“I have issues.”

“That’s a revelation.”

“No. Seriously. I have issues.”

“All right. I’ll bite. What’s going on?”

“I don’t think I’m ever going to find someone who’ll love me.”

"..."

“What? Why're you looking at me like that?”

“You aren’t serious, right?”

“I am glad my pain makes you so incredulous.”

“All right, let me try this again. If you can't find someone who loves you, who am I to you?”

“You’re-”

“Don’t answer that. That was rhetorical. I am the girl who spends hours huddled in a corner of a library, trying to find what you love the most about Marlowe, just so I can write you a poem worthy of Shakespeare. I’ve made books my lovers, hours my enemies and you the only story.”

“You do that for-”

“I am the girl who will split her fingers in two and let the ink fall on pages and pages, just so I can paint you a review. All this just so it may make more sense to you, than that art teacher who disregards your Rubenesque, Rembrandt inspired paintings everyday. And I don’t even like classical art.”

“Why-”

“I am the girl that has watched you break her, over and over and over again, but I am still here. My wrists are thinner, my spine arched in burden of the unspoken and the fact that I am terrified to touch an instrument anymore, simply because you hate the idea of a song that is about heartbreak. And heartbreak is all I can write about.”

“Why are you telling me this now?”

“Because I am done being in love with you.”

“Why?”

“I am in love with someone else. Someone who needs it more than you.”

“Who?!”

“Me.”
Love yourself enough to have self respect. Boyfriends and girlfriends comes second after your self respect and confidence.

Another old piece. I am fine...just need to let some stuff out. Sometimes you remember things that make you angry. This was written in a moment of anger.

I find it hard to sympathize with this person (I'll call them X). They claim to love this other person (I'll call them Y), but their response to Y opening up about their fears and insecurities is to get angry at them, which isn't a good look. Not only that, but their anger is about Y not seeing something that X wasn't letting them see in the first place. How is it Y's fault that X was being secretive? This is clearly written so that we'll sympathize with X, but I find myself sympathizing with Y instead.
