I remember

I remember when I was in the hospital and I didn't sleep for two days straight because I swore to god that if I did the demons would step out from under the bed and seep into my head.

I remember when it was three am, and I was shaken awake from the girl three doors down shrieking from the night terrors that her mother embedded into her skull with her fist and a belt when she was eight. But, they were then stored away until she was thirteen years old and a man swore that he'd beat her if she didn't cooperate. So, now they hide during the day, and creep back up when the sun falls.

I remember when I witnessed a boy unintentionally scratch at his skin until he bleed for an hour because the voices inside of his mind told him that if he didn't hurt anyone else, he would just have to hurt himself. and he swears he'd never hurt anyone besides himself.

I remember when I met a girl who had cuts up and down her arms and legs from when her mother told her she'd never survive the world because she isn't good enough. But, I swear to god that she was the strongest person I've ever met.

I remember when my roommate stayed up all night rocking with bloodshot eyes and deep purple circles underneath of them because she swore that if she slept the monsters inside of her head would crawl out and bleed into her soul.

I remember when the boy five doors down hit the wall so hard that it shook the entire unit because he hallucinated a man and a little girl trying to strangle him, and he swore he could feel the noose around his neck.  

even through all of this, for some odd reason teenagers think it's lovely to have deep scars and to hear voices telling them to **** themselves and everyone around them. I swear, nothing is lovely about demons eating at your brain and thoughts.

I remember when it was four am, and I was up weeping from the fact that people think my suffering is lovely.

I can swear to you, it's not.
***** hiding that I went to a mental ward. because I think that this is the best poem I've ever written.

The voice
You
clearly
stated it
and declared
that you would
never give up on me
And I believe that you will
soon fulfill that promise to me
I have fought and a have fell in the
darkness of a hurting heart, I admit that
there were times, when I doubted your presence
I ask for the forgiveness that I really do not deserve
I ask for the redemption that I have not earned at all
I have tried to make amend for the things that I can not
control, and for the decisions that I once took out of impulse
I ask for a word that will give hope, and I try to see how this can
make you love me just a little more than how you loved me yesterday!
But the thing is, I can not do, something as crazy as that, for you
Have loved me the same in every day, the same as every day
You have given me the times and patience and the liberty
To fight for my life, I cant help but to drop some tears
at remembering all those times when I was hiding,
you came to me and took me out of a pattern
And changed me into a lady and a true
witness of your love. I was not  able
to see it before but now I have
my chance, I love you, like
I have never loved any-
one else, I love you
because you have
loved me first
and you have
been here
all this
time
with
Me

— The End —
