snarled ivy climbing my bones, making
an abandoned house out of my body.—

just tell me i never really mattered anyway
why am i never anyone’s first choice
im a romantic but the plot twist is that im unlovable
Do you ever get told you’re really attractive and start to think maybe you’re more attractive than you think but then you see a picture of yourself someone else took and you like oooh shit i’m worse than i thought
i cannot believe how fucking ugly i am
Me: Nah, I’m not getting my hopes up.
