brain
Pastell dichter Jan 2016
I try to be happy
but you are nothing
I hate my brain

I just want it to shut up
you are stupid and worthless
I beg please stop
no I'm just telling you the truth
I just want to be okay
*no

Steam
Pastell dichter Jan 2016
The steam from my tea rises up into the sky,
Like an angel, small and white
I wish I could rise with it
Up into the grey sky
Never looking back to the cold dark ground

The secret to surviving
Pastell dichter Jan 2016
If you feel like you can't survive
Simply ask yourself if you can survive the month
And if you can't do that ask yourself if you can survive the week
If you can't do that, the day
Or simply the second
And live in that second in tell the next one starts

Some nights
Pastell dichter Dec 2015
Some nights I can't bring myself to turn on the bathroom light because I don't want to see the scars.

Some nights I can't sleep because the pain of the day is heavy on my shoulders.  

Some nights I cry and sob because I feel like I can't do it and I'm not enough.

Some nights I pick up the blade and I can't bring myself to put it back down again .

Some nights I just want to sleep and never wake back up.

Some nights I gasp and shake from the cold and fear.

Some nights I hum softly because I can't stand the silence.
I just felt like I needed to wright this down

lies
Pastell dichter Dec 2015
you tell me I'm smart
that I'm strong
that i can do it

but how can i be smart when i can't do simple math
how can i be strong when some days i can barely drag myself out of bed
how can i do it when i can't eat my breakfast

you tell me I'm pretty
that I'm fine
that it will be okay

but how can i be pretty when i look in a mirror i see someone who is not me
how can i be fine when life seems grey and dull
how can it be okay when the days drag on and on and i just want to sleep

you tell me you love me
that I'm safe
that I can live

but how can you love someone as broken as me
how can i be safe when I'm with myself
how can i live when i can barely survive

you tell me that you'll be there for me
that you'll always be here
that no matter what ill have you

but how can you be when you don't understand what going on
how can you be here when i can say the same
how can i always have you when I'm afraid of scaring you off

you tell me lies and i can't tell you that i don't believe you
because it would hurt you
and i can't do that
im so sorry
but i just can't believe
im sorry

The pit
Pastell dichter Dec 2015
Have you ever felt like your in a pit?
A deep dark pit
That absorbs all light and hope
And you try to climb out of it
Up and up
Towards the light
Towards the happiness
And your almost there
And you can feel you spirit lifting
Stretching for the bright day
But then you misplace your hand
Or the rocks give out under your feet
And you fall
Back down
And you hit the bottom
And you feel like you can't do it again
And all you want to do is curl up in a little ball and cry
And so you lay there and sob
But after a bit you feel stronger
And you try the climb again.

Sometimes you will fall and slip
And sometimes you will reach the top
But no matter what you have to try
You have to climb
Because if you don't
Then you'll be stuck there forever
So try to the climb
Because you can do it.
You are strong.
And I believe in you.
you are strong. and i know that who ever you are you can make the climb

No you don't know me
No! *******!

No! ***** you!
No I don't want to be perfect for you
yeah no

A bird in a cage
Pastell dichter Dec 2015
A bird sits in a cage.
      Waiting for the day he is set free
               He sings bright and clear at first
        But as the days drag on and on
                The song dims and dips
              He's so alone,
                    So afraid,
                      That he'll never get out.
                     He starts to panic
                   To flutter and fade.
                 He tries to fly away
               But the bars stop him
                       He's trapped.

             My heart is the bird.
                     My ribs the cage.
                           And I'm afraid.
                                So lost and afraid.
                                      Help me fly away.
                                                                         please......

feel
Pastell dichter Dec 2015
I feel helpless.
Like I'm gonna lose you.
And that scares me.
I'm afraid.
And lost.
But I know I'm not fragile.
I know I'm strong.
And I know I can do this.
But I'm afraid of losing the ones I love along the way.

Driving
Pastell dichter Nov 2015
As we're driving i smile and nod
But inside I feel like I'm being torn apart
Like I'm being dragged away
Ripped out of the colors that make up life
As we drive further and further the world is slowly turning grey
Without you in it I feel like I'm fading away
The sunlight is too bright
The air too cold
The blade in my back pocket weighing me down
Calling for my attention
It hurts but I promised to be strong
I wrote this on the way out to Colorado

Fuck I miss you
Pastell dichter Nov 2015
**** I miss you.
It's not fair.
Your so far away.
I just want to go home.
**** I miss you.
My body aches for your touch.
**** I miss kissing you.
I long to see you.
I miss your eyes.
And your hair.
I miss you so much it hurts.
A deep ache I can't stop.
Only you can help me.
Only you can satisfy my beating heart.
**** I miss you.
I'm in Colorado with family and I miss
My sweetheart

Family
Pastell dichter Nov 2015
i hate my parents
always trying to one up each other
always acting like i might pick a side
like i might say i want to live with the other one
i hate that they always compete
saying things like
"oh he's taking you to see his family for a week?"
"well guess what I'm taking you to see mine for two"
and little things too
back handed comments and gifts
i hate that every night sense getting back I've cried my self to sleep
that I've cried more in the past day that I've been home
than I did while I was away
I'm just tired and sick of my life
Nov 2015 · 310
So long
Pastell dichter Nov 2015
With all of that family
How will I survive?
I just can't do it.
How will I stay alive

I love my family
Don't get me wrong.
But two weekends
It's just to long.

I'll do anything
Just tell me please.
I'm begging you
From down in my knees.

Just one week is all I ask
I'm sorry I can't do it.
I'm not up to the task
Yeah basically too much time with my crazy family
Nov 2015 · 346
you are
Pastell dichter Nov 2015
you are the smoke to my fire
the book to my tea
the warm to my soft
you are the only one i want
the only hope i have.

you are the cold to my bitter
the stormy to my dark
the meaning to my life
you are the best thing that has ever happened
my secret yearning.

you are the red to my black
the emo to my punk
the beautiful to my cute
you are the one thing i love most in the world
my evah
just a little thing i want my maple to know

Pastell dichter Nov 2015

I'm sitting on my bed
shivering with cold or sorrow

a soft blanket
and still i cry.

the tears continue falling.

Changing
Pastell dichter Oct 2015
I have changed.
I have grown.
I am older now in mind and body,
I have loved and,
I will love her still.
I came out as bi to my parents
And I have learned many things,
You have helped me to know who I am,
And so I thank you,
My sister,
My brother,
My friend,
Thank you my Em.
Thank you so much Emma/EJ for what you have done for me. I hope you know how much I love you.

The tiger is my friend
Pastell dichter Oct 2015
And so you see that I must go
in to this wild abbis
Where the dark swirls and the light shrinks away.
I'm sorry my love
But the night is calling,
calling me away
The bird song means nothing
And laughter is all for naught
Because I must go dancing,
Dancing to the hill and
to the sea
where the butterflies spin webs of love and the tiger is my friend.
I don't know where this came from
Oct 2015 · 583
we can do it
Pastell dichter Oct 2015
forced words on paper
scratched nails on chalk bored
stiff caned laughter
smiles to mask a wound
stitches to hide a broken heart.
this is what the world is standing on
but we can change
we can rebuild
we are strong
WE CAN DO IT.

sleep
Pastell dichter Oct 2015
I can't sleep
it just won't come
the dark won't  take me
the songs still hum
they won't go quiet just for a while
so I can lay down my head
and dream of a smile
a smile so far away I can hardly see her
but then she's there and I can sleep again
but just for a bit and then it slips away like one of the mer,
and I just can't sleep
and the dark won't take me
to the blue, black deep.

To late
Pastell dichter Oct 2015
Your words came to late
The damage was all ready done
The cuts all ready made
The tears all ready shed
The rope was to late
I'm sorry I falled you
But I couldn't hold on
I was slipping in to a dark abyss
And I have yet to return
You where to late to save me
Just go on without me
You can do it I know
The sun shone on me to late
I was all ready consumed by the dark
It was all just to late
I'm sorry maple I lost again

happy
Pastell dichter Oct 2015
reading in front of a fire in winter when its raining,
the wonderful feeling of climbing a tree and reaching the highest branches,
jumping in a cool, clear river in summer,
eating fresh baked bread with butter and honey,
dancing in the rain on a warm spring day,
dancing with out a care in the world spinning and moving like the wind,
letting the beat over take my in tire body and throwing worries to the sky,
thats how you make my feel,
thats how i want you to feel,
come feel that way with me.
i don't even know what this is or where it came from

Hiding
Pastell dichter Oct 2015
hiding from the ones that would do us harm
stealing quick kisses when there backs are turned
hoping they will not see the way we glance at each other.

hiding from our parents
scared of what they would say.
of what they would think.
of how they would react.

hiding in the dark
warm kisses when we are alone
the quickening of breath when someone walks by the door
the rushed attempt to calm our racing hearts.

hiding the hurt
I feel when I can't see you.
or when I found out about he pain
you where hiding from me

hiding the tears I want to shed
because I want to tell my mother but
her words hang over my head like a dark cloud
"if you where in love with someone" she said.
"I would never let you spend the night at there house and vice versa".

and so I hide in tell I know
I'm strong enough to tell her
in tell We are  strong enough to tell Them.
this is about my relationship with my sweetheart

dark
Pastell dichter Oct 2015
your dark is so different than mine
mine is welcoming and safe
my dark is home
you said once that you are afraid of your dark
and what it lets you do to your self
I hate that I can't wrap you up in my dark
and hold you,
safe and warm
i don't really know where this came from

soul mates
Pastell dichter Oct 2015
what if your guardian angel is actually your soul mate that died before they could meet you?
Some times just before you fall asleep that feeling you have like you are safe and warm,
its your soul mate giving you a goodnight kiss
and tucking you in
whispering in your ear how much they love you
and to sleep well and
they will see you in the morning
and when you wake up they are right there with you
helping you thru the day
holding your hand as you walk down the street and going out to lunch with you and your friends.
Imagine you decide to stay in that night and they smile and laugh because they have you all to them selfs.

Or when you are sad curled up on the bathroom floor they are sitting next to you telling you not to cry that every thing will be okay.
How do you think they would feel if you cut your wrists or your leg, think of how they would feel not being able to hold you and for you to hear them say that its okay to not be okay and they are here for you,
that even tho you are down now you will get better that life has its ups and downs and you will be okay.

How do you think they would feel if you where standing on the edge of a bridge at an open window,
or with a knife in you hand ready to open you veins and poor out your blood,
think of how they would feel,

what if they where standing next to you yelling at you begging for you not to jump
to put the knife down
and fight just so you will see the world as they never could.
Because even tho you would be together in death
they want for you to live
for you to have the opportunity to love another
to see and do all that you want.
Because life is short and you would have all of your after life to fall in love with them.    -HBN

Pastell dichter Sep 2015

I wil try harder next time
I'm sorry sweetheart

Sweetheart
Pastell dichter Sep 2015
Sweetheart I love you,
You don't need a mask,
Your beautiful and smart
and sweetheart I love you,
for you and not for who you pretend to be,
You don’t need to try to be any thing more than you,
Because you are strong and brave
and I know you may not love your self as much as you should,
But sweetheart I love you,
So please don't hide behind a mask,
Let me see you as you and not as any one else,
I believe in you sweetheart,
I know you can do it,
I’m not asking you to smile for me,
I’m not asking you to laugh,
I just want you sweetheart,
Because I love you and I want my sweetheart back.
for my maple

My Love
Pastell dichter Sep 2015
I have never been happier than when I am in your arms,
Wrapped up in our own little world,
Not caring if the sky where to fall
and the sea to rise up and swallow the earth,
Because I could live on light that glows in your eyes
and the love you hold behind your lips,
I can't express just how much I really love you,
But I do and I want you to know
I love you maple.
to my sweetheart

The Rose and the Moon
Pastell dichter Sep 2015
The Rose silently grows up high,
Stretches reaches up to the sky,
The moon up in the dark blue sky looks down with pity in her eyes for the passionate Rose.

— The End —
