My past haunts me
My future taunts me

But when I'm with you

I'm at peace
And it's weird
But wonderful
All at the *same time
Phoenix Nov 2015
I have a closet
In the back of my mind

It is where I chose to hide
All the things I want to deny

The problems
The hurt
All have a place
In my mind

The closet

Sometimes it doesn't close
Because of an overflow
But I chose to ignore it

When I'm depressed
The demons break free
And they control me

The closet door is broken
And my self control is lost

The hurt
The pain
The loss
The problems

My demons

They strangle me
They tear at my heart
They tear at my soul

All because my closet door
Is broken
Shattered

Hope seems lost

But I work
And so does my construction crew
To fix my closet door
To contain my demons

To give me hope once more

A stuffed bunny
With the name of Hope
Long ears
And a little fluffy tail

A small gift
A big impact

Environment
Filled with self hate
And hopelessness

Nothing but pain
Tears
And regrets
Filled me and others

But this small gift
This stuffed bunny named Hope
Was a remider

A reminder
That I have people on the other side
Waiting for my return
People who care
People who love me

People worth FIGHTING for

All because of a bunny named Hope

How can't you see
I'm broken inside
I'm damaged goods
No hope insight

You say I'm fantastic
Beautiful
And kind

How can't you see
I'm worth just being left behind
I don't understand
How I'm worth your time

You say you love me
You say you care
I don't understand
Your thought process

How can you love me
When I'm so broken inside
My heart butchered
Broken into pieces

What if I'm broken beyond repair
My heart may just be another snare
What if you're just wasting your heart
Trying to repair mine

My love will just leave you in despair
As I've got nothing to spare
My love is a poison
And it will leak into your soul

So be ware
My cautious lover
I might hurt you
Might even **** you a little

Because I'm broken
My love like shards of glass
I'm damaged
Maybe beyond repair

I love you
Cautious lover
I'll let you use your time
On a heart as broken as mine

Be careful
My dear
Because I fear
I might just be a waste of your time

26 letters

Thousands of combinations
Known as words

Combinations strung together
In phrases
Lines
Sentences

Some used to build
Some to destroy

Poetry
Rhyming
Feelings
Patterns

Stories we share
Pieces of our life
Feelings we hide from the people in our little world

But it's only combinations
Nothing but 26 letters

Billions of people
Billions of problems

But it only takes one
One smile
One laugh
One "hello"
One "it's going to be okay"

It takes one person
One life
To affect thousands

It takes you

You have the power
To save a life
Or take a life

Your words
Your actions
Might mean nothing to you
But they could mean the world
To somebody else

Use your 'power'
To those in need
Show the love you have

Be a rebel
In our society
Reaching out in kindness
Is rare

So be a rebel
Be kind
And remember
You have the power
To save lives
The question is:

*WILL YOU TAKE IT?

You are alone

Don't ever let anyone tell you that

Everything will be ok

Just know that

Your actions can't change the world

And you're wrong when you say

That you are a beautiful person

Look in the mirror and see

All the flaws, the imperfections

Learn to live with

The fact that life is too hard

Embrace

The ones who say you are nothing

Leave behind

The hope of a new beginning

Never let go of

The words they call you

Find strength in

Darkness

Remove yourself from the

Happiness in this world

There will always be

That sense of emptiness

Stop focusing on

The things you truly love

Surround yourself with

Negativity

Stop this

And read it again, starting at the end and going up.
For those who want to give up.
