I am the world's best liar. I'm not saying this because I forthrightly lie, no. Not to the people around me. I lie to myself. I lie because I have to. Because how else am I supposed to get myself out of bed? How else do I live half alive and stuck in my mind?    I tell myself I'm fine.             That's the best lie I can think of

Liar, liar
i fill myself up with liquor only to find that i'm still empty. people fill me up with expectations & every time they fail they pour a portion of my soul out into the gutter & i'm still empty. lovers pursue me with sweet words & fill me up with dreams of a perfect romance & when it ends my heart breaks, spilling out the few drops left of my soul, making me emptier than before. i nourish friendships using the substance from my soul only to watch them dwindle & die leaving my soul substance-less & i'm still empty. i write this poem with the hope that maybe, just maybe it can make me feel whole again but i'm still empty. — @beeyroyce.

empty
Some days Getting out of bed is the hardest challenge The demons living underneath my bed are now crawling beneath my sheets. There's no use in trying Sleeping away the pain is the best way to avoid it Some days I can't stay in my own bed I can't even stay in my own home The touch and company of a stranger can fill this emptiness even for a moment Sleeping away the pain is the best way to avoid it Some days Those bottle of pills looks promising It's crazy that the same hand used to create can also hold the thing that kills you And I don't just mean the pills; I mean his hand Sleeping away the pain is the best way to avoid it

Suicide
POSSIBLE TRIGGERS: Self harm I looked down and saw a scar Of where I used to be. A long, steady coursing line Down my arm. My scar invited me down it’s course, Down its bright red river. My curiosity begs me to go back. I am weak from days of crying, Nights without sleep, And no strength on which to lean. It would be so easy to press back down And reopen what I closed. I just have to keep trying, Have to keep fighting.

Old Scars
I'm slipping I'm falling I can't keep it together My seems are coming undone My fat hangs off me in rolls Don't eat Don't you ******* eat Look at your body You are ugly and pathetic Look at your uneven tan You have fat *** thighs Your body is disproportionate Look at you genitilia Just look at them Look how wrong they are They don't fit you You are such a failure that your own body can't stand you Let the self hate build up Let the dysphoria overwhelm you Let Ana whispering in your ear be heard You owe yourself this much You deserve every last bit Past sliping Past falling You are done

the worst part of having a bad day is not being able to cry it out the day has been complete **** all you want is to scream and yell but you don’t feel anything you are numb you can’t smile cause it takes too much energy but you can’t cry either cause you don’t feel anything you’re just paralyzed your heart is aching and you can’t breathe can I please just to cry it out the next time?

What is it to purge? Why do people suffer Purging makes me numb It takes many forms Emotional pain Physical pain The lesser me Would purge sustenance I purge differently now I purge words Like the ones on this page I purge my feelings All up and down the paper Less damage to my body Nourishing my soul This is how I purge now

Purge
Dear me, One day, you’ll see, That a small meal makes a victory. But until then, Again and again, You’ll keep purging, And pinching, And dreaming; That one day, You’ll be just as skinny, As you wish you could be.
