You were the pain
A child is never supposed to feel
Wrecked that child's life like a hurricane
And expected them to heal

You held me in your arms
Gently
Your body was so warm
Intensely
That is the feeling I want to experience
Over and over and over again

lips as soft as a summer breeze
And eyes
The color of the sea
I melt
When they're looking at me

You've got this smile that shines brighter than the stars
So beautiful and bright

I'll love you until my dieing night
I wrote a poem for you.
But you might never see it.

When you're happy
Baby's got no storms
Thunder storms
When you're happy

Happy, happy boy
Golden heart full of joy
He's got these blue eyes
Giving me butterflies

I Dont Really Know
Darlene Chavez Jan 2018
I lost a friend yesterday to suicide.
He drove through a telephone poll.
This is for you Jake.

I've never felt so lost or so broken
I can't even think of words to write a poem
My heart goes out to all of his family and friends
Who knows if the pain ever ends
I wish he was here
Why did he have to disappear?
We love you Jake L.

Please take time to read this <3

Few people know that I have come close to ending my own life, at least 4 times. At the time that is what I wanted, to die. Mostly because I thought it would take Away the pain and suffering I felt. I never fit in, kids at school would find any reason to make fun of me. When I was eight years old my sister and I were sent to a foster home. I was told on many occasions that my father wanted nothing to do with me. So I became depressed and lived by a label known as emo. One night I felt extremely depressed and I took a razor blade to my wrist. I watched as the blood ran out of the wound I had made and at that moment I realized I was addicted. Not only to cuting but to the feeling I got when I saw my blood. I knew I had a problem, I would cut every night just so I could feel something I could control and that I knew was real. My friends in middle school saw the cuts and tried to get me help but it only made it worse. I was put into therapy but that doesn't help unless you talk, in which I didn't. I didn't feel safe. The foster home my sister and I were living in was not a very good one. The guy was a creep. So we were forced out of that home and got adopted by my uncle. We tried many councilors and therapists but nothing seemed to help.
I eventually got an 18 year old boyfriend and I was only 15. He got me drunk one night and took advantage of me. He stole my innocence, and gave me something else in return. A baby. But that baby died. Know matter how much it hurts I know that baby is better off with out me. I was so young.
To this day, I still think about hurting myself but I am proud. I have gone a little over 4 months with out self harm, and with every day I grow stronger and stronger. So to those who took the time to read this, thank you. And if you are going through the same struggles, find a clear path and stay on it. Doesn't matter if you're an alcoholic, or a druggy, or even a *** addict. The only way to get better is through steps. Start with a week and slowly move up. I believe in you. Every single one.

Concrete
Darlene Chavez Nov 2015
I am like concrete
People walk on me
Stomp on me
And even rub their feet on me
But I still hold them up
Because
Even though I am hurting and upset
I don't want them to feel the way that I do

Suicide
Darlene Chavez Nov 2015
Being suicidal
Doesn't mean you try to take your own life
Sometimes it means
Pushing others away
So you have less of a reason to live
And waking up Evey day
And just saying "**** it"
To everyone who walks your way
Sometimes it means
Eating less so you'll die of starvation
Or not wearing a jacket
So you'll get sick and die
Or not looking both ways
Before crossing the street
Because you don't care if you get hit by a car
Or cutting your wrist so you feel numb
Sometimes it means
Hiding every emotion
Deep down
Until you finally break
Scaring everyone away.

I don't care
Darlene Chavez Nov 2015
The days go by
You've been drinking every day
I'm trying not to cry
But my life is wasting away
I walk through the school
Trying to keep cool
People stare
But I don't care

Halloween
Darlene Chavez Oct 2015
Every one is painted
Every one is tainted
Lost in their minds
Of who they want to be
I see scare crows and lady bugs
Fake men who wants to be thugs
I see short  skirts
And slutty shirts
This is how you know
It's Halloween

All my life
Darlene Chavez Oct 2015
All my life I've been told
That in the end it will all get better
That if I keep living my life and only worry about me
I'll get better
All my life I've struggled
With depression
With anxiety
And even with people
My every day goal
Is to make it through the day
Without seriously injuring someone
Especially me
It's almost all I think about
So why tell me it'll get better with time
Because so far it's only getting worse
Yes, it does get slightly better
But it's hard to breathe with this anxiety
So why did you give it to me?
It's hard to live with this depression
So why do you insist I keep it?
Just because I'm strong enough for all this pain, doesn't mean I deserve it.

I keep you in my heart dear

Sitting in the dark
Make up running down my face
Crying so hard
My mind is a haze

Why do I do this
To myself
I think I'm crazy
I need some help

My hand is numb
And my body shakes
My wrist is ******
My wrist aches

I'm sorry
I know I promised
But I couldn't help it.....

You'll Always Have Me
Darlene Chavez Oct 2015
If you're hitting rock bottom
There is something you need to know

You have me
I just want to make you happy
As happy as can be
Baby you'll always have me
I love you

Was it a Joke

Your Love
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
Darlene Chavez Sep 2015
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

How Much
Darlene Chavez Sep 2015
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?

I was afraid
To say hi
To wave
To look in to your eyes
I was afraid
To fall in love
To say I love you
To admit
That I really do love you
But now
I'm afraid to let you go
I'm afraid to look away
Now that you're mine
I'm no longer afraid
To be me
To smile
To laugh
To breathe
You are mine
And I'm happy

What is anxiety?
Darlene Chavez Sep 2015
Anxiety is preparing yourself to say "here" when the teacher does attendance.
Anxiety is shaking so bad you can barely keep food on a spoon.
Anxiety is being so quiet that even your mind stops for a second.
Anxiety is never texting first because you feel needy.
Anxiety is not being able to walk up to the teacher to hand in a paper.
Anxiety is always sitting in the back of the class so you don't feel eyes know you.
Anxiety is being afraid. All the time. Afraid to love, to smile,  or even to say hello.
Anxiety is only having a few friends because it's hard to talk to people you don't know.
Anxiety is wanting to talk to the cute boy who sits across from you, but you're afraid of him knowing the real you.
Anxiety is finally saying hello

And maybe more

You Still Held On
Darlene Chavez Aug 2015
When you fall in love with someone
It's nearly impossible to shake that felling
You know it's time to let go
You can't help but to feel
That maybe
With time
They'll change
So you hold on
To the person you think you know
But you don't anymorre
And you deny it
Tell yourself that it will get better
He will get better
You believe
That he won't hurt you again
But deep inside
You know he will
Because he's done it many times before
And you still held on

I Just Want to be Free
Darlene Chavez Aug 2015
I am going through more than you know
And when you call me a ***
it hurts me
more then you think
It makes me want to give up
to give in
makes me want to let death win
maybe he should
just swallow me whole
because this life im living
Is just creating a whole
deep inside of me
I just want to be free

Your words are like a sword
cutting deep inside of me
ripping through my flesh
like a disease
what am I supposed to do
when you say these words to me?
I just want to be free
free from you
free from this world
and free from me.
I'm so close to giving up it's not even funny. It never was funny. I'm so close to carving this blade into my wrist and saying goodbye.

If you ask me why
I'm not going to say it's because of depression
or because I hurt
I'm going to tell you the truth
It's because when I do it I feel alive
like I can do anything
It's gives that rush of adrenaline
to push me forward
When the blade hits skin
And scarlet red seeps from my fresh wound
For a second
I feel happy

that she had stopped
stopped slitting her wrists at night
but she lied

and bracelets

she's alone
she's me
I really feel like cutting..... and I have no one to talk to

Poor little bird
I didn't mean to take your life
I looked into your eyes
and gave you a fright
Who knew
today would be your last day

I'm sorry mama bird
I took your baby's life
I looked into its pretty eyes
And gave it's heart a fright
You didn't get to say goodbye
And now I wonder why

Why was I so curious
As to get to close
I knew you had a tiny heart
But I wanted to be close
You see
Your song was beautiful
Although it kept me awake

Some how I miss your song
And when you would sing
All night long
Even though you're beauty kept me awake
I miss it
When I would awake

Horrible Disaster
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
The tree sways
As the wind blows
But if it blows too hard
It could be blown away
So the wind has to be careful
For she could create
A horrible disaster

But one day the wind became too strong
For the feeble branches
The tree was too week
He broke
Snapped in half like a twig
In one instant
He was whole
And the next
He had a hole

The breeze felt good
As it blew between his leaves
But she hurt him
That's why he had to leave
He became broke
Weeping in the silence
Of our broken home
The tree represents my dad and the wind is my mom
