I don't want a Knight in Shining Armor


I don't want a Knight in shining armor I don't want someone who is going to "fix me" I am DAMAGED. and I am okay with that. I need a person...ANY person...who will take me for who I am. In ANY state I am. When you see me curled up in bed with a pillow over my face crying I just want you to hug me. I just want comfortable silence A silence that says "it will be okay" no words. Someone who won't say "have you taken your medications" when the going gets rough... but instead reassures if I have taken them today. A person that will understand that anxiety is a real thing. not just nervousness. "Please be on time". I will say this often. I am sorry. I will say sorry often. I'm sorry. Please bare with me. I don't want a Knight in Shining Armor I just want to be cared and loved for as who I am.
