Amanda In Scarlet

4am, awake again.
It is hard to hold onto the self
When engulfed in pain,
The essence of me,
Overwhelmed by analgesics.
Fight, fight, fight,
Everything will be alright.
Time enough to shed this murky shroud,
For now, coffee, codeine, carry on.

Silence

Silence

Silence
is
Bad

Because
then
I
have
time
to
think
about
how
I
am
not
good
enough

About
how
I
am
unwanted

In
the
silence
is
when
my
thoughts
are
loudest
when
my
monsters
decide
to
come
out

And
with
silence
comes
violence

(a.d)

BEAUTIFUL DISASTER

⠀
             ⠀
               ⠀            you
                   have bright eyes
                              and
                    lips that spelled
                       d i s a s t e r
