These poems come from my journal, converted from crappy handwriting.
A year ago today I said I couldn't make it through - another year, to make it to 22. And now that I am here another year in what have I got to loose? Nothing except - another year just a tad more blue. I'm always trapped in my head, laying alone in my bed. I want to see the brighter things through - I did it so far, I've made it to 22! As uneasy as this may be I swear to you I will make it to 23 so I can see the world through - and maybe with someone new.

I guess it's really true; my pride, my fears, my muse - hopelessly devoted to, I guess I've learned to love you. The darkness has never left me, the shadows come out and tease me. The hurt, the dismay it lingers from the inside of my stomach to my fingers. We are so intimate, dismay and I. The darkness knows all my fears, my secrets, and why I'm so shy. It makes me feel safe in bed, alone, but yet makes me scream out cries when reality is read on my phone. I hate my despair, I hate the dark, but I've learned to love it from the start.

I taste like a daydream but I have the devil in my kiss. You're wrapped with infatuation, I'm spreading poison just past your lips. You can do your worst there's no hurting me. Get out all your anger and then get on and leave. I look like a fairy tail but I have darkness surrounding my soul. My intentions are only to love, but there's no stopping this evil to unfold. Keep your distance for you're not dammed like I, or do your worst and beat me until I die. A soul like mine isn't meant to love. A soul like mine is far too corrupt.

I am becoming at peace with having no peace at all. I am now comfortable with the distortion, the pain, and the dismal. I watch my friends gather and laugh, joke, and play. Part of me wishes that I could be that way. Their positive energy radiates and latches on to me. The time spent with them takes me away and sets me free. I put out only good vibes and smile and hope they can't tell that my time with them is temporary until I escape this hell. Yes, I am becoming at peace with having no peace at all, only because this road is ending soon, but I cherish all the good times that have helped me stall.

My handwriting gives me a headache to read. My mind wanders with memories I can't repeat. So worried about tomorrow, but stuck in the past, that even a single good day doesn't seem to last. No one to love. No one to hold. No one to share secrets and let my fears unfold. There's crime in the streets, there's past pain in these sheets, there are scars a lot deeper than me. I sing to escape, I take what I need for the pain, and I wait out my days. And just like that, I fade away.

The end of spring is here it's my favorite time of the year. The ocean's as cold as my last lovers heart, the sand feels the same - I suppose - as any beach does. The view is breathtaking even watching it alone. The sunset is so captivating, a sight I had never known. I take in all it is and as no more than to watch the sunset with you. One day - at least, one day real soon.

5/31/15, for my sister
The sun is rising so I should be sleeping. The dark is fading, and I'm still breathing. It's almost over- these nights that I fear. My own path is what I make, what I steer. With the company of others I still go to bed alone, for I don't have the strength to pick up the phone. I hate to be alone but I love it so, I love the touch and the feel of a lovers happy glow. So innocent, so pure ending abruptly for the fear of the future. Although it is all a blur I can see clearly now no one is going to have me completely, not in this town. Not in this town, not in this life. My body is tainted, it's the end of my life. The sun is rising I had a good day. I should be sleeping, I should have convinced you to stay.

You smelled of cigarettes and the whiskey you drank but you captivate me with the way you behave. I study your moves like its on an exam, I can see right through that rough exterior no one can understand. You say I don't feel, I could say the same about you. You're so quick to assume when we both know its not true. We are one in the same, two old souls lost our way; lost in each others gaze, but only for the day. I'm your quick escape nothing more, so I apologize sincerely for leaving all my feelings at the door.

My problem lied not in me looking for the good in everyone- but that there was nothing good in you to see. Three years of my life wasted, two more to get over you indefinitely . For all this time has past, and yet the past it still haunts. For all this time it was your ego, your pride that I fought. I can say now that I'm not mad at you anymore. I can say now that I don't feel like a ***** But I'll never admit that the bruises are still sore.

A pencil is as permanent as your love was for me. Can't find real love, I've traveled sea to sea. But it's real beauty, if you think about it real hard- for atleast I've known how loneliness feels from the start. A pencil is as permanent as my time is with you, I've never heard haunting repeated words spoken so true. I'll hold off and wait for the boy that will stay. I'll hold off and wait for the one who makes all my terrifying thoughts fade.
