American A mind can be a dark place and I'm just trying to walk through mine without getting lost. So here's what I've found so far. / / All poems are written by me, Jackie Harrington.
I let my eyes blur when I think of her Or that time my mom killed me with just her words I stare into the abyss like I'm proud of it Like I don't care that I feel this way Like I can only breathe inside this pain I disassociate Like that time the love of my life killed herself And I never asked for help I just sat inside myself Or that time I almost died in Massachusetts And I use to wish it happened and I live with that I think about that time in Colorado 2a.m when I almost didn't come back These are the times I hate I disassociate

Disassociate
I've been losing sleep I think I'm in way too deep Pull me out And when I scream it doesn't make a sound Dear anyone How can I love you and not love myself? The fire burns but I still love the smell Would you hate me if I went to hell? Dear anyone

Dear Anyone
I take you in like my last J Come fill me up Overfill my cup I give too much but that's okay At the end I'm me Tell me it's enough Oh darling do you see right through me? I know I've chipped away Apparently you never knew me Or you would have stayed I'm just a lost girl Living in a lost world Til I found you Only you were lost too

Last J
I am my own worst enemy At times I only see what my demons see And when it gets hard to breathe I think about my body six feet deep And I'm just being honest Half my life I sliced my skin just so I could feel inside myself Now you know I needed help There are no hard feelings But these are my hard feelings Remember when I lost that weight? You all thought I looked so great... I think my mom only loved the space I filled Now she doesn't even love that Sometimes I just can't connect Why are these feelings harder to express? There are no hard feelings But these are my hard feelings

Hard Feelings
I let the smoke fill my dim lit room Too afraid to address how I feel Too afraid to be used Out of body Sometimes it's like I don't have anybody Why do I need the smoke when I start to feel kind of funny? And why do you love me? I'm losing sight of what I'm writing Why do I bite my tongue? Why do I choose to go silent? Here comes the silence My mind feels altered Sometimes it feels so good when I start to go under I miss my colors Wish I was brighter Probably should have been loved more as a child Here comes the silence

Here Comes the Silence
Remember when I was seeking God but not myself? I'm not sure what made me stop The soreness in my knees? My fascination with trees? My fear of not being free? Cobble stone paths laid out by Father's leading the mass Only the holiest of wines I search for many things but only what takes me high Oh Sister's, why do you sacrifice? My hands stretched out hoping to reach something bigger than the atoms that create us all All of us looking before we fall I take trips because they allow me to see more And if You are out there way past the fake and adoring You know where I'll be Climbing the Tree that sets us all free

Seeking
Oh mother How do you define love? I'll never see Oh brother How do you define your soul? Does father know? Oh sister How does it feel to be the first alone?

Oh
Sometimes I feel like I lack so much passion Is that me or the depression I can't seem to form thoughts that let people in I want love but I seem to fall too deep into it And I talk a lot but no one is really listening I scribble out the words Like I forget everything that hurts Are you sure I'm not asleep Are you sure this is happening Why am I crying Why did it hurt that she never saw me There is so much suppressed noise that I'm completely silent If you can't handle me when I'm wordless Don't expect yourself to make it hurt less If you could hear my thoughts you'd understand that I'm complex And they're endless But what's the use I'm used to being abused by the pain I can't seem to lose Don't speak for me I might be slow to draw But don't think for me My trigger finger is quick to take me out of my misery Thank God for cold feet Thank God I'm terrible at endings

Cold Feet
I've ran from myself for far too long I'm all caught up To see where I am now I have to look back at where I began The sky is mixed with colors because I can finally see My hands are right in front of me Lead me to the promise land Let me bathe under the sun The only thing I want to feel is the rain and how it runs There's no need for fear or doubt Let the stars guide me home The only thing I've ever had The only thing I know I've learned to breathe more deeply I've learned to take it in And knowing I'm only 24 I've learned to live again

It's Okay
I prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed For you to come and save the day My sun was gone My skies were gray But then you left and went away So I prayed And I prayed for you that night I gave everything so you could shine So please stay away I can't breathe when you're around Leave it at bay I'm trying to stay above the ground So I prayed Then you burnt me with that cigarette So I caved Now I'm here with these regrets And now I don't pray Cause you took all the faith in me Now I pay Every night when I can't sleep Pray for me
