Why
Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and said
"Why am I still alive?"
Darlene Chavez Sep 2015
Was it still a joke?
When she slit her wrists and wanted to die
Was it still a joke?
When all she did was cry

Was it a joke
when she didn't even kiss her mom goodbye
Darlene Chavez Sep 2015
She's a girl
yes
she cries
yes
she's wanted to die
but she's strong
and she's beautiful
and she's wanted
he wants her
to live to smile and most importantly
to want him back
and she does
she always will
even after she takes her last breath
she loves you
with everything she has
keep her
hold her
she was once broken
and she needs you to fix her
put her pieces
back together
and seal them there
with your love

The worst part about being adopted by someone who already have kids is the fact that you know they will always put their kids first. And it hurts because you know you're the least important. You could die and they wouldn't even care. So long as they're blood child doesn't die. I hate it. Its so hard sometimes

To see something so beautiful
Something so beautiful but tainted
Perhaps such a creature doesn't exist
How could they
But yet here I am face to face with one
In the green grass and boisterous sun
In the chilling rain on a frosty day
Such a creature could exist
Just right in front of you even
She is not perfect
Not in my eyes or in her's
She is not graceful like a bird in the sky
She is not as smart as can be
She is not the best of anything
She is not a lot of things
But she is powerful
She is Beautiful in her own way
She is unfortunate, like I
She is not perfect
She can cry
She can laugh
She can love
She can doubt
No she is not perfect
Nor did she fall from the sky
She does not have wings
She is not perfect
She is human just as I am
But she is my Angel
Darlene Chavez Sep 2015
I'm smiling
But inside I'm crying
I laughed
But it really hurt
I said I'm fine
But I really just lied

How much self hate
does it take?
to take that razor
and slice open your skin

How much self hate
does it take
to be desperate
for the end

how much slef hate
does it take
to want to take
your last breath

how much
does it take
from your soul
every time
that blades brakes the surface
of your beautiful skin

How much
does it take
to walk around
acting fine
when really
your head is pounding
your hands are shaking
eyes are tired
from loss of sleep.

How much
does it take
to close your eyes
and finally sleep?
