Non-binary/Still in IKEA day 627 Hello, I'm going to put a trigger warning for my poems here: Trigger Warning! -- / I am in no way good at writing poetry, but I try -- / Stay alive -- / BLM
I'm scared you'll do something I'm scared it's my fault because I am a coward and you are not that scares me a lot you don't want to be your dad but you don't see I already am my dad because he was my hero but he's not a good person I'm scared you will do something and I think I know why it's because of me and all that I did but if you look closer I'm the only one that's bad You told me you'd be fine but it's kind of selfish to leave the planet and not care what it does to me you think I'd be better it would destroy me I'll talk you down I know it's not your fault

Hopeless
We hexed the moon We burned downtown We killed Carlos We started a plague We started riots We almost started a 3rd war We protested and got shot We killed our year We said it would be better We lied and broke it We tried and failed it And now I'm sick of resentment But we can improve it

2020 (it's been a while but here I go)
I want to improve I wish I was better please, someone, help me understand my pain and suffering please send a doctor I am from perfectionists but they haven't fixed me and I'm sad that I'm not ok and it's not ok that I'm sad I just want to feel something when I can only feel nothing why does Salem haunt me why do witches follow me and ghosts love me I just want to feel safe I just want to feel perfect

Confessions
They can separate themselves from their demons I can’t The demons I carry around have been my best friends for so long, I can’t tell the difference from them, And me They know when a thought is being placed there from something non-human I don’t They talk so much it pours out my mouth The demons say they love me, So Me, being desperate for love Accept them Then I follow their rules - eat little- sleep none- cry always- tears never And so many more I’m no longer self-regulated because I'm no longer myself They swallowed me Since I can’t tell the difference between us, I willingly gave myself up Traded myself For a monster That only brings others down, or drags me down, to lift others higher They have become me They are me There Isn't a distinction anymore There isn’t a red font to tell me what ideas to avoid Because I don’t avoid any ideas at all Nothing is off-limits, they tell me if I see a thought, Take it No matter who it hurts, especially if it hurts me, if you think it, you can do it! They tell me You only live once So they make it hell, but only to prepare me for what’s to come, They’ve convinced me they only have my best interest in mind, I let them make walls To protect me

Why I don't type in red
Standing on a pedestal Bleeding on a stage Colored insides for the aesthetic Beautiful gore Enhancing your beauty with gore Showing other people my bones An idea of perfection being nothing but blood and bone I lay here and laugh At the body, i’ve destroyed At the skin i've hurt And the insides i've boiled The commercials show the ideal size So the people that tell me The one that I killed The one that I saved Whoever would stop me From crumbling bones And melting eyes Limbs are falling off and getting lost But i'm the idea of pretty With the gore falling away

Human gore model
Two days ago, I went to bed With more than average noise in my head It hurt and I cried Hurt so much that I died The only one that could save me Was miles away from me Since then, the world sped up Goes too fast for my lungs So they just gave up I am decaying at home In front of my mother I am melting so slow In front of my brother I am nothing but bone In front of my other

i never really woke up yesterday
No one calls me smart They all check my grades Mockery of the success Shameful of the less Trophy for being a disappointment I try my hardest Just for the attention The approval Is what keeps me going I want an A But I’m labeled with a B, C, D, or F The attention is all wrong The ridicule Not reward Nothing feels retained I want a place to post To show I’m more To feel seen and liked To see mean and nice To share what I do with a brush What I can do with facepaint See others Share songs But it's about **** time That they see it isn't The showing to others That ensured my demise The help they would give me The eyes and the ears To feel seen and heard The spotlight again It will shine on my face As if everyone cared As if I wasn't so scared And I would feel cured But the labels I gain Seem to be retained Without a constraint Of worry and pain

A+ for a Failing Grade
Empty and shaking I sound insane But I really am So I guess it's ok Cries turn to laughs Cries for humor Laughs for help Wring out the arms for blood And the eyes for lies Pooling on the floor Seeping through the tiles Karma’s a ***** But I’ll do you one better Look you in the eyes And I twist the weapon Not for the fun For the revenge On all those that scared me On all those who helped me Laugh out the last of my guts Cry out my lungs Always the same Repeating sensations Fleeting rotations Murderous flirtations Mourning probations But it's worth the pain And the fear And the guilt For the ties and knots They clog up my throat To appear in my windpipe And disappear in my scars Hold back no words and show no silence

Humorous Minds
I hang up flowers in my room I try and make you smile but I seem to fail You still choke and cry And I’ll laugh and try To hide the pain I gave you my hoodie And many notes and things I thought you would like Remind you of me But it’s nothing compared to laughing Numbing myself The pain becomes too much my body needs a pause Cough up blood so I don't bleed anymore It all will end I tried and failed What is left for me other than dissolving my emotions Or the ones that remain Hope and pray to an all-seeing eye Beg and wish for mercy on the ones you love There’s none left They showed you true pain You must return the torture If only they had seen it before it was a wreck
