A wandering soul...
I lost my youth Where did my time go... Where did it go When did my youth dry up? When did I become ma'am? When did I become so old... Oh you... You awful disease... You stole two years of my life You stole everything My beauty My vulnerability My porcelain skin Undamaged Perfect and pristine... My tiny bodice And my long hair that came to my hips You stole my confidence You stole my youth You stole my life for two **** years You... You left me in tears... But now, I will stomp on your face I triumphed And I refuse to speak to you again You don't deserve my attention You don't deserve anything of me I refuse to speak about you after all you've done You thief of my youth

I am so sorry
Little bird How I envy you in flight, little bird How I envy how you reach out and you bury yourself into the air How you can so easily glide in the wind And how you're free How I envy you, little bird How I envy your beak That doesn't get disturbed when singing That is able to speak out to truth to the world Because you're free How I envy you, little bird How you're at peace with yourself And the way you so gracefully show your peace within Your peace with nature and all that is good And the way you're free to be in whichever state you wish How I envy you, little bird How your feathers rustle in the wind And the way you're covered from head to toe The way you're not empty and alone The way you feel at home Because you're free How I envy you, little bird Because you're not trapped in this hospital room You can go wherever you please You're not sick like me How I envy you, little bird Because with all my heart I wish I was you How I envy you, little bird Because you're not me You're free

Little Bird
I'm scared Of everything I'm so scared of the reality of all this Can I just avoid it please My hip is sore Maybe that's what's triggering this It's making it real The pain is reminding me That's what's going to tell me the truth If I'm ok or not Please let me be ok Please I'm really scared

I'm so scared
I get so angry with people That don't respect death That don't mourn That don't give her the time of day A moment of silence isn't enough She needs more How can we carry on as if nothing has happened As if death didn't just happen in the most unnatural way She was so young So ready for her life to begin On the verge And you have no respect for her You can't just act normal You can't Pay her some **** respect Her death deserves more Death is something so close to me Something I've feared And been so close to I can't handle people Who have no care for its eloquence For its swift and careful precision Of taking lives Death be not proud

She needs more than this
I have an aching in my heart And I'm not sure it can be cured It bashes and begs to be heard It begs to lunge out in tears and wreckless screaming It screeches and longs to be heard It tumbles out in fear and endless longing I am afraid I am deeply afraid I'm afraid of it coming back I'm afraid of losing hope I feel guilty that I am ok And she is not God what is your purpose with me I am filled with a hunger for love and lust to feel safe in another's arms again I miss everyone who's ever made me feel safe I long to be touched To be wanted I'm starting not to hate myself anymore I kind of like me Until I try on a pair of jeans That doesn't fit right Then I hate me again I hate my mirror F*** I have so much to be grateful for Yet I feel so alone So afraid So numb So scared

An ache that can't be cured
As the needle hit my skin I flashed back to 6 months ago The first blood test The day before I was diagnosed As I cried I couldn't stop crying As I begged the nurse to pray for me I begged and I begged God That it wouldn't be true I begged I was normal then I wasnt crooked I guess there really is something wrong with me now I'm traumatized My mind isn't mine anymore It's been defiled by cancer By the experiences And the fear of death Just hearing it sends me to tears I can't shake the feeling That I merely escaped Death I'm a crooked little girl now Bent by cancer Skewed by pain Pierced by constant needles And traumatized Pain lurks in every Crack and crevice of my mind I'm damaged now I'm not me anymore, am I? I don't even find this crooked girl beautiful anymore I hate the mirror I hate this crooked girl I look at Her eyes scream She's not innocent anymore She reeks of pain She's crooked

Crooked Little Girl
Dear You I haven't thought about you for a while I've been caught up in cancer But there are times you wander my mind When I hear phrases like "he was the one" "he made me laugh and he was so in love with me" There is an incredible anger inside of me when I see your photos And then there's a sadness when I see how my eyes used to shine with you I was so happy with you Inexplicably happy I want that again I miss you sometimes But then I remember the pain you caused me I remember the lies I remember you blackening my name I remember you being a prolonged rebound that got too serious too fast I remember giving myself to you And I regret it I regret you

I am so alone Have I told you that I am desperately craving someone to hold me again Someone to desire every part of me It's a vile and animalistic need But it's real And can't be tamed

Animal need
I never thought I'd appreciate home so much... The last time I was home I was packing up for res and had long hair and life was normal. The saddest, most dramatic thing that happened thus far was a stupid heartbreak and I thought the was the end of the world. Then I got back to res and I felt strange My diagnosis happenened and life changed completely after a man uttered three words into my life that changed my life into a series of hurdles and challenges and life completely changed Nothing was normal anymore Life's focus completely changes and home is a far, distant concept unknown to you. Home became a bubble Home becomes a hospital room I never knew I missed my own bedroom so much God, you never appreciate something until it's gone do you? You don't appreciate anything until you hear "you have cancer" and your greatest fears come to life You see your parents beg to God you'll live You don't want to see them because you don't want reality to hit you Then, you get home and you have to come out of this daze This is real This is happening Cancer is so real and in your face You can't avoid it anymore This happened and you can't stay in this little positive bubble for too much longer The bubble has burst and reality has hit you right in the face. This happened. But, you're surviving.
