18/F Holding my head and my heart, writing to relieve the pressure.
The skeleton on my shirt that matches The pain in my head as Letters pop up on my phone I cannot read From here Behind me and The more I fight my medication that Whispers to me "Sleep. Morning will come. The day is done. Smile." But The more I fidget and The more I write and The more I cry has it Screaming to me and I faint knowing I am nothing more than Pills in bottles.

5/15/17 How Are You Feeling Today?
There was this time in middle school when I kissed a guy and shouldn't have And left someone and didn't tell them Acted ****** up when I wasn't Now I am (It hurts so bad) Fell in love Destroyed myself Contemplated, contemplate, contemplating Cried in the high school bathroom over some guy that didn't matter Took Tylenol without food Never stole anything Should've stolen something Kept everything a secret Didn't stand my ground Was too forceful Lost myself in the lost and found Yes. Many things. But it doesn't matter now that it's over and Done.

5/14/17 Do You Have Any Regrets?
I am a sheep herder Everything I say is as feed to a dead horse. I whisper sweet lullabies with a deep guttural sound That frightens, yet knows the solemnity of the sky. I cry to a field of pale auspicious clouds Then feel the tingling fall and accelerating answer. Much have I seen in the break of days, Growth always came after cultivation, And fields were full of nothing. How all things stay in similarity and change into variety. But I am a sheep herder, And I have no sheep.

Black Sheep
I'm alone here I'm alone Would you just stop WOULD YOU JUST STOP AND LISTEN TO ME! I'm alone And I just repeat that again and again and AGAIN And it always seems to be true And I keep thinking I think I think and I THINK But nothing seems to happen We're trapped WE ARE TRAPPED And yet I'm free to roam You're free to go You're free to go just go JUST GO But I'm running away From what from who FROM WHERE Freedom freedom freedom OY Freedom freedom freedom OY Quit pestering me Quit it YOURE NOT EVEN HERE I wish I could go I need an adventure I need to go GET AWAY FROM ME Oh god HOW DO THEY DO IT blank memories blank thoughts empty files empty plot scared frozen scared free scared forever scared me Meds meds meds Drugs drugs brain Empty clear fuzzy Gone

Escitalopram
Little girl: Your lilac halo boasts wild days, Yet your eyes, earthy and bold, Whisper soft melodies of sweet innocence. Little girl: The bird on your shoulder shouts confidence, Yet fidit... figi... fidgeting hands Scramble days of rotten terror. Little girl: Be true to yourself; We know who you are We know you better. You're not who you claim to be, Despite all your changes. Little girl: Shut up. Be still. Be innocent. Be what we want you to be, Because all you are Is what we make you to be.

Life of a High School Senior
I guess you could say, I'm a little broken. I'm a little hurt. I'm a little angry. But I know the pain will go away. I'll smile again. You'll become a distant memory. But you are part two Of an epic tragedy That once filled the space in my chest.

Daddy Warned Me and So Did You
My hope is to find comfort in words More kind in nature than what they have heard, Our two little angel Timberwolves. Their hearts were so full And impact so great- Just seeing them smile was a blessing- That goodbye was not something you said, It was "see you later," For a promise of seeing them again. None of us saw it, There was nothing we could do, But now we play every moment in our heads Hoping to find a way to save them. But all I play now are the happy moments: The ones I heard them laugh, Saw them smile, And had them in my presence, Even for a moment. All we can do now is cling to the hope of seeing them again. All we have is each other. We must hold on to each other, Make them proud, And do everything we can in the memories of them.

Angels Returned
I feel like an adult, An adult is what I am. Responsibilities, Someone to come home to, A paycheck, I have it all And more. The desire to start my life Is palpable, The strongest feeling I've had, Yet still so far. I'm not done being a child, A child is what I am.
