girl diffused
you tried to feed
me stardust
sway and hold me
as we danced

you tried to make a home
out of me
open my shutters
let the light
flood inside
push sheer magenta
curtains aside

you tried to run
your fingers reverently
over my rosewood

you tried to ***** my home
raise it from the island
kiss my lips after broken
storms hold my hands in your own convince me that you  replaced my old
broken doors
peeling paint and vinyl siding

you tried to
feed me stardust
sway and hold me
as we danced

you tried to make
a home out of me
but I was really an island
ready to be claimed
by the fire and the sea

I feel like I'm dying.
Even though I know I'm not.
I'm breathing, I think.
I have to be,
but I've struggling to feel anything.
Everyone says it's impossible
to die and keep walking the earth
but I feel like the person I am died long ago
and now I'm just sitting in a suit of skin.

I think we're both sick in the head
Bc we cross the line too much
Then we're back to behind the line
I think we lust after that rush

Is it safe to say we're addicted?
To the pheromones our bodies release?
I swear I can't ever get enough of you
When I'm you I feel like I'm at peace

The thought of leaving you kills me
Where else would I possibly turn?
I've been without you before
And that wound is still a bit burned

You're what made me sick
And you're the only one to cure me
Let's be each other's antidote
And recover together in harmony

Sometimes I do think we need space
To breath and let go of passive pain
But I don't want you with anyone else
And I secretly hope you wish me the same

To let go is to be brave
In hopes that one day I'll be ok
I don't know where life will take me
But I'm so blessed that you came my way
11:58pm October 17. Everything I write is for the loml.

Runaway

Nothing made as much sense
As wind beneath my wings
As I ran from trials and tribulations
And felt so beautifully free.

Nothing made sense
As much as tears on my cheeks
As I wrote one last letter
To set me finally free.

Nothing made as much sense
As a lung clean of smoke
As I gathered my belongings
And left a place I called home.

Nothing made sense
Until I decided not to stay
Accepting my cowardly title
I'm little more than a runaway.

Poetry,
Started out as a hobby,
Encouraged by family,
Write on topics variety,
Started with topics like,
Sleep,dream,summer,music,my bike,
I realised what gives my poems emotions,
I write about my life,
About love,
About death,
About happiness,
And sadnesses,
Later did I realise,
Poetry,
Went from a hobby,
To a therapy.

YOU MUST ELIMINATE THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIORS:
cutting,
boozing,
denial,
self-blame,
excessive spending....

I am taking away all of your maladaptive coping skills...
if you need them, they will be in either my purse or the refrigerator
neither of which you are allowed to prowl without my permission,
which of course you do not have.....
And what will we be replacing them with?
Oh -I'm glad you asked, Crazybrain!

We are replacing them with the following:
Radical acceptance
Wisemind
Half smile
Oh, you could exercise too,
if you want: fat-***!
Just deal with it!


I personally think it's stupid to take away a person's crutches in life and expect them to deal effectively for more than a couple of days without a mental meltdown!
Because then you get to live in hell until you can learn to short-circuit the brain's automatic responses that you developed  because of a lifetime of f@#kedupness.

DUMB!*   I'm just sayin'   *D~U~M~B!

people say the bed doesn't feel the same when a lover goes away.
it's been said that it feels that they took a part of you.

i believed these things for many years.
lovers have come and gone, and my existence dwindled away.

until one day when just a shadow remained,
i looked up and i looked around me.

i noticed trees, flowers, and animals.
storms have come and destroyed these things at some point in their existence.

but they came back. they grew stronger.

why can't i?
i can.
i will.
