Grasp anything sharp in my fist
Press it to your skin
                           It’s pure bliss
Bubbles of blood start to seep out
Releasing your struggles
                   and
                        Self doubt
When I was younger I used to cut or burn myself on purpose to release the pain about anything I was dealing with at the time. Always hurt but also felt so good. So many people struggle with self harm to their bodies. I used to be one of them.

Take me back to my younger days
Where I danced and sang for hours everyday
Not having a care in the world except “does he know my name?”
Maybe one day my name will be in lights and I’ll rise to
               FAME
      Short and skinny
         Blonde hair blue eyes
Is all they saw, guess their just being “one of the guys”
If I could go back I would just be me
Following my heart dancing to reach my
               DREAMS
Just thinking about where I would be if I pursued my dancing career instead of focused on “boys” and being popular in high school many years ago. I am happy with my life and where I am today but who doesn’t think back to where they were many years ago?

Internal feelings we don’t want to face
Filled like cobwebs in a dark cool place
Stores up like memory on a computer hard drive
Taking up such massive wasted space...

Delete the storage into the trash
Let it all go, don’t bring it up and rehash

Face your feelings but don’t hold back
Take a journey on a different track

We all have SCARS
Whether
         Physical
              or
          Mental
The difference is
If you chose to
Embrace them
Or hide them from the world

Electricity illuminating through the air
Small fireworks paint colors into the dark sky
Pure bliss for us to deliver our ideas
To light up the sky for everyone to see

Waking up
Watching the news and all you see
So many mass casualties
Motor vehicles mulling people down
Someone opening fire in a busy store
Young kids damaging others property
Innocent people living in fear
It’s sad to see that terror trumps the good happening around the world recently
