When I am in deeper waters
You can swim my body back to shore
Know my spirit is still treading
In the depths
My sister was a wildflower. She grew through the weeds into a pastel purples and blues and pinks. She was the happy child who was shielded from everything.
The favorite.
The loved.
The wanted.
She would laugh and laugh. And cry when we kissed her goodnight. She loves the sun- heck her name means sun- and playing hard.

But that was a year ago.

Now she's going through some phase that I can't comprehend.
"I love you"...god when was the last time she said that to anybody? I see through her big blue eyes and her dry comments. I see her world become a cynical cell that nobody has the key to. I see her door being locked and her mouth twisted until I can't see her anymore. All that's left is this thin outline- a faint memory- of the vibrant little sister.

And I am reminded that flowers also die.
The uncertainty of life
Is both a curse and blessing
You choose which it is

I love the sky on the grey days

The ones where people hide away

Sunset is just a phase but beauty is constant when you're awake
You ever had a feeling
That you wanted to die?
And acted on this feeling
And you survived
And questioned why
You're still alive?

You ever had a,
Ever had a feeling?
That made you wanna,
And acted on this feeling.

You ever had a feeling
That rids you of all reason?
And makes you hate your very being?
You are blind
And I'm searching for a feeling

Can't find a feel,
Because none of it is real
I'm traumatized
You say that it's not real

You are blind
And searching for a feeling,
I'm.
Nothing like waking up after another failed suicide. Again.

Skies are beautiful
They have clouds
But they still cry

Why wouldn't you?

You are beautiful
You have poems
You can cry too
Because crying is honesty to your emotions, and honesty is beautiful ;)

hit me
hit me a little harder
I'll build a family
as you drag me across the floor
paint my skin
with shades of
lavender and roses
you treasure my bruises as trophies
hit me
hit me when you like
please never lay a finger on him
please never reveal yourself to her
hit me
I'll drown myself inside a box of flames
to keep my children safe
**** me
**** me if you can
hate me
hate me while you can
the day has come
I can finally breathe
ashes running into the sea
I've healed
your strong grip against my throat
I left you trapped inside a burning box
blessed to never see you again
For my mother,
I love you,
I am sorry.
