I saw a man on a hill
Overlooking a valley that stretched over miles
With tears drenched on his cheeks

I knew by the shovel in his hand
And the mound beside his feet
He was sad

The gravestone was nameless
And when I peered over to see
There was nothing there

That's when I saw a man take his life
Falling thousands of feet into hell
But I thought he was an angel

He wasn't sad,
He was in pain.
And I didn't realize that in time.
So I took myself and stood on a hill
Overlooking a valley that stretched over miles
With tears drenched on my cheeks

I didn't know why but
I held the shovel in my hand
Beside the hole in the ground

I was sad
I wanted to **** myself
I hate myself

They didn't know,
That I was in pain.
And didn't realize that this time.

I haven't slept, nor do I want to
For fear of being casted into the roaring seas
And crashing into the high rocks
I fear the roaring heartaches and
Sudden images flashing like lightning

In this ravenous storm my heart slumbers
The tides caressing my eyes to close
And swiftly take me into the arms of the sea
Unfathomable things collide in my mind
My thoughts poisoned with fear

Swept into the cold, tethering darkness
Gravely I embrace the poisonous serpents that
Poises around my ribs, and fills my lungs with water as death fills life
Loving figures turned fiends and
Worser still myself and I

The hurling tides now may begin to calm and
Hold me in it's arms, calling as it speaks
Soft etches across my neck and open beaches
Tender warmth embraced in the lighthouse's chest
Safety and happiness wraps around me, the waves pulling me further into my darkest depths

I fear it's not just a dream, only a dream I cannot obtain

In the end I'm slowly dying,

This painful toxin stealing my strength

You hold my hand and say,

"You are not alone"

and I feel right.

In this nightmare I wait for you

For the love and courage you give me

I won't go until your hand is in mine

Together you make me strong

Together I make you brave

Words
are like
w o u n d s
that
never heal:
impactful,
deep and
something
you never
forget

When words are
thrown at me,
hit me and drag me
down to my knees.

My mind is
dismantled
by the gleam in
your eyes and the
tone of your words.

You raise your
fist and demand
me to fight back,
but I cannot.

I have nothing to say.

Silence is my
best answer.

Perfectly beautiful
Imperfectly heartbroken
Entirely talented
Wasted creativeness
Full of potiental
Waste of space

Utterly and completely perfect.

Wherever we

no matter how

you will
always
be my home.
