American I am nothing but a blank canvas being painted upon by the colors of the world.
You know what's weird about having suicidal thoughts as a kid, is that I don't really remember a "before". Since I was eight I've thought I was a waste of space and everyone's life would be better without me in it. That's ten years and I can't think how life would be if I actually enjoyed being here. If the slightest stress or inconvenience didn't get me thinking of different ways to off myself. Sometimes I think i won't feel this way if I could just get out of this house this state maybe if I left this all my suicidal thoughts would stay behind. And that's when I begin to feel trapped. In this room, in this house and I need air. The walls are surrounding me, closing in and I need to escape. So I escape into music and self medication, but eventually the ***** and **** wears off and the music dies down and I am back between these four walls gasping for air. Struggling to take a breath I reach out my hand hoping for someone to be there to grab my hand and pull me back from the brink but all I feel is empty space I need no reminders that I am alone. On the edge I stand between the end and tomorrow occasionally a gust of wind comes causing my to teeter closer to the end, but sometimes I find a string unintentionally left behind that I use to pull myself up but always in-between. I am never here nor there nor this nor that. But forever in-between

Metaphorical Ideation
Shh, did you hear that? That taunting voice, it plagues me constantly singing its cruel song. Shh, listen I can hear it now.... Second place, Runner up, you'll never be good enough. <stop> Loser, Whatever, Just disappear forever. <no> You aren't liked, You aren't loved, Why don't you. Just. Give. Up. <shut up> You're nothing, a no one, and you're never going to be one <leave me alone> Poor little baby, are you going to cry? Why don't you go and die <please just go> Aww poor little baby can you not take it anymore? Ugh, that's why being with you is such a chore. <please > They don't really like you can't you see? They're all going to leave you eventually <no you're wrong> They're only being nice that's what it is, and you know soon it will end. <just shut up> You will never be first, or second or third, because you are a waste of space that calls itself a person. <...> A waste of space no one can truly stand, just an unwanted backup plan. Unwanted, unloved stupid waste of space. It would be better for everyone if you disappeared without a trace. <...> You know it as well as I, it would be better for everyone if you'd just die. <no, no, no. shut up. shut UP. SHUT UP.> <why do you torture me every night and every day? why won't you leave me alone, no matter what i say? i wish you'd leave me alone and let me be. for all i wish for is to be free, from you and your taunting, you're torturing me. all I want is for you to leave.> I can't leave, and that is the truth, because who I am is, well, I'm you.

I'll pretend Once again That I don't feel bad I'll pretend that I don't feel anything at all While I slowly strip my walls that are already empty and stranded While I quickly rediscover how depressed my soul is and how hollow the hole in my heart is I'll pretend Once again That I'm okay, but on the inside I don't feel like being here at all I just want to wallow and listen to music until I have to pretend again or figure out how to end my pain So I'll pretend That once again That I don't feel sad I'll pretend that nothing hurts me until I wallow again

She is soft to the touch, skin smooth as silk. She glides with grace and beauty like a goddess. Gifted to this world, made by Aphrodite, she is elegant. Like Venus, she is beyond the reach of mortals, a star illuminating a darkened sky. She is everything, she owns the world. She is the envy of Helen, she is perfection.

Perfection
Your smile made me forget myself. took me away from reality, to faraway lands and beautiful places. You gave me a new home, in your arms; I could have stayed there forever, hold you tight and never let go. And get lost in your eyes I could see the stars; Surrounded by endless beauty— infinite possibilities. I drown in Your voice silences the outside world, when you talk about the future I begin to believe in Forever. But everything ends sometime once reality sets back in the dreams begin to end and we finally wake up and fall apart, until we break and drift away. Until we are alone, just trying to forget.

What Once Was Over
Who are you? Wayward lamb. Light seeker. Lost child. Who are you? Pain bearer. Guilt ridden. Heavy hearted. Who are you? Infinite labryninth. Enlonged paths. Endless journey. Who are you? Mysterious garden. Uncharted land. Hidden treasure. Who are you? Do you ask yourself this question often? Who are you? Do you need to? Soul saviour. Heart protector. Mind easer. Who are you? Masked face. Familiar stranger. Mirror image. Who are you? Do you really know it yourself? Who are you? Who's behind the masks? Locked chest. Closed doors. Sealed enteries. Denied passage. Denied acceptance. Cut off--Alone. Who are you?
