I'm smiling
But inside I'm crying
I laughed
But it really hurt
I said I'm fine
But I really just lied
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
In the morning when you open your eyes
Say hello to the birds and butterflies
Smell the fresh air and gaze at the beautiful sky
Listen to the crickets and watch the sunrise
Because life is short but it's a beautiful thing.
I wrote this one on a day when I was actually happy. That doesn't happen very often.
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
You broke my heart
Into a million tiny pieces
But it's okay
Because those pieces are the lightning bugs
That light my path.
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I feel like I'm floating outside of my body.
And I can't get back in
I'm locked out
I don't have a key to myself...
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I don't complain very often
But I hate being lonely
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I just lost one of my online friends..  I'm not sure how to handle it
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I could never fall in love
With someone like you
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'm not wearing black
I'm wearing mirrors that reflect my soul
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
These pain killers
Are just not doing the trick
My head is still hurting
And I still feel sick

Please numb the pain
So I don't feel anymore
Just numb the pain
I don't want to feel any more!!!!
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 appetite ran away
The other day
I have seen it in awhile
This was supposed to be longer but I can't think of  the words to say. My mind is wack right now....
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
It's crazy to say
But I love him so much
Thing is he's much older than me
He's just so flawless
He big beautiful blue eyes
That are sometimes green
His perfect smile
Oh so stunning
And his voice
His voice
Is oh so beautiful
It's safe to say I fall in love too easily. For I spent on day next to him and I was enchanted by his beauty. Does he feel this too? I will never know.
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I looked into your brown eyes
And smiled
It was like a one night stand
But for my eyes
It may have only lasted for a short while
But I'll remember it always
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
N.H

N.H
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.
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
It's safe to say
I'm alone again
You acted
Like you had a hand to lend
You acted
Like a friend
But you disappeared
You went away
You're no longer here
I don't think I'm okay...
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
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
Please come closer
I wish to feel you near
I want to pull you beneath my ocean blue waves
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?
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
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.
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
she said she was fine
that she had stopped
stopped slitting her wrists at night
but she lied
she lied to get you off of her back
she's gotten better
at hiding the evidence
with long sleeves
and bracelets
she feels lost and unloved
she's alone
she's me
I really feel like cutting..... and I have no one to talk to
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I'm so close to the edge dear
Because no one needs me here
The blade will miss my skin
And I'll feel better from within
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
It's dark
I feel at peace
With myself and the world
But I still feel sad
I still want to cut
I still want to see my vain split open
From the metallic blade I possess
I want to watch as my life pours from my wrist
I want to watch myself slowly die
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
There are spirits here
I can feel them
I can see them
and so can my dog
I guess I'm not alone after all
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.
Darlene Chavez Sep 2015
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me smile
When I am down
You make me laugh
when I am say
You wipe my tears away
every day
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I need someone to talk to. Anyone?
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I lied
When I said I was fine
I'm not
I'm not

My heart hurts
And I think too much
I'm not worth
your love

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
Darlene Chavez Aug 2015
Why do you do this to me?
What do you get out of it?
Saying those hurtful things
I'm tired of it
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
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...
Darlene Chavez Oct 2015
Hold me tonight
Build me a home
Make everything okay
Cause I can't I do this any longer
Darlene Chavez Sep 2015
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
Darlene Chavez Aug 2015
Head phones in
Drama out
You don't need
All this doubt
Shut your eyes
It's okay to cry
Darlene Chavez Oct 2015
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.....
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
Constantly thinking of suicide
Is not a way to live
But I do it every day

People tell me
Suicide is not the answer
But it's the only way
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
The pain
Is too real this time
I wanna slit my wrist and die
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
You've forgotten about me
And it hurts so much
The pain in my chest
Is far too much
The emptiness inside
Is growing bigger
Maybe one day
It will become to big
It will explode and **** me
Then maybe I'll be happy
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
The pain is getting stronger
The days are getting longer
My body feels colder
She just wants someone to hold her

She's alone at night
Fighting a painful fight
Crying herself to sleep

She slits her wrist
As death whispers in her ear
Waking up in the morning
Will be her biggest fear
Darlene Chavez Feb 2018
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
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I feel drained
Blocked out from the world
There's too much pain
I think I'm really going to do it this time
Slice my wrist deep enough
Take my own life
No one would miss me
There's no point
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I'm the white crayon
The third wheel
The odd ball out
I'm the one who has to walk behind when the side walk gets to thin
And I'm the least important friend
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
I wait every day to die
But I always wake up
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
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

20 times in your head
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
What would you do if I died
You can't reach through the screen
to touch my pale face
because of course I'd say good bye
Why
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
Why
What's the meaning of life?
Why are we here?
What do dreams mean?
Why are they there?
Why do we cry?
Why do we sing?
Why do we feel?
Why do we hurt?
But most importantly,
Why are there so many questions left unanswered?
It's sad to say not every gets their answers
Thanks for all the likes. I am very thankful. I'm glad you enjoyed.
Why
Darlene Chavez Jul 2015
Why
I don't belong here
No one needs me
I'm just a waste of space
Why was a put here
Why do people hate me
Why
Darlene Chavez Sep 2015
Why
Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and said
"Why am I still alive?"
