lilly-o
My fingers itch My palms sweat Salivia slithers And slides down My throat My legs twitch As your hands hover Over my love handles Your skin Caresses carelessly And I clench my hands My stomach stays still Empty from the epitome of Butterflies that should Exist there Instead my brain urges The idea Maybe the nagging numbness that never Negotiates will navigate somewhere else Maybe I might feel funny, fantastic, Or furious Your hands trace circles On my ******* bringing a trail Of goose bumps Yet I feel nothing The numbness never seems To end

Numb
Anxiety is a monster Inside my mind Its claws scrape my skin. It tongue traces my Clock and rewinds Its red eyes glow When I grin Makes me wonder Who I am? When it’s angry I aspire to change My body vibrates Like a crashing wave. My nails Nip and pick My head spins My hands are in my hair Pulling from the stems. Anxiety you are a beast You live inside me Burrowing deep enough that You are a part of me You are the roots and I am the tree.

The silent monster
You make me cry You make me laugh You make me want To give you a chance My insides shake My palms sweat My stomach aches And my mouth rants I try to collect my thoughts But I can’t Because deep inside You understand My laughs, smiles, hopes And dreams You hold me when I want to scream And stay with me Until I fall asleep You kiss my cheeks When tears run down You laugh with me When we fool around I really hope you remember me Because you were the one To let my butterflies Free

The second
My eyes are closed My snores take up the air Your hand slides up my Thigh and your fingers Run through my hair My eyes stay shut And your hands roam My cries stay silent As you are in my room Your hands venture deeper Than any had gone My eyes watered and I tried to yawn My cry turned to a sob As I realized I could not Tell my mom As I looked in the mirror That next day I realized bad things Seemed to always come my way My eyes welled with tears And I pulled out my hair Screaming but still Knowing no one Really cared.

Abuse
I am a woman Who once was young Before my phone wrung Before my long days begun I woke up with a smile That lasted a while My cheeks would sting I was not worrying about any ring The only thing was Half the time it was only me.

Expectations
You make me smile And my heart ache In your presence My hands quickly begin To shake My skin secretes A lot of sweat My heart thuds and starts hammering Against my chest I hear the hallowing Of my lungs as I take my last Breath That you borrowed because You deserved much less Grasping my chest realizing my Mistake I still have enough air to whisper Your name.

Falling in like
I hear her scream I hear her tiny footsteps in the Hallway Her shallow breathing speeds up my heart She is an empty shell of the person I knew Her soft skin that used to soothe me is abused by her confusion Her mumbles fill the air and her eyes are an empty abyss Day after day living with an empty shell She is nothing but a shell I spend day after day Searching for her My mom Pill after pill Doctors’ appointments left and right Until I eventually found her With tears in my eyes I found her and realized I never wanted to lose her again

Losing your mind
My skin Crawls Crunching and cracking My fingers relieve The reoccurring itch I cant Scratch My hair is picked And pulled in Frustration All I can hear Is the humming Of my own Paranoia Getting louder and Louder like Cicadas in the Trees where the warm breeze blows past Sending a sweat Down my Spine and Droplets pouring Down my pretty Face The heat is Hilarious So many complain about The crazy hot Days downing us in Presperation But this Is the First thing I have Felt in weeks.

Break down
Spots that are scattered On your skin Your shoulders are home To alot of them My lingering hands Loves them so The suns warmth Allows them to show
