TW// Some mentions of violence, self-deprecating thoughts and doing 'that' This one is more reassuring than the last poem I wrote hopefully. Please don't report this one. Enjoy! <33 I’m sure you know about these brutal truths. The thoughts that arrive under the cover of darkness. Those thoughts that suffocate You. You can’t breathe, but every time you try to catch your breath, more truths come rushing in. It’s always the truths you are too afraid to confront, worried that you’ll only hear the opposite of what you want. They tell you that you’re not good enough, that you’ll Never. Be. Whispers that remind you that no one loves you and no one Ever. Will. Sometimes, these brutal truths come from the people who are closest to you. These ones hurt the most. Constantly chipping away at your confidence, always pushing you closer to the tipping point. Brutal truths from friends are often brushed off as ‘just a joke,’ when really, they cut deeper than any other truth. I’m sure you heard of these brutal truths, but what no one actually realises is that these truths. Are. Lies. Someone out there loves you, people out there think your life is one worth living. These truths are just that little voice inside your head, wanting you to believe it’s lies. Instead, listen to the voices around you, the ones that always say how amazing you are, trust me, there will be one, even if that voice is small. Your life is valued, more than you will ever know, so don't leave it behind to give everyone a 'better place' because this world would not be a better place.
