Things You Need to Know About Me

Things You Need to Know About Me

A Poem by Ally Ann
"

A disclaimer I wrote late at night when I was feeling especially unloveable

"

Things you need to know about me 


One. 

I am broken 

fully shattered by myself and others, 

trying to pick up the puzzle pieces 

I’ve been left to find. 

Worn into a two edged sword 

that has cut my skin and left me unloveable. 


Two. 

Some days it will seem like I am cured. 

I will look whole,

as if a miracle came from heaven

and fixed my aching skin 

and wrapped me up in something that will never happen. 

I will seem okay as if everything before was just a phase, 

but I need you to know that tomorrow 

I will be me again. 

Jagged lines drawn across rainy skies 

that never quite made a connection. 


Three. 

I am trying. 

Can’t you see from the bags under my eyes 

that this is eating me alive? 

I was two steps from Hell,

but now I am four, 

trying to dig my way back to sanity. 

There is peace in giving up, 

but I have opted for chaos.

Actually I feel the same as you sometimes..And actually I am also behaving like you , someday I am behaving like I am okay and the very next day I start behaving earlier , a shattered being..This must be your true self..
Keep on writing..

Lately I have been feeling very lost, and it is comforting to come here and rediscover pieces of who I was and who I still must be "The world is trying to kill you. It is trying to do this by steal.. more..
