A past self.

Once upon a time in another life, I was girl wandering the world writing poetry about love and heartache

who doesn’t love a good bum photo?

London Goodbye

In this moment I love you

Don’t go.

But this love’s inevitable end keeps me silent

For time and distance will quickly come

The thought filling me with longing

For a love that still lives


Self-Worth

Why do I try to make you want me?


I deserve more than you.


Gummy High

Trapped behind an invisible wall

Yelling, screaming, pounding my fists

Look at me. Talk to me. Help me.


A girl without a voice

Wanting nothing more than to be a part of the world around her


Can I break through?

I will.

I must.


One Apology Too Late

I tried to take back control

To laugh about the situation

To pretend I was okay


But I wasn’t.


You triggered an instinct

And I forgot you were a friend,

someone I could stop and talk to

I didn’t have to suffer, just trying to make it through

I’m sorry I forgot myself and forgot you


These are some of my favorites and all the result of real life. Please be gentle and let me know if you want me to share more <3

SIDE NOTE: I WROTE THIS POST WEEKS BEFORE TTPD WAS RELEASED AND WROTE MOST OF THE POETRY IN 2018. AS MUCH AS I LOVE TS, SHE DIDN'T HAVE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH SHARING THIS OTHER SIDE OF ME WITH YOU. BUT MAYBE NOW YOU GET WHY I FUCKING LOVE HER MOST RECENT ALBUMS
