My body is my own worst enemy Trapped. inside - and stuck Inside - with no escape from the claws of this illness that take hold of me Rage - it pours from me still, even though I have no energy left I am left with scraps of who I once was - - and now? What am I but a shadow of a previous copy version of me   I yearn and I grieve and I plead but I am led yet again and again to an endless tunnel of dread that fills me to the brim with nothing left but the face of the victim staring back at me in the mirror I fear so much and so often - this weakness has a grip so fierce on me this sickness that has stolen so much from me this demon has ****** and fed on every bit of strength I have bled of every bit of happiness I have shed and left me with - nothing Nothing but empty vacancy That is how it feels to be stuck inside a body that can no longer feel normalcy My body is my own worst enemy Trapped. inside - and stuck inside - with no escape So here I stay Stuck and inside - and Trapped with no escape

Trapped Inside
Fooled by my own exaggeration of how much I meant to you, My speciality. Agony is my new constant Haunted by your disappearance Hear it's departure, as your feet beat onto the concrete as you walk away from me. He, never was mine, no No, but I certainly tried until I fried my eyes from their sockets, and gave myself a pocket of self-hate Wait no longer, stay no more bored was he by my existence un-stimulated un-lovable? I am completely troubled. Humbled constantly by rejection Heck should I stop the effort? Step forward or step back? Cracked at the center of my sternum Hurt from all the break ups and constant, harsh, wake-up calls I've received Give me peace, give me a reprieve from the constant apathetic weave that always seems to curve around my being Beat me, with something other than indifference My preference is to suffer from verbal rejection, so don't make me beg on my hands and on my knees just put me out of my misery, please. Give me a "no" or even a blunt "GO" Own up to your own cowardice behavior, save your five year old self from beating up your twenty-seven year old ghost. Mostly- I hosted you in my heart, I created ART for you, held myself towards you... I thought it was clear Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear. Contents fragile, handle with care instead, you threw them at the wall Appalled at your complete HATE I can't wait any longer for you to grow No, I know I am low in my life, currently, but watch and see me rise by and I will surpass you in all regards. It'll be hard. It may take every ounce of me to be better than me but I know I can, without you I will be more than me Without you. Without your apathy

Consistently, I'll crave your inconsistency, Consistently, inconsistent Because-- Heaven, is what I feel when you touch my Skin. And when you sin with me in the dark, Dark night I wonder if I Might Get the chance for this song and dance to last The past is holding you back From me. Be still, stop running Stop ruining everything in your path Self-destruction Funnily enough, I know you're slipping through My fingers, so Linger no longer in my bleeding heart Just part ways with me already, I am not Steady On my own two feet with/out you See? I am defeated, I am so defeated As I crave our moments, so Heated Hot like fire; soulful desire Dire Is my craving for you to admire Me. But you won't see-- Me. Be---ating hearts, stutter, Flutter Muttering soft murmurs of want, Of need, of peace, of release Haunt me With your absence, Have sense To never come back I won't take you back, (Lie) I won't take you back (Lie, lie all I do is lie) My, by and by I slowly die And without care You stare at my pain And scoff A brush, a kick in the dirt, Don't you see my hurt? Ghosted by you, You don't see anything through To the end Scared little boy, Ruined little boy. Hurt little boy, I would've loved you, Little boy. You foolish tool I bid you adieu, My Ghost.

Us
Sweet, my sweet, you taste like enlightenment. Heightened to full-throttle maximum, Your everything hums in my bones, ***** Liquid lust, a dangerous smile, so tempting... Fading into nothingness Because you deny your feelings for me. Head my warning, my sweet and low, Forward motion will cause us to separate eternally. Might I get one more taste of you, my sweet? My heart cannot take another whack. Back to singularity, back to just me being me. Back to always relying on only my "me". Feed me with your reconciliation, Hail the absolution you seek, It's empty in my open fist. This wasn't my intention, to send you running Furiously, away from an idea of me and you and us Thus... us will never be. Thus, you and me will never see the light of day I see that now: wide-eyed, tear inducing, Bright, light, truth shoved forcefully down my throat, I see that now. Won't you come to terms with your own mortality? Contrary to what you think, time is ticking Whisking away your internal, ticking time bomb of a heart. Art is what we'd create if you'd surrender and just start To see the potential we could make, my sweet, You really do taste like heightened glory. My sweet, for me, you are purity You stir me to my core, my sweet, I wish you could be my sweetness, my reprieve. Hear me when I say, I will always crave Every last bit of affection you gave To my eager, bleeding heart. Sweet, my sweet, you taste like fire, Igniting my purpose, I worship at your altar. Faltered steps, echo from your side of the bed. As you leave me, my sweet. You always leave me, my sweet. You are so sweet, please stay with me, my sweet.

Miserably, I'll cling to the fading moments I spent with you in my bed. Fed up with things ending too early, I'll constantly be fending for those soft touches and empty hushes. Empty. What a word to describe how I feel knowing you'll be gone by Sunday, without waiting for me to heal. Monday will come and my heart will shudder. Flutters, that soft, delectable feeling that I felt in my stomach will drop and stop, halting all pleasantries. Finish me off with one last kiss, Make me miss you until I fade from the confusion. The pollution that you have caused to build up in my chest Best be worth the final touches you caress onto my skin. Sin-fully, I'll compare your clear brown gaze to the murky lust, dirtied by others. I wonder if you ever had any room under your covers. I wonder if I ever had any pull on you, ever. Never, Ever will I ever want to weather that weather-y storm you've measured with buckets of rain painfully, locking onto my chest glued to my teeth Mistaken. Misled. My soul feels erasably unfed. I bled. I bled. I ******* bled when you held me in my bed and the words of your utter denial Cried out between us, causing a separation I wanted nothing to be with. God, just three weeks. That's it. Three weeks, peaking my emotions to their utter, serene, intoxicating HIGH. My, what kind of magic have you poured into my veins. I didn't think you could ever be the cause of this much Pain. Wait. I didn't want to be another one. For me, I've always been the detached one. The one with a dismissal attitude, a missile of self-confidence and independence. Impermanence was all you were ever offering. While I always was offering you my everything. Foolishly, albeit. Albiet, foolishly. I'll be it. I will be it. I swear it. I'll be yours. But **** it, you don't need it. So? Now what? ... I'll go back inside and recreate that tall, thick wall of utter strength and unwavering singularity. Single. No more tingle in my bones, woe me. Woe is me, all right. Hope for me, that I can fight with all of my might. If only I had the power to push you away before it's too late, before I hate even a cell of that specific date. May. Thirteenth. SUNDAY.

Daydreams about my future consumed my fifteen year old mind, if only I was informed that eight years later, I'd still be daydreaming about my future. Daydreams about my future consisted of joy and freedom if only I was informed that eight years later, I'd still be restrained and joyless. Daydreams about my future so misleading to think I would be successful eight years later and I still question if this pain will ever cease to exist. Daydreams about my future, a world full of fairness that celebrates brightness not this mess of confused individuality where anonymity is the new frontier. Daydreams about my future, gave me hope that one day I would find the acceptance I so desperately craved Eight years later and I'm still hungry. Daydreams about my future, reprieve from the torment from my peers. who would have known, that eight years later my peers would still misunderstand me. Daydreams about my future, the place I withdraw and hide in. Eight years later and I'm still stuck in daydreams about my future. Daydreams about my future, a hopeless concept my young mind created to pretend that reality is nonexistent Eight years later and my reality is still choking the life from me. Daydreams about my future, the only thing that keeps me going, eight years later and I'm still relying on a lie to get me through this life until it's time to die Daydreams about my future, who would have known that I would be so naive to stay here Eight years later, my twenty-three year old mind has disappointed my fifteen year old self. Daydreams about my future, are all I have left. Eight years later and I'm still here, daydreaming about my future.

Misunderstood. Little girl that Could Not Articulate her pain Stained on her heart, mediocrity and other's hypocrisy Stop and see for a moment that her naivete was stolen Bolden your mind time for a story, you wore her down She shut herself off all because you scoff at her pain Rain is a reprieve from the judgment you cast At last, when the moment is too late, maybe you'll see that you created her hate she is not without cause, pause and reflect before you object Misunderstood, little girl who's only dream was to shine, by and by she slowly dies watch her decay at your misguided guide by and by she slowly dies Misunderstood, little girl who believed in love now is wrung of any positive light, she's blight with sadness, and insatiable madness. Crass she may be, she always wanted to see if she could shine as bright as she dreamed she could be Misunderstood, little girl by and by she slowly dies without cause, without care you scoff at her pain. Rain is a reprieve from the judgment you cast. By and by she slowly dies. Misunderstood. Lttle girl.

Restless leg syndrome A hindrance on my being Retching foam dribbles out the side of my mouth South it goes, down to the ground. Wound tight with salvia my self-hatred flows in unity with it The acidity of the bite bursts to flames as the earth hits it Worth every penny, I chuckle as I chuck a bottle of pills into the billfold of my coat. "Won't this hurt?" That's the point. Right, back to the top Restless leg syndrome Catching on? My mind can't contain one thought at a time I spin on a dime, fine dining is the drug of the millennial nines. Hi! I'm super high today. Just kidding, I'll never smoke **** see me judging you in the corner? I'm a straight laced, even paced large tempered feminist ***** Pitch me your best rich boy pitch to get a date and maybe I won't chuck your ***** into a ditch. Hitch a ride down the road Follow it now, down it goes! Drop out quick! Here comes the gun run from it fast, till you reach the sun Worship me or hate me, I don't really care. Stare at me until you see who you wish I actually was t'was a sad story I read when I found out you would be dead by nine o'clock this evening Did I tell you I plotted this reaping? I peep in on your life from time to time Crime is the center of my kind Find me in the dark deep corners of your mind, I'm always there Seeing and watching but never debauching. Have I mentioned I suffer from restless leg syndrome? It really is a hindrance on my being. "Won't this hurt?", you ask That's the point. Right, back to the top

Ignorant, stupid girl. Whirl away from feeling anything deeper than the required formal, reaping. Plow forward without looking back Stack your bones into place and race to the finish. Diminish in the desperation that is eating away your entire, black soul. Woefully, yearn to be away from the destruction of your lack of a functioning heart. Part ways with your stray, lame days that tear into your skin Sin until you change your outer appearance Fear nothing unless it begs you to use emotion Bludgeon doubt with a mighty fist Wistfully break through the glass that is encasing your cryptically fluid wallows Give the dark permission to swallow any good, light, bubbly thoughts Be brought back to reality snap back to gravity and laugh at me, at you. Stew your lack of identity to the core let it bore you into a skeleton of who you once were before. Furnish that dark, deep hole that you now inhabit Stab it away, until you begin to decay And rejoice at your last dying day!
