Second choice
Ashley Jerome Aug 2019
I'm so tired of being a second choice
Don’t tell me I’m not because that’s what I’m feeling right now Whenever she’s not there you always come and run to me and act like you never left me in the first place
Whenever she’s not there, you now remember my presence; in which you forget the first time we just met
Whenever she’s not around, that's when you come and talk to me and use me as entertainment
I'm not her
I’m not as good as her
I’m not pretty like her
I can’t be her
I'll never be her
You can’t comfort me by saying I’m not
Saying that you really cared for me
Saying that I'll always remember you whenever I left or whatever I just disappeared
Saying you love me even though you really don’t
You can’t comfort me anymore because I know what the truth is, and I really think I’m not worth saving
I’m a second choice
And whenever she’s with us, I’ll always be

Rainbow Suicide
Ashley Jerome Dec 2018
Red were the roses, the ones I left on your casket,
Orange were the leaves, the ones in your tree,
Yellow were the bruises, the ones that covered you head-to-toe,
Green were the stains, the ones left on the hems of your jeans,
Blue were your lips, the day you were found in your noose,
Indigo was the night sky, that night that you died,
Violet was that bruise, the one you wore around your neck
by Alice Thyne, but i can relate so much

im...
Ashley Jerome Dec 2018
I'm the ugly sister
I'm the horrible daughter
I'm not even the second choice
I'm the "leftover"..
I'm not the clever one
I'm not the skinny one
I'm the talentless one.
I'm the "why are you even here?"

Why...
Ashley Jerome Dec 2018
the scars that you see
they were all made by me
and the tears have turned red
with the blood that i've shed
people think i'm lost to the madness
but really, I'm just cloaked in sadness
i could use a rope or i could use a knife
looking back on my whole life
i see the pain and i see the hurt
i feel my heart is about to burst
the blood will flow
why can't they see
that all my life
i've been afraid of
...
me

That girl...
Ashley Jerome Dec 2018
that girl in your class,
she has good grades,
she doesn't even have to try.

that girl in your class,
she has seemingly amazing friends
that care about her

that girl in your class,
she has scars;
lines marking her body
and friends that don't notice
and some don't care

that girl in your class,
doesn't remember
what it's like not to cry.
she cries herself to sleep
every night.

Heaven was needing a hero
Ashley Jerome Nov 2018
I came by today to see you
Though I had to let you know
If I knew the last time that I held you was the last time
I'd have held you and never let go
Oh it's kept me awake night wonderin'
I lie in the dark, just asking why?
I've always been told you won't be called home until it's your time
I guess Heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it through
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you
I remember the last time I saw you
Oh you held your head up proud
I laughed inside when I saw how you were standing out in the crowd
You're such a part of who I am
Now that part will just be void
No matter how much I need you now
Heaven needed you more
'Cause Heaven was needing a hero
Somebody just like you
Brave enough to stand up for what you believe and follow it though
When I try to make it make sense in my mind
The only conclusion I come to
Is that Heaven was needing a hero like you
Yes, Heaven was needing a hero, that's you
This is by Jo Dee Messina but this makes me think of Angel

Go Away
Ashley Jerome Nov 2018
"Go Away"
is just a
lonely person's
way of saying
"Show me that you care enough to stay"

Suicide
Ashley Jerome Nov 2018
some slash their wrist,
ingest a bottle of pills,
jump off a high rise building,
hang themselves, or
blow their brain off.
and in that moment,
when they are bleeding to death,
closing their eyes for the last time,
hanging loose in the air,
about to let their weight drop
and let that
bullet pierce through their skull
are moments, they fell the most alive
maybe suicide
is meant for that
so very "special moment",
to feel alive
just once before
you cease to exist

Words can have two meanings
Ashley Jerome Oct 2018
I'm fine = I'm not fine. Please help me.
I'm just tired = I can't take this anymore.
I already ate = I starve myself.
Go away = Show me you care enough to stay.
I'm just cold = I don't want you to see my scars.
I'm better, I promise = I've never been this bad.
I'm okay = I just want to die.
I can relate so much that it is sad
Ashley Jerome Oct 2018
Even if you
can not hear
my voice,
I'll be right
beside you
this is for you- XII - V - MMXVII, I should have saved you
Oct 2018 · 169
Because of you
Ashley Jerome Oct 2018
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night to sleep
I was so young
You should have known
Better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same **** thing

How did we not see it...
Ashley Jerome Oct 2018
No one suspected it...
the smile on her lips
the laugh
her sarcasm
her big heart
those beautiful eyes...
Were there to hide her darkest secrets
Oct 2018 · 665
She's so gone
Ashley Jerome Oct 2018
She's gone
She's gone too far deep that
No one can save her
All you see left
is
A shell of the independent girl
that is now scarred with
invisible and visible
batte scars
Ashley Jerome Oct 2018
What do you see when you see her...
A smart, amazing, independent women who is there
for anyone?
OR
The depressed, bullied girl with
Scars dripping blood
and bruises
scattered on her body

— The End —
