17/Non-binary/Lubbock TX Don't be fooled by my edgy sad poetry my aesthetic is pure pastels and vaporwave
It's been a bad day My eyes are tired and my limbs are heavy Slowly, my mind begins to go backwards, as though travelling through time From my body's age downward into a toddler Tears well in my eyes as I sink to my bed, hugging a plushie close to my chest Pacifier clutched in my lips Right now, I'm not a teenager or a child I'm nearly a baby This is my escape

Escape
In the morning, I keep scrolling. I check for notifications from everything, from everywhere. Youtube Tumblr Twitter Facebook Pinterest Like I said, everywhere. I scroll until I find something. Something that seems pretty. Something that seems important. I of course share the one I find pretty. I don’t want to make anyone angry at me. Do you know what that other one was? It was about something that is part of me. It was about a transgender person that had been killed. Bullied into suicide. My heart drops as I read further and further into the post. Her name was Victoria. They called her [REDACTED]. I could only imagine what she felt in that moment. Hands shaking, palms sweating, nails digging into her arms… Then I snap back to reality. I realize that...that’s me. My name is Jeremy. They called me [REDACTED]. You could only imagine what I felt like in that moment. Hands shaking, palms sweating, nails digging into my arms. This is my reality. And I ******* hate it.

We Can Only Imagine
The room is dark and quiet as you move through it Each step you take sends waves of pain flowing through your worn and tired legs And yet, You cannot rest You will not allow yourself to rest until you have reached the exit Another jolt of pain strikes and you stagger, tripping over your ankle and falling on your face. You try to make a sound. A plea for help, A sob, Anything! And yet You have no voice, no mouth, none at all. Just the bruises and blood streaking down your battle scarred body.

And I Must Scream
He feels it. The anger bubbling and turning into molten burning orange-red lava "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." He lashes out And the crow flies from the tree along with the canary The crow dives down to bark out loud shrieks and peck at him Whilst the canary attempts to grab the crow to let him have a fighting chance He is silent as his dark expression terrifies the attackers. They cannot flee. Trapped Everyone is trapped. There is crying and fire in his head but it cannot simply show. The troubled, broken dove inside the small yet mighty loris He sighs. It’s not time to talk about that right now. Now, It’s time to be brave. Unashamed of who he was born as, he strides forward Striking down those in his way.

Crow and Canary
My heart splits and shatters Not two pieces Not three A million tiny painful shards Each stab into my arms and legs Creating cuts and dark bruises Irritating my skin Turning it red Painful Bleeding Red I’m scared Will this be my demise? Slowly drowning in red until I can no longer see my skin? I scream out for help For someone A N Y O N E To help me There are so many people who’ve hurt me Unintentionally or intentionally That scares me The uncertainty of it all I don’t know who I’ll fall for Or if I’ve even fallen at all Maybe it’s because I’m a child Or maybe Just maybe I’m an idiot who's fallen head over heels for you in the most foolish way
