Was Meant for and Old Friend

...See more I’m not too sure why I’m posting this bc it was written a while ago. I don’t mind critique, if anything I encourage it, but I guess I’ve kinda wanted to show someone this poem. I appreciate anyone’s attention. It’s pretty cliche and generic at times, but hopefully the entire thing works together. A lot of subtle messages inside meant for a former friend. Thank you. Your essence haunts me I swear I only told the moon about you But with such information I wouldn’t be surprised if she had shared our story with the stars They twinkle a sort of Morse code But my soul is too young for such old languages All I can do now is search their sparkling hieroglyphs for solace The day has finally reached its end With only her murky glow left to guide me Shadows are now carved from once full branches And dead leaves offer a lullaby with the wind I should put you to rest But I’m not sure if you’ll return If I shine a light, will you come back Or will I just attract some bugs I’d like to imagine a butterfly would appear You always spoke so fondly of them But I am reminded again that it is nighttime Where the moths now roam, drinking up moonlight What a silly mirage they offer Almost a butterfly, but not quite I was almost good enough But I wasn’t exactly a butterfly, was I?

...See more Hi. I’m new to this, obviously, or I wouldn’t be under this thread, and I’m not too sure if I’m doing this right (as far as using this app). Please help me navigate. Oh and idk if I should include tw or stuff?? Anyways, a general summary of what’s been bothering me lately and what I need to fix about myself: I’m 21 btw * Last night I found out my dad and stepmom are filing for divorce. This sucks for a lot of reasons but the main are when I’ll be able to see my little sister again and where I’m going to live; along with all of the moving and emotions * I’m pretty sure I’ve got a bit of an addiction problem * I’m gay but haven’t come out yet * I’ve got only one friend and I haven’t been that good of a friend in return bc we haven’t spoken in like 6 months * Not motivated for anything despite knowing how important it is I do those things: i.e. probs dropping out of college and can’t get myself to work * Horrible anxiety * Never been in a relationship :( lowkey don’t believe in romantic love * Neglectful of my health * Broke as a joke * Still living w parents bc can’t afford to live on my own (don’t worry, I’m ashamed of this) Basically, I’m a homebody too scared of the world to do anything, which in-turn causes more problems. I don’t know how to fix myself but I can’t afford a therapist anymore. I appreciate anyone who’s read this far <3 At this point, I’m just accepting the mess of a life I’ve created for myself.
