in the dark.

I don’t want you to tell me that i’m perfect

because i know that i am not

i want you to take a good look at my flaws

just as i have

and despite all of those flaws, i want you to love me anyway

i want you to know that sometimes, i have bad days where i crawl into my little whole.

it’s nothing against you, but in order to be my best self, i need to spend time with the darker parts of me; those darker parts that i don’t let anyone see…

it’s nothing against you, but if you saw them they might hurt you too

and that’s something i never want to put you through
