18/F/L.A California This is literally where I trauma dump, if you don’t like it leave
My skin grows to tight for my bones Every inch, every dent, every curve is bone My skin is like latex My skin is like rubber I can’t break free

Skin
Im trying my hardest. But these walls are closing in My box is becoming smaller I comfort others But never myself What did I do wrong I followed the handbook Yet this box is making it hard to breathe Please help me Please save me What have I don’t wrong? I haven’t broken a rule I haven’t broken a heart I’m trying my best to be honest I still can’t breathe I have no title But other labels float above my head Please help My box is to small My words are over flowing No one’s here … My box has Bronx to small It feels like I don’t fit in my own skin I shout for help yet the echo is defanging I hate this I hate who I am I’m trying my best But this label never goes away My box Is To Small

No title
Sticks and stones break bones. Words and feelings shatter my heart. It’s like a poet with a whip like tongue. You lash me with your words and I stagger back. Begging for the ground to swallow me whole. Words hurt. Words are hidden behind sweet tones and kind voices. But underneath they are ***** derogatory, and filthy. Don’t call a woman a w—re just because you think it’s funny. Don’t call a man a f-gg-t just because he has a different clothing style and doesn’t dress masculine. Words cut deeper than sticks and stones could ever. Words. Hurt

Words hurt
If it’s only a joke why does it sting? If it’s only a joke why do you make it personal? A joke shouldn’t be something used as a hateful thing. Jokes are supposed to be something we can look back on and laugh at; Not be ashamed because we were made insecure by a few words. Make it make sense Jokes are supposed to be lighthearted and something for a laugh. Not to make people feel ashamed. “Oh! Remember when you started-“ It’s not a joke. We’re not laughing. But you are. It’s not a joke so stop saying it after an insult because it’s not a joke.

“It’s only a joke”
I will never cheat on someone They don’t deserve it No one does They don’t deserve to stay up all night Sobbing Crying Sick to their stomach Wondering why their enough They could be a horrible person But I stand by this I Will Never Cheat

I hope this finds you well
Again I’d do it all again. Drag the blade across my wrist Watch the blood seep into the white sheets It dosent hurt It’s a high An addiction . It’s been a year I’m better Please don’t take it away I don’t know what to do with my emotions I’ve been educated in things I shouldn’t since I was 10 But don’t take this I need this I can’t handle it I’d do it Again & Again Again & Again Again & Again It won’t get too bad Right

Again & Again
I can’t speak I can’t stand up to them I’m small I’m a doll I’m quiet I’m weird I have no words. Because I don’t exist People look down on me They make fun of me. But You only live once Wear what you want, live your teen years Sneak out, lie, but don’t ruin me You bully me I take it like a wall Because I have no words But there’s so much to say I can’t express it I have no words It’s almost a question I used to talk so much But now I have no words.

You only live once
My hands are cold Calloused, Torn, Scabbed and Burned But still Your gone, I lay on your grave. Holding a flower. It’s raining I remember your words You told me you loved me How has this happened Your my safe haven You left Now I hide behind emotions I don’t know how to express A disease took you from me I wanted to be a doctor. I wanted to cure you But they still haven’t developed cure Please come back They got worse How has this happened? I’m hurting Please Please..

How has this happened
Oh look Here we are Part two of ten. You responded, You’re going to New York City. You love broadway. Your life is evolved around books. You love fantasy. Your different I like that Your not crude Your not rude Your not bratty Your not spoiled Your sweet. You’re not like others You see through my mask You ask me if I’m okay You know I stay up at night. Reading every book you tell me you; I find a way to read them Online, hard covers etc I just hope your safe I want to protect you But there’s someone new. I still want you But life’s complicated Please understand Please stay Hold my hand till the very end I beg you Good night, have fun in New York. Be safe <3
