I write poems about the thoughts and I draw flowers from the scars I turn bottles into vases I call this damage art I send the feelings to the hole where used to lay my  heart so I can pretend me and my "problems" are a world apart I know these thoughts do not rhyme and on my skin, the scars will lie i know to hold all these bottles is not wanting to say goodbye i know this damage is real but then so is this art so I will continue to write as it tears me apart

this damage is not art
if there came a day where you packed all your emotional baggage and left I’m not quite sure what I would do I would not sit and cry for I do not cry and I cannot sit still I would not listen to sad songs I would listen to loud  metal rock in a hope to drown out the final words that past your lips to me and every other word you have said to me I would not watch films or read books I would lie on my bed trying to ignore the tea stains and the blankets we curled up underneath I would stare at the ceiling trying so hard to block every part of you from my mind I would never drink tea from the cup you gifted me I would never read Harry Potter again after all the long talks about our shared favourite series unless I was sad about all the moments we would never share then I would sit and drink tea  hoping it would drown me I would read Harry Potter watch the films and glance at fan art simultaneously i would listen to every sad song that ever reminded me of you i would sit unmoving for days tears of tea running down my face i would not be able to not think of you over time this may change but i would always have a scar to remind me of the old wounds time never can’t heal and i will always hope that you would heal them one day

what i would do with out you
I am so past wishing for death And I am so past blaming others for my wish to not exist I turned to the very things that give life I thank the trees and ask them why they ever decided that they should waste there oxygen on me Then I thank the sun for giving me warmth then I ask why didn’t you give me a little bit more so I could slowly burn Then I thank the soil for giving me food and ask why out of all the leaves and plants I have eaten were none of them poisonous Then I thank the stars for reminding me that you could be such a facinating scincetific design and people still point at you and make shapes in the sky Then I thank my self and ask why were you so weak all the other times let’s make one a success although you can only succeed once

a successful good bye
it's a powerful drug you can’t live without it from the second it touches your lips to the moment you die every second you need it every breath you crave it every day you rely on it and it's strange just a few minutes without it your body starts shutting down your mind stops wandering your limbs stop twitching your eyes stop seeing your ears stop hearing your lips stop moving you stop and you don’t start again it's a curious world we are given the very thing that will **** us no matter what the drug made for a controlled death oxygen when they say its time to die you die no more fresh air enjoy the last taste of addiction the side effect of life is officially gone

you would run you would run fast and away from me if I ever told you how I go to sleep each night imagining your laying in my arms your leg slipped between mine our feet sticking out the end of the blanket with your socks matching and mine, not even the same size you would run you would run so fast and away from me if I ever told you how I wake up each morning imagining it is your hand that stretches out of the warmth of our embrace to face the coldness of my room to turn off the alarm before burying your face into my arm saying just five more minutes you would run you would run so fast and so far away if I told you that the only reason I chose to live is so i do not disappoint you that my only motivation is you which makes it so much worse when I sit there in late nights a bade in one hand and the other over my mouth tears and silent screams escaping as i realise this ends in one of two ways with death after a long and happy life or death when you realise I am a dead soul trying not to lie and cheat so run, run now and run fast for I am a time bomb but I shall throw myself away so I do not take you with me

you would run
it makes me wonder when will you see me sitting here blood on my hands scars on my legs   tears running down my face food I have not eaten in days stacked in the corner my phone is dead oh how I envy it my under eyes are dark from sleepless nights my hands tremble my eyes stare blankly my very being is a black box so many secrets hidden inside but no way to get in I guess if I tell you I’m ok and wash dishes you will never see the broken pens and pencils that write letters of goodbye in the evening then poems of struggle at dusk then notes of petty inspiration when the next day begins you just see the pens that write average homework assessments and the mouth that comes up with excuses rather than the silent screams you see the girl who goes to school and lays around if only you could see every thought in my head they never stop running around

thoughts
isn't it funny how often people say they're there for you when they are not there when your arms and legs are running red when the breath in your lungs won't move when  you shake for the warmth of arms wrapped around you when you spend four hours with a length of rope when you are hiding in the depths of your mind When you need people they’re not there But maybe that’s good because they are not the people you need you need someone that understands who could possibly understand

understand
she skipped along she twirled and spun she did not know what she had done she lived a life full of joy she had never owned a single toy she made a mistake she did not know what it would take she tried to fix it but she had little wit and the cost of stupidity was more than her validity it was her life  and soul and it now lies in a 6ft deep hole with the rest of her parts and all that remained was her heart she left it with the girl in her own hands and she let it get washed away among the sands

she skipped
I used to say id give a world and a half to make others laugh now I'd give every moment of joy to go back to my childhood room and play with my favourite toy I'd give every moment I could ever regret to go back to not grow up just yet I'd give every friend I’ve ever had to sit and play monopoly with my dad I'd give every hope and dream of rich and success to be the little space pirate ninja in a tinker bell dress I'd give my soul to make my family whole so that we could sit down and play board games until somebody throws in the towel I'd give my lively hood for a second chance at childhood I'd give my life to see the smiles I never get to see I'd give everything to just be me or at least the me I wanted to be

what I'd give for childhood
There is no way out there is no second chance There is no innocent child ready to dance There is a fight there is a death There is a girl ready for her final breath There is a tear running down a face There is a walk at an unsteady pace There is a sadness that causes uncontrollable madness There is a day that they call the end There is a foe once a friend There is a story That ends in indescribable glory There is a chapter they say is the start There is a boy who gave his heart There is a stranger killed for the cause There is a queen showing her flaws There is a knight fleeing in cowardice There is a king finally powerless There is a princess who saved herself There is a bottle fallen from a shelf There is a choice remembered for a lifetime There is a friend at the end of there line There is a pauper climbing the ladder There is a servant turning madder There is a dragon wanting a life There is a baker without a wife There is a witch who did not burn There is an executioner who was given there turn There is a hero for once defeated There is a villain who never cheated There is a sidekick learning at last There is a spell that was unexpectedly cast There is a loss never to be forgotten There is a final meal left to rotten There is a nemesis left misunderstood There is a toddler robbed of its childhood There is a parent hated for mistakes There is a family that’s hole still aches There is a feud based on a gamble There is a scratch caused by a bramble There is a legend based on their existence There is a village that showed there persistence There is a country fighting for what’s right   There is a day that didn’t end in night There is a lesson that should be remembered There is a love that cannot be measured
