and for me, itβs enough
there are days I donβt feel strong enough to be their mom maybe itβs insecurity that weighs heavily on me after every fight, after every conflict it was easier when they were small and I was their favorite person the one they ran to the moment I opened the door nowadays I work much and they have their own interests to have much to do with me nowadays they bring up grievances of everything Iβve done and am doing wrong is this karma for being a bad daughter to my mom is this karma for being selfish and self absorbed for a few years of their lives Who knows- maybe itβs not about being strong, being right, or being respected maybe itβs about them knowing they are loved
you creep into my dreams once again and I hate my brain for it/canβt it understand thereβs nothing left to say/thereβs no need for closure/this distance is better for both of us/besides thereβs no coming back from this
canβt seem to get away from my demons no matter how fast i run, no matter how healed I claim to be they always haunt me in my dreams, or when Iβm at my most vulnerable and happy thinking life might finally be going right for me But out of the blue, my new boyfriend annoys me, unexpected bills show up, my stalker is back and creeping on my blog, and I fight with my teenage son I wonder what did I do to piss off the universe this time
my joe goldberg is back and a sense of doom overwhelms me especially because I know how psychol this Joe is from thinking heβs in love with me because of my blog to remember the constant barrage of harassment I endured from him for a few years, I got a major case of the icks and while I should be extra happy my blog is getting ten time the views it normally gets it creeps me out entirely knowing itβs him knowing that somehow my blog and my pics on there are fodder for his spank back and his many delusions
Itβs fading fast, the time where you willingly spend time with me Soon youβll prefer your friends to me Soon youβll lock yourself in your room and only come out for food Your voice is changing and youβre already taller than me and your hormones makes you all kinds of angry and me and everyone in the house are in denial that youβre growing up because youβve been the baby for so long our little rainbow who lights up our family and itβs hard for us to accept our baby is blossoming into a young man and every day my heart hurts more thinking how fast itβs all going, and how soon Iβll be forgotten slowly fading into your background
ego finally captured, Iβm calm and humbled the spiral of paranoia is gone no one hates me, no oneβs out to get me it was a false narrative I created in moments of madness it was fake news as I let my emotions get the better of me and control me Iβve gained clarity again
I punish the men in my life with silence I learned it from my mom sheβd last days without saying a word to my dad after a fight always waited until he broke down and apologized she always needed to win and while Iβm not as brutal as her I need to protect myself when a man makes me feel like Iβm not good enough, like Iβm a monster so I walk away calm and give a silence so deafening theyβre ask a million questions why theyβll search answers in between the lines of the posts I write and if theyβre smart enough and get the hint, theyβll stay away from me
My son is blossoming and becoming the man I always knew he could be Heβs ambitious, heβs kind,heβs a hard worker Heβs a motherβs dream come true And while at times he may still stumble and occasionally Heβs inherited strength and resilience from me It keeps him from giving up It keeps him moving towards a life full of success and happiness
one day I’m going to make her proud of me with my book
it found me on a tuesday afternoon, inspiration for a book a poetry book of sorts telling my life story and while this has happened many times I pray this one sticks because I have all of my material in my google docs at the very least, itβs given me inspiration as to where to go next
