Someone yell at me. Or bribe me. Or stab me. Or offer me your soul.

But I want to sit here and play with Liz (one of my favorite OC's)
And vibe with all you lovely people
Heeeeeeellllppppppppp

Pressure:
SpoilerSo many different
kinds of pressure
I have each day
pressure to be stronger
pressure to be faster
pressure to be smarter
pressure to be funnier
pressure to be useful
pressure to win
pressure to be better
than I can be
pressure to be
what I can’t be
and sometimes
I get flattened
by these mounds
of pressures
and these are
just a few examples
want more?
Pressure to be a
better writer
pressure to be
a better student
pressure to be
what everyone wants
me to be
but to also
be myself
pressure to know
what I want
pressure to want
what other people
think I should want
is there any question
why I don’t know
what I want
and what I need?
I’m the one
pouring these pressures
on myself
or at least a lot of them
That doesn’t change
the fact that they’re
there, that they hurt.
Tomorrow is going to be a stressful day. Feeling a lot of these pressures, and it’s only going to get worse tomorrow.

Ugh I’m so done
im done being the one stuck working while my siblings play
im done being the one stuck at home while everyone else goes and does fun stuff
im done being lonely and stupid and I just want school to stop and life to stop just so I can breathe for a second and just ugh
I just want to be someone that’s actually worth something, you know? Not just the spare that I am, the extra mouth to feed, the constant complainer
I want to stop being expected to act like an adult and then treated like a child
i just am done with it all and I want to go to sleep and not wake up until summer or better yet until graduation
but then there’s no point because how am I gonna get a job without a diploma
oh and I forgot college is after this haha
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I just don’t know what to do anymore and everything hurts and I just want to cry but I can’t and someone help please

How nice it is
to have someone
who says what
I cannot
who does that
which is impossible
when I tell him to
who will be
the person
I am
without anyone
knowing that
it’s me.
Do people like him?
They do,
for in making him
into me
I’ve made him better
than I could ever be.
He’s saved lives
fallen in love
made friends fast
ones who actually care.
He’s become
what I wish I was
while still having
the same problems
and thoughts
and feelings
that I do.
And so if he’s struggling
then how could I
should I
not?
But he can talk
to people he loves
and get help.
I can’t
I’m too afraid
so he does it for me
but,
I’ve made him too well
he seems his own person
or no one actually knows me
because they suspect
nothing, or so
it seems
to me.
SpoilerLove you all, thanks for letting me say what I could never say to people IRL!
This just kind of…came. If you know what it means, great! I don’t expect any of you to understand all of it though.

You know those days when the first thing you eat is an entire raw lemon at lunchtime?

How's it going? You don't seem to have been around too much.

To the theatre, regarding the cast:
I love standing on your stage.
Or sitting.
Or crawling.
Or being stabbed,
Or being held.
I love pretending for an eager audience.
But I don’t love you for them.
I don’t love you so I can be admired by thousands.
I don’t love you for the crowd;
I love you for the cast.
I don’t want to be loved by faces I don’t know, by people who see only the performance, by people who will love me and leave me in the same breath.
I don’t need them.
I don’t need an audience.
I need your acolytes;
I need your servants,
I need your cast.
But the audience is laughing, and the cast is so cruel.
Their care has conditions; their love is not free. Each hug is a distraction, so they can tie another string. They dance with the strings, twirl them like ribbons, and I stumble along, unaware of the danger.
It’s easier to hide.
To stay off your stage.
It’s easier to traipse along with nothing to navigate, no messy people to try to understand.
But I don’t want easier.
I want you.
And you are more than a stage.
I want what isn’t on the stage.
I want the parts no one ever sees, but everyone knows are there.
They are there. Right?
Because the hope that I’ll find them is keeping me alive.
You wouldn’t lie about something like that...
Love without strings.
Family without fear.
Belonging without breaking.
Laughter without loneliness.
Beauty without bravery.
Perfection without pain.
Care without conditions…
That’s what I wanted from the cast.
I wanted it to be easy, and natural.
I saw your acolytes as deities, and foolishly believed that they would act like the gods I saw under your lights.
That they were a pantheon where any could belong…but that there was no hierarchy.
No tiers,
And no tears.
Nothing I need to do, nothing I need to be.
It was foolish.
I see it now.
It was a child’s dream. And I should have given it up years ago.
But maybe…
Sometimes I think the dreaming is worth it.
And sometimes I think that trudging though life in a mindless oblivion is better than hurting for this moment.
And sometimes I wonder why I bother to dream
And then I open a book,
And I watch them rehearse,
And I hear laughter
In my mind.
And then I think
That maybe it’s time to pick up woodworking.
That maybe
The work and the pain and the failure are worth it for the dreams that could someday come true.
I want things that will never be. A curse, and a blessing. A curse, for the eternal hunger that will never be satisfied. And a blessing, for, like Orpheus, I can see the way the world could be, in spite of the way that it is.
So maybe,
It’s time,
To stop waiting for a cast list
To tell me I belong.
Maybe,
It's time,
To pick up a hammer
And nails
And start building a home of my own.
No walls,
For though they keep out the cold,
They keep out the lonely as well.
But a roof, to keep away the rain.
And a fire, to keep us warm.
And a stage, because wherever I go and whoever I become,
You will be there with me.
Rue
SpoilerI started this in a rather hopeless mood. Then I got pulled away from writing for a few hours, and when I came back...I wouldn't really say I was in a better mood. But it turned out very different than I thought it would.
...to those who haven't seen one of these before, hi! I write letters to the theatre, because I love/hate it, and I now have about 20 pages of them.
Ah...anything I can do for you guys? If you ask questions in poem form, I will answer them in poem form

Sometimes I just…hate myself. And everything about me. And everything I’ve done, am doing, and want to do. I hate who I’ve been, who I am, and who I want to be.
How’s everyone else doing?

*hugs*
You are are all loved and worthy of love.
