I am always
The punching bag
the shoulder to cry on
the comforter
the listener
the talker
the 'here to make things better'er
the one to poke fun at
just to make yourself feel big
I'm here to talk you out of suicide
to make sure you wake up tomorrow
to ensure your happiness
even if i must sacrifice my own
I'm here to clear the darkness
from behind your eyes
but its my light that now fills you
I have been depleted of something more
I am something to go to
when you need someone
or need to feel
I'm not considered a person anymore.

Ponder Woman

I want to run.
Be free.
Be the little girl they see in me,
but plot-twist happen frequently,
opening your eyes to things you didn't see.
Burning the cheerful into your mind.
If only I didn't once leave that behind.
If I could return to those naive, fun days.
But fun was out and sad was in,
so I figured "well okay."
I dived right in,
singeing my skin,
turning me to the pit.
I was told,
"don't follow your instincts",
so I guess this is what I get.
Now I sit alone,
a pitiful lump of coal,
as a dog without bone,
or soccer ball with no goal.
I'm heading to "God knows where"
on a train called "Oopsy Days,"
and when I arrive,
they will all be amazed.
For I am the writer
who will give them a story,
for I am a lighter,
and my flame gives me glory.

Friendship

Friendship

Through thick and thin,
Broken and unbroken,
Lies, and arguments,
Heartbreak, and heartfelt apologies,
Hugs and bumps along the way,
You can count on shoulders,
To lean on,
To take advice from,
To be loved on,
To be treated,
Like family.

Battle Scars

Be brave
You already are
Look what you survived through
The wounds of your past have closed
The seemingly endless chapter ended
The dark bruises faded lightly
The battle left you scarred
And your still here
Be brave

them

them

everyone has that one person
that understands them in every way possible.
where one simple glance
with one eyebrow raised
means 1000 words.

no one else understands what they have.
its not a romantic relationship,
but still more than a best friend.
they're like family.

they bring sunshine to your day
and a smile to your face.
they complete you.

they are the peanut butter to your jelly.
the milk to your coffee.
they are everything you need
to be happy.

but when they leave
you rip yourself apart.

Laughing

I laugh to hide the pain
laugh to hide the shame
that I bring on others
and leave them in the rain.

I always do.

Im the one to blame
for the pain
I put on them.

My friends,
they'll never know or understand
or think I am playing a game
but you see,
I wish I was.

Mask

Mask

They are worn
as a disguise or
to hide

To hide from the past
the shame that remains
the monster inside
the lies

To disguise
the pain that never
well change

Hide Myself

Hide Myself

Hide my self
hide my sorrow
learn to live
like no tomorrow

Tomorrow comes
and with it pain
the true self buried
further away

Hide The Pain

What do you do when the tears run out?
When he pain becomes so much that you can't remember a life without?
What happens when you can't breathe?
Tell me, what do you do?

Do you lie?
Do you smile?
Do you wear long sleeves to hide the damage done?
I'll tell you, I've done all of these things, yet I still have not won.

I'm still here.
I still live in pain.
Never without constant fear that I'll never be the same.

I cannot cry,
I cannot breathe,
I wish again for the shelter of the long sleeve.
I cannot feel,
I cannot speak,
I fear being labeled a freak...

So tell me again, what do you do?
I need something new.
I don't know how long I can go,
Before I lose control...
