Scream Poem Rant
Ciara Nov 2015
YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME AND RUINED MY INNOCENCE,
YOU COULDN'T SEE THROUGH YOUR ******* DRUNKENNESS
YOU RUINED MY LIFE AND MY FAMILY,
LOOK AT ALL THAT YOU ******* DID TO ME,
AND YOU'VE GOT THE AUDACITY
TO MESSAGE ME, "Hey"?
YOUR FIANCÉ WAS MY SISTER, AND YOU LURED ME IN AND I ****** IT ALL UP
AND NOW ALL I DO IS MISS HER
YOU HAVE A BABY WITH HER BUT ALL YOU COULD THINK ABOUT WAS GETTING INTO A GIRL'S PANTS WHO IS TEN YEARS YOUNGER THAN YOU?
WHERE THE **** ARE YOUR MORALS, YOUR VALUES, YOUR GUILT?
OR DID IT JUST ALL DISH OUT ON ME?
CAUSE I'VE NEVER FELT SO ******* EMPTY, SO WORTHLESS, SO *****, PLAGUED.
HOW THE **** COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME? TO MY SISTER? TO MY BABY ******* NIECE WHO I'M NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO HOLD ANYMORE. EVERYONE SAYS I'M THE ONE TO BLAME
BUT HOW? ALL I DID WAS EXIST

AND MY DAD TOLD ME, "You could have said no" BUT YOU COULD HAVE NOT COME ONTO ME IN THE FIRST ******* PLACE. THIS ISN'T ALL MY FAULT, AND YOU DENY IT BUT THE PROOF IS IN MY RAGGED SOUL AND CRUSHED INNOCENCE, THE DISTRUST OF ANY MAN WHO TRIES TO TOUCH ME

LOOK AT WHAT YOU ******* *DID TO ME

Shut up.
Ciara May 2014
all you do is bring me down.
You never support me, encourage me, compliment me.
You tell me I'm a failure, you look at me with disgust,
you treat me like ****,
you expect too much of me.
You shut me down.
You tell me I'll never be good enough, that I'll never amount to anything, and then you wonder why I'm so ******* depressed.
I try my best, but that's never good enough. I'll never be good enough for you!
You only look at my failures, not my accomplishments.
You're ruining me.

You'll never be proud of me.
All I want is your approval,
yet I get nothing, not in the slightest.

I know I **** up a lot.
I forget things.
I make mistakes.
I'm a mess.
But that doesn't mean you have to yell and scream because of every choice I make. You don't have to criticize every single thing I do, every word I say, every little piece of who I am.

I don't know why you hate me so ******* much,
but I'm done. I'm ******* finished with you.

If you don't like who I am, who I choose to be, just because it doesn't fit your criteria,
then you can pack your ****,
and
                get
                           the
                                      ****
                                                 **out.
Good riddance, you ******* ****.

Giving in.
Ciara Mar 2014
The impulses of self destruction-
they batter at your windows,
breaking down the walls you've built
Invading every crevice of your mind,
spilling ideas you cannot help but to consider,
whispering hurtful words,
adding to the pain that
motivates you to hurt yourself.
It gets so bad, you consider everything you can, even the simplest,
as long as it is destructive.
Whether it be cutting yourself to the core,
giving yourself third degree burns,
swallowing seventeen-too-many sleeping pills,
sitting in front of the mirror torturing yourself,
or just lying there in your own thoughts
until they become unbearable,
and you give in to the pressure,
and the cycle continues.

Just "fun"
Ciara Sep 2014
You claim that the reason you kissed me
was supposed to be "fun"--
for the both of us

And ****, it was fun

until I fell in love

and you say it's "just fun"
I say, it's just blood

seeping through the bandage.

I didn't want to wash your taste from my mouth

I didn't want to rinse your kisses off of my skin

I didn't want to relapse,

                       *but I gave in.

Ciara Nov 2015
WHY THE **** AM I MISSING YOU,
WISHING I WAS KISSING YOU?
MISSING YOUR FACE AND FEELING THE EMPTY SPACE
YOU LEFT IN MY CHEST
MY MIND WON'T GIVE IT A REST

YOU'RE IN MICHIGAN AND I'M STUCK HERE, DREAMING OF IF YOU'LL EVER KISS ME AGAIN

Do you ever just...
Ciara May 2014
Do you ever just want to **** yourself?
No letter, no explanation, no reasons why. Just because.
Do you ever just want to commit suicide?
Staying up late, rewriting the intricacies of your mind, planning everything, thinking everything through, apologizing for plaguing your family and friend's lives, yet doing a "kind deed" and getting rid of yourself so they don't have to.
Do you ever just want to be loved?
To be kissed and held and spoken to with such romantic intent, to be kissed and touched with an immense, undying passion. To feel important to someone. To have someone make up the hatred you hold within yourself with the love they expel for you. To be wanted, needed. To love with a love that is more than love.
Do you ever just want to love someone?
To kiss them all over, hold their hand, make them smile, and laugh. To hold them, steal away their sadness and insecurities. To be cute with them and write them love notes and poetry and tell them how much they mean to you. To make them feel wanted, important, needed. To make yourself feel like you have a purpose; loving them. Endlessly loving them.
Do you ever just want to break down?
To just cry out all the things you have held inside, for god knows how long? To just scream, yet be silent. To release the anguish, the pain, the hatred, the longing, the hopelessness, the emotions, everything. To get rid of the damaging thoughts. To feel something, anything; but still you want to feel nothing. To sob your **** heart out. To grasp onto something, someone, so very tightly, your wrists and knuckles turn white and ache. To punch everything and anything in your way.
Do you ever just want to cut yourself?
To dig so very deeply. To open your skin and watch the ebb and flow of the smooth crimson. To feel the relief. To feel something other than numb. To feel numb. To feel the pinch and you dig deeper into your skin, and muscle, all your precious tissues- ruined. Slashed. Gashed. To feel the delightful pleasure it brings you. To bleed until there is nothing left in your veins.
Do you ever just want to be happy?
To smile, and laugh, and not worry constantly. To enjoy life. To be alive. To be content. To sing, and dance, and feel complete. To feel whole, and worthy. To have motivation, to press on. To do everything you want. To find beauty in the simplest of things. To be happy with yourself. To not feel like a failure. To feel important. To feel okay.  To not be depressed. To love and be loved in return.
Do you ever just want to be able to love yourself?
To love your flaws. Your curves. Your skin. Your hair. Your teeth. Your laugh. The way you pronounce certain words. The way you stutter sometimes. The way you blush. The sparkle in your eyes when you speak about something you feel for passionately. To be happy with yourself. To be able to find good in all your qualities.
Do you ever just want to prove everyone wrong? (including yourself)
To be successful. To not fail. To not give up. To make good choices. To think before you act. To think before you speak. To be a good influence. To be motivated. To stop hating yourself. To prove your worth. To show them all they were ******* wrong.  To be a leader. To be fearless. To be feared. To be strong. To not **** yourself. To improve yourself. To be yourself.

Please don't.
Ciara Apr 2014
If you don't really love me,
don't  say you do.
If you won't be there for me,
don't say you will.
If you'll end up leaving me,
Don't tell me you "never will".
If you don't care about me,
don't say you do.
Don't feed me empty promises.
Don't tell me you'll always love me,
because you and I both know you won't.
Don't tell me you're in love with me,
you won't mean it. Ever.
Don't tell me you need me,
because no one needs me.
When I get broken up with, and I ask why I can't be with someone stable,
please  don't suggest us dating, because you and I both know **** well all you will do is leave and I will hurt, all over again.
Please, don't tell sad girls they are pretty until you have seen the cuts and scars that litter their bodies, don't say you will always love them, and please don't cause them more pain.

Snake in the sheets.
Ciara Feb 2017
Three weeks ago you were saying "you're so amazing, I can't wait to be your boyfriend"
After our first date you said "I think we should wait to be in an actual relationship, get to know each other better"
But all you've gotten to know about me is my body
Will you ever ******* want me?
Why am I not good enough for love?

BUT SOMEHOW, I STILL FIND MYSELF THINKING ABOUT YOU, DREAMING ABOUT YOU, WAKING UP IN TEARS. WONDERING IF AND WHEN YOU'LL COME AROUND.
PART OF ME WANTS YOU HERE. CAUSE MY BED FEELS HALF EMPTY, NOT HALF FULL.
I want to go back to those nights, when things were simpler.

THAT NIGHT REPLAYS OVER AND OVER IN MY HEAD
I FELL VICTIM, PREY IN YOUR BED
WRAPPED IN LUST AND ECSTACY,
CRAVING LOVE AND AFFECTION
BUT IS THIS ENOUGH?
I CAN'T STAND THE THOUGHT OF YOU WITH SOMEONE ELSE
YOU SAID I WAS ALWAYS WELCOME
BUT AM I THE ONLY ONE YOU'RE LAYING WITH?
Am I enough?
Ciara Apr 2015
In life, we as humans usually take things for granted. We’re so used to having something or someone, and we’re such confident, oblivious creatures that we think they’ll always be there or that nothing will be ripped away from us in .02 seconds. We always say, “Oh, that only happens to other people, that’ll never happen to me.” Life has imminent ways of challenging us, our psyches, and how well we are able to react and deal with stress, pain, and hardship. Life is actually pretty funny; one day or week or maybe even a month, everything will seem perfect, normal, great… and then BAM. Literally everything you could possibly think of just goes wrong, downhill, absolutely down the drain. We get our hopes up and life lets us down each and every ******* time.

misguided ghosts
Ciara May 2014
I really wish you guys knew just what it does to me, and Emmy, and Trusty,
when you fight.
I hate it when you guys fight. I hate it so much. It makes me want to cry.
You guys just don't understand...
It really ***** us up. I'm scared to look you guys in the face now.
I hate feeling like a stranger in my own home.
Is this even a home?
I don't think I know what a home is, or if I ever have...
Or if I ever will.

I understand we're all pretty broken people, but that doesn't mean
we have to take it out on each other. I understand we aren't exactly whole, either. We're just kinda misguided, kinda lost. It's really sad, to think about it.
I just wish you guys knew how much this hurts all of us, more than just you...

Where do you go?
Ciara Dec 2013
Where do you go,
when all you've ever known is ripped away from you,
and it's all your fault?

Where do you go,
when you ****** up,
and you don't get that last chance?

Where do you go when the last person you had leaves?

Where do you go when everyone gives up on you?

You give up on yourself.

I kissed you today.
Ciara Apr 2015
Oh, my love
though you aren't even mine
And you never really were

I missed the swirl of colors
in your eyes
and the light behind them
after we kissed

My chest still aches
though I have realized
it is not I
who is missed.
You kissed me back.

Your words, not mine
Ciara May 2014
You say I need to make better choices,
yet you never give me opportunities to.
You yell at me, and put me down,
yet I never do that to you.
You say I need to do better,
yet you don't give me support.
You say I need to go back into inpatient,
yet you don't look into why I feel the way I do.
You say I'm spacey,
yet you fail to realize I'm always ******* spacey.
You say I'm a failure,
yet you don't see that I'm your daughter,
and this is not my fault.
You're the one who raised me this way.

So don't ******* blame me  for your mistakes.

so much for that.
Ciara Sep 2014
My emotions got the best of me.
of course you don't love me back
You just thought it would be "fun"

Cause it's so much fun to make someone fall in love with you
Only to rip it out of their chest

And leave them bleeding on the floor.

And I'm sick of others leaving me bleeding on the floor.

So I took it into my own hands.
I'm the one who made the ****
so deep it's seeping through the bandaid.

Are you having fun now?

I'm not. I'm racking my brain,
Asking myself why I'm not good enough for you-
Or anyone else.
I'm just a *******.
I'm just a ******* toy

You'll be curious about me,
Pick me up and play with me,
Until you find a flaw
Then you'll leave me in the back of your mind
You grew bored of me
You got what you wanted

so now I'm the one
Making myself bleed

So much for being "clean" for two months.
I threw that away.
Just like you threw me away.

I thought everything was better
I thought I was better

But you proved me to be
*so **** wrong...

It's cold and I don't love you any less than I do in the summer months.
