Fat red drops roll down my thigh Fat red drops give me the sweet sting feeling of the high Fat red drops, usually eerie for the eye, Bring me comfort as I sob throughout the night

Red drops

It's okay, it's okay It's nothing, just forget about it It's okay, it's okay It is not even there It's okay, it's okay There is nothing to be scared It's okay, it's okay There is nothing hurting there It's okay, it's okay No sting, no pain, just a little bit of hayne It's okay, it's okay Numb it all until everything fades It's okay, it's okay I'll be gone soon anyway

I had a nice dream the other night. Though, it wasn't the kind of freaky dream where you fly or that you're bigger than Taj Mahal. It was the plain sorta dream - a slice from life - but strangely ordinary life wasn't as chaotic as I know it to be. There were no fights. No depression. No anxiety. No pressure. No overthinking. No sadness. No anger. No despair. No numbness. For the first time in my ********* existence that thing shut up - it was happy, tranquil. It was so peaceful. Nothing hurt and nothing was hurting me. There were no tears, no suffering, no void, no doubts; it was like a dream/paradise. Everything was the way it was before. My heart was full and there was no hushed whispers. No shadows telling me that I am worthless, that those around me just want something and that's their reason to stick around, no jealousy, no hatered. Just pure happiness and bliss. Everyone loved me and didn't take anything away. They didn't go. They stayed with me. They never lied, they never cheated. They didn't use me. Is it a selfish wish? Maybe, nonetheless, the fact that that was the happinest dream I had in weeks - even months - remains. Pity I can't live there. Pity I can't lock myself in my Wonderland and stay with those comforting illusions. My illusions. Everyone says that you are your worst critic but is it really true? She says that I'm always pointing with the sharp tip of my horns but am I really? Is it all truly in my head or is it reality? That this suffocation is due to me? That this unruly things clawing at my chest are merely the doings of their victim? Am I punishing myself or punishing others? Oof, is such a ****** I can't read hearts. It's truly awful that I have to blindly trust and take the leap of faith. Wasn't it in the human nature to learn? Wasn't the hot stove and the burn marks on the hand to serve as a lesson? Why do they require of me to hurt myself? Why do I have to chard my skin to the bone? Am I being unreasonable or melodramatic? Am I really the sole problem of my torture? Why can't I just let go? They make it sound so easy - so simple to up and go. So what if you get hurt? You just forget and move along. Why is it that I can't do the same? Why can't I seem to trust? It's so beaconing and yet so horrid to imagine. I tried forcing it, embraced the thoughts and have a positive outlook. Alas, in the end, it's the same as it always is - I am chocked by the might of the wave. Learn how to cope, learn how to adapt, figure how to take the blow, to hope. But it's hard to train an old dog new tricks, wouldn't you say so? Why is it I do this again? I thought everything was settled, what's wrong with me? I guess...I just want to let it out? Complain? Be greedy and tire those I care for more? I said that everything was alright, that everything is settled - did I dare to lie while looking in their eyes? But I'm sure I felt the lightness, the weight subsiding. The knots lessening their choking hold from around my throat. I don't know what's the matter with me and I'm truly sorry for wasting your time, your words, and your warmth. I think...I've become addicted to this. This 'sharing' wearing it and myself out and where in the end I succumb to a dreamsless sleep. With no figgeting, no toss and turn. No coil around my heart, no anxiety or insecurity in the way. Maybe it's time I take a sleeping pill or something, quell my mind. Maybe it's time I take drastic measures towards this. Maybe I'll feel more or less at ease. Since, taking away my life proves too much for a coward like me. Positive vibes, one said. I ask myself if they truly thought it or marely took pity. Truly they must be talking about the wrong gal. When I see myself, I don't see a happy kid. I don't see someone fun or loving or kind or brave - I see a shadow with hollowed eyes, sharp teeth and bloodstained claws next to the corpse of the bundle of sunshine. The riped fruit who made up tales and drew at the wall. The biggest grin and the shiniest of eyes. Carefree, never wishing to hurt a fly. I miss her so much. I miss her positively. I miss her genuine smile. I miss her comfort and her kindness, her wild side. I miss my little fawn. I miss my light. Why didn't I listen to her while she begged for her life? Why didn't I heed her advice? Why did I dig my claws and teared her appart with the lame excuse "This is for the better."? It was my job to protect and guide her, not extinguish her flame. It was my duty to look after her, to shield her from the bad. It is I, who was the scar bearer, the soldier who must die. Instead I was her doom, even if it's painful to admit and look at it the eye. I've become just like the monster we so fear. The beast that made her hide behind me, to seek my presence. I was the one to ruin and **** her. I let the shadows beat her. I yelled, cussed, and spat while cracking my whip - ushering her to countiue build. Now that she's gone, just a memory within the foam, I am being slowly consumеd by them. No matter how much I seek her, scream at the winds, she won't come. She won't grace me with her rays. She won't ever sweetly say my name. But, in spite of that, I wish I could see her again...

Stuff the feeling down your throat Put the mask back on Wipe the pathetic tears Push back the next sorrows to come

Here we go again In the same hole where my battles began The arena where I bleed, and bruise, and faint Where the shadows pick and split my flesh day by day I don't think I have much longer to live - to feel the drive I can barely hold my weapon straight and fight I've become such a miserable sight I can no longer come back to the high I can no longer get by It's like there's a tide, great and strong I tried to break to the surface for so long To see through the tricky fog Whisper the words of reassurance so I can never forget their warmth or their song Still, I suffocate with all of the load I am trusted back under the foam My hands are beaten and raw Fingers fractured, my nails fall I am no longer their little fawn The tears, the cheers, the kisses, the enticing words - I no longer feel their want I don't have enough patience nor the strength to wait for another day I shake, terrified yet beckoned to the blade My string beginning to fade Their voices are faint The choice is laid The real question is do I have the guts to persuade? I'm scared and it hurts And you know how much I loathe pain It juts - I feel like there's not much to gain Maybe it's time I let them take the rein God I'm such a mess Too dumb to play a simple game of chess Always the one to make a fuss And always first to hurt someone and deprive them of must Someone once said, "Liers and deceivers fear the pointed ends of their spear." Is that why it's my greatest fear? Or am I just making up it all again? If that is so, why contemplate the attempt? Why the need for marred skin and blood? Why imagining suffocation from the flood? Why looking at the pills resting in the nook of the drawer? Is death lenient towards people like me? Or does it scoff at the ignorance, the audacity, the weakness of their spirit - that I don't know Maybe I am indeed selfish Maybe I am an attention-seeking white liver But I can't take in the fever And that friend, is the toxic mind of a nonbeliever

The toxic mind of a nonbeliever

Here we go again In the same hole where my battles began The arena where I bleed, and bruise, and faint Where the shadows pick and split my flesh day by day I don't think I have much longer to live - to feel the drive I can barely hold my weapon straight and fight I've become such a miserable sight I can no longer come back to the high I can no longer get by It's like there's a tide, great and strong I tried to break to the surface for so long To see through the tricky fog Whisper the words of reassurance so I can never forget their warmth or their song Still, I suffocate with all of the load I am trusted back under the foam My hands are beaten and raw Fingers fractured, my nails fall I am no longer their little fawn The tears, the cheers, the kisses, the enticing words - I no longer feel their want I don't have enough patience nor the strength to wait for another day I shake, terrified yet beckoned to the blade My string beginning to fade Their voices are faint The choice is laid The real question is do I have the guts to persuade?

The same blood courses through our veins We can both feel pain and love We mourn We laugh We pray We believe We can be slayed by a blade Aren't we all the just the same?
