Entropy (Haiku #59)
They say Nothing tastes as good As skinny feels And when I look in the mirror All I feel is anger He tells me I'm  beautiful He tells me that he loves my body But I feel like I'm being told a liars tale Like his liking of my appearance is nothing more than an Aesop's Fabel With the lesson to never accept flattery And I will always be the frog My insecurities the stones they pelt me with And if they can't hemp themselves Than here I am splayed out like the frog I am on a dissection table Waiting for your scalpels And other picking tools Rip me apart And tell me my flaws So I may love myself Much like you do your own self Through mirrors And cameras Because no amount of corsets or face masks Will make me love myself No ammount of comments from boys just passing by Will make me feel better Because there will always be that person telling me that I will die alone That I'm not pretty enough And that I don't look like her And if there are 100 people telling me not to listen to them And if they are so wrong Than why do their opinions echo so loud?

The Art In Loving Myself
If i told you i needed help would you listen? Or would your silence Echo off the walls. See my life is like a car, Sometimes moving fast And other times so **** slow. If i told you i feel hurt inside would you not just hear but listen to what i said I need someone to care. Im tired of trying to fight alone. Im tired of trying to survive at a table for one. If i told you I cry all over my body And each tear is a knife And they are leaving scars on my flesh, Would you cut me a bandage, Sop up my blood, Or leave me to bleed out. If i told you I was alone and my demons are taunting me would you get me out Or would you keep walking or keep scrolling... Im not begging for attention, But one cannot be expected to be alone and silent like a life long detention. If i told you I was ready to confess everything Come clean from my secrets, Strip myself naked so you could see my imperfections would you care even the slightest bit Or are you so selfish And so ignorant To walk on And leave this person to die. If i told you i was ready to die *would you blame it in cliche, Or believe it and save me from damnation* Its time to think. It could be up to you This isnt just my world, Its yours, too and dont you want to be somebody To someone? I need you. Because all of these "if i told you's* Are becoming *im telling you

If i told you (please read)
A picture paints a thousand words But a single word holds a million meanings Than one day a God made of love decided to create us Spoke a single word And there we were And if He is love Than every uttered syllable And deepening breath would hold a form of love From a hug of a brother To a kiss from a lover And if we were breathed love Doesn't that make us programmed of it Something so familiar yet unknown Amazing and dangerous The joy of some And the death of most A poisonous sting like a bite from a snake Awaiting its victim In the shadows coming from nowhere Love is like that beautiful girl at a mascaraed party Alluring but hidden With a playful smile And teasing fingers A charade of the heart and a game never won A vial trickery Aimed at the soul Striking excitement and fear A keep quiet display Often causing pain Dodging lies And forced feelings It happens in the blink of an eye Or like a soft slow hymn Lulling you to sleep for the last time Arms wrapped around the idea of forever while the morn holds your soon to be cries And if all love is Is broken pieces of a tale told once to many times over Why do we still choose to feel it? Why do we still linger in the smell of a lovers grasp Full knowing it may tear us down We are fools Lost in the idea that love alone can heal us And maybe it can But is it worth the risk to find out?

The Risk of Love
I'm so afraid of what you might think You don't need to know I wish things were different How could you be so ignorant, I think I love you, You could be a constellation But I'll happily kiss you into star dust Time slows down when ever you walk by I want to hold you so close that I could feel your heart beat Your hair smells nice I'm sorry Goodbye I think I love you Please don't go I'm scared How could you not see it I couldn't live with out you I'd die for you Your tearing me to pieces I wouldn't want to hurt you He doesn't deserve you I think I love you I hate him I hate you I love you I'm sorry I love you I'm letting go This hurts so much Goodbye Hello

Things Unspoken
I wonder if, nightmares are from the monsters trying to be free I can sometimes feel them Seeping into my being in my slumber Taking over my frame of mind so that the facets of glass leave me blind to any sign of light in the dark. It's so dark here And I'm fumbling for function like fumbling for the right words and moments of clarity these typewriter lines make incoherent sentences and I but I can't be stop be heard Because nightmare-sleep leaves me a victim And I can't erase it, Can't escape it Backspace doesn't exist in the dreamworld Where reality is a distant memory, Until the blank spaces and missteps Get covered up by white out and wishes of waking up in the morning to a day where there are no monsters hiding behind my eyes I wonder if, nightmares are from the monsters trying to break free They bite at their chains Claw at their prison Fight for what freedom they have as they baptize my mind with the coldness of their poison, Neurotoxin making my nerves go hay wire, Entrapping me in a trance I try to escape Not letting me break from the pain that they inflict on my brain and body Assault and battery convicts stampeding like elephants across my minds eye making me beg for control But the guards aren't in charge of the prison anymore It's so cold here I think monsters use nightmares to break free Because when the sun rises again I'm left with the scars And it's a battle to let them stay behind the facade of, "Everything's alright" Depression presses through the fake smiles and laughs, And stretches the sinews of my hope until they scream, Scream at the world to stop spinning And until I wake up The ash and dust that is my temporary refuge suffocates the hope of my escape from reality And makes my nightmares come true Because when we have nightmares we are prisoners too. It's so lonely here all in my head Where reality is a distant memory, And wishes of waking up in the morning to a day where there are no monsters hiding behind my eyes Dance across my subconscious Like stars in the sky, I wonder what would happen if I let the monsters free, Let them out of their chains Freed them of their cages and let them crawl out of my mouth with the wind of my breathing letting them take flight and disappear in the distance. I wonder if they would come back thinking my mess of a mind is where they belonged or if they would take refuge with the skeletons in my closet and comeback to haunt me. I'll let them out Watch them fly away And go to sleep The damage they left behind is still there But, It's not so dark here anymore...

What is love Such a small yet complex word Holding so much or lil emotion The kind of love So what is Love in dollar signs Patch it up with a price tag Than what's the cost of a broken heart Shattered pieces for a penny's price Not quite a dollar will do Pay a high sum and play doctor Fare for a new heart Stick it in and sew it up A mentality of "High levy paid will make it all better" When are we ever going to learn Money does not fix brokeness

Cost of Love
I want to be inspiring, I want to love and let go of the past, But I can never do that if I keep a grudge the size of a mountain burried deep in my chest, Waiting to come out, I act like it doesn't bother me now, But in reality, The sad truth about myself is that, I want them to feel what its like, To wanna rip their own hearts out, Like they do to me, And I am ashamed of myself for that reason, I tell myself I'll never be like them, But sometimes I think I'm worse, It's that grudge that I hold in my heart, Waiting to envelope me in pain and bitterness, Like shivering in fear of the dark as a child, Laying in bed waiting for that monster to eat you alive the moment you fall asleep, And sometimes I think I want them to feel that, But, I can’t be that cruel, I can’t put anyone through, What I’ve gone through, 'Cause, I know how it wears on a person, I know the fake smile, Over gritted teeth, I know the demon screaming behind their eyes, Because I’ve felt that, I’ve walked that walk, It’s a hole, You crawl your way out, Than they push you back in, Every time you take a step up the hole just get bigger, And they continue to throw more dirt over you, And bury you deeper, And deeper, A battle of oppression and lonliness, Keeping quiet, But wanting to scream, Wanting to release the way you feel without the risk of standing out, So you find ways to get that release, Singing, Drawing, Running, Me? I write, I write to hold back that real release, To hurt them, Like they hurt me, So I sit back, And in detail, Write it out, Grammatical sentences, Spilled out onto blue lines, Letting out, Pent in Anger, Regret, Sorrow, Whatever it may be, But it keeps me sane, If I even have that, Sanity, My conscious is wearing thin, I'm getting to where, I  don’t care anymore, So if I let out a last breath, Staring at the moon, Would it matter to anyone? Will it make an impact? Or will my last words be a forgotten melody with time, Crashing into crescendos, Lost in the moment we realize, Is any of this worth the risk? I don’t know the answer, And that's why I still try, I wanna meet a boy, And change his life, I wanna meet a girl, And help her see another day, And if that’s what keeps me from letting go, Then God help me hold onto it, With my tightest grip, I refuse to go, As another helpless person, Staring into the sky, I wanna go as someone who, Gave their all, But just fell a lil short
