Pieces of my heart Scattered on the floor Like my ***** laundry Trying to pick them up Put it back together My hands shaking Fear spreading in my veins I can feel your presence over me Like a dark cloud hanging above in foggy forecast If i make the wrong move I know your arm will swing I say the wrong thing I know You will black out I cannot have a repeat of last night Choked down Punched Told that I am ugly Bruised I hate you for that If I wasn’t so soft I could pick myself up Hurt you too Cause the same pain And fear you have filled my body with I cannot have a repeat of my childhood Maybe I shouldn’t have told you What my mother did I went through too much to go through it again I see the same hatred and anger in your eyes as hers I love you As much as I hate you 50/50 Love the way you kiss me Hold me Caress me Hate the way you hit me Choke me Belittle me I know as long as I stay calm Sit right here everything will be alright There’s always a calmness before a storm I’m praying Because I cannot have a repeat of last night I cannot relive my past I got to piece my heart back together And get up

Cannot Repeat
My whole adolescence I had hope But all my prayers went unanswered All my dreams faded Black and white Forgotten My childhood wasn’t an art piece It was broken crayons on my school desk It was fear Hatred Love Tears Blood I had no idea what normal was Chaotic coincidences made up my memories Memories They burn like having a cigarette put out on your tongue Terrible brain connections I hate my memories I wish I could forget Wake up from the nightmare of Begging to be recognized For forgiveness I needed you Needed somebody to see that I was hurting bad But you were just like the rest Blind of the truth Believed the fabricated stories Trust It’s a word with a bitter taste You have it, then lose it within a matter of seconds 1 second...trust is gained 2 seconds...it’s gone Snap of a finger Blink of an eye My dear friend I love you like there’s no tomorrow I adore you All your perfect imperfections But love is never an easy emotion Loving is really a bipolar feeling Happy one second Hateful the next Crying one minute Laughing the next But my friend let me tell you One little secret I’ve been thru hell and back But that little thing called hope It still keeps me going

the lights of a cop car gave me hope I wanted them to take me away from the pain and tears home was no longer home it was a prison mom and dad were guards dad did nasty things to me I kept silent mama threw things and slammed me against cupboards she was unaware of dads behaviors I blamed my body if only I was unhealthy sloppily so... then maybe he would have left me alone mama hated me I saw it in her eyes before she erupted and came down on me but there was always a calmness before the storm bipolar it seemed laughter and praise rarely so but still there sometimes I wish I knew my real parents but they weren't much better ******* lovers I knew though if I waited my sentence I'd be out free one day someday I'd run free I survived I endured and now I'm free

Paper Dolls
I keep thinking We are no longer prisoners Bound and manacled together Pulverized by the thought That we could one day be freed I was always the alibi You led and i followed Always one step behind Was i too vulnerable? Perhaps But now the ad naseam has resurfaced When i think about what happened She didn’t deserve it What we did to her Only still to this day i don’t see Much shame in your eyes They seem jovial My brain a kaleidoscope Of gray and black thoughts You know exactly what i know That we will never be freed We are still prisoners Shackled and caged like untamed animals

prisoners
purple thoughts pool over in my mind like bruises blossoming on my thighs hands so soft and intricate as they wrapped around my neck choking my exhale whispered i love yous that fall to the ground i wanted to catch them i wanted to believe them from those soft lips that kissed me but also spoke those bitter lies purple thoughts of depression self hatred anger blaming myself instead of you purple always was my favorite color mama’s too but it never suited my thighs nor thoughts

purple thoughts
I'm still trying to learn learn how to deal with heartbreaks being happy not falling for someone too quickly who I am but I'm still lost depressed struggling with my emotions I'm so tired of "having a model's body" "perfect smile" "gorgeous lips" I don't want any of it no more I don't want the attention any longer so please stop staring at me I'm too busy learning about who I am to want to engage with you go ahead take a picture I'll play model and smile that perfect smile but inside I'm dying

learning me
You treated me wrong Like i didn’t belong I was longer shiny and new To you I had no clue As to whether You still loved me My mind was in a clouded gray fog It was hard to get out of the smog Of wicked lies And outrageous cries because You chose me Then used me Abused me Physically Verbally Mentally misused me You said you loved me And then you threw me out I was no china doll to you Only simply A rag doll I am tall But i felt so small In your presence It seemed I was nonexistent Why did you treat me so different? But at least now i know That when you touch me i no longer glow When i used to feel strong And like i belonged You knocked me down And when i rose back up You shoved me twice as hard against the wall You made me feel so small But i know i am tall I know i am stronger I know you are no longer The person i once wanted Though I am haunted by Your wicked lies Your ****** fists And my outrageous cries

Rag Doll Final
I lived my early childhood and adolescent years, dreaming. Musing about how when I grew older, I would accomplish anything and everything. I was so giddy about living in this perfect world, that all the imperfections flew right by. Because in those fantasmal dreams of mine, I saw bright swirls of colors. Hues of green and blue. shades of yellow and colors like cerise, pink, and orange. They danced around me. They stirred inside me in a halycon manner. Bubbling up so effervescently like soda pop tickling the back of my throat Nothing could break me away from your high spirits. That was until I turned a little older and received a soupcon of reality. And for the first time I felt...lost. Confusion began to nibble away at me and I became afraid. Because one by one my dreams slipped away; out of my reach--my grasp. And all the imperfections in this world that had once flew right by me--now hit me in the heart. And I had no choice but to face it. I wouldn’t be able to fantasize any longer. Like I wanted to. Because reality had arrived at my doorstep. And as I watched my amazing dreams fade away, Ashes began piling up in the back of my throat, And  dark clouds of gray and black suffocated me. I wanted to escape it all, Maybe go back to the utopian like fantasy I had built in my head, That was far better off than reality at the moment. Because this moment was all too surreal The navy currents swept me under and carried me away, and these became the tints of my broken dreams.
