17/M/no where i write
i want to die and i thought of cutting my hand but i was too afraid of the blood and making a mess around me i thought of strangling on the fan but i was too afraid of it failing and worsening my back pain i thought of drowning in the lake but i was too afraid of the water and my parched lips which would **** up most of it i thought of falling in front of a car but i was too afraid that the driver would stop and mock my action i thought of poisoning my own food but i was too afraid that the rats would eat the leftover and die with me i thought of committing a ****** but i was too afraid the sentence would be life instead of death but i want to die

i want to die
as i sit at the station hearing the second delay next to the elevated tracks i see a huge tree swaying back and forth the sun bounces of the leaves making them shine like diamond on a lovers neck it sways and shines ruminating the rustling leaves i thank my short sighted eyes without which i would just see a tree

billie on the radio
Tears roll down my eyes when I’m happy — so much joy I can’t contain. Little waterfalls, every drop filled with joy, and yet no one is bothered. The same innocent tears roll down my eyes; along with them, they carry the faintest ache of pain. The world refused joy, chose mockery. The same world acknowledges these tears — never embracing them, always criticizing.

Her hair’s sometimes straight, but often they are curly too. I don’t know if it’s natural, or a perm — doesn’t matter, for I’m always curled up in her mystery, and my eyes move straight towards her.

a gust of wind blows, with it takes away the light from my candle. suddenly, i’m thrown into an abyss of darkness that exists in my mind during day, and it feels darker than most nights. slowly, thoughts creep into my mind, like the wind making my body shiver. i wrap myself in warmer rugs, but these thoughts seem endless— some concerning this futile life, and the remorse that follows like a shadow. but, unable to make out in this darkness, feels like my life is like a candle, but with no fire on the top. the future’s getting darker, as these thoughts flow seamlessly, the sound of silence is deafening. currently, just remorse and regret flows through my mind, reminding me of all the lost time. and i fell into this abyss of darkness— still falling, without a ray of sunshine.

abyss of darkness
golden flowers on her dress
 like stars in the night sky 
bringing comfort to distant eyes

why?
oh these mirrors lie they give me false hope and I fly people around me always judge I don’t know why they have this grudge among hair too short, nose too long her compliment felt like a song my stupid heart mistook it for love now I carry my broken heart in a glove before I was just an ugly person now am still ugly but an unloved version oh these mirrors never lied am realising this after everything died I should have accepted me first even though I was the worst mirrors never lied And now I have died

mirrors
Sleepless nights Never ending thoughts All of my life lost Reminding time never stops Heart full of love Mind filled with pain Too late now to express All of it goes in vain Unsent letters, Lay by my side Once filled with love Now fills me with pain To get out of this, I can't find a way Starts, I see in the sky Shining even when it's dark Telling me it's fine To be better next time 

I am shining too
 I reply
 no one sees me shining 
in these vast skies The room is dark and cold Slowly sleep unfolds To wake up in the morning again With nothing to gain
