American i don't like the way the world uses the word 'love'
Do not tell me that I have impacted you and do not tell me that I etched a memory into your bones and that you can feel the way my lips dragged along your own flowered mouth because I am not a hurricane and I am not a natural disaster, I am only a human, I am only a voice that belongs to the choir of the world you are stuck in, I am just a grain of sand left over from a torn-up highway and discarded with the memory of us because one person shouldn't be able to affect another in the way you affect me.

Get out of my god **** head I don't want to look for you down every walkway, every sidewalk, every school hall, every classroom I don't want to wish to see your smile next to mine or hope that one day you'll crash your lips to mine or desire your hand trailing up and down my side while we lay in our bed just existing with each other I don't want to mistake strangers for you. I don't want to write about you anymore. I don't want to see you in everyone I love. I want to forget the way your smile infected everyone else's in the room I wanna forget the sound of your ****** laugh that rang out from your ******* lungs when your friends told a stupid joke I wanna forget the contour of your face how your teeth grazed your bottom lip when you were deep in thought how your eyes crinkled when you were trying so hard not to laugh I hate that i've memorized your face down to the freckle splashed on your cheeks and that I can recall your scent with so little effort and how your lips danced whenever you called my name I want you out of my ******* mind I want your memory gone Just like you are.

please go
there is a house on a busy street where there lives five busy people and in this house in these people's hearts lied several desires that they each housed in their small and precious hearts and a girl in this house knew that she was not perfect and the girl knew that she needed some kind of help and this girl understood that she needed a way out but her father was a cruel man, blaming her for things she hadn't caused, beating her for reasons unknown to her petite mind. her friends could not comprehend the pain she felt when she walked through the doorway to this place called "home" on this busy street. her mother wouldn't listen to her cries of help or desperation and all she wanted was a way out. but this story was not a fairy tale; there was no prince charming at her window, ready to take her to a safe place. her life was not as precious as the fairy princess in all the movies or the teenage girl who always finds her way out. she didn't know if she wished to drown herself in love, ***** or the sea. so she chose the latter because she was not a fan of goodbyes. and this busy house with the busy people lived on with their busy lives and didn't stop to think about the pain they had caused to the girl their sister their daughter their "friend". but their busy lives went on with or without a 'savior' to help them along.

"Savior"
I want to find something that makes me feel whole again. I want to find something that will make the gray clouds go away. I want something that will make flowers grow in the deepest parts of me. I j u s t w a n t h a p p i n e s s .

want
You told me that I needed to find someone who made me happy so I searched for anything that could lead me down a helpful path Someone once said that you shouldn't hold on to something that is gone, even if it's the one thing that keeps you alive. You have to find something new to love and cherish. What good is remembering something or someone that isn't here anymore? I feel weak I feel broken I feel nothing anymore. All I See Is The Empty That Surrounds Me Now.

Empty
and then it hits you like a wave of pure and empty sadness and you can't seem to figure out where it is coming from. and your stomach wrenches and your eyes let go of the raindrops they've been keeping safe, and your knees grow weak and you can't even find the words to write in a coherent verse that even strangers won't be able to understand but you know you can't feel anything except the crippling sadness that pulls on your heart and rips open your body and tears out your spirit and you can't seem to feel the way you felt when you were young and h a p p y before.

feeling
I believe my lungs have just let go of their last breath I feel them begin to collapse inside me  my heart gradually slows its rhythmic beating my body bends, knees fall, arms thrown down and encircling my legs and torso my skin begins to shrivel and I hear a bone slowly brush off it's white surface, eroding down in between my muscled arms and legs my eyes had closed, mouth slowly agape hands and feet that have explored so many surfaces, now fall flat no longer moving and instead resting gently on the ground I choke on the air around me and let myself go to a better world filled of white a cold, lifeless shell is all I've left behind no emotions anymore, nothing soft and warm to live on with my bones crumble now, my skin withers away I turn to dust, no longer sad anymore.

"An american nightmare, I'd rather be dead." She was sleeping in her bed, mind racing with dreams, thoughts clouding her small mind her sleep drowning in the beginning of a nightmare die, the voices whispered, waking her her petite ears that are adorned with the two diamond hearts her mother bought her for christmas last year no one wants you here, a spirit shrieks, evading her 2 am distraction, making her small body jump in fear you can't live like this, her parents, teachers, new therapists have said to her seek help, dear, they continued to preach, throughout adolescence though not realizing she was drowning in her own voice, her threatening mind after days, weeks, months, she couldn't think any more good because it was instantly covered by her own horrid thoughts so instead of writing or singing, she turned to another helper, a monster of it's own. ...the blade cut her skin, the razor made the panic disappear and the voices fade for just a few moments, that was all she needed it left her skin with a tingle, a fiery touch nothing like she had ever felt before one Night particularly her father had sought solace in alcohol that sunday evening and instead of keeping quiet to himself, only drown his sorrows of the day insults, words not of endearment, were spat her way *worthless, ***** suicidal freak, ***** all that were echoes from her weeks at that prestigious, expensive private school her parents had thrown money at because she wasn't grotesque or proletariat to even be seen in 'public schools' and instead of voicing concern over her distraught father she calmly stepped into her small, cozy bedroom adorned with every expensive thing she desired and she grabbed her blade and cut just a touch deeper, a smidge further, a small bit sharper than before. Now she lays sleeping with a gravestone at her head that reads her name and no nightmares to cloud her young mind anymore however, she hadn't realized that her nightmares did not go away, rather, they were left back on earth with her loved ones as their newly sought homes.

I'll keep saying what I have to say, kid You've never even walked a mile in my shoes and I'm up here taking a look down at your now You have absolutely no idea what i've been through in the past it's bad, but the worst part is behind me now I still live a nightmare, but you don't know what it used to be this never-ending thing, it's still with me And i'm here still why can't you be strong? You have nothing wrong and you are all ready to end everything? Don't say you're strong, kid because I waanna see you live with what I've had take a walk in my shoes, see my perspecitive for only one day and see just what i've been through.

4139- Ben Threw
anything that has once been kind to me has left and not come back. So I call you 'artificial' until you show me that you can handle seeing the deepest parts of me and still stick around. So far I've never had anyone who coud handle any part of me in their life And I'm stuck without anybody or anything to be with me And all of the friends I have aren't really my 'friends' because i'll never let them get that deep they have never and will never break me down to my core like you did
