trigger

warning

i cannot say i know what love feels like.

i grew up surrounded by slamming doors and half hearted apologies. i never had the strength to shout back so instead i just cried. now i realise that my relationships do not work because instead of fighting for what i believe and want i just cry. my backbone has given up on me and now i realise why no one takes me seriously. my personality has been stripped away from me and all i want is to know how it feels to love something but even when god gave me that wish the most precious gift i couldn’t take it i was too overwhelmed that i cried and cried and in simple words. i killed it.

-that was the trigger warning
