Don't Worry
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
It's fine, okay?
Stop worrying about me.
That's my job to worry,
It has been for years.

I don't feel worthless.
I don't think you should stop.
I don't want to speak.
I don't think you're depressed.
I don't think you're great.
I don't think I'm fat.
I think I'm fine.
I think we're fine.

Cancer
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
My influence is spreading like cancer
Taking over everything and anything
Sometime you can stop it
But sometimes,
it's inevitable
And you if
you get
rid
of
me
I
Always
Come

Ugly | Beautiful
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
When you're ugly,
People tend to focus on that.
You are what you look like now.
Even if you're beautiful on the inside.

Starting to Panic
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
I can't breathe.
Why did I comment at all?
Why did I say anything in the chat?
They're all judging, oh god.

They don't seem like it but they are, aren't they?
"That's such a weird question, kick her."
"I'm terrified now because of you. Blocked."
That's what they'll do, right?

I can't stop twitching.
I need to cry.
Breathing is getting hard.
Maybe I should sleep.



Yeah, I'll do that.
oh its lizzie this time lol :P

Left out/Lonely
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
I know Iā€™m there,
But I donā€™t feel there
I seldomly talk
I seldomly speak.
I į“·ā±āæįµˆįµƒ feel included,
But Iā€™m not the same.
I feel lonely inside,
But I donā€™t let is show
My expression say ā€œokā€
But inside says ā€œnoā€
I show Iā€™m ok
But itā€™s feel lonely inside

Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
I used to be lover,

Now Iā€™m a hater,

My passion was to succeed,

But now I watch him bleed

Oh lord, what has come of me

Now I cope with the sound of music

Tap, Tap, Tap, inside my dull brain
By six agian!!! :/

Nothing matter anymore

Put my thoughts aside,

And sleep forever

"Why don't you just let me die?
Let me close my eyes and never open them again!
No one would care except like a few ppl
Just let me give up
Just let go of me
Please"

                            "Hey if that's what you want, I'll gladly block you on social media and ignore you at school
Not the right choice at all, but if it's what you want then yeah, I guess"

"thats not what that means at a l l"

               "Certainly what it sounds like"
                  "What does it mean then???"

Simple World
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
A girl looks out her simple window
Of her small, simple house.
On a simple street.
Full of simple trees,
Simple buildings,
Simple roads,
And stocked with not-so simple people.

Sunglasses
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
They can hide so much.
They can hide my bruises.
They can hide my tears.
They can hide my loneliness.


They hide my lies.




But, they honestly just hide my eyes.

Tell Me Everything
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
My only purpose
is to listen.
An object for people to vent to.
A video ad talking about the joys of life.
An automated voice to provide a better outlook.
A wound up toy saying the same words over and over again, forever.
A vessel for a voice with no one to talk to.
A voice almost no one has heard.

But ****, if that's all I'm here for, I'm going to try my hardest and no one can stop me.

Light in the Hall

So I can sleep.
But tonight it's open.
And there's a strange red light down the hall.

Trashpile
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
I don't have enough for a trashcan.
Or a chair.
My trashpile consists of five things:
Five pieces of paper
And me.
no i literally didnt have a trashcan until my grandma bought me one or a chair until my older sister gave me an old one when she moved out.

The Peace of Oblivion
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
What you don't know can't hurt you.
That's what I have to tell myself.
When my friend says she's been cutting.
When my friend says she's being abused.

Do they think I'm dumb?
Do they think I'm ******* dumb?
You go to one person with your problems, and that's me.
Why do you think I can't put two together?

I can't do this anymore.
You three hurt me too much.
My mom was right, you're using me.
Why am I still here?

I'm sorry,
Five.
I didn't mean to ask you of that...
But you're my new closest friend.

I swore Iā€™d protect you and I hurt you.
I swore Iā€™d get better and I couldnā€™t.
I swore Iā€™d help you and I made things worse.
I swore Iā€™d listen and I couldnā€™t take it.
I swore I loved you and I do.
I swore I wouldnā€™t let you fall and I pushed you off the cliff.

~Happy Things!~
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
Happy things are things you deserve
Not abusive friends
Not abusive parents
Not abusive partners
And you donā€™t deserve that, liebling.

Happy things are like drawing a nice thing
Like not stuttering while talking to the cashier
Like sightreading a piece by Paganini on the first try
Like finding out someone loves you back
And Iā€™m happy for you, even if someone else isnā€™t! I love your work!

Happy things are like getting over a fear of planes
A fear of people
A fear of opening up
A fear of being out there
And Iā€™m proud of you for getting over whatever it was! You improved, despite everything! Congratulations!

Happy things are like a Christmas present you always wanted
Or a birthday surprise you werenā€™t expecting
Or a popular poem you werenā€™t expecting to blow up
Or a good grade in a hard test! Good job, buddy! Iā€™m proud of you!

Happy things are knowing people are out there that want to help you!
Happy things are having people around you that care!
Happy things are getting to choose what to do without fear of being judged
Happy things arenā€™t doing things for the sake of others

Improve for the sake of you, not because someone said so.
Maybe you donā€™t want to!
But if youā€™re not hereā€¦
Wonā€™t people be wondering where you went?

No matter how small your account is on social media
No matter how little friends you have
No matter how much you think they donā€™t care
I can guarantee you, someone will be worried

But hey, what am I to tell you anything?
That wonā€™t stop me from telling you to keep up the good work, buddy!
Iā€™m proud of you for improving <3
(hehe I donā€™t make any sense)

_2:00 Here_
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
The sky is blue.
But itā€™s late at night.
I say itā€™s magic.
You say itā€™s street lights. :/
Wrote this when 1 was laying in bed with me.
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
Hereā€™s the story
of five kids.
Three girls
and one boy.
And a lonely child
whoā€™s heart I broke.

Finally, we get to the fifth.
An FTM kid.
They draw and write.
But theyā€™re on here, too.
I donā€™t want them to find out.

Iā€™ve said so much to hurt them.
All of us have said so much,
whether we meant it or not.
So, they closed themself
off from everyone.
Everyone in real life.

Iā€¦
canā€™t say anymore.
But, babe, if you see thisā€¦
Iā€™m so sorry.

I swore Iā€™d protect you and I hurt you.
I swore Iā€™d get better and I couldnā€™t.
I swore Iā€™d help you and I made things worse.
I swore Iā€™d listen and I couldnā€™t take it.
I swore I loved you and I do.
I swore I wouldnā€™t let you fall and I pushed you off the cliff.
Jeg elsker dig <3 Ich liebe dich <3 I love you <3
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
Hereā€™s the story
of five kids.
Two girls
and one boy.
And the only one
who will speak the truth.

Sadly, this is about me.
The one who speaks the truth.
A short-haired, short-figured girl
who has nothing to lose.
Maybe this shouldā€™ve been last,
but thatā€™s where the best is.

Friends say I need to eat.
Friends say I need a hug.
Friends say I need to stop.
Friends say Iā€™m too loud.
Maybe theyā€™re right.
Maybe I do need to stop.

I try to think that people care.
I try to make them believe that I care.
But when you hurt yourself,
doubt yourself,
or starve yourself,
It just makes me want to stop.

Everybody knows that Iā€™m here for them.
The fifth,
the fourth,
the third,
the first.
But whoā€™s there when I need to cry?

I try my best,
I really do.
But the only things you say are either
ā€œLizzie noā€
Or
ā€œLizzie stopā€

My only sense of help
Is the Internet and myself.
I promise Iā€™ll be fine, my friends!
I love me, okay?
Why do you think Iā€™m always up?
Why do you think I never have anything to say?

I swear I will eat.
I swear I will get a hug.
I swear I will stop.
I swear I will be quieter.
I swear I will stop hitting myself.
I swear I will respect myself more.
I swear I will protect you with everything I have.
I swear I will better myself for you.
I swear I will help you through this.
I swear I will listen to your problems.
I swear I will prove to you, once and for all, that I love you.
I swear I will not let anyone else fall because of me.

Are these promises to my friends...




or to myself?
Whoopsie doodles! That was kinda sad, but I swear Iā€™ll be fine!
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
Hereā€™s the story
of five kids.
Two girls
and one boy.
And the only one
who will speak the truth.

Hereā€™s the third.
An Italian boy.
He plays the cello, writes poems,
Watches anime and brags too much.
He seems rather confident,
But on the inside, he is not.

Much like the fourth,
he's depressed.
And much like the fifth,
he's insecure.
He doesnā€™t try to hide it, though.
E v e r y b o d y k n o w s.

Heā€™s getting help.
He has been for years.
But itā€™s just been getting worse
and everyone can tell.
I wish I could guarantee
that he is not alone.

He knows I'm always there.
A shoulder to cry on.
A pillow to hug.
But he doesnā€™t say anything.
Never.
Not unless the first talks first.

He used to make me uncomfortable
because he was weird.
Now he just makes me uncomfortable
because of his touches.
But aside from that, heā€™s amazing.
And he thinks I am, too.

He calls me Dad
and the first Mom.
I donā€™t love him like a daughter though.
More like a brother.
We look like twins, anyway.
It was just a Fourth Grade joke.

I will protect this boy with everything I have.
I will better myself for him.
I will help him through this.
I will listen to him problems.
I will prove I love him.
I will not let anyone else fall because of me.
Hehe heā€™s on here too but who says itā€™s a guy ;)
Also heā€™s not molesting me! He just does this weird thing with my knee and his hand where he spreads it out and God I hate him for that.
Lizzie Matthias Jul 2019
Hereā€™s the story
of five kids.
Two girls
and one boy.
And the only one
who will speak the truth.

Next is the fourth.
A caramel haired girl.
She draws, she writes,
she reads and plays violin.
Sheā€™s rather two-faced,
but I know who she really is.

She's suicidal.
She's depressed.
Her family is Christian
and against her loving girlfriend.
All that leads up to
ā€œthe classic slicey-dicey!ā€

She thinks that no one cares.
She knows her parents don't.
She pours out her heart to me,
her wall, and her knife.
I wish I could help guarantee,
it'll all be okay.

She knows I'm always there.
Ready to listen.
Ready to care.
Iā€™m upset she always thinks sheā€™ll hurt me.
But in her defense,
she makes me worry.

I used to be jealous of her.
She used to be afraid of me.
But now sheā€™s the dad I never had.
Caring.
Doesnā€™t make me cry.
Well, not in a bad way.

I call her Papa
And her girlfriend Mum.
I love them.
They love me.
At least...
I hope they do.

I will protect this girl with everything I have.
I will better myself for her.
I will help her through this.
I will listen to her problems.
I will prove I love her.
I will not let anyone else fall because of me.
Hehe part two with 4! Sheā€™s amazing, but she doesnā€™t think so... meh, whatever :/

Hereā€™s the story

of five kids.

Two girls

and one boy.

And the only one

who will speak the truth.



Weā€™ll start with the newest.

A tall Christian girl.

She wears glasses, likes books,

and likes to draw.

She seems happy enough,

no matter how quiet she seems.



But sheā€™s never happy,

never been alright.

Too much pressure.

Too many people.

She tries to make others happy

for the price of her own.



She felt forgotten by her family.

Forgotten by her friends.

Forgotten by her classmates.

Forgotten by the world.

I wish I could guarantee

that sheā€™s not.



She knows Iā€™m always there.

Always active.

Always awake.

And I'm glad that she does.

But then she breaks

like a clay piggy bank.



Iā€™ve only known her a year

but Iā€™d trust her with my life.

Sheā€™s like a mom to me.

Kind.

Doting.

But in a good way.



I call her Mum

and her girlfriend Papa.

I love them.

They love me.

At least...

I hope they do.



I will protect this girl with everything I have.

I will better myself for her.

I will help her through this.

I will listen to her problems.

I will prove I love her.

I will not let anyone else fall because of me.
Hej! First poem on here, hah. Hope it's good! It's part of a series too, I have it all written down! :D
