I’m sorry
Lila Nov 2023
I don’t know what I did in order to ******* such a forgiving God, but I’m sure he must be angry.
Why else would he put me in this God forsaken body…this ugly, painful body after I’ve begged for mercy many times.
I’m sorry…I’m SORRY…IM SORRY for whatever I did to make you hate me

Just anxiety
Lila Apr 2023
It’s just anxiety they said as my heart began to race
It’s just anxiety they said and I pass out straight on my face
It’s just anxiety they said as my body begins to shake
It’s just anxiety they said as my stomach continues to ache
It’s just anxiety they said and I slept through every day
It’s just anxiety they said, it’ll go away
About a year later I was diagnosed with a chronic illness called POTs

Listen to me
Lila Jan 2023
Get out of the house. That’s what they say
Do they not hear me?!
I say I’m exhausted
I say I’m in pain
I say I feel dizzy
Do they not hear me?!
Go to the gym. That’s what they say
Do they not hear me?!
I say I’m exhausted
I say I’m in pain
I say I feel dizzy
Do they not hear me?!
I’m not okay

Invaders
Lila Aug 2022
I’m a stranger in my own house
The others living here aren’t my family
These invaders took MY room, MY parents, and the rest of MY childhood
They took my life and my family because there’s was ****** and I am supposed to feel sorry for THEM!?
How and I supposed to feel bad for them when I despise them?

I wonder
Lila May 2022
I wonder how those two girls might have spent this day if there weren’t any flowers being placed on there grave
I wonder what kind of adventures they might have went on if the breath wasn’t cut short or how many more times they would have gotten to smile
These people who I never before spared a glance now fill my head with questions they fill my head with grief
I wonder why them why now?

Fat
Lila May 2022
Fat
People will call little kids fat and expect them not to get sick when they see themselves in the mirror

We put children in front of a TV where all of there favorite princess have 5 inch waists and think that they won’t see food as the number of calories it holds

As a society we bully anyone that doesn’t wear a double zero and then we act surprised when they **** themselves trying to reach “perfection “

Too much
Lila Nov 2021
Tapping Talking Yelling Running Laughing Crying

Too loud it’s too loud

Pressure on my shoulders is what sets me off

THE TAPPING TALKING YELLING RUNNING LAUGHING CRYING
ITS TOO LOUD AND I AM too tired to comprehend everything

One day
Lila Mar 2021
One day I will wear a crown and it will not fall
One day I will look in the mirror and say “ you’re beautiful “
One day I will dance without a care in the world
One day I will be a confident queen and I will rule my mind, it will not rule me

When the night comes
Lila Feb 2021
Are the stars really gone in the bright of the day
Or do they just retreat until the night comes there way
What do the stars do while they hideaway
Do they dance through the sky to make the birds proud
Or do they sleep in their beds made up of clouds
If the stars really do just go away when the sky is no longer that dark shade of gray
Then how will they know when it’s their time to play

Miracles
Lila Feb 2020
Stars fill the sky and light up the night, but for some reason that doesn’t count as a miracle

Colorful flowers grow out of the earth but somehow that isn’t impressive

The world is constantly turning but we don’t get dizzy and people don’t think it’s incredible

Why can’t everyone see that little things are miracles too the fact that we’re even alive is a miracle in itself

Misunderstood
Lila Dec 2019
Some people think I’m weak because I cry all the time but really I’ve been holding everything in to long

Some people think I’m easily scared because I’m tiny and sweet but really I’ve looked in the face of fear and yelled at it to go away

Some people think I’m Vulnerable and that they can use me because I’m indecisive but the thing they don’t know is that I’m fine being by myself

People misjudge me often but I don’t look my part

Indent
Lila Dec 2019
Sometimes I wonder if you look closely at my eyes, you can see every thought from my head and every image that I’ve seen?

Sometimes I wonder if my cheeks show the tears I’ve cried, as if they leave an indent on me

Sometimes I wonder if if you look at my smiling face, can you see all the words I’ve said all the cry’s for help I’ve silently whispered?

Sometimes I wonder if you look at my hands, can you see that I’ve used them as weapons against myself?

Sometimes I wonder if you look at me close enough you can read my whole story, every thought, every tear, every word, every touch can you see the indent that life has left on me?

Waiting
Lila Dec 2019
I look at all the girls with their perfect hair and their eyes sparkling or their new shirt

They hold there boyfriends hand and know someone thinks they are pretty

I watch romance movies and so badly wish for it to come true

I read books about perfect guys who always know how to say the right thing

I sit there just wishing for a boy to tell me I’m pretty and make me laugh

But I just keep waiting And waiting and waiting

Mirror mirror
Lila Nov 2019
I looked in the mirror to find a small girl who didn’t like talking to people or being in large crowds
she would rather good to the book store then a mall and never had been asked out or had a boyfriend
The girl only saw her flaws and was embarrassed by her scars
She was short and petite and looked much younger than her age with her glasses and her child like smile
She wished to be anyone else except herself she wished for blonde hair instead of brown and for her eyes to look more green and for her stomach to shrink a little for her legs to grow a bit
Then she would be pretty then she would prove the people wrong all the people  who she thought where thinking   rude things about her  
But then I looked her in the eye and said
I love you and don’t forget it

Wondering
Lila Nov 2019
I lay wide awake wondering why I can never sleep
I cry in my room wondering why I can’t be happy anymore
I fake a smile wondering when I had to start pretending
I stab myself with a needle wondering why I’m still alive
I sit clutching my head trying to stop the voices in my head wondering why they are even there
I sit up shaking from my nightmare wondering why when I finally sleep that I wake up crying
I listen to the question “how are you “and I wonder why I answer with “I’m fine “
But you would never think that those things would happen to me because I’m constantly smiling and saying “I’m fine“

The Monster Under My Bed
Lila Nov 2019
The monster under my bed
It crawled in my head
It whispers to me I’d be better off dead

It’s made me cry
But its made me less lonely
It’s made me want to scream
But it’s given me answers

that’s why when you grow up you no longer believe in monsters under your bed because they are all in your head

Just Hold On
Lila Nov 2019
I used to lay down sticking needles in my leg

I used to scream inside my head hoping someone would hear me

I used to cry myself to sleep and pray that I wouldn’t wake up

I used To wonder why I simply couldn’t be happy even when I should be

I used to lay awake at night ,not able to sleep

I used to think I was crazy and that was why this was happening

And although I still fight voices in my head that scream to me and tell me horrible things

I’m starting to get better and enjoy the little things
Lila Nov 2019
What came down the window,
Not morning but moon light
She wrote thoughtfully;
Holding onto a dream of a boy and a tree Remembering the old world
Where monsters were just pretend

The old me
Lila Jun 2019
The old me that used to think pain was a headache
Now replaced by the new me that knows the pain of losing a loved one

The old smile replaced with a fake one to cover my pain

The old trust replaced by the constant fear of being ditched

The old words that came out of my mouth replaced by silence

The old thoughts of rainbows replaced by thoughts much darker

The old me replaced by the new me who has many regrets

Gone
Lila May 2019
Dragging myself with my hands I leave everything I know behind
tears wash my face as blood washes my knees
I make it out alive but there is nothing left to live for
I'm left alone in a put of darkness
Because to save myself I left everything else behind

Pain
Lila May 2019
Pain is a wall
It tries to stop you
It gets in your way
If you run into it
It doesn't budge
You can't climb over it
Or go around it
Pain is a wall
Holding you back

Into the night
Lila May 2019
Six kids run and laugh
Stars glisten in the moonlight
I'm safe and complete

Ocean
Lila May 2019
The ocean reflects off
the sky in the day and
glisten in the night

You step into the ocean and the waters
Perfect and you just want to dive in or
The waters like ice and you don't know what to do

The ocean is where lots of animals live
And where if you put your hand under
long enough you can feel them rush right by

The ocean is like a magical world and
The rocks are like castles

If you go down down down and you sit
there for awhile you feel like
nothing's stopping you like it never ends
May 2019 · 235
Just one
Lila May 2019
Just one sentence could end a conversation
Just one word could stab you like a knife
Just one hand could pull you out of the dark
Just one person could change your perspective
And just one life could change the world

The one to the left of me
Lila Mar 2019
He walks by and I give him an small smile
we sit side by side
I stare at him and when he looks over I quickly turn around
Like nothing happened
He steals my books and I through his on the ground
And we laugh till one of us falls into the floor
With his red hair and sweet smile
I wish I could stay for awhile
Jan 2019 · 143
Fears
Lila Jan 2019
Fear takes over my body
My hands shake but the rest of my body won't move
I can't say a word
I try to run but my feet are glued to the ground
Even if I could run there is know where to go
Know where to hide
Because you can't get away from your own mind.

The bible
Lila Jan 2019
A book about the creator of all things
One that can tell you what happened in the past,
What to do in the present
And tell you about the future
And most of the world dose not even know it exists

The truth about lies
Lila Jan 2019
People lie and say it's going to be ok
People lie and say we will make it through this
They lie and say they would do any thing for me
The lies drown me
They never leave my head
They haunt me forever
They taunt me till I give up
People lie and say they would climb the highest mountain with me
But it's to late because I've already let go

— The End —
