The Scattered Thoughts Of A Freak

how to get over a broken heart

To get over a broken heart,

you need to feel it.

Wallow in it.

Drown in your tears.

Feel all of it.

Then stop.

Go days without thinking.

Be reckless.

Occupy your troubled mind.

Then one night,

it comes back a little too fast.

Relapses happen,

I understand that.

But move on.

Go meet new people.

Fuck around with bad company.

Kiss strangers.

Go to the extreme.

Regret that.

Feel bad.

Let it pile up.

Him.

Her.

Them.

This.

That.

Break down.

Scream.

Fall apart.

Wipe your tears.

Dust your knees.

Leave that area.

Write long letters.

To him.

To her.

To them.

About that.

About this.

Rip it all up.

Scream.

Feel frustrated.

Confused.

Lonely.

But get up.

Go sleepover friends' houses.

Night walks.

Never take out your headphones.

Drink alcohol.

Smoke weed.

Reconnect with the wrong people.

Break down.

Take it out on everyone.

Destroy.

Bad grades.

Scream.

Not sleep for days.

Sleep for days.

Pick yourself up.

Seem unbroken.

Treat yourself nice.

New makeup.

Cute clothing.

Good food.

Try a new hairstyle.

Push all the thoughts away.

Reconnect with the good people.

Sing loud as possible.

Dance in the mirror.

Sleep until noon.

Laugh.

Eat ice cream in the winter.

Pick the petals off flowers.

Have a silly crush.

Meet someone new.

Relapse.

But get up.

Move on.

Get rid of all the bad things.

Smile more.

That's how you get over it.

You pretend not to miss them,

until you don't anymore.

Break down.

But get up.

Tell those bad emotions,

Fuck off.

Be happy.

It may not always work,

but it's a start.
