Trust

Trust: confidence placed in a person by making that person the nominal owner of property to be held or used for the benefit of one or more others.

I've trusted people.. But never again...

Funny Society
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I feel alone in this world of society
Feeling captivated by what everyone thinks of me
Thinking I have to this or that to fit in
I've come to realize this world is full of sin
Bringing others down
To feel like the alpha wolf
Why do people think it's funny
When others frown?

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

He Won't Let Me Disappear
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
How could I be so selfish
As to take my own life
I didn't think anyone would miss me
But it's clear now
I've got an angel
He's not quite here
But I'm happy
Because he won't let me
Disappear

Antidepressants

I refuse to take antidepressants

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

Black
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
When I wear black
I feel so intense
Like nothing can stop me
Nothing can get in my way
I feel unstoppable
And powerful


It's also scares my enimies away so it's win win.
A friend asked me why I wear black all the time

Happy
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
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

Neither
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I am not Christian
Nor am I an atheist
I do believe
In both god and Satan
But neither rule my heart
I prey
Before bed
Or before every meal
But I also do worship the devil
I like pentagrams
And I wear them
But I do not follow satan

Diseased Baby Bird
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
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

Filled
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
My nights have been filled
With sleeplessness
With pain
With suicidal thoughts
My heart has been filled
With agony
And hate
And pain as well
My face has been painted
With a fake smile
I haven't seen a real one
In awhile

A Heart Deferred
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
What happens to a heart deferred?
Does it burst like a bubble?
Or crumble like sand?
And then fall out of your hand.
Does it crack like sidewalk?
Or crumple like paper?
Maybe it just fades away.
Like a stormy day.
Or does it simply burst like a bubble?
I wrote this poem in 9th grade. I hope you enjoy it.

Him

Him
"Do you still think of him?"

Yes I do.
I miss the way he held me tight
and when he'd say "I love you"
I miss his beautiful eyes
I never wanted to say good bye
but i had too
you see his love was toxic
it was tearing me apart
I loved him very deeply
from the bottom of my heart.

Flower

You **** me slowly

But you don't care

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

Mother
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I was alone
when I was sad
when I was scared
I was alone
because you were never there

I woke up at night
crying
looking for you
but you were not insight

I spent night after night hurting myself
Blaming myself
for your absence
but it was all your fault

I remember the night
when those people came and took me from my home
do you? or were you even there?
I don't recall seeing your face
just a self-loathing woman
who never even cared  

You're just a cruel woman
who deserves to be alone
but you're not alone
the ones who are hurting
are ones left on they're own

It's sad to say... You were once my mother..
Ever since I was eight years old my mom would sleep with other guys that wasn't may dad. She lied to him and he became mean. He eventually went to jail and we moved states. Then child services came and took me and my sister away. We've been in two different foster homes. The first was abusive, and the second was sexually abusive. Nothing actually happened except for inappropriate words from the foster dad. We were then adopted by my uncle.

My heart hurts
And I think too much

Because I'm broken
yeah my wrist is open
I wasn't worth it anyways
I don't matter anyhow

Because I'm tired
I'm so tired
Just.. so tired

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.

Maybe
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
Maybe we feel empty because we left pieces of ourselves in everything we used to love, and maybe we feel sad because love is deceiving. Maybe we feel broken because the things that used to fix us are broken as well, and maybe we cry because there are so many questions left unanswered. Maybe we hurt because someone has to feel the pain. Maybe, just maybe.
Hope you like it.

I want to watch myself slowly die

In the morning when you open your eyes
Say hello to the birds and butterflies

Doesn't Need Me

But he's okay
I don't need him anyway
He defiantly didn't need me

I love you all
Darlene Chavez Dec 2015
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.

6ft Under

My wrist aches to be carved and cut
But you tell me not to
And I'm trying so hard
But I'm weaker then before
You say I can be so much more
But you can't see
All I want to be
Is 6ft under
And maybe more

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

One Shot
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I've got to say this right because I've only got one shot
I smile most of the time
But no one knows that it's just a lie
I wear black
the color of my soul
Self confidence is what I lack
My heart is what you stole
And I'll never get it back
What's up with that?

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.

Painkillers
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
These pain killers I hold in my hand
Will either numb me
or **** me
Either way I win
No more pain of yesterday
No wondering about tomorrow
No more laying in bed awake
With endless thoughts
No more crying
and wondering why
As I swallow these painkillers
I make my final choice

Self Harm
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I'm so full of self hate
I've attempted suicide.
When they asked me about my cuts
All I did was lie.
Blamed it on the cat
Said that he's just a brat
They believed me for a little while
Then they realized I carried a fake smile
When the cuts got deeper
I got sleepier
Could never really sleep
So then I would cut deep
I loved the sight of my blood
It's my drug
This a story about my life in poetry form. Hope you enjoy.
