LIVE

I am a woman trapped with a little girl’s trauma. Her hands cling to mine, a tiny mirror of all that’s broken and bruised. She hides in every cracked corner, makes friends with the shadows and secrets that haunt me. She’s made of sorrow and small reminders. She lives in me. She’s forced a home out of my heart and collects every shattered piece, clings to every sharp edge. She’s stayed with me through my teens, never to leave throughout my twenties. She’s white noise gone dark, background music to every lost part. I try to rid her out of my bloodstream, cut and scrape her away. But she lingers like a silent scar of the past, always meant to be apart of me. These days I can’t even face her because when I look into her eyes, all I see are mine.

There are days I cannot be strong. Nights I rather drown in tear stained sheets than wade in the ruin. Sometimes my soul is tired of trying. Sometimes my mind must be messy within itself. I cannot force myself to carry the weight of wreckage when my heart is weak. There are moments it must be laid to rest, that I must be put in place. And that does not mean I am giving up, it does not mean I surrender to the madness. It simply shows I’ve been fighting so hard I need to settle into the chaos. Sometimes I need to sleep with my sorrow, let it surround me until tomorrow.

I can’t keep digging myself out of this grave each morning. The weight of misery mounted on my chest is too much. This bag of bones, this mess of mind and hair, this ink stained flesh; all too heavy to hold. The hope is slipping out of my fingers, threads cling to broken nails, get caught on sharp edges. Seams stitched just to come apart again, scars heal only to be reopened. I am a melted and mended child. A tattered and torn up soul. I can’t continue to drag my feet across this earth, it hands me nothing but broken promises. I’m sick of walking on shattered wishes. I am a corpse gone cold, lying in a bed made for giving up. I heal only to hurt, love only to lose, live only to survive. Let me lay here, let me forget to come back to life.

Telling a guy to gain some weight, is same as telling a woman to lose some weight.

When you tell either of them to lose or gain some weight. You’re not just walking on fragile egg shells of their personality, but you break every ounce of confidence, all the progress they’ve made so far in trying to love their body.

No one is perfect. Stop telling everyone to get into perfect shape! Stop making people feel insecure about themselves. It mentally destroys them. Instead, try telling them they look nice. “That shirt looks so pretty on you!” It doesn’t cost anything to make anyone feel happy about themselves.

I still remember a compliment someone gave me in 5th grade of our eid festival, because now that i look back, i rarely got any; people are rarely nice to each other. People are so harsh on each other. That the love we crave so much, the healing we need, the kindness that can actually mend our soul, just gets lost in the way..

Mein Zustand wird schlimmer, also sei auf die Nachricht vorbereitet, dass ich nicht mehr hier bin.
