What makes your life worth it?

Life itself is worth it. Just knowing that it could end at any moment makes me want to keep going and to keep living through everything, even if it’s painful. People of course keep me going. My family is the most important and the biggest reason to why my life is so beautiful and great. I have been surrounded by love my entire life that everything else seems to diminish when it comes close. Love, really, and obviously. Hope and all of the feelings that are attached to it. Life is just.. worth it. Getting out of bed everyday is worth it, and defeating your demons as you grow is worth it. Everything is worth it. All of it. I used to think nothing was worth it until I woke up one day and started living.

I am consumed in the thought

that it will someday become easier.

That someday we will be able

to take all of these trying times

and allow them to allow us

to become stronger. We always

were being pushed down

by misjudged opinions

from others. We listened to

the people who hardly knew

anything about our love

more than we listened to

each other. This is how

we became broken. This is how

we lost sight of what was really

important. This is how you

lost me, and this is how

I will never get you back.

I’m no longer bitter

from the lack of love

that you gave me.

You wrote about your

affections towards me

more than you ever

showed me. You never

stood by me with dignity.

And now you blame me

for our love heading

in a direction that only

led to hopelessness.

I pray that one day

you will see that it was

not only my fault.

Because in the end,

no matter how much

pain you went through

to get me to stay,

you were the one

who held the door open.

I’ve been so consumed

in trying to figure out

how to properly love you

that I forget to learn how

to properly love myself.

mostlyfiction:



By the morning, you will

have already forgotten

about me. But your memory

will always live inside

of my skin, my mind,

my fucking bloodstream.

I don’t know why we do this

to ourselves. Admitting

to the problems that are

so easily solvable.

But we keep doing this,

and we continue to keep

each other alive

by using our words

that have only become

stronger the longer

we are away

from one another.

If this is love

then I don’t want

anything to do with it.

I’m tired of waking up

at 3 a.m. to a text message

from you wondering if

you made the right choice

by choosing me.

It shouldn’t be this hard,

and I know that just as well

as you do. But this is difficult,

and I’m drained from waiting

around for your head

and your heart to make

an agreement. It shouldn’t be

this hard, and you should

know that better than anyone.

My mind is starting to lose itself

again inside of its own thoughts.

One moment, I want you,

bleeding tongue from words

that you don’t know how

to properly say. And the next

moment I want my loneliness,

sulking and sweet and focused

on the idea of my own solitude

being the only kind of romance.

I don’t know why I do this

to myself, to you, to everyone

who is just trying to get in

to make it all more bearable.

But I do this to myself,

to everyone, and I don’t

see any hint of this battle

ever ending, or a truce

ever forming.

I left what we had behind
for the sake of our hearts.
I knew that the longer
I stayed the more pain
we would both have to
endure when it came to
the end. I did not leave
what we had behind
because I was afraid
of opening myself up.
I left what we had behind
because I was afraid
that once I did open up,
you would always be 
able to find a way 
to get yourself back in.
