Bearing physical pain is easier
than emotional pain because
physical pain hurts for awhile and
disappears.
emotional pain hurts, and then lingers,
never really going away.

you're getting to be tired with me
i can see it in your actions,
in your words
but most of all, lying in your eyes
and i'm not as hurt
as i thought i would be.

On my knees in prayer
I feel full of despair
Does God even care
Watching my life tear

But before you spite the Lord
Listen to my word
I'll be Very forward

People pray
Everyday
Some are straight
Others are gay

Some pray for riches
Others pray for *******

A truly special prayer
Is made in the middle of nowhere
By a brave yet scared soldier
Who's family is his care

God Will protect.
A soldier has respect
His prayers to never neglect

God knows our stories.
He knows our worries.
But even God has priorities
**** those people who said it only gets better.
They lied to us.
They lied to you and me
and all the other kids with tear soaked cheeks
and problems with substances/self harm/depression.

It gets better
but its got to get bad first.

It took me years of tears to realize
that things will get better.
They will.
They may get worse first,
they may stay the same for a while,
they may get better and return ten times worse
but they will get better.
They have to.

The more I search for you,
The less of you I see.
The more I wait,
The longer time becomes.

I’ve lost half my body weight
Straight out through my eyes,
Pushing my fingers into my forehead
In attempts to hold it together.

It’s been a while since my lips were smooth.

My logic tells me to do things.
Go places.
See people.

My emotions say **** that.

My body says move.
Enjoy.
Dance.

My emotions say **** that, too.

Looking at myself from outside,
I’m a wreck.

And all my mind can say is:
No one like a wreck.

No one likes, disheveled hair, broken nails, chipped polish, tear swollen face, lazy thighs, slumping slouch posture, unkempt clothing. Sad eyes.

No one likes what sadness looks like.
I give my best to make them satisfied
I do what ever it takes just to see them smile
I never say no if they ask me to do a favor
I never turn my bach to them
Is it the truth ; can you tell me if I'm a good friend?!
But I never found a friend beside me in my need
They turn all against me !!
what  I did to them ?!
Is it the truth ; they want me just for their egos ?!
am I good just for their needs?!
I guess yes ; it's the truth ; there's no good friend in my life except the Only ONE  . My best friend
He's not like the rest in my life
He always try to make me smile ; and I do the same ..
nothing can change this relation which last forever ... (I hope)
Its the truth .. There's a best friends in life..
Its time to change this life I live
All I need is my BEST FRIEND
True ; honest ; funny ... is my best friend.
Yes it's the truth .. I don't need others want just when they need something .... who wants them
they don"t last forever
yes it's the truth .. I only want to live beside my Best Friend ... and I'll stay beside him .. I'll do What ever it takes .. for him <3

I can still see the scars
From where I cut and burned myself
There dark circles around my eyes
My lips are chapped
My knuckles are bruised
And my cheeks are hollowed out
This is not beautiful

I sleep on your side of the bed
I look at our old pictures
I walk the paths we used to
Hand in hand together
And smoke pack after pack of cigarettes
To keep the taste of you on my tongue
This is not romantic

Anger is crawling up my throat
Trying to find an escape
Depression is seeping into my bones
Crushing me with it’s weight and desperation
Anxiety is crippling so much
That even the thought of speaking out loud causes me to panic
This is not poetic

Pain is not beauty
Heartbreak is not romantic
Mental illness is not poetic
If you want the hell
That you call quirks
Have mine
I can’t live with them anymore
