Chase Anthony
She used her skin as a canvas
She didn't want to be on this planet
Her emotions were void
Her heart was destroyed
If only I knew she had planned it
Its happening again.
This suffocation
I can't breath.

I need help,
I'm drowning in a sea of depression,
and I can't save myself this time.
I've already given up.

Maybe you should just give up on me,
I'm already a lost cause.
I'm worthless.
Useless

Everyone has a talent in this world,
or so they say.
I must be good at nothing,
because I have no talents.

Jealousy is knocking at my door,
I wish I could do half of the things you could,
but I can't.
I'll never be as gifted,
talented,
smart,
or kind as you are.

When I'm gone, everyone will be sad.
For a couple days, at max.
Then, they'll move on,
they'll for forget about me.
So will you.
That's just the circle of life.
Depression is a constant cycle,
once you think you've escaped,
it drags you back,
so it can torture you even longer.

spent; spinning for a poet
& a writer before
how each left.me.hungry
and stuck to-the-floor

because words are what matter
i'd climb inside...if i could
their minds spin that magic
i know better;.... i should

no knack to trade words
with anyone new
it's the writers and poets
who help hear the hues

ah,.. their loving is trag//ic
.... and beautuful, too
cause you can't help, but to hold them
and they.can't.help.wanting it, too...

the minute they let you
into their hearts
you find it's a chamber
with tangled-up parts

and they will love you with all
they've got -to- spare
but there is always some haunting
of ghosts ^hang^ing^ there

they'll hold you so close
while,..they hold you at bay
and they'll crush\you\with\silence
when they've no.thing to. say.

cause they haven't quite left you
but it's headed that way
you're the next empty spector
in their collection today.....

while they're penning you in
they'll leave your heart drained
& alone in your worry
about alloftheir__pain

yet,...i've done it before
and...i'll do it again

I envy
The warm cup of tea
That gets to kiss your lips awake
At the peak of each sunrise

I envy
The sun's expression
That is the light of your smile
At the mid of each day

I envy
Your favorite sweater
That wraps its warm arms around you
At the crisp, opaque measure of each night

I envy
The comforting blanket
That holds you in itself for your security
At the deadline of each moon

I envy
The lucky little things
That get to witness everything you are
Every single diurnal course

there is serenity on the bathroom floor
among the cold tiles
sending the sense of euphoria all throughout your struggling body
the pain
it feels so good
to just sit in the silence
with nothing
but the brisk air
and the cold tiles
sending chills down the spine
that you didn't think you had
because it was so hard to stand
just collapsing on that bathroom floor
with nothing but the readiness and acknowledgment of knowing it's okay to feel the end
because it is inevitable
it comes for all of us
and you may not be scared
but you must be petrified
for when the moment comes
it will feel the same as your body on the cold tiles
and the brisk air will take you away
with the serenity still there
as you enter the gates of wherever the air sweeps you to
Don't know where I was going with this, it just all came to me so fast and I like it a lot.
I myself have spent a lot of time on cold bathroom floors, crying, shaking, asking for forgiveness.
Guess it all just came back to me, in my current state it's probably best for me to lay on my bathroom floor.
It has always helped me and made me feel replenished afterwards.
But the floors are not clean as for my body.
But maybe that's a sign that the filth shall lie with the filth until it all comes clean and the water runs clear.
But it takes a long time for that.
And just lying amongst the tiles is just my laziness showing yet again, I am too caught up in my daydreams to fix my nightmares.

To all the people in love with the moon,
and to those who love the sound of the rain;
this one's for you:
We're one and the same.
Cheers!
