Prison

Always Broken

Prison

I'm never going to be fixed

I’m never going to be free

I’m never going to escape the feelings that keep weighing on me
I'm never going to have the pieces of my heart together
I'm never going to beat the same
I'm never going to be the same
I want to numb the pain so bad that if it was physical I would keep
punching myself, I would keep my body in hot water for hours or hit my head on the wall until I can't feel pain anymore
You hurt me
You lied to me
You chose to be with me when I was at my most vulnerable
You chose to be with me so you can break me
Because I wasn't good enough
I was kind
I was sweet
Qualities you never wanted in me
You chose to be with me because I was weak
You knew that if you had hurt me
I could never be the same
Your excuses were that you wanted to toughen me out
To not be kind
To not be sweet
I can't even recognize the old me
You knew by hurting me, I would hurt myself
I would cry to sleep
I would want to cut my skin so deep so it can bleed
To the point where I would rush to the emergency room
Where doctors would heal me
You knew that I was so weak that I wouldn't want to breathe
You knew that I would be depressed
And feel like no one will ever love me
That no one will ever care for or about me
You would curse at me
You would grab me
You would use me
You would cause me agony
I feel so trapped inside my own body because I can never be free of the hurt, and the pain that you had caused me
I can never be free of you because all you do is haunt me
All the bad memories haunt me
They surround me
They're trapped inside me
I can never trust anyone ever again
Because of the type of love that you showed me when it wasn't really love
and just abuse
It was control over my soul that is becoming cold
You shattered my heart into pieces

Forever tortured in my mind, forever suffering inside because of your cruel ways

Should’ve known that you never meant a damn thing when you said you were devoted to me
And I can't seem to put the pieces of my heart back in the right place so it can beat properly
You broke me and
I will always be
Because of the choice I made when I thought you were good for me
But to find out that
I will never be free because of the feelings I have, the pain that you caused, making me unknown to my own self, realizing
I am a prisoner in my own body.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
