A Reminder
Barker May 2018
Be kind to yourself,
And if you ever feel like you're going to hurt yourself
Just remember that I'm here
And I care about you
And what you're doing.
Listen to these words before you put
That blade to your wrist,
Or before you take those pills.
Every time you hurt yourself,
You hurt me.
Let me help you heal.
Let me kyss your wounds better.
You don't have to be embarrassed around me.
I know that you have scars on your wrist from previous hardships.
I'm here to help you.
Not to make you worse.
I'll listen to you
Please just give me a chance.

Just Thinking About You
Barker May 2018
Dearest Darling,

I’m writing this for you because every ounce of breath you take is a representation of how many times you’ve taken my breath away. Although you may not see and I may be biased you are the greatest being that has every roamed these grounds in this generation. You are a magnificent piece of madness and I love you. Me being a hopeless romantic and a sentimentalist, doesn't mean that I’m good at expressing my fondness for you. I treasure every moment I have with you because these moments are the ones that bring me back to reality when my mind is clouded with darkness. You are the only one who truly knows me and hasn’t ran away. I am still amazed that you are still here with me. Hand in Hand, Heart to heart. It is just you, me versus the world. I will always be with you.. So, when the cold starts to come and you just need a place to be warm come on closer for it feels like home. I can’t wait for the experiences to come and the adventure that awaits us. It is funny how much I can miss you for I never deemed it possible until it happened. You have showed me how enjoyable life is. I used to think that I could get by in this world alone, but you showed me that it didn’t have to be that way. You showed me that together we are stronger. Onlookers will give us disgusting looks but we know that they are just jealous. I will always be here for you. You can put the blame on me and I will always forgive you, because I value our friendship more than the little actions that would be considered unacceptable and friendship breakers by others. I know that life treats you unfairly sometimes, but I will always stand by you. Even in your darkest hour. These words on this page do not even come close to justifying my feelings for you. These words are as perfectly imperfect as me and I hope that it is enough for I only have these words to trade for your love.

Kiss me hardy,
Merry Christmas!!!

You should never hide your feelings.

You IX
Barker May 2018
When I look at you
I see your beauty and grace
And I know I have spent
Every life before this one
Searching for you,
Not someone like you,
But you

Rambles
Barker May 2018
People who make you laugh are more precious than all the wealth in the world.
Friends are reflections of the best parts of you.
You are worth more than anything in the world.
Talking to strangers is how you make friends.
Love is only as real as you want it to be.
Rain is beautiful and so are you.

The World Is Like Oceans

Clay
Barker May 2018
People are like clay.
We can mold to adapt.
We can change how we look,
But not what we are made of;
And if we are left uncared for
We become as hard as rocks,
And that's the tragedy of living.

Future
Barker May 2018
The course of the future lies in your hands.
You have tow choices,
You can change the future for better or worse,
Or you can ignore your calling and let this opportunity go to waste.

Please

Just breathe. You're okay. I'm here. Come back. It's over. You're okay. Wake up. You can do this. Just open your eyes. Come back to me. Please don't do this. Please wake up. I love you so much. Please come back to me. I can't do this without you. Please. Please. I'm begging you.

Lock and Key

She is still guarded
Because many thieves
Came in before you
And broke her trust
And vandalized her mind
She is still recovering
From those who had
Stolen her heart and mind

Crossroads
Barker May 2018
You’re standing in front of me,
Every nerve in my body is pulsing.
There is an invisible force that is pulling me towards you.
Where do I go from here?
We’ve done this before and I was left to bleed.
How do I turn around and choose myself over you,
When you are standing inches away from me.
You are everything I want but not everything I need.

Her
Barker May 2018
Her
She reminds me of a cool summers breeze,
Or that feeling you get when you watch the sun set or rise.
She is the feeling of beauty and simplicity.
She is the feeling of awe and amazement that you get when you look into her eyes.
She is the air that I breath.
She is the feeling of joy when you dance around in the rain.
She is the fire that keeps you warm on a cold winter's day.
She is the very essence of my happiness,
And I love her with every piece of my heart, mind and soul.

Despair II
Barker May 2018
It was during times where we would fight over the smallest thing,
That I knew I loved you,
Because at that time I wanted to scream and cry,
But I also wanted to wrap you up in a tight hug,
And whisper how much I love you

Love III

An invisible thread
Ties us together.

It is delicate,
Yet when treated
Properly it is strong.

It is the product
Of our

For You II
Barker May 2018
I promise that one day I'll be around
I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you sound

Right now it's pretty crazy
And I don't know how to stop or slow it down

Hey
I know there are some things we need to talk about

And I can't stay
Just let me hold you for a little longer now

Take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart

You'll never be alone
When you miss me close your eyes
I may be far but never gone

When you fall asleep tonight just remember that we lay under the same stars

So take a piece of my heart
And make it all your own
So when we are apart
You’ll never be alone

Frankenstein
Barker May 2018
You've caused me to become a demon,

I don't know what's wrong with me,

I just know that I don't care about anything anymore.

My feelings are as cold as ice,

What do you see when you look into my eyes?

Do you see hatred?

Or am I a stranger?

The old me is dead,

You've murdered me,

And now, I am your nightmare.

Memories
Barker May 2018
I remember
Those many nights
Where I would just sit on the floor
And look up at the ceiling
My body would be cold to the touch
I was alone and lonely
Sitting in the dark
Tears slowly dripping
Down the side of my cheek

I remember
How empty I felt
And how life seemed to be pointless
How much pain and anger I kept inside
How in those moments
The only I thing I would wish for
Was to be dead

I remember that you weren't there for me

I remember how alone I was and how much I needed you

I remember

Let you down
Barker May 2018
I guess I'm a disappointment,
I don't want to do anything to disappoint you,

I just didn't want me to be an issue for you.
I'm paranoid, what did I do wrong this time?

All these voices in my head get loud.
I wish I could shut them out.

I'm sorry that I
Let
You
Down

You Know Who You are
Barker May 2018
You let me free,
Yet you keep me chained.
I don't know what I did to deserve this.

You let me fly,
But kept me on a leash.
So there was no where I could go.

Why do you tease me with
Bits of freedom,
Only to take it away from me?

Shield
Barker May 2018
You said you would protect me,
Yet you don't know what I am fighting.

I'm fighting someone smarter than me,
Someone who knows my every move.

I'm fighting someone who has known me longer than I have,
Someone who knows everything that is haunting me.

This "someone" I'm fighting is not someone you can protect me from,
Because how can you protect someone,
When the person they are fighting are themselves?

Tick
Tock

I listen to the steady beat of the clock
I’m sitting on my bed
Starring into empty space

I never thought I would be the one
To hurt you

I keep listening to the clock
The sound soothes me

Until I hear them
Creeping under the door
They are surrounding me

I become paralyzed
They whisper words to me

I see them
They are haunting me

I can’t do this
I can’t live with this
What have I done?

You say you don’t understand what I see in you. My response is plain and simple as you. I see a girl desperately trying to find her voice. I see someone who has been through a lot. I see someone who doubts everything they do. I see someone who hates their body and themselves. I see you. And to me that’s everything. I see your smile. I see your laugh. I see your eyes and your freckles. I see what you are capable of. I see the potential you have to be something great. Sure, sometimes you are a bit of a mess, but that’s okay. Because I’m not looking for someone perfect. I’m looking for someone like you.
