suicide is never the easy way out
it seems like it is
but it never is
you'll leave behind a wave of pain
a hurt that will rob everyone of a certain kind of happiness
it will cause others to ache deep within
they'll never repair themselves
your sadness will be theirs **forever
take it from someone who's tried to commit suicide
Tab Feb 2016
Drink
Drank*
Drunk
Trying to forget your face
but I can still see it in
the bottom of ***** bottles
Tab Apr 2016

you will never stop growing
and growing
and growing
and growing
*until you reach the sun

Why isn't it a fairytale?
Why is it a horror show?
Tab Feb 2016
You're gonna find people you'll miss
People who make your bones ache when they are gone
People who make you feel at home even when you're a 1000 miles away
They're gonna show you how to grow flowers in the middle of January
Smile lines will tattoo themselves onto your face
You'll forget about the darkness behind you
Focusing on the sunrise in front of you
Don't worry about temporary people because no matter where you go
**You're gonna find people you'll miss
Tab Mar 2016
I'M HIgh
I took all my medication at once
I feel nothing
but I feel like I'm floating
I can't feel my bones
but my feet are cold
is this what its like to be an angel?
an angel on 10 different pills
floating above everyone
maybe, darling I wasn't meant to walk on this world
I really am high
Tab Oct 2016
can i get a deathbed for one?
and that’s not just a metaphor
i know it looked like i was getting better
but this has been a long time coming
i always said that i wanted to die young to save myself
an excerpt from my 2nd book
Tab Jan 2016
Someone once asked me what it felt like to be depressed.
I replied "I don't know"
Someone once asked me what it felt like to be depressed.
I replied "it's like drowning while someone stands two inches away from you screaming just swim"
Someone once asked me what it felt like to be depressed.
I replied "like an empty dark void"
Someone once asked me what it felt like to be depressed.
I replied "it feels like I'm screaming for help but everyone has me on mute"
These are various answeres I've given people about my depression
Tab Jan 2016
Simple, there shouldn't be any thought behind it. Just a quick action, a peck on the lips to ring in the new year. But I can't push my way over to you before the clock strikes midnight. She's already there, already taken my place. Already forgetting last years memories and letting someone hold your future in their hand. I make everything complicated but I loved you with everything I had in me just to watch it drop to the floor in a 10 second count down. Happy new year to you and happy new year to me
I've been writing about you a lot today. I'll miss you next year
Tab Feb 2016
She danced in the midnight light
The night engulfing her
Her love came in waves
*A goddess of lost souls
One
Tab Jan 2016
One
You melted the ice around my heart
Separting all the bad from the good
Then slowly welded our souls together
Making 2 halves a whole
Tab Dec 2015
was it optional for you to do that?
for you to pretend to care
care about the stars
the moon
the milky way
was it optional for you to just pick what time was best
to tear me to shreds
3:12PM
6:48AM
12:02AM
11:12PM

was it an option
or did you plan this
I'm not thinking clearly right now so I'm just typing
Tab Apr 2016
dress torn
underwear ripped
knees forced open
loud sobs fill the room
"shut the **** up"
she stills
begging to a god she didn't know she believed in to end it all
grunts and groaning
its over
"later babe"
she leaves behind ****** sheets, her cellphone, and a *piece of herself
Tab Feb 2016
My parents fell out of love
I don't remember when it happen but it did
One day they held each other
Then the next day they held each other at the throat
I promised I'd never let that happen to me
I'd love with my whole being
I'd rot away with my lover into a next life
Letting the sweet feeling get trapped in my bones
Tab Dec 2015
Come over and peel away my skin
layer by layer
you won't find bones or muscles
you won't find viens or nerves
you'll find strings of anxiety
you'll find long lines of worries
all held together by rusted nails
Tab Jan 2016
I start every poem with you
Thoughts are spastic
rolling through my head
Trying to clutch onto something
But there wasn't anything to grab
My bed reminded me that you weren't coming back
so I slept on the floor
I can't escape
So I end every poem with you
Tab Aug 2016
words flow from my mind to the tips of my fingers
first jumbled on the page, slowly fixing themselves
you, the reader soak up my words, digest them
giving the words a meaning, you bring my words to life
taking in the love that i've left on the page
Tab Dec 2015
You are a certain type of something
You left empty picture frames and broken glass when you disappeared
On Sunday mornings your drowned yourself in liquor and honey, never giving a **** what anyone had to say.
Intimacy to you was a soft spoken poem that you wrote half drunk in the middle of the day.
Dancing around the living room in the middle of the night, singing the words to the song at the top of your lungs
Jesus Christ you're so ******* beautiful
Being with you was like driving right into oncoming traffic.

Blue circle pills
Piling up on my counter
Little and numbing
I'm depressed
When did that happen?
1 white pill
2 yellow pills
I take these in the morning
In the evening I take more
3 more white pills
1 tiny blue pill
I let the blue pill melt on my tongue
In half an hour I'm numb and exhausted
Day in and Day out
More pills

Tab Jan 2016
More pills
More colors
3 yellow ones
2 blue and white capsules
3 white ones
No more blue pill
The blue one was hurting me
I was hearing voices
I was seeing ghosts
My doctored said it was normal
But changed the dose anyway
I don't see voices
Or hear the ghosts anymore
I can't feel my fingertips
And I sleep for 16 hours
Another refill
Another pill
Pill after pill
31 days until the next refill
Tab Feb 2016
Numb

The medicine is eating away parts of my brain
Slowly turning me into a rotting pile of bones
Artificially filling in all the cracks
Time for another pill
Pill after pill

Yellow pill
White pill
There goes my refill
Tab Oct 2016
you left a bittersweet taste in my mouth
that i can't seem to rinse out
moon dust covers my room
and it makes me
miss you in the most peculiar way
Tab Jan 2016
Flowers grew where you stood and gardens grew wherever you would walk
When you touched me flowers grew in my veins and weeds clung to my lungs
After you left the flowers and weeds died
Replaced with longing, a longing that grew from the inside out.
But I wouldn't change a thing because for a short period of time
You left spectacular gardens on my skin
Tab Jan 2016
She's better on paper
wandering the city
mumbling to herself
taking blurry pictures of strangers
writing fleeting thoughts on the backs of her hands
messy bun coming undone
she's trying to keep it together with pens
but she's better on paper
she's an afterthought, a last minute thought
but she just laughs as they all whisper saying
"She's better on paper"
Tab Jan 2016
I'm a shipwreck
Not a traditional wreck
No I'm shipwrecked on the beach
My lungs are full of sand
The sun is burning my eyes
I can't see the world around me
I don't want to go down with this ******* ship
I consider myself a shipwreck
Tab Feb 2016

Chasing depression with a dream of better days

Tab Feb 2016
SOS
I'm not great with words
I left behind a morse code instead
hoping, praying
someone would find my SOS
Tab Aug 2016
you stole my heart out of my chest
and sold it to the highest bidder
make sure to tell them to hide it under the floorboards
and to wait until the man with the raven come to the door
he’ll be the one saying nevermore
nevermore
*nevermore

Depression ft anxiety
its one hell of a show
ups and downs
you can binge watch it for days
weeks
months
**even years
Tab Jan 2016
Ripping poetry books up
Eating yellow paint hoping to lighten up
Nothing is making sense
Do you understand this poem?
Ripping the filters off cigarettes
Saving flowers from an old lover
Strung out on nothing
I don't even understand this poem
It's pointless
Just like you and I
Tab Jan 2016
Everything about her was dark
From her inky black hair to her sharp black nails
She was a blown out star, a supernova
Darkness oozed from her pores, she was wildly in love with her madness
She's always rooting for the dark side
Strung out on the idea that her demons would take her home one day
this is pointless but these words are sitting on my chest
Tab Mar 2016
i've died 1000 times
climbed to the top of every mountain and jumped off
eaten a cyanid pill
played in traffic with my eyes closed
waltzed with the devil in the middle of hell
but none of those compare to dying in your arms
drowning in your exquisite love
Tab Dec 2015
I'm constantly swimming
Swimming in thoughts of you
In the lake you made by hand
Soaking my clothes with thoughts of you
Soaking my bones
I'm starting to sink now
because I always drown when I think of you
Tab Jan 2016
Lying dormant for years
Hiding from shame and blame
The sun is slowly setting
Shunning the world that now sits in ruins
Loved ones are out of reach now
There's no more time for hiding
You have to fight back
**The time is now
This is a star wars themed poem but its directed at my mental health
Tab Jan 2016
I'm afraid of the new year
I'm not afraid of what it will bring
I'm afraid of what the old year will leave behind
Confetti made from pictures of you and I covers the street.
People always say new year, new me but what if I don't want to be new?
What if I'm afraid of what being new means?
Tab Jan 2017
do you hear that?
that sickly sweet siren song?
she's singing to you
begging you to join her
let's get lost
Tab Dec 2015
this has no purpose
just words strung together
to remove some dead feelings from my chest
its not working
Tab Feb 2016
Love is just another word
4 letters
A chemical reaction
Dopamine, addictive as *******
Norepinephrine, adrenaline
Serotonin, can make one temporarily insane
Love is a science, not a poem
Its not passion its a reaction
This is an explanation
Not a love poem
I don't want to love you anymore
Tab Jan 2016
You made me laugh in 5 minutes
You made me think about the future in 2 hours
You kept me awake until 1AM
You showed me how to smile again in 10 hours
Now I have you on my mind 24 hours
Tab Dec 2015
You gave me just enough rope to hang myself
Tab Dec 2015
We run in the same circles
I figured this would happen
That I couldn't avoid you forever
I watched as temporary girls clung to you
I pretended not to notice
I smiled too brightly and laughed too loudly
Hoping to that I could cause the same ache in your chest that was living in mine
But I had to tell myself that even though you were here you weren't here for me
Tab Dec 2015
The moonbeams cascade over me and wash me out.
Allowing me to become a silhouette, simply fading away.
The sea salt air wraps around me and whips my hair around me.
Walking into December ocean, my blood freezes.
A ghost smile forms on my face relishing in the last moments of life
The water is up to my neck and I can't feel my finger tips anymore
Taking one last look at the moon, allowing the bright moonbeams stream down on me. The wind blows and I allow it to push me into the frozen ocean. My lungs fill with salt water and my hair floats around me but I can still feel the sweet moonbeams on my frozen skin.
Tab Feb 2016
Fuzzy and warm
The feeling spilling over my whole being
Drinking to forget
Forgetting to drink
*Warm wine filling the spaces you once called home
Tab Dec 2015
Christmas music is playing softly
The snow is falling, delicatly dancing around us
The ground is freezing, the road is covered
Completely white
A white Christmas
Sirens can be heard, they're approaching quickly
The only light coming from the cars headlights
Enough light to see the blood
Turning the snow from white to red
Tab Feb 2016
every night I go to bed with my woes
I try to tell myself that this place I'm in is just temporary
but is it?
trying to exist in a void is like
trying to find a metaphor for depression
trying to reason with myself to search for something more
but I'm just a weeping ghost trying to disappear into the abyss for the last time.
Tab Nov 2015
words float in and out of my brain
I forget what I was going to say
I did know all the words at first
But now
nothing flows right and words look wrong
how did I let this happen?
How did I let you worm your way into my brain
You've left holes where memories should be
Sentences run on and words slam into each other
Sometimes....
What was I going to say?
Tab Nov 2016
i loved her so much
i've never loved something
or someone
so pure
so raw
so beautiful
in my whole life
she left me warm
before she left me
i've never missed someone as much as i miss you
you
Tab Dec 2015
you
lets talk about your hair
lets talk about your eyelashes
lets talk about your hands
lets talk about your knees
lets talk about your voice
the way it sounded when you would whisper about the stars, or the way it sounded when you screamed you couldn't deal with me anymore
you never talked about my anxiety
you never talked about my depression
you never talked about that week in the hospital
you never wanted to talk about me it was always about you
you
you
you
YOU
YOU
**YOU
we all have demons and mine was you
Tab Apr 2016
remember that night i had a panic attack in your room?
you to told me that my eyes could use some sleep
but instead
i let go of the idea of being anything at all that night
and
anxiety settled into my bones that night
i ache
i ache
i ache so ******* much
this is pointless just like my life (-:

— The End —
