GENIE
I do my best to hide my pain
They see my eyes wild and grand
They say I'm insane
I congratulate myself amid their reprimand
I've  successfully contained my pain
They never understand
So, I never explain
They can't stop my campaign brand
Neither can the pain
I
Like I am standing
in the pouring rain
I am soaked
in your love
You promised not to
let go
You promised not to
regret

You promised you'll never
look back
You promised you'll never
stop

You promised not to
break me
You promised not to
rip my heart

You promised you'll never
make me cry
You promised you'll never
leave me

You promised not to ever break any of your promises
Your words not mine
You can always tell a self destructive writer
By their poetry

Because sometimes they are redundant
And other times they are expressing pain

But they always tell a story of being hurt
And locked into their own head

But this my dear, is why they write
Because the person in their head is trying to get out

Self destructive writers
Are usually dark

But when they are light
They tell you how perfect you are

So that you don't do the same thing
That they did to themselves

Self destructive writers
Don't want you to make their scars
On your arms
To all those out there who are this way, trust  in your loved ones, you will get out of this. Thank you for encouraging other people to be who they are.
Dear me,
You’ve been through a lot. I
know it’s hard
But I’m so proud of who you
Are.
You are strong, brave, bright
And smart and you
Were given the gift of a
Beautiful heart. So keep
Going strong and try not to
Stray
Everything you’re praying
For is on it’s way
My strength did not
come from lifting weights.
My strength came from
lifting myself up every time
I was knocked down.
the sun's beaming face
did smile upon the landscape
with a bright visage
