I sometimes wonder
Do birds ever get depressed,
as they fly so free?
They can't laugh at funny jokes.
Their kids fly away too soon.
Hate can be found in the heart
And can fill the mind
The hate will tear you apart
Especially if you let it define
Wrote when I was thirteen… found it in my journal
A glance in the sky
The stars mockingly twinkle,
as I make a wish.
What’s a heartsick girl to do?  
Maybe you don’t believe in me
Maybe you don’t believe in you
I got enough faith for both of us two
I used to love the sun on my skin
warming me from the outside in
then an aberration change happened
now it torments me
it rays bury deep
making me wobbly
and dizzy
making me tired
and nauseous
making my heart pound
and my mind into mush
the heat is my kryptonite
slowly draining me
once I'm in its grasp
aberration: a departure from what is normal, usual, or expected, typically one that is unwelcome
"you need me" the blade says
"I''ll make you feel good
just let me kiss your skin"
the blade says
last year I might have given in
or at least considered it's offer
I had this pain so heavy in my heart
weighing me down
it seemed like the only option
I turn my head away
and ignore the blade's plea
I will not break
I will not give in
my pain is no longer
I am free from it's chains
the shackles have broken off
my skin holds no wounds
they're not needed any longer
I'm 200 days clean from self harm!! I am so proud of myself! I am excited
I think I need to write pages of malarkey
all jumbled up and confusing
everything in my brain onto paper
maybe this will cure my writers block
let the words come out garbled
and chaotic
until they flow out steadily
malarkey: meaningless talk; nonsense
I can still stand
But won't stand still for hatred
That's just my posture.
