To
From the scars
On my thighs
To the thoughts
And the sighs
To the nights
That I’ve cried
To the people
That I’ve lied
To the smile
I’ve perfected
My secret shield
I’m always protected
To my wish
For the end
A silent plea
That I send
To the pain
That I hold
To a life
Never told
To the reader
Of theses words
Please know
Your voice has been heard
Bethany Jul 2018
Here I am again
The night lingering
Taunting me with ideas
Hope shaded by the moon

Here I go again
The day rising
Beckoning me to join
Promise wrapped in sunlight

Here I fall again
The life wasted
Pushing me to the limit
It’s the end of time
Bethany Jul 2018
I blame the cat
If anyone asks
He’s so rambunctious
His claws are sharp

I just moved
If anyone asks
The boxes were heavy
I lift with my legs

Who knows I say
If any one asks
I’m super clumsy
Always bumping into things

No worries
If anyone asks
They bring relief
Keep me off the ledge

Lovers
Inaccurate
Because they don’t
Love me
That is
More apt
To call
Them
attempters
As they sampled
And found
I wasn’t
To their liking
I’m not
Everyone’s
Cup of tea

Rain already!
Let it go
Stop holding back
The inevitable
I’m waiting
Palms ups
To feel you
To be engulfed
Cleansed
Of the sins
I never committed

Cat
Nothing
Says lonely female
Better than a
Cat

Nothing
Dismisses you
Better than
A cat

Nothing
Tolerates  you
Better than
A cat

Nothing
Loves you
Better than
A cat

A drag across the skin
Barely a mark
When the it takes place
But the release is golden
Like exhaling
After being underwater
A moment of euphoria
To feel so alive
Human again
Almost normal
The prickles succumb
Tomorrow
I’ll addrss the aftermath
I’ll clean it up
Maybe a bandaid
As I retreat
Back to me
