she seldom rests or feels secure i wish she could catch a break i wish i could tell you what she goes through but i don't know, you might think she's crazy because i sometimes do right now she's pushing you away i wish i could make her believe "it's okay, you don't have to go through this every day" but she doesn't know any better she just wants to breakdown maybe i can just trick her stop her before she spirals figure out what she needs and remind her "these thoughts aren't you, they're a response learned from the things you've been through"

my mind is plagued
TW: suicidal ideation **** it all don't wanna do this no more everything makes me feel small like i have no control they'd care if i was gone but they don't know what's going on i'm trying to be strong while they act like nothings wrong i can't live like this anymore yet i don't know what i want but i know i don't want to be here i can't escape it anymore i've passed the point of no return every time i drink or smoke i feel my head and chest burn thinking how my life isn't what i chose you'd think by now i'd have learned but unfortunately not i continue to take wrong turns it will probably get worse until I'm forced to pretend like i believe in myself so i'm not at my end it's my time to build the life that i want but i don't know how to get it without working my *** off

As I wake everyday life seems to drag me down, It just seems like I'm a never-ending pawn, I try hard everyday to stay above ground, But it seems like drowning and my arms are bound, I can't help but to think that my life is quicksand, And it seems like everything I do I'm just not landing, My head and body fights for air, It seems like there is no end near, People look on with crossed arms, I can see in their eyes my darkest times, Feels like they're pushing me into the ground, Would they ever notice I'm no longer around, It just seems like I'm in my own quicksand, Would anyone ever give me a hand, Or am I in this fight against the hourglass, Only time can tell and I only hope this will pass, Until that time I'll be here in the quicksand, Hoping someone or something will give me a hand...

Quicksand
I barely dipped my feet while you dove head first, into treacherous waters, seeking enlightenment only to find each euphoric second drip away draining your sea. Ten dollars a hit, five dollars a hit. *"I promise I'm finished, I promise I'll quit."* A cost higher than you imagined, unfortunately. Not just for you, but me as well. *We got high in the mountains, dilated eyes gazing up to the stars, seeing God masterfully paint the universe. It was beyond description. Then... it ended. I treasured the memory like a secret lover you chased it in fervor, one after another.* ****** powder dripping from your nostrils, hiding holes in your skin, you stared in my eyes claiming you saw the heavens, opening your palm, as if you held the key to paradise. I closed it and offered mine, a key to escape the unseen prison you've bound yourself in. You frowned and turned away. I wanted to scream, whisper, plead... but I said nothing. I let you sink farther and deeper into chasms of the deep. Merely, watching. Now I sit here at the edge, with the waves around my feet, watching your figure disappear into the foam and the unforgiving jaws of choices you've made. Forgive me. I gazed into the abyss while it swallowed you whole, I could have done more to save you. I should have tried to save your soul. ...but I didn't...

Treacherous Waters
today you left but you pushed me away a while ago i go back to the night we met in my dreams sittin' on your floor lookin' into each other's eyes and smilin' i replay that image in my head as if it meant somethin' but what did it actually mean to you we were just drunk trippin' on shrooms i could've easily loved you if you let me the one night you opened up to me my heart broke for you you trusted me and i kissed the tears off your cheeks i cared about you more than myself it still wasn't enough you pushed me away and only called me past 2 am i told myself to stop tryin' because you did the night before you left we talked in your empty room i couldn't help but smile as you talked to me you said if we were up later we could hang out then you left without sayin' goodbye

gone
My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more red than her lips’ red; If snow be white, why then her ******* are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damasked, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks, And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know, That music hath a far more pleasing sound. I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress when she walks treads on the ground. And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.

haiku
we're forced to live these lives we don't even enjoy lives that we can't necessarily fix drinking our pain away being strangers with the ones we love

you don't know how much something is bothering you until you're drunk and your mind is wrapped around it engulfed in it i'm melting into my sheets but you're still in my thoughts i can't walk straight but i can still remember the last thing you said to me
