28/F/California A space thats MINE.
You poured the gasoline and lit the match Now I’m burning Screaming in the dead of night I’m hurting Fighting for my life I’m dying You had the water But now I have the grave

You Let Me Burn
My heart hates me Screaming from the top of its lungs SAVE ME running for its life HELP ME PLEASE LET MY MIND TAKE OVER My heart hurts for me STOP FOLLOWING ME I CANNOT GUIDE YOU My hearts telling me to go the other way Do not follow beyond this point Those signs are their for a reason There are land mines to be stepped on Use your brain Don’t be insane My heart hates me Hates the bandages and the glue I put through this body YOU CARE TOO MUCH FOR OTHERS My heart hates me THEY TREAT YOU LIKE DIRT My heart says DON’T LET THEM WALK ON YOU, YOU AREN’T THEIR DOORMAT Stop it, stop it now But one flip of this switch and it’s all over I don’t know that my mind will give up the spot light My mind will put an end to love because hate is all it’s received. My heart doesn’t know what’s it’s saying I DO It’s time you stopped stepping on these mines Started stepping into your own boundaries and lines My heart needs a break My mind ready I WILL SAVE YOU

Surrender
This body did nothing to you Yet destroying it is what you do Picking it apart piece by piece and never putting it back together This body didn’t harm you Yet you scrape across it line by line like a farmer preparing its crops This body did not stop loving you You stopped loving you You stopped holding your body up You let others tread against your body while their footprints lay across it like a door mat You allowed your body to become a home to this jigsaw puzzle that you refuse to piece back together You- you put your body on display I wish it to be in an art museums but these words I cannot say You didn’t not cherish your body You let people tell your body that it was broken, ugly, disgusting What did your body do to you to be the punching bag in the middle of the ring Whoever hits it harder wins You put your body in trash bins You put your body in places it cannot win But you You can put it back together again This isn’t Humpty Dumpty This is your body begging for you to love you. You need to love you You need to hold you You need to heal you

The things that were once sweet are now sour Holding it together every hour Of every day No time to play Just to pray Pray and pray the same thing every day That you don’t decay So you plant a seed You turn into a tree As you are gone it grows and grows Because your pain is what makes its soil rich Your body the roots And your soul the fruits. How lovely now it is to live.

There’s no ground beneath me No net to catch me No one to save me Nothing to stop me from falling I jumped willing This circus came to town And everyone’s here for a show Come one, come all Step right up to see the freak show Grab your popcorn Grab your chair and prepare for a good time Up the ladder I climb Up and up and up and up Ready to go Ready to leave them wondering if the red soaked ground is part of the act. But my neck has cracked

The Freak Show
Dear mom, I remember all the times you made me feel little Belittled Your words cut through and and stuck to me like a rat on a sticky trap Suffocating You needed me to take the hits So I took them You needed me to take the blame to I took it You needed me to be wrong So I was wrong You needed me to be the liar So I’m the liar You needed me to take care of you So I took care of you You needed me to pick you up from the floor So I picked you up You needed me to tell you that you did nothing wrong So I told you, you did nothing wrong I’m the evil in your magic Your show must go on and I’m the punch line. I’ll be that for you I’ll sit out and tell everyone about all the horrible things I did for you The horrible things I did to myself to allow you to be better than me Give you the attention you need I started that fire I gave you the match I let you light my world on fire But I’m putting it out. I bit my tongue for so long I could no longer speak I allowed you to speak for me. But my voice is mighty I’ll give you all the attention you want I’m not setting the record straight I know you need it more. But I now am free And I will fix my own wings and soar.

Dear Mom
One by one Things fell into place This puzzle isn’t done But we have our own space Our minds are clear No more living in fear Our once upon time Is finally here

Once upon a time
The weight of this ball and chain has won I have no nourishment in this body to fight Living in the basement The same four walls This prison I won’t make it out alive The captures who put me here have won I’ve made a list of goodbyes to ghosts who will never hear them Maybe they will rattle their chains for me as I pass

Nothing left
My minds gone. Fell off the cliff with every last piece of me My hearts not here Missing with the best of me Was there a best of me? Where is the rest of me? My memory Gone Like my mind and the rest of me
