There was this girl who loved writing

She said, thinking words that fit into what she feels puts her messed up emotions and jumbled up thought at ease

And so she writes

She writes when she feels her heart bursting in excitement and that adrenaline is coursing through her body

She writes when her shoulders are sunken and she burns herself out that when she blinks it feels her eyelids are burning themselves

She writes when her mouth is exhausted for explaining things no one seems to understand

And she writes when she thinks about you

She writes as she laughs when you said something funny 6 hours ago

Or that awkward moment you did 2 years ago

She writes as she holds back the tears when she saw you with someone else

And she writes when she remembers

That she is nothing more than a person who was just lucky enough to know you 

and fall in love with you

and appreciate you

But not lucky enough for you to do the same

And now she sits on her desk

Trying to write another poem to ease her banging heart and crippling thoughts

But no words come crashing out

She's feeling too much that she can't put it into words

She's feeling too much that she realizes tears are not the measure of sadness as she once thought

Because no tears are running down her cheeks and making her eye bloodshot

Like how it is many nights before

Just emptiness

Emptiness and Anxiety

And the constant feeling of unwanted emotions and thoughts

That makes her stomach fall and her hands tremble

And once there was this girl who found shelter and comfort in writing

And now there is this girl who is stripped that shelter and comfort

Because no words can ever describe that pain
