Value the encouragement
It eases your mind with all that you do
People who offer words of wisdom
Build you up in order for you to get through
Cherish it all accordingly
As you take everything in stride
Go forward and conquer
Just follow through on your guide

Lost Soul

All my life I have been saying,
"I am lost."
"I am lost."
"I
Am
   Lost."

Really, I should have been saying,
"I am only lost
  From my soul."
When you feel lost, it is because you miss your soul.

i dread the day you learn
for the first time that
you can't just love all
the darkness in me away

and no matter how much
you care i will still toss
and turn at night and scars
might still appear on my skin

i dread the day you realize
that you can't cure me
and sometimes all you can do
is stand next to me and
hold my hand through fog
pouring out of my ears so black
and thick we can't even see
each other's faces

i dread the days i can't
get out of bed
the days you want to
take me out and all
i can manage is a prettified
shell of myself

i dread the day you learn
that sometimes no matter
how hard i try i still can't
pull myself together

the day you learn that
there isn't an answer
you can give that will
save me from my fears

you aren't the first person
who has tried to love the
darkness inside away
my family and friends
have given it their all
but someday you too will learn
that if love could
cure mental illness
the world would be
a much better place

Mad
Sometimes I think
It would be easier if I was
Properly mad
Like, really insane
Out of my mind
Disconnected from reality
Because I'm so close
To crazy
But my connection to reality
The piece that grounds me
Is what hurts the most
I want to break it
And let myself go
Mad

Make me feel
dizzy
Make the room dance and spin
Make the floor sway under my feet
Make me fall into your arms
So you can pull me close
And kiss me deep
Make the whole world fade away
Until it's only you and me
Two dizzy idiots
Drunk on each other
Forever intoxicated
Smiling dumbly and happily
Making the rest of the world
Just go away
I want you to make me feel

My story is covered in
Tear stained ink marks.
Blood soaked covers
And ripped out pages.
It's not a pretty story
With flowers and happy endings.
There's no shining armor
And forever after kisses.
There's no magic.
The evil villain is me.
My story will most likely
End  in the words,

"She really tried."

It is magical
when the nature creates the world
So perfectly imperfect
That I, a misfit, can fit right in

You keep trying to put me in a box

You try to crush my future

You try to surround me with all of this evil

You try to make me think that I'm what I was

But I won't go back

I was declared free of this shame

I was given the power of Grace

I was declared a free man

I can walk where I want

I can think what I want

So stop trying to make me think that this evil is what I want

You can't put me in a box

My God has a plan for me

So what can stop me

I will bow before his name

I will serve him

So back down before my God

Fix
I go about my day
Through the motions I make my way
Until I get a familiar feeling
That always sends me reeling
I need another fix of my drug
These words that I debug
Poetry can be addicting
But never, ever feels constricting
Within these words I soar
Leaving me begging for more
Don't leave me feeling low
Give me my vertigo
That only poems can offer
From you, my gorgeous author
To all my gorgeous authors
