Things he should know

There will be days where I want to cease to exist;

pull me in tight and kiss me. Most days I just need someone to care for me.

Most days, you won’t know how I actually feel.

Forgive me for that. I try to express myself. I really do.

Just pay close attention if I’m curt and distant.

I just want someone to care.

There will be days where I won’t eat, or sleep, or do anything.

Prompt me to do these things, or do them with me. Some days I just don’t want to take care of myself.

Be slow and careful with me.

There will be days when I listen to heavy rock music and nothing else.

Listen to the lyrics. They can explain me better than I can.

I still have nightmares and anxiety about things. Understand and listen.

Let me cry about them. Be warm so I can open up to you. I barely open up to myself about them.

I will break your heart; whether it be how beautiful I am in the 5 a.m morning sun,

or what I said in the dead of the night that makes you question.

Be patient and kind.

I have my demons and you have yours.

The most threatening is the one I see in the mirror. The same one I hear while I can’t sleep.

Know this and I won’t see that difficult to work with.

Kiss me on the forehead and hug me often.
