Slow and steady

June 11, 2013 
2 years 
2 years ago today he did the unthinkable. 2 years ago he was caught. 2 years ago at this time I had no idea that in the next few weeks my entire world would come crashing down and it would take all that was left of me to make it through the next month, and year. It’s been 2 years but I still feel that pain everyday.


July 3, 2013
Thinking back to this day two years ago, I remember every detail. I still remember what I was wearing. A mango colored tank top thing with a white tank top under it and my blue jean shorts. My dad had on a white golf shirt and khakis. I didn't say more than a few words during that conversation. I remember trying not to cry and not succeeding. And I remember that intense burning in my throat.




this is as far as i got when i was writing this post on the third. not even really because it hurt too much but because i didn't know how to put the thoughts in my head into words on the screen. i still don't know how so im posting it anyway. theres no hatred or anger towards him. i can't make myself hate him because i know if he was in pain or needed a friend i'd be there for him no matter how much pain he has caused me in the past. that's where i am. we just exist on the same planet, two people with a deep past. 

slow

--i wonder if people would take a second glance if they knew about the demons that crawl through my brain every night, and the scars that lace my skin, and all the times i've sat in the shower and cried. Would you still think i was beautiful if i let you see all the pain that's underneath? Or if i let you trace each fragile scar: would you still think i was strong? What about if i told you that every day i wake up i wish i'd stayed asleep? Am i still pretty or cute or smart? Or am i just a broken record that can't seem to play the right melody?
--i'm actually so sad deep inside my heart is cold darkness, but when i see you my soul smiles and i am happy.

i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying. i'm trying.
