Twist with your wrist
The dagger into me
Red pours out
Looks like I can still bleed
You smile, I laugh
The pain sets me free
Was going to be longer, but I'm lazier than usual lately, sorry -- not sorry.

Have I ever told you guys how much I love toast?
'Cause, like, I really dig toast, ya know?

Darling, we're insanity.
I come back to listen
To you whisper your sweet nothings,
Then get a backhand to the face.
I know "you have the capacity to change,"
I mutter to myself, the whole way
To and back from your place.
I tell myself "it won't always be this way,"
One of these days,
My blood soaked clothes
A trail upon your floor,
You'll beg me to stay.
You're so painful.

i suppose i am composed
of some of my mother
and parts of my father
no matter how i try to shed them both
i am warped by premature exposure
to prostitution and *******
my veins are ***** from
the needles i don't use
and my head is clear from
the pills i don't take
painted skin covers
the pale emptiness
my skin as a canvas
that all too accurately reflects
the blank white nothing inside of me
cruel hope after hope that's been
left to disappoint
disapproval of myself end to end
fiber to fiber is deemed inadequate
so focus outward forget about this body
how to impact the world
how to change the world
how to fix the world
I don't know, okay? It was an attempt. :I
Thanks to konr and Creep for putting this out.

When I grow up I want to be a builder
I can create happiness and love
But only for a while, it's so unstable.

When I grow up I want to demolish my buildings
I'm great a destroying relationships
And breaking my own heart.

When I grow up I want to be an artist
And draw strokes and lines of red
On my paper skin

When I grow up I want to be a writer
I can write stories of drama and pain
And of my own misery

When I grow up I want to travel
I want to go from life into death
And see the white light.
Something I thought of yesterday at like midnight while lying in the dark and staring at my ceiling and listening to depressing musics like always

Stop
Stop
Stop
Pretending
Everyone just stop
I pretend to be okay
You pretend that you care
He pretends he's going to stay
Everyone just stop
Pretending
Stop
Stop
Stop
No.

Hurry up
And you can watch me
Drown myself

As I give up
On life
And everything else

not everyone who holds a pen is a writer.
not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey.
not everyone who clips their toenails is a podiatrist.
not everyone who smokes knows the feeling.
not everyone who chokes is a sadist.
not everyone who lies is an actor.
not everyone who wears a moustache is a communist.
not everyone who smiles is the sunlight.
not everyone who tries is a failure.
not everyone who shouts knows the silence.
not everyone who cries knows depression.
not everyone who laughs gets the joke.
not everyone who speaks is a teacher.
not everyone who hears truly listens.
not everyone who died really lived.

A life time ago I was sad like now
Because I didn't know you
I want us to be together forever
But I want you to love me too

A year ago we were each others forever
But I wish you were still here
I miss you every single day I live
And I wish we were together, clear?

A month ago you told me you loved me
I did believe you
And now I see you forgetting
Everything we have been through.

A week ago I saw you talk to her
I hated myself so much
And I realized that I am the one
Who has always been your crutch.

A day ago I gave you a hug
And I felt the sparks
I want us to always be here
without any broken marks.

A hour ago you broke me
Telling her about love
She told me what you said to her
Now, Ill see you in above.

A minute ago i realized some things
I want you in my life
But honestly I'm done with you
And I wish I had a knife.

You said you cared once
I wish you'd keep telling me that
Instead of *there's nothing I care about
Last night.
Hahaha, I'm going mad.
I'm full of *****.
Kiss me before I **** me?

So many misinterpreted metaphors
make me cringe
''are you trying to ruin poetry for everyone''
but I hide my damp eyes behind my fringe
because I mustn't argue and my teachers are never wrong
They sing without a meaning or lyric in their song
we are taught to write what they want to hear
not the truth we feel inside our hopes and fears

But i must turn the other cheek
to get my degree I need..when home I ponder, I weep
because it was the school that killed poetry
for many of my peers..
But all is not lost..wipe away those tears
Grab the pen that feels ethical
the paper that doesn't deceive, doesn't lie
and write a poem that you can feel
you'll get out of school alive
(You know who you are who started this haha!)..Don't get me wrong I love teachers in general..I plan on becoming an awesome one someday too :)
