23/F/Sacramento recently laid off from my job and my boyfriend of 3 years broke up with me. Dealing with depression, anxiety, and plenty of unhealthy coping mechanisms. I'm no poet, I just need to write my feelings down sometimes.
I melt into the gap between your two front teeth When I feel you staring at me Not caring if I catch you Locking eyes but you won't look away I don't know you, but I love you Please don't leave Your mouth tastes like my new home

*** and Love
More than scars They're names and faces People in places That won't seem to leave Physically absent Forever in me I feel your fingertips Memorizing my body In the palms of my hand Making me sweat On the back of my neck My hair stands up Whispering in my ear But ignoring my calls Answering my thoughts But not responding to my pleas I'm all alone but you still won't leave I drag sharp things Across my body Attempting to set you free Blood rushes out Suddenly I can breath Cleansing my body A bath for my heart You always come back Just to leave me in the dark

Drops of Love
I'm tired of these ****** socks I still don't have clean clothes How many deep cuts will it take Til love inside me grows I can't keep track of anything Not even my own head She thinks about me often Mostly wishing I were dead I fight her She fights back Maybe we really are the same I thought I'd be the winner I'm sick of losing my own game Perhaps I'm her and she is me I'm really in control Using my power to devise a plan For my body to **** my soul I'm not sure which thoughts scarier Or if I'm even scared Death came knocking timidly If only she had dared

Her
When I say "I'm okay" I'm testing out how the words sound coming out of my mouth Hoping they will stick to my tongue Forcing me to swallow Instead they stick to your ears And you leave me alone

"Okay"
Deep blue Watered down by an urge to keep painting Another brush on the same canvas I bathe to wash away the blue, but I can't afford this water anymore Conservation has never been my concern Never stopping to think of what color I'll be when the water stops flowing Don't talk about the last drop Stay here with me until it fades my deep blue white I can't remember gold

Make it all true
I often think how phony everyone is To clap they're hands to the beat of a song at a concert To dance at a club with their friends when that one song comes on about having a fat *** To laugh at a strangers joke, but the stranger wasn't talking to them, and the joke wasn't meant for them Yet they take it anyways And let the stranger hear their reaction To say something nice to their mom when she deserves to hear kind words and it would feel good to give them How do they not feel paralyzed like I do? Don't they hear a voice Saying they'll do it wrong Or they'll be punished For some reason By someone? Or something I don't feel like I'm allowed to participate How do you give yourself permission To be a person? I like that song I wanna dance with my friends That joke was funny I love my mom Yet I am still I can't move And if they see me move It will be BAD That's all I know for sure You don't hear that? You must be kinda dumb.
