Nights like these I lay awake, writing down everything that pains and aches in me. Why must my demons haunt me, all I want to do is sleep peacefully but instead I’m typing these words in my phone hoping to turn this mess into something poetically Beautiful, I’ve cried so much I no longer have tears, I lay awake wondering who in the world even cares? I’m nobody, I’m just an empty vessel who had their soul ripped out. I try to find love and acceptance in everyone except myself. Why is it so hard for me to self love? Why do I feel the need to find love but in the end it’s just a one night kind of thing? I’m miserable, I’ll admit it. I force a smile on my face everyday, I bet you couldn’t even tell if I was in front of you face to face, nights like these seem to haunt me the most, i lay awake thinking of everything I messed up time after time, I wish I could be perfect,I wish I could be free, I wish I could be anyone else but me.
