Breathe


Breathe slowly

NO!

breathe softly

let all of your pains and past inhibitions soothe your troubled mind

Deeply inhale

And release aal that pent up anger&hurt

Cutting off one's emotion is how one survives

i feel broken

my psyche feel broken

im broken and my family is definitely fckn broken

I am a puzzle piece, 

missing ALL of the important pieces

to fit in,

the grand masterpiece 

Sumtimes a sista' just wanna die

Die slowly

no

die softly.

Why can't God just me die?

Let me lay down while while resting my soul and burdens on the ground

Let the Earth open up and devour them

Let the grave worms feast on my dead&rotten flesh and let my family hear me roar one last time

Let my teacher know that I love them deeply and wish them the best 

Let my friends know that there's nobody to replace them

Let them know that they're dear to my heart

Let my pets know that I'm soory for demonstrating my love through abuse to them

AND most importantly,

LET mySELF know that
