Mental illnesses are not something to be envious of There is nothing beautiful about being up at 4am at the fall of the moon And the constant dull ache inside of you that never stops With the hope that this pain will go away sometime soon There is nothing cute about cutting your wrists Hiding the evidence in a hurried, panicked mess And hoping you'll be the only one to know About the relationship with depression, who leaves you feeling helpless There is no reason to be envious over the girl panicking in the car park, Sobbing, shaking, running out of breath, Throwing up because of a fast heart beat, And feeling like you're seconds away from death So what is beautiful about Crimson coloured wrists, wet cheeks and sobbing so hard you throw up? Because last time I checked Pain isn't beautiful Pain is raw, honest and destructive.

Beautiful: pleasing senses or mind aesthetically
7pm My friends bring you up in conversation for the first time in months. I say it was for the best, couldn't have worked out anyway. 9pm On my own again. I can't close my eyes without thinking about you. This alcohol is burning through my body. 11pm My vision is distorted, all my mind is clearly focused on is your voice. 11.30pm Wondering if you ever think of me, or my voice. Wondering if you miss the "good morning" as soon as you wake up. Wondering if it sounds as homely coming from her. 1am I thought I was doing fine. Whenever you come up in conversation my heart starts racing and I can't stop thinking about how you made me feel, how we made each other feel. 2am This is torture. 3am Red eyes and wet cheeks. Please miss me back. Please call me and tell me. 4am I want to call you. I want nothing more than to hear your voice again. 5am Wondering if it killed a part inside of you like it killed a part of me. Wondering if I'll ever get that part back. 6am Black coffee and 10 cigarettes. I wish I could **** this habit as much as I could quit smoking if I wanted to. I know how much you couldn't stand my cigarette and alcohol kisses. 7am I break down again when I realise I'm nothing more to you than a memory. 10am Baggy eyes and unbrushed hair. Yes, I am okay, just a little tired. 9pm He's not you. But he's here and you're not.

You came up in conversation today
you came along in summer when I was blooming, although, as the months went by I started loosing my petals and even though you noticed the absence of them, you stayed but with hesitation that I have seen so often before. as a year went by you were still here still hesitating and then you told me you didn't want me anymore and I understand because she has a full set of petals and I am simply a stem but you have no idea how difficult it is to stay standing when it rains all the time
