You can't judge someone for how they choose to survive.
Some people will sit completly numb in the rain for hours.
Some people will try to **** the sadness away,
They will meet a stranger and they won't even bother to know their last name.
Some people will date people they don't love,
Hoping that that will make them less lonely.
Some people will become cruel and you will wonder why are they like that.
Some people will cry their lungs out in the silence of the night.
Some people will prefer to be alone, and you will wonder why is that.
Some people will drink until they drown their thoughts.
Some people will do anything to survive.
How can you blame someone for living?
No one can judge you for the way you chose to heal.

When I was young
I wanted to be away
from the monsters under my bed
But as I grew older
I realized that
The monsters are in my head

Her hands tremble
As the temptation conquers her mind
She grabbed anything sharp
That she could find

Go, do it.
Said the voices in her head
She listens and cuts
Wishing she was dead

Blood stained wrist
Blood stained sheets
Are all she sees
But now her mind is at ease
Relapsed the other day and felt like relapsing today but I wrote this instead to stop me from doing it again.

When will you realize
That your words
Are like knives
Piercing your daughter's
Fragile little heart
Venting through poetry.

She lit her cancer sticks with the candles that she lit up with her eyes when she was lit up, bouncing up and down on that strangers thighs. So she smiled. When you smile you’re happy and with her it appeared so otherwise her dark eyes wouldn’t have that ****** glow.

Now have you ever thought maybe we women are all actresses and this thing we call life is a performance. Just because she showed some skin didn’t mean she’d decrease her value, as a star it takes lifetimes over lifetimes to dim. So she sat on Venus and talked to the goddess, not a gas planet but she spun on the rings. Living on the edge, almost falling off the rims. After a few times around she did get sad and her world was like Alaska in the winter. Cold and Dark for days after days until that season ended.

But this wasn’t sports, so when would this end. Yes, this wasn’t sports because this wasn’t just a game. Well in the end it was kind of like sports with the angry fans and sweating athletes trying to please people who paid for this event. It was a lot like that last part, pleasing fat angry lonely beer drinking patriotic men. Taking clothing articles and undergarments one at a time off her skin she would try her best to play the game, please the audience and still win.

But what did it mean to win. To get a lump sum of cash like this was a boxing match? It kinda is, to try to reason that living the label of a negative stereotype could somehow be good for you? Beating yourself up on things bad for your body before you fought that bear physically, just so you could leave 30 minutes later with a decent state of mind and to be healthy mentally.
Healthy? Now what is that, a good beating heart to be thin, in america we can’t be fat. But we are, fat in our stacks that go to 1 out of the 100 people that live in this country. Fat, yeah we’re fat inhaling McDonalds because it’s all the other 99% of us can afford. It’s illegal to farm on our own because we might provide something healthy, something that’ll keep us alive.

So this cigarette is as natural as it gets, and the horse tranquilizer inside of it takes her to a prairie where she earned her fake name Black Beauty because that horses eyes reminded her of her own, and when she looked deep enough on a sunny day she could actually see the reflection of herself. And as she takes another hit of the Cadmium she got vibes of energy and flashed back like a campfire flashlight to the days when she carefully inspected the batteries to make sure she was putting them in the remote correctly.

How is it that her careful eye has boiled itself down to making sure a middle aged mans ***** goes inside of her correctly, bandaged with a ****** like her brain will need to be bandaged with gauze because she decided those cigarettes weren’t keeping her sane enough. These men aren’t reliable so she’ll die in the hospital bed she can’t even call her own for she forgot her name. She’s struggling to pay forth for the 1 million dollar X-ray so Mr. 1% can hopefully try that electrifying fish someday. In her last hours she’ll regret every man she let lay a hand on the small of her back, every man she ****** off like a summer snack, every man who labeled her worth on the minutes out of the hour she was there and by the ****** favor.

My lesson here is to never sell yourself like she did, ****** or no ******, a baby and 3 hours of labor is just 18 years of reminding you that 1 hour with you was worth 225 of their dollars, 9 months of your year, and a new label to a single mothered child who would seep infinite tears due to the lack of knowledge of why mother loathes you and why mommy’s eyes are as dark as the words she doesn’t speak to you. And hopefully this child will grow up relieving it’s blues though rhythmetic clues to his or her life, just as I am telling the story of a girl I met and learned for two days who just happened to be a *******.

She didn’t need a lot of milk in her cereal, just enough to make it damp. Come to think of it, she was like that with mostly everything. Only needed the bare minimum to survive or to even be satisfied. This may have been why I loved her, or maybe the fact that she catwalked in the middle of a ghetto. Or maybe it was because she smoked cigarettes in the winter on her porch in a sundress.

I spoke and I screamed
Yet you couldn’t hear me
Or you didn’t
and you moved and you danced
Stole each man’s glance
except for mine

I suppose I thought I was worth more
But you never are
as a spawn of a *****

Little clouds of chemicals falling down an abyss
leading to a pool of acid
suddenly life was lucid
and the cutting blade no more
cruel than the soul of a loose kid

Your eyes with make up
If you let me stare long into them
I could read
your eyes
are always watching
as to assure
I can’t assess them
as to make sure
I can’t test them

Your lips
vary colours
and when they’re dark
youre bright
but you wear light colours
maybe if i bought you black
you’d wear it around me
maybe even kiss me

Sometimes I wonder
if you’re the girl who can set me free
if you let me unlock your eyes
and canvas your lips
it’d be the eureka of my life

Darkness never felt so bright with you
Elements have never been so intelligent to confuse my senses
Creeping through the atmosphere at it’s most elegant state
Cigarette smoke
Feelings come in waves of pictures that’ll soon be memories
The one thing I’m promised is this motion film of you flicking past me
Intimacy gone in a flash
