At times like this i wish i had just slit my wrists when nobody gave a **** In sociology we learned the term culture lag, Society takes some time to adapt to new technology It took me a while too So why do you only choose to love me once i hate myself? Its not fair to ask me to be okay now. Once i've started agreeing to everyone telling me i'm worthless They've started saying words like talented, gorgeous, kind It. Is. Not. Fair. I cant take it anymore. Everything is a lie and im so sick of it. Dont tell me you love me. Give up. Hit me. Hurt me. Dont write about how you cry when i slice my skin. You only loved me once i became incapable of loving myself.

to nobody in particular
The abyss between living and dying Limbo for the cowards like us Who feel with vicious intensity Can you feel the pressure building inside Shaking your cells like a bottle of coke Trying to release it- slowly now Crack the lid Slicing away at skin as if the disease is in our blood Dripping ink on paper while our lips pray for love Wailing curses no one will ever hear ******* useless strangers till the loneliness disappears Shooting up so your soul finally feels alive And when all that is gone you simply want to die A whole bin of toys to choose from So we don't have to extinguish this nightmare Because if we chose to let it spill out on its own We would have to step to one side- personally, I don't know whether to live or die

I'm sitting here Reading her poetry And i know i would hate it Despise her, scream and shake If she ever did that to me but Nevertheless, here i am Tears rushing down As the lonliness Pours out From her words Spilling through the screen And dripping down my shirt In fat drops of saltwater and mucus And my heart is aching i wonder how Much pressure the human heart can take But my A&P; teacher hasn't taught me that yet The pressure keeps building and i want To give her all the love she deserves To rip the sadness from her chest And shove it inside my ribcage Keep it locked up so that She doesn't feel pain I'm so sorry

My Sister
I put a cigarette out on my wrist And smiled as I thought of you I'll keep smoking keep drinking I'll keep fighting until the stench of your hands are gone

****
Like the ancient Greek gods and goddesses It is a boastful caricature of qualities To some it is heaven, nirvana, swarga loka A promise of better days to come If they can once (just once) be good enough Its a pure soul, a blissful life A polished floor, the colors of space Perfection is everything Perfection is nothing Like the ancient Greek gods and goddesses It is too full of itself, pretentious and vain To some it looks like heaven, nirvana, swarga loka Far away but they want to touch If only they could wash the stains from their souls But those stains are necessary They are the stars in the sky The universe is composed of inkstains blended together Accidents exist but if we look We can see the imprints the leave The cosmos, the stars Hurricanes and fires Newborn babies, hope and love Lost limbs and burnt eyes Death and cruel lies Are not perfection But they help us see the strength in us They help us find real love By embracing imperfection we learn to live

Perfection is a Myth
I avoid food and love and lust Because I ache for it Because it makes me feel normal A momentary high is not Worth the inevitable plummet And as you reach your hands around my neck I am not sure if you are going to Caress me, envelop me in kisses Or choke away this pulsing pain I am not sure which I long for more Inside me there is darkness A contorted version of the little girl I used to be once upon a time I am still that ugly little girl Who prayed for birds and bugs Then turned around and beat herself up with bike chains and pavement and rock But maybe i am something more now Fear courses through my veins I am deciding who I will be

two faced
Such a compelling urge To walk the path of self destruction It is that feeling you get When your rent is due in a week And you still don't have the cash For the third month straight That force that drives men To fight for their families Three thousand miles away That causes missionaries To die for their cause It is reckless abandonment Of safety and well being As the needle keeps calling Or the bottle or the brothel And you tell yourself: One last time Tonight will be the last Because your heart is racing Like a train full speed And one drop will calm you down And one cut can't hurt And you'll stop some other time When it's less stressful When school is over When he comes home But it never ends This is a vicious cycle that tears Your heart and rips your veins It seeps into your skin And nests in your skull It is an invisible parasite Feeding on everything important Until at last You wither away

ADDICTIONS
I want to take the darkness away My hands throb with the wish To rest upon the ground and Absorb the loneliness from this earth The light still casts to many shadows For my sensitive eyes to see I wan't to cast out the darkness And give unto you beauty You are much to young To feel such pain But life is not a wish granting factory And the tears still stream down your face I want to take back the burns on your thighs I want to scream until the wind returns your laugh I made a wish on a dandelion today That you could find happiness And i blew as hard as i could

Let me in...
I wanted to take all of the darkness out of your life And transform it into something beautiful So i traveled to all the bookstores i could find And googled spells to banish darkness Your spirit sat in melancholy as i poured over words I whispered prayers to whatever deity there may be And questioned how far i would go for you As i pricked my skin and abandoned my life What a strange thing it was to find coming home That you had decayed into an emptied shell For as i was trying to find out how to fix you You had fallen apart because of a cureable loneliness

I left when you needed me but **** i wish i had saved you
Anorexia is a demon An angel wrapped in a shroud of darkness It starts out slowly Restricting a bit Chewing 32 times before swallowing Writing down the foods that you eat Then she knows you're falling Maybe you should start skipping lunch Did you really just snack? Your insides become an empty cavern as she makes her home in your lungs That overwhelming guilt When you reach inside the bag of Doritos And you want to cry because it's all you have to eat today No she screams And you obey because you don't know what else to do And your sinking in this abyss of loneliness She makes it better, she makes you feel so free You think you may collapse from love Stupid cow Feel the fat swim around your tummy, thighs, ribs And you feel so strong when you can go 16, 24, 48 hours Without so much as a cough drop hitting your stomach And the empty echo of your stomach feels like comfort Even though it hurts She took over my mind and ever since then i have been trying to get it back My sanity, my personality, my happiness The light has gone out and i stare at pictures of me The emptiness behind these dark brown eyes is unbearable I thought this would make me undefeatable But i feel more guilty than before This didn't make me strong, this crushed me more than i thought anything could
