16/GF/Somewhere ) How do people continue to live? I've always wondered and known the answer, yet it eludes me like the stars.
I’m a mess Everything we hate about me Is a cruel sick DNA guarantee I’m fighting Fighting to breathe Fighting to be still Fighting to stay Fighting my own demons I’m so **** tired I can’t do this anymore I don’t wanna be here I don’t wanna live I want to die I’m starting to truly give up

****
they walk around their mind loud they scream in silence but no one hears them can you see their eyes the spark is gone cruel words slip down their tongue dripping from their throat with unknown malice intentions are mixed wonky in their head blinding the truth and piercing their lungs with the sharpness of the purity

school is ending and i am relieved because no more school means no more stress means no more failure means no more disappointment i finally have a chance to look inside myself and my soul to look inside my mind and body to find what is wrong and pick it out like the parasite it is but can i truly get rid of the parasite when the parasite is all of me?

huh
I wish to speak, but the words Are locked behind my teeth My skin prickles with the need To crawl out from my skin The urge to slice my own skin Has squirmed its way back My mind knows it's not good It knows that I'm not good But my heart is too tired to care I smile at others with love Thinking of how they wouldn't miss me Of how if I just vanished Everyone else would manage She keeps me tethered She reminds me that without me She might go unsteady So I withstand the suffering All for her, because I love her Because I love my mother More than I could even Begin to love anything Or anyone else in the multiverse

Unsteady
Would you hate me If I told you I missed you I want your hands On my skin I want my hands In your hair I want your heartbeat Synced with mine I want to kiss The freckles on your skin I want you To be mine Would you hate me If I told you Because I hate myself For wanting to tell you For wanting you

Certainly
Their fingertips are stained With the blood from their wrists Their teeth are yellow From the days they couldn't get up To brush their teeth Their thighs are scarred From the nights things got too heavy Their mind is plagued With the voices that whisper And their body is numb From the coldness of those around them

We are over I never played with your feelings I truly loved you I think I still do But I cannot love a child forever Because I am not a child My mind is drained From taking care of you I want to be a lover Not another's mother I'm sorry That I chose to be selfish In one area of my life When I let people walk all over me In all others I'm sorry That I couldn't handle it That I have too much And I couldn't handle you But now that we're over I realize it's a good thing You lied You were manipulative Still are Playing the victim Even though you aren't You pretend as if You can do no wrong All while belittling yourself In front of others So they'll lift you up Am I sorry I loved you? No Did I ever lie about loving you? Never But am I glad we're over? Yes Because I made the right decision for me Because for once I refused to sacrifice myself So someone else could be happy

Untitled
The spaces between my ribs The hollow of my throat The tips of my fingers The warmth of my bones Is where the ache learned to rest The ache of touching another Phantom lips against my neck The ghost of your hands on my sides The lingering softness of your skin The ache learned to rest In my body, mind, and soul

The Ache
I cannot breath My eyes sting with tears My lungs feel too small The lump in my throat Hurts My skin prickles With the thought Of touching another My mind is loud Like a circus And I am the court jester A bird flits around My chest It’s wings beating Against my ribs Caged and afraid Panic sits low In my chest I can’t seem to focus My skin feels itchy Like something Is crawling Over my bones Swimming Through my veins And infecting my heart I can hear everything My voice is steady Despite my insides Screaming to get out I cannot breathe Someone help me breathe
