Anxiety is an angry beast
It has crooked teeth and yellow eyes
And if it wasn’t clamping it’s jaws on your neck
It might even be funny
It’s always there
A shadow in the daylight
And a ghost in the night
It peeks around doorways and hangs in pictures
It lives in your bed
Your house
And there is nowhere that is safe
Deep breathing is an aspirin for a stab wound
Fighting back is a bandaid for a bullet hole
So instead we sit
And we never stir
And we hope that maybe our brains will quiet
Or our breathing will stop
Because anything is better
Than that crooked beast that taunts me
Anxiety

Shattered pieces of hope
Scattered on the floor
Ominous ticking in my head
Crazy forevermore
Embodied spirits of dread
Soar high in the night
Sitting in on dinner parties
Giving folks quite a fright
The stars laugh triumphantly
Casting hopefuls down
Watching as they struggle
Hoping that they drown
Till they turn to apprehensive fear
Waiting for the sun to strike
And send them back to the stars
To continue their silent plight

"You sure do smile alot"
The birds always say
"You betcha"
I reply with a smile
But open my purse
And ask for a nurse
Because it's filled to the brim
Sorry if this is too grim
But my purse is a house for razor blades

Paint yourself with sores and wounds
Broken bones and a broken soul
Allow yourself to wallow in self pity, self loathing
You deserve it
I truly believe that you are the worst kind of person
Apathy is all you deserve
You used another person as a toy for your own pleasure
I feel no empathy when you are terrified by the horrors you've created
Your eyes have finally been opened
Watering as they are bombarded with smoke and flames
The destruction you have caused, created, entertained yourself with?
It's permanent. You cannot fix this. It's done.
Don't crying poor victim,
When both you and I know you're not.
Leave her alone to she can find her smile again.
Try to fix yourself before you go fixing someone else.

Hello beautiful
The words everyone wants to hear
To validate their beauty and their worth
Or simply to feel loved
You are loved
Don't ever feel alone
Because I've never met you
And I can honestly say
I love you
And whenever I see you
Hello beautiful

Why do I have to act the part
To get the help I need
I just want this all to end
and for someone to believe
That maybe if I died
I could finally breathe

I make love to Sadness and wake up in her arms.
I make out with Anger while hitting the bases.
I flirt with brothers Guilt and Shame with no care.
The guarded Fear holds me in his arms.
I date Boredom and pay for the popcorn.
On vacation, Pain comes back, “welcome home” says the sign.
Walking through the mall, I hide from Joy.
The loving Care knocks on the door that says, No Soliciting
The stalker Forgiveness earns himself a restraining order.
The beautiful Love gives me flowers that when I touch, die.

Dear Mom don’t you know?
That if I could tell you, I would?
If I believed that you could take this pain
and turn it into something else
then I would run to you. Only you.
Dear Mom don’t you know?
That if you asked the right question
I would answer in truth.
Only you would need the dictionary
to read my silent face.
Dear Mom don’t you know?
That I know your stories and how you feel
but if I compare to you, then I am a fool
Dear Mom please don’t talk
about your teenage exploits
and your adult feelings.
If you do, then I will know,
Mom is the most important.
Dear Mom please sit by
and wait
for me to accept your presence
for then I will talk.
Dear Mom please talk of love
for me and only me.
I lean on your love to stay alive.
Dear Mom don’t you know?
You can help me save myself.
As long as you are patient
with me.

She is that kind of girl
who burned herself in order
to give others light
She is that kind of girl
who never fails to make
others' laughter shows
although she is bleeding inside
She is that kind of girl
who falls in love
with a guy who alters his mind
She is that kind of girl
who always put a smile
despite the fact that she is fragile
She is the girl
with a million stories untold
but you can't never guess
Because she put a good disguise

The worst part of getting over something or someone
is realizing you actually haven’t.
