Access Denied
Slowly
one by one
as Time ticks by. so dose the access
One by one
removed and blocked
slowly becoming hidden from view
back into the shadows I live in
your ease of use
your simplicity of speech
now dwindling

I gave a warning
I spoke truth
I didn't bring out the matches
but I like playing with more then just bombs
My fuses long, but they have burned enough
I didn't light the bridge of trust on fire
I just had it rigged

How much longer
till you hear nothing
but a dial tone
and the silence
you feared so much?
"i want you in my life"
"I care deeply about you"
"Your voice makes my day better"
"I am so ******* when it comes to you"
"I want you"
"I need you in my life"
"Please don't go"
"I, I love you"
"Just for me, please"
"Oh come on, its not that bad"
"I think you'll cute"
"Just for me, please"
"No, were not doing that"
"I will not do that"
"Because I said no"
"Why does it mater to you"
"Do you even love me?"
"Here let me make it up to you"
"Oh come on, don't be cold"
"It was just a joke"
"Why are you distant"
"Why don't you listen"
"Because I say it's so"
"Like you said, I'm all you have"
"In my house this will be the rule, no exceptions"
"You will do it because I say so"

Countless words
unlimited breaths
all for what
for history to repeat once more?

Not this time
Not this round
Not this year
I won't break under your thumb once more
Because for once, I am choosing myself
And learning to love myself
more then I could love
the false man you played
Your greatest fear, only coming true
You are more like him then you think
And I am glad I am not my mom
Once the clouds part, and sun shines down, only then can I see what damage the abuse caused. And how strong I am for getting out and not letting it continue.

Phantom
A thrill when together
A longing for more
The rush of adrenaline
The endless soul searching
Trying to fill upon the gaze of another

But the kind devil
And mean trickster
Have all vanished
And left the phantom in their place

A hope
A plee
But in the end it was foretold of pain
So why does it hurt when truth was shown
That you were nothing
But a ghost in my mind.....
Why am I broken?
Why am I traumatized?
Why can't I be loved?
Why can't I be safe?

I share my hopes and dreams
Only for the knife to be sharpened
As it gets pushed into my back...

Is this really suppose to happen
Or is it just the real life
Of my own plot

One where the happy ending
Isn't for the daughter.....
Apr 15 · 41
Just words...
Simple and sweet
a sugary high none can match
a endless taste upon the lips

a bitter cup
coated in venom
Endless torment from the remains

Constant attempts
dwindling hope
but in the end

there all just words
so why do they hurt
when told to stop?
Apr 12 · 141
Battle
A constant fight
A constant war
But in the end
was it really worth it?
Mar 12 · 52
Running from tomorrow
Stay up late
be as busy as can be
busy bee
anything to keep the mind distracted
Even as simple
as coloring and forgetting everything

if I stay up long enough
tomorrow doesn't come
and I can stay in the state
of peace and unknown

where everything is fine
and nothing changes
and tomorrow's worries
never come
Feb 28 · 51
A misunderstanding
So much emotion
So much built up

Neither understood
Neither tried

"Please, don't go"

A freeze
A solid wall collision
A phrase
Always said
Never heard

Hours of discussion
Building of a new

Understand both differences
A start
Of something only every dreamed

And though there are cracks now
I hope we can fill them for a better foundation
My daring devil
A fresh start
Feb 24 · 43
Endless story?
It was simple
so selfish in practice
a stroke here
a click of keys there

a simple story
a simple concept
both mine to hold
both with happiness

but is it really ok
to compare even in make-believe
and despite the end result

was it really make-believe
or my story all along

one where they do fall in love
only after one soul is completely broken

two books
two stories

a character that wasn't me supposed to be me
really fell for the human who hates angels.....
Feb 23 · 34
Silence killer
Endless stream
Comstant voices
Giggles and laughter
Now behind endless walls of stone

A request
A plee
Thrown back in shreds

Miles turned into inches
Hours turned into seconds
It was a shaky bridge being built
But the rot and chard remains still held

Now the distance greater
A time of need
Once more shut out
A desperate attempt
To keep the shards together

But the edges sharp
The cuts deep and swift
Endless silence
As the blood flows out
Feb 22 · 52
It wasn't the duck
Endless thoughts
Racing through a still body

The fear
The anxiety
Why is it
STILL HAPPENING

The torment
The pain
JUST LET IT END

The acceptance
The plotting
Yeah that will calm the head



Doomscrolling
And the carefully built wall
Cracks and breaks
Majority down
The building still stands

A random thought
Turned into fear of unknown
A possibility
Crushed under a shoe
Of what was to be expected

Two eyes now watch
From the desk it sits
The trash so close
But the hope still there
Crushed but not enough to trash

A shoulder throbs
Wrist sprained
But it was gonna be worth it
It would be worth it in the end, right?

Calm music
As a heart races
Tears flowing
And silent screams echoing in the empty room

I should be fine
But all I want
Is for the clock to turn back

Turn back when I was safe
Turn back when he was mine
Turn back
When I could finally break with someone

It wasn't the duck
No these scars run much deeper
The duck just floated down the stream
In the hurricane that followed
Feb 18 · 47
Rush
So much time
so little energy

so much to do
so much left undone

A step here
a waltz there

A endless dance
a fruitless night

A day here
a month there

a dollar paid
a penny earned

*** for tat
and that is that

such simplicity
in the complexity

to fully know
to understand

dive deep
swim in the shallow

Gaze here
gaze there

all the same
once at the end
Feb 10 · 74
If i said it sooner
"Your kind"
"Your gentle"
"Your smart"
"Your cute"
"Your funny"
"I like the time I send with you"

How to say
The truth I've relized
Knowing the pain it will cause
A reminder
A constant scar
All for the fear
Of what could happen.....
Feb 3 · 53
Burn it down
A simple request
To protect and uphold
A simple action
To look away and walk

Why did you leave
And yell and scream
Only to gas light and burn

But the forest is dry
The light very dim
I just wanted to sit and eat
To huddle and warm the my hands

You poured gas all over
Are you really that mad
That I dropped my match
When you pushed me down?

Whistle
Such a small voice
silent on the winds
the words silent
to those who turn away

a single promise
a single hope
a single flame

Gone out in the night
a single sound
upon the winds

She tried
and for what
a forgotten name on stone?
Jan 7 · 72
Wildfire
The action
innocent
The meaning
purposeful
the reaction
unknown

A single spark
A single question
A single bit of curiosity

And the carefully crafted house of cards
will come crashing down
because in the end
the house always wins

until their caught red handed.

Such a wonderful day
Full of hope
Full of dreams

I woke up bleeding
from the cut I obtained the night before
the silence of a phone
only echoing the loneliness

Thought everything would be fine
but my government failed me
And now after finally finding something
that was helping
I no longer can go

this was a good day
this was suppose to be a good day

and all I wish
is for it to end...
Jan 3 · 46
Trust on fire
A single phrase
Burned on the scar it created
A single action
A single thought

"Don't be sad"
My body shakes
The fear of the hit
Worst then the actual strike

"I didn't yell this time"
This time...
Will there be another?
Will I be punished again?
Will I be taken advantage of again?

"Are you you still hurt?"
As if a breath or two
Would fix the scar that's bleeding
The mind went silent
A default protection from the pain

The bones healed
But the mind couldn't
Such a fragile piece of thin ceramic
The cracks are there

Was this a hiccup
Or the beginning of another end?

The knife you hold is very sharp
Will I be cut again
Or will you put it down
My devil in disguise?
"What are we doing?"

I'm falling
I'm dreaming of you
I long for your touch
Your warmth
Your presence
A home we created
A home I can live in
Because despite everything
And every fight
I still choose you

My dreams use to be with another
A hope on a "one day" prayer
A longing for what I lost

And then you
Shattered my dreams
Shredded my mind into pieces
Made me question my worth
And I still go back to that night

Where actions were louder then anything else
Where I got to know
That love could be with another
And that I could trust another
So yeah
Longing
Falling
Smiling as a heart shatters

"What are we doing?"
"I don't know."
"Leave it to me to fall for the one woman on the continent I can never ******* have" -Xaden Riorson

I should...
Happy
Hopeful
Excited
Giddy
Bouncy
Peaceful

And yet all I feel
is the knife back in my chest
that I first felt
a years ago
When I realized
I would always be second
Dec 2024 · 85
Pretty doll
It would be easy
hoping the words I wish to speak
find you in other indirect ways

But alast
only the truth comes out
years later on my silence
on why topics are limited

I cater to you
I've always catered to someone
its what I'm suppose to do
right?

Because my voice is small
because my thoughts and just second thoughts
because my wants, come second?

To be honest
I don't know which is worse
believing I could muster up a lie
or that this time

I'm the one who fell first?
Dec 2024 · 57
Too bright
Sitting cross legged
A soul begging for warmth
On the cold night
As the breeze blew by

Hoping that something
Someone
Would want them
For them
And could accept everything they had to offer

A freak occurance
A simple message
A broken and tapped
Still holding on
Olive branch

A promise
A friendship
Pick up where it was left

I thought I was smart
I thought I was strong
I thought.....

Simple actions
Brutal honesty
And images of what could be
Peek through

But the darkness swallows
Covers all the good
Barking and snapping
In the endless tornado
Of pain and misery

A truth
Shared between two
On a sleepless night
And the hope
The belief
Crushed

Because those that love so hard
Always burn too bright
For any candle to hold
More then just a spark......
I wish to be Penelope....
Even for just a day

Uncontrolled chaos
The repetitive motion

So small
A toe in a shoe
Up and down
A beat of 120
In its own metronome

The bouncing of a leg
The calming movement
The concept of being ok
But is it
When it bounces like a bunny?

Then the hands
Knuckles knocking
So fast so long
Surprising the bones haven't chipped away like stone being carved

Simple
And completely uncontrollable
"Just stop shaking"
I would if I could
But like an out of control coaster
I just have to ride it out
Until the body crashes from exhaustion
Dec 2024 · 53
Where we left off
Such a simple act
Pure honesty
Pure trust
So swift
A single action
A dial tone

A voice
Hidden so far down in the depth of a mind
And the winds were the only salvation
The laughs
The jokes
The fun

But as the smiles falter
So too does the memories
So perfect
Under shattered glass
Every touch
Brings blood as payment

Cold nights
Wishing to be held
And flinching at the touch

What happened
What happened to a fearless mind
Surrounded by shards
Dec 2024 · 74
The impossible possible
So empty
So hollow
Yet still wishing
On the impossible to happen

Perhaps one day
Before years take their toll
And my hair turns grey
I will get to enjoy the lights

Soft glows in the night
A single color among them
A simple walk
Hand in hand

Ah yes
What a dream
The impossible is
Dec 2024 · 242
Such a fragile mind
Innocent and naive
Small and young
Pretty and warm

But the edges are frayed
The frame a little chipped
The wood spilt
And hanging by a thread

Stich and thread
Time and effort
So much strength
To and another thread
Onto that nail

One by one
A picture is hung back up
It is not what it was
Nor what it could have been

The wood has rot
The nail a little bent
But the picture still hangs
And beautiful and straight as ever
Dec 2024 · 51
Body shakes
Uncontrollable
Against my will
Everything runs
Of possibilities of impossible
Is this fate
Or a tick of the mind
Hopping
Begging
For something
Only just out of reach

But what of the past
The anger
The hatred
The cuts that scared
And the choice
"Your family, or me"

God I asked for a sign
But is this really it
When I can't control my memories
When my body
Is not my own
Is this the home
I truely deserve?
The worst feeling a person can have
Above all else
Is not grief or pain
Nor joy or sadness
Frustration or anxiety
Fear or even love

No the worst feeling
Is confusion
Because if you do not know what is going on
Then how do you know what to do?

Everyone in confusion
Will freeze
Almost paralyzed
Trying to figure out solutions and gain clarity

But when you live in that state
Of unknown and wild possibilities
Is it really hard to believe
That you just started to gain clarity
On the way?
Dec 2024 · 80
Merry merry, what?
Holiday cheer
Celebrations all around
Everyone buzzing
With a feeling and warmth

A first Christmas here
A first for a pup at work
A first, to be last

The year tough
Money tight
Penny pinching to survive

And now you still expect
Me to give a gift
When I barely afford food?
And for what
Because you say so?

Yeah theres holiday cheer
But the actual reason
You might have forgotten

So tell me again what were celebrating

Is it a thanks for being here,
Or the monetary gifts your looking for?
Dec 2024 · 72
Trapped
I use to be ok
I use to be alright by myself
I use to enjoy new things
I use to enjoy the freedom

Mental state got worse
I now need a service dog
When my mind tail spins
And when a safe hug
Turns into a flash back of pain

I use to be ok
Now the momeories haunt me
Keep me awake at night
Force my body to collapse in the day
All because my mind is a prison

Now I struggle with words
The articulation a difficulty
Where I use to give speeches without a stutter
Now I'm tounge tied every hour
My mouth fully of taffy
And for what?

I use to be ok
I use to function
Why is my brain
Locking me out of the world
I grew up living in?
Nov 2024 · 52
Oh Death
Your dark smile
Your cold eyes
The souls to hold
Cry out in agony and sorrow

You try to best
To hide the flaws
Your bones show
The cracks time create

None the wiser of the deal you made
An enteral life
Full of sorrow and pain
Full of broken hearts
A simple deal
To be with the one
Who took your heart

Time forgot their name
A whisper in the wind
A melody in the leaves
A voice upon the birds

Time is not cruel
For each crack you develop
New life begins

You can try to hide your past
Hide your honest self

But one day
That light you hold so close
Won't be a single candle flame
Anymore
Nov 2024 · 51
Ballerina
Simple
Sweet
Keep it in check
Hold that mask
High and tall
Then show all the pretty smile

Keep it high
Don't let it fall
Keep up your dance
Twirl and spin
Smile and wink
Wave and hug

Act like it's normal
To be the doll you are
Nov 2024 · 95
Weakness vs. Strength
So many ways
So many times
The unspoken
The voiceless voice

So little time
So much to do
So much to live
And never enough to do

What would life be
Had the mercy never be
Would it be the same
Or half the time it is?

All unspoken
What the heart longs
Heartache attached
And a brain never shuts off

So simple
So easy
But that's never been my way
For pain is easy
But strength is hard

Perhaps that's how it ends
A missed unspoken
A celebration
With a seat left open

So simple
So sweet
Why can't it be
A celebration I seek
Nov 2024 · 155
One more day
Just one more
A step closer
A step away
A sleepless night
A peaceful sleep
Just one more day
I can make it one more day
It if means im closer to you
In the end
Ink to paper
The strokes with persision

A simple request
A simple hope

A reminder
Of a promise that still stands

A dream of the impossible
A possibility of the 0.001%

Would you read it
Would you see my heart on the page

Or would it end up in the trash?
Due to worries of another?
Nov 2024 · 44
Toothless
A fluke I saw it
A fluke I found it
It looked so real
So life like
Exactly what I saw
When designing my own

But as excitement grew
The tears started to shed
As I wanted another more
Then to watch it with you

Miles apart
Years have passed
And I still wish for you

I still remember that small message
Written on a locker white board
"Have a great day, love you toothless"
Nov 2024 · 213
"We want to understand!"
But you hide behind "its normal"
you hide behind "but that's just them"
you hide behind fear of what I know

Do you truly wish to understand
and invisible disability
or are you doing this
to make it look good
when I get the meeting of
"You wont try to work with us
Please take your stuff and leave."
Nov 2024 · 62
"But your here,"
Physically I'm fine
A little bruised
Nothing to mind

Physically I'm alright
No cuts or scrapes
Nothing to stain the seats

Physically I'm ok
Through the nods and smiles
Fingers across the keys

Physically I'm
A voice I don't recognize
Speaks to the phone
As the fingers fly and click the keys

Physically
Just stay focused
Study hard and count the days
You'll make it another day

But despite what you see
A hard worker who thrives on her job
Who wants to get excitement from it

You glazed over
When I wasn't ok
And reminded me

I was a number to you.....
"Your never a number here" A empty promise from a empty voice, who refused to see past the cash
I should be happy
to celebrate
count down the days for their happiness

I should be happy
to enjoy their company
to embrace their warmth

but I don't want to see them
not because I don't like them
but for the pain I have

the knife in my gut twisting with every smile
with every side glance
every small loving smile
I hold it together from snapping

from crying out in agony
from screaming at the unfairness of it all

Because how can I tell them
that the love they have
the love that will last
the love I tried to explain

I was yelled at by a 21 year old upon our first interaction
and venom over child games
left deep cuts that scared

And the love they have
the love I see on them

I once held so delicately

so while they get to celebrate
and enjoy a wonderful night
and work every day to be better

I will be on my own
with the empty hands covered in scars
still hoping that something will happen

still hoping a miracle could happen
while I sit and see the name in stone
Nov 2024 · 478
Mask
I wear it so nice
the smiles so genuine
the laughs so warm

yet behind the closed doors
music blaring in my ears
drowning my own thoughts

Only then can I be me
but from wearing the mask so long
I
collapse
Nov 2024 · 68
Breath
Take it in
hold
release

take it in
hold
the anger builds
release

take it in
hold
scream a soundless scream
release

take it in
hold
accept the truth and fight back
release

take it in
hold
lash out in frustration
release

take it in
hold
wait
2
3
release with everything

until your completely empty
to start breathing again

Longing of the cold embers
When the nights are cold
And loneliness creeps up behind

When the air is crisp
And the night sky still

When the flowers bloom
And the birds sing

When the reality hits
And your no where to be seen

Your name on my lips
Through the tears and time
I still wish it true

But as I accept the cold emptiness of your absence
You get to embrace another

"Was it worth it my flame?"
Oct 2024 · 56
White lines
I hide them well
Under sleeves and excuses
Away from public view

Deep down their healing is
Deep in a place
No surgeon can't reach

Protected by bone
The reality still haunts

"It's just a white scar, who would care about?"

Those that understand
The visible white line
Is nothing compared
To the open wound that never heals

Despite the wraps
Despite the best efforts
The scabs always find a way
To bleed once more

Hidden from the public eye
Hidden deep down
In the prison a mind created
Oct 2024 · 713
Not the young ones
Your poison corrupts minds
Steals the little bit of time
Controls and dictates what can be done

Your venom tongue in every mouth
Your cold embrace looming over
The empty promise you swear is full

The minds so young
Forever young
The impact far and wide

The town mourning
Two hearts shattered
And a fur babies job much harder

Deeper your pull gets
Stripping flesh and bone
Only the red remains

I remember being there
Being the same age
And now I cry just the same

For the pain to go away
Brooklyn Nichole Pacheco, 16
Malek Max Mannel, 16

May we see you again one day
Oct 2024 · 271
Test=Negative
Perhaps the pain I feel
is void for the one in my dreams

perhaps the missing moment I have
are the times when he needs me the most

perhaps the reason my body is breaking
is so his can thrive

at least that would explain
all the medial mysteries
Sep 2024 · 320
Colorado
Coffee in the morning
A light at 8

A warm cup of embrace
A cool drag of smoke

A heart longing for the impossible
A soul forgetting to live

Hair up and clean
Unshaven and untamed

A chance meeting
One in life's game

But those eyes
The soft brown eyes

We're ones you never could forget

I still love him
I still love her

Two hearts beat as one
Thousands of miles apart

And only time will know
If that last was it
Or if there is still a ember left in the ashes
Sep 2024 · 270
Shackles
They were designed to help
Used for a reminder
Aid for circulation
In the thinest parts of a body

But the strap to secure
So small
Just hooks and latches
Some elastic to wrap around
It is simple and easy to use

And yet
All I can feel
Is shackles on my wrists
To remind me
How I'm not normal anymore
Sep 2024 · 435
Normal wish
A simple life
A life full of joy
But sadly that in not one
to be uptained

The flashes
The downhill spirals
The constant fights
The constant pain

Why am I different
Can I be normal
just for one day???



"Your different like me? You understand what its like to be, different?"
Aug 2024 · 654
One Year
So much has changed
Today is a celebration
last year full of tears

Funny how that little bit of hope
was the difference between keeping everything
and loosing it all
just because society failed me
Could you love me
Could you accept all of my baggage
Could you accept my trauma
Could you accept my genetics are worst then before

I don't know if you even exist
or if your just a name in my past
but could you love me entirely
like I would love you?
Flaws and all
till this life ends?
