little mirror
Isabelle Emily Oct 2014
Little mirror, oh little mirror

Will you lie to me?

Manifest the beauty

I so desperately want to believe.

Little mirror, oh little mirror

Show me who I desire to be

Little mirror, little mirror

Don't break on me.

Thoughts Ignored
Isabelle Emily Aug 2014
I've always been called strong willed,
But I'm not as it seems.
I've always stayed ahead than the rest
Never knowing where I'm going.
I've always felt numb
Until the day I died.
I've always thought crying was for the weak hearted
I'm the one whose weak.
I've forgotten the feel of happiness
Until true pity arose from within.
I don't know who I am.
I've lost myself over the years.
.
.
I never anticipated for this to happen

Twinkling lights
Isabelle Emily Oct 2014
The stars shine bright

Such truth they project.

Most realest I've ever seen.

Dead, but they still shine bright.

Gives millions of people

Hopes & dreams.

When they ask me, what I want to be.

I'll look up and say the stars.

Because the stars are what we believe
Are what we see.

The stars.

Is who, I want to be.
Isabelle Emily Oct 2017
I'm beautiful.
I'm beautiful because I said I am.

I'm beautiful because my eyes crinkle when I throw my head back and laugh boisterously at a stupid joke I made myself.

I'm beautiful when I smile lazily and my double chin peeks through the polaroid that effortlessly captures my features.

I'm beautiful because, after many years of being told I don't fit into the spectrum of socially accepted beauty, I laughed and told them to *******.

I'm beautiful because all the years of self-loathing and self-doubt erased the moment I said I'm beautiful.

I'm beautiful and there isn't a soul alive who can convince me otherwise.
just a reminder.

End thyself
Isabelle Emily Feb 2015
I haven't been okay in a while
I sit and stare at my wall for a while

All memories deemed good are suppressed.

I haven't felt like myself since the longest
I haven't had a real laugh since the longest

My motivation dwindles as the hours progresses.

I'm lost and you all know it
I'm deranged and I've shown it

I feel my sanity nearing it's end

Bathroom Confession
Isabelle Emily Jun 2015
Locked myself in my bathroom
Blade pressed against my wrist.

Weeping out my life regrets
Slicing till to there's nothing left.

Oh, what a sin
I commit

I'll sit right here
With nothing left

Mother, I'm sorry.

Don't blame me
I was weak.

I'll love you
I'll watch over you from up above
Till there's nothing left

I won't hurt you.
Mother please, forgive me.

It wasn't you
It was me.

Oh mother, don't blame me.
I wrote it down, and I feel better.

confusion
Isabelle Emily Jul 2014
It's an almost hazy stage
The one where I'm numb.
I lie here with my body
And let my mind roam.
It's almost a spiritual feeling
Without anyone.
I travel back in time
A time where I was young.
Running around the block
With a few boys behind me.
The girls they all watch me

One of them walks over
And taunts as she reaches
"girls don't play with boys."
Bewildered with myself
I stop and stare
At a puddle by my feet.
I look into the water
And see what they see.
A girl
No, girls don't play with boys.
Confused with their reason
I tread along back home
Kicking stones as I'm passing
I took one look back
One final look back

They were playing
The girls were playing
Not with themselves
But with the boys too.

It's an almost hazy stage
The one where I'm numb

reflection
Isabelle Emily Jul 2014
I sit here and think
Blank
Nothing comes to mind
Can't figure out what to write
I need to go out
Need to go find my grind
Not a ****** kind
No
The one where I think
Use it as an advantage
Yes
Let people know how I think
stop
I look across from myself
and see a mirror
But what I only see
Is who I used to be
Its a messy old image
Seems almost non-existent
If only times were different
I wouldn't be so conflicted.

Isabelle Emily Sep 2014
I'm tired.
the most truth I've spoken in a while
I wish things were different.
But they're not
I want to sleep.

hearing you, losing me
Isabelle Emily Oct 2014
I hear the lies you spread
Feel every ounce of hate

"Give it a rest!"

God, I wish I feel no more.

I feel like ******* trash.
Hear the **** that you say.

I know you speak of my past.
Know what ever you say.

"alone, yes we all know."

Lonesome I am.
Fearful I live.

I hear the **** that you say
Feel every truth within it.

Never, am I going back.
Hitting the high way

Never looking back.

Speak of me then.

Spread the truth about me.
Tell everyone who you see.

"I'm sorry for being me."

Take my one last breath.

Fall down, with the rest.

Where I'm free
Isabelle Emily Sep 2014
This is where I'm free,
hidden behind a computer screen.
I type from within,
not caring what you think.
Yes, it's true
I've lost feeling
I've lost hope
I've lost myself.
No denying the truth
I'm going to swim
swim out of the blue
I'll go far
far from you.
Once I'm there
I'll know what to do.
I don't plan to keep in touch
So I say to you
don't be surprised when I'm gone
out of touch
It was only a matter of time
when I would be free.
I write from within
no sense comes from it.
just truth.

Just Go
Isabelle Emily Jun 2015
I insist you go
Go, somewhere far
Somewhere wide.
Let it not matter where
But why.

Live not in fear
But in retribution

Let it be known you have grown
Course through the river
Adjust the sails

Go somewhere
Somewhere far

Not where
But why.

#ForYou
Isabelle Emily Sep 2019
Ever sweet and ever loving-
The times were ever changing.
Malicious and fearsome-
The times were dense with resentment.
Tainted and taken;
Downward and mistaken.
Disillusions and inner turmoil-
Took control and destructed with mayhem.
The ever loving and sweet things were long forgotten,
And twisted and made rotten, through the illusions you’ve spoken.
The question remains, what have you to gain?
Perception has been warped and lies wired and reword with the intention to disarray.
The cloths of fabrication wrap perfectly along your body.
The deceit.
The resentment.
The lies;
The ill intentions-
have coveted the means for resonance and rehabilitation
In the sense of self preservation-
In the sense in which you lack and cannot maintain.
If you know then you know

far too late
Isabelle Emily Sep 2014
When the ashes hit the sea
The walls inside of me
Shattered.

When I opened my mouth to speak
The word caught in my throat
""brother."

When I stopped dreaming
The child inside of me
Died.

When my plea's went ignored
I turned away
Ashamed.

When I wanted to get better

It was far too

Late.

I like
Isabelle Emily Jun 2015
I like the thought of life
But I don't enjoy living it.

I like the thought of relationships
But I'm afraid to be committed.

I like the thought of friends
But I'm no good for them.

I like many things
But hate most too.

How.
Isabelle Emily Oct 2014
The core shattering moment
Is when you lose what you love.

As the days cease to exist
And the moon rises again.

I can't help but shiver.

As the date approaches
I stop and cry.

I've lost more than one can anticipate
I lost more than just myself

Today I lose another.
Another one I held dearly.

Wounds need time to heal
But what if time doesn't allow it?

My wounds have opened
Again
And again.

Over and over
I don't know how much more I can take.

I will for my soul to take
But can't.
Won't.

Allow me to rest.
Allow me to mend my broken soul

How can one go on, if pain is all I seem to know?

Can't
Isabelle Emily Jun 2015
She can't deny it anymore
She hates who she's become
So weak
So pathetic.
What a ******* shame
Can't seem to do much, other than complain.
Can't seem to express much, only knows how to contain
She's lost that light
The one that marks her from the rest
She' shone bright
Now
She can't do **** right.

running
Isabelle Emily Sep 2014
By the time the moon rises
I'll be on the run.
I'll go far away, to a place
To call my own.
To leave you all behind
Is what must be done.
I won't apologize for who
I've become.
But I'll apologize only because
I'll be gone.
So don't go looking for me
I won't be found.
Save your breath
And be safe and sound.
Take care, my loves.

And Honey
Isabelle Emily Oct 2019
But in another time or place, things could have been different.
I think I loved you but I cannot give an accurate response since I am inexperienced in such things
Oh what a shame, things could have been different,but honey life isn't as simple as , one,two, and three
"All I do is lose but baby all I want is to win," is no better understanding of the feelings lingering now
Life doesn't play itself out to be that way, and honey I hold no resentment, I hold no anger, and I find no blame in you, and neither in myself
I will allow myself the time to regain composure and continue forth
I never expected forever from you, I simply longed for the now.
But that isn't what you want, and honey that's okay
In another time or place, things could have been different, but for now they'll remain the same
And honey, that's okay
Rejection.

Mind over Matter
Isabelle Emily Oct 2019
How the heart hurts and how it is heavy,
how I long for the strength rather than the dreary.
It never subsides and it never heals
but, rather I feel the weight of the burden
that the memory cannot seem to halt, or repeals-
the disgruntled and mislead, carried and uncertain.  

The poison I have drank cannot be blamed
for it was me who let the poison sink from within;
For it has grown wild and insane as if it had rained
down ******* myself, down ******* on my skin.
Crimson, cherry, dark hues lie tauntingly on my body
to appease the voices, the thoughts that taunt and scream.
Left alone? Never could I dream of a day's peace where I embody
the strength, the will, the power where it remains a dream.

I bid these thoughts in high regards.
They accompanied me when no one around
cared to see, cared to follow,
instead leads, lies, misuses and remarks
the time, the darkness that was once surround-
ensured me, I was hollow.
Mental instability

An Accumulation of Sorts
Isabelle Emily Oct 2019
I don't wanna be your girl no more.

I can see why he might’ve thought that was about him.

Two hands longing for eachothers warmth.

Dude ***, you still try to tell me y’all didn’t have a thing.

I’m scared that no one loves me, loves me, really loves me.

Aw he loves you, let him love you

And all I ask of you, is baby please don’t leave me, you are all I ever need.

I thought that you guys were like best friends or something.

I can finally see you’re as ****** up as me.

Your  ‘not’ relationship ******* me up more than real relationships.

We will grow old as friends.

I need new friends.

Lost cities, what a pity, no one knows when it’s time to accept a lost love and say goodbye.

soft chords

You remind me of a love that will never stay

and it chips, and breaks away at my heart everyday

So lonesome I feel, but lack the strength to stay away.

Please, just love me or go away.
