Moon glowing brightly
over a frozen sea
Captured
in photo of me
I'm on the ice
Looking down to the deep
Face glowing
as I see another looking back at me
A silvery mermaid
glowing under the moon
Trapped
under the ice
Smiling
up at me
My hand reaching for hers
Flat against the ice
Hers against her side
We can't touch
Until the ice has long gone
We promise to see each other again
I put down the picture
Looking out onto the same sea
Open and fresh
Waiting for me
Her head bobs in the waves
Brightly smiling at me
And off I go
Back to my sea

Flickering
Blinking
Finally going out
Fixing
*******
It comes back
The light bulb
Fragile little thing
Easily replaced
In time
Breaking again
again
and again
Fixing each time
Replacing
Each glowing
a bit brighter

Bending
folding
breaking
tearing
ripping
shredding
tucking
coveri­ng
pulling out
pushing in
poking
And finally,
displaying
your masterpiece
of pain
effort
time
pressure
mind
But did you ever
stop and wonder
question
ask
think
about what
that small piece
of paper
ever did
to be this broken
Sometimes people are just like origami. Broken and ripped or Masterpieces of time.

Hi guys.
You might not read this.
I just need to get some things off my chest.
They're really weighting me down

I hate it when someone things they can threaten me but not say it to my face, but send one of their friends to do it instead.

Some people just need to get over relationships and shouldn't call people "******" because they start talking to a ex.

I wish people would stop the teasing and stop thinking that they can stay things and not think about how it will affect others around them.

People who think they can talk **** about me and are too chicken to say it to my face, you need to step up and own what you say and stop being a ***** about it.

That's all I want to say right now. Thanks for reading if you did.

Why must we hide
inside these walls?
When there is music
in the halls?
They are haunted by doom.
No more joy
an empty room.
I wish to sing all day
to rise, fall.
Fly away.
Out we crawl
sneaking, creeping
between the walls.
Careful to avoid the weeping
Wailing of the downfalls

Pain, Pain
Go away
Don't come back
for another day
But it decides to stay
Harboring my body
Leaving scars
Hurting the people I know
It will never go away
Until it's beaten you
Until you're gone
It whispers deep in the night
"You're nothing"
"Who would ever care about you?"
"No one cares"
"Go ahead, hurt another person, it won't fix you"
"You're broken"
Deafening any hope
any sort of reason
From Pain comes Depression
And he's a tricky thing
Taking anything anyone has said
and twisting it
reshaping it
until it's something degrading
He hits you like a truck
You'd never see him coming
I sure didn't
Doctors give pills,
psychiatrists give 'advice'
but it never helps
He's always there
Deep in your mind
An epidemic of the soul

Ding, ****
Depression is back
I cry over you
You'd never know
I hide my pain from you
You'll never find it
You get my hopes up
Only to drop me
Like a rock from a skyscaper
Bringing me back down
Down into my depression
It's just what you say
what you do
That makes my pain greaten
And cry at night
But you wouldn't know

Light bleeds through
Breaking the calm
People come to see the view
With their plaster
and tape
Closing these cracks
Not to fix them
To cover them up
To hide the broken
Using their empty promises
"It won't happen again"
"It was an accident"
They're as clear as glass
Only lies hide inside
So they cover up the truth
The pain of who they hurt
The broken souls
Who shattered like mirrors
Against angry fists
Cracks covering the outside
They run deeper than the eye can see
Until the soul has broken completely
Can they see how much damage
They really did do
