superpower self confidence
Day Aug 2019
I want to be invisible
but, really what I mean
is
I want to be okay
with the way that I am seen.

my dam(n)ation
Day Dec 2018
How could any good,
come from this broken soul of mine?
Prayers never do what they should,
but they tell me I'll be fine.
Depression feeds religion
or is that just my line?
Could this suffering be conviction
my warning from divine.
where is the line between what is right and what is wrong. between what is good and what is bad. humanity will never agree - are we alone in insanity?

my seven wishes
Day Sep 2017

five. the sound of the crickets singing
six. protecting arms around me
seven. *an intimate goodnight kiss

To live
Oh, to live
is to be so afraid to die.

I’ve lost a part of me,
but I can’t remember why.

Past, present, future;
they’re all the same.

One more year,
same old game.

Mom said
Day Apr 2019
"Don't be Day, she acts like the devil." to my sis,
but, I have never felt Satan's dark and humid kiss.
Only to myself, have I attempted to be true.
So, a message to little sister , "Please, just be you."
I need to be writing. Time slips by me, but I am trying to scoop it up again. Re-finding the things that drive me to be alive is truly a neverending adventure.
Day Aug 2016
I wish my words were poetic in your language,
*Because they're just pathetic in mine.

lovers grave
Day Sep 2019
Let's be buried in our favorite cuddle position,
you can be my little spoon.
We'll find the best spot for our decomposition
with a perfect view of the moon.

Sometimes, I am scared of the close
of this happy life with you.
But, our souls will start again I suppose
a story all anew.

picture me happy
Day Nov 2015
i'm so scared of losing you
that i can't picture myself
having you.
i can picture waking up in an empty bed
filled with drunken regrets
i can picture sitting alone
watching you across the room
i can picture rejection and pain
after embarrassment and shame
but i can never picture
you and me
because i'm to scared
of you leaving
right now you're here
maybe not with me
but here
and the fear of that changing
is enough to keep me quiet
i'm currently writing  a book (random thought)
Day Oct 2020
Bones built with empty tp rolls
Skin scratchy paper
Brain stitched with badly written poems
Veins flowing *****
Eyes rolled with strawberry swishers
Nose bleeding paint
Chest dried out in the sink
//
Feet laying down for the night
Thoughts stain the sheets

As much as you can put the past behind you,

one month
Day Dec 2016
31 days, seems so small
compared to 31 years
one month, only one
of you and me

I'm not the cliche
'Happy one month Babe!!"
kind of girl
but this time seems different

Hoping for the day
I can look back
and look at you saying
"Happy 31 years, Babe."
Teenage love comes and goes. Buts who's to say it can't last.

Day Oct 2015
Words to me are like paper planes,
some fall instantly,
some go on and on and on,
but in the end,
all are forgotten.
i don't really know why I wrote this. it just seemed to make sense to me i guess.

one side of two thoughts
Day Oct 2015
sometimes i wonder if i made you up,
if somehow,
from my innermost thoughts,
you were spawned into existence.
the other part of me,
somewhere out there,
walking,
breathing,
thinking,

somehow knowing that i need you,
as if i called you,
from incohesive musings,
and untraceable cries.
in the womb i spoke,
and you heard,
responding instantly,
saying nonsense,
its impossible,
you are you,
and i am i.

but i heard the falter behind it,
as if an unborn child,
could comprehend anything,
nevertheless something so important.
but no matter,
because i found you again,
and i'll listen,
for something i haven't heard in a long time,
not since the cord was cut,
and **i became alone.
this is a really personal peom for me and i know it may not make sense to anyone else but i had to write it down
Day Oct 2015
listening
and
waiting*
for something,
anything
to write about,
as if tragedy
is meant
only
for
us.
i decided to continue this because i really liked it the first time. i'll probably write one every once in a while
Day Dec 2021
Cookie in my hand.

Crumbs on the seat.

No gas in the tank,
but a nice sweet treat.

A story about a lil old man eating a cookie in his car at a stop light. <3
Hope your day was good.

do you give a damn?
Day Jun 2018
today I feel like finding a bridge
and ending it all
blaring angry lyrics
scream "*******" as I fall

but in the silence
I find peace
and in the distance
we've felt release
241 · Sep 2017
sweet love
Day Sep 2017
as we laugh, sing and dance
i stop a moment, heart in hands
turn to you, and then i say
promise me, you're here to stay?

lifts my chin, looks in my eye
forever and ever, until I die
and even after, turned to dust
your heart is safe, you can trust

even though my hands still shake
and i have never believed in fate
i hear the truth in what you say
and feel the love you give away

What is the definition of myself?
A modpodge rendition of a pinterest post I saw?
A poem I wrote drunk off my ***?
A half-hearted rhyme I can't tie tother?
This is not a poem. It's my life.

my cigarette
Day Oct 2015
you asked me if you smoked too much,
and i said no,

just keep smiling,
and ill be alright.

i never really noticed that there were no colors here exept for red.
i guess that makes sense,

our innermost thoughts intermixing with logic and meaning,
creating something beautiful.

How do I handle
waking up
with a strong-*** desire
to bleed out in the bathroom?
Imagining my toothbrush
as a weapon,
bleeding gums are the least
of my worries.
Before I leave for work
quickly check
underneath my mouse pad.
Yup, it's still there,
my blade.
I don't need it,
I tell myself
as I start my car today.
Turn on 104.9
and journey on my way.
Passively suicidal mornings have dominated lately. No apparent reason why. I do it to myself you know?

More than a poem.
Day May 2015
does it really matter what I write in this box?
if it never makes a difference?

does it really matter what I have to say?
if no one really cares?

does it matter if I  write one poem or a million?
if they don't really mean anything?

does it really matter at all?

No.

because I'm just another shadow, wanting to be in the light.

Day Jun 2017
i wish, someone would notice,
that the depression came back
long ago
sometimes i just have a thousand million feelings inside me all just floating around aimlessly, surfacing at the worst of times. times that dont even make sense. and its really killing me. i dont know how to handle it. instead i just push it down, and down and down. here, on hello poetry is one of the only places that i allow it to fully come to the top and bare its ugly face. im tired of just dealing with this thing. .this thing inside. i look at other people and i dont understand how they appear so happy. it looks so easy to get, so simple to achieve, and yet i sit here wishing and wishing for it and still nothing. just a mixing *** of confusing pain inside. and i just wish someone would see it, i wish someone could help. but i know that even if someone did bring it up that i would brush it off, not that they can help me anyways. im handling it. right?

Got bills to pay,

Day Aug 2016
it's hard to express a feeling you don't understand yourself,
to explain an emotion unknown to you.

it's like asking a child why they're crying for a toy,
they don't comprehend, they only know that they want it.

honestly, i've stopped attempting to locate this mindset
or at least the origin of it.

I have learned to stop asking questions,
and rather, search for answers.
i guess i'm back, if anyone was looking

Day Oct 2018
always counting
the ways i could be better
(-1) lesser voice, (-1) smarter things to say
constant reassurance
of why i am enough
(+1) seems stable, (+1) showers almost every day
daily working
to prove myself right
(+1) constant patience, (+1) being productive
breaking a cycle
of crying at night
(-1) hating myself, (-1) not wanting to live
odd how,
wanting so desperately to be someone
i've forgotten
what it means
to be myself
will it stop?

honestly, you need to smile more. you're laugh makes me so happy.
you're courage gives me strength. never let go of that.
i'm afraid if one day you stop smiling,
i'll stop,

i'm in such a mood to write, but i have so little time.
