You say to show you that I’m responsible
But every time I do you look away
You say I can't have this till I'm grown up
But how old do I have to be

You are always telling me these things
Always shouting in my face
Always applying just a little bit more pressure
But when are you going to start seeing the things that you have been missing?

You have always told me to act like my siblings
But when I do you scold me for doing so
You tell me to act my age
But when I do You ground me

How much more of this topsy turvy world must I take
How much more do you need to tell me
How much more do I need to show you
Why can't you ever be happy with just me

I may not always be responsible
But I am when it counts
I may make mistakes
But thats what I'm supposed to do

Can't you see how much has changed
Can't you see that I'm still not 5
You are eventually going to miss everything
I wish you would catch up to the RESPONSIBLE ME

There's a woman in the mirror
There's a child inside my heart
I wanna scream out my misery
I wanna rip it all apart

So here I am crying
For my home fell to the ground
Though the house is still standing
The heart is nowhere to be found

Though the line is fine between the two
and the power is strong in them both
They are not opposites.

To Love and to Hate both require care and attention
Whether you want me to be safe
or you want me to be killed
You are still wanting.

No, the opposite, as you may wonder, of Love and Hate is not caring.
There is not one ounce of attention or thought
there is only a place where there is nothing
where the Love and Hate should be

Mermaid
She was roaming on the wings
Of free winds, blessed
With everlasting dreams
Running in the garden of Eden,
Enjoying the fields of deep green.

Until she was lost in the endless
Labyrinth
A lonely sparkling tree caught
Her eyes, without to realize,
A soft whispering voice :
Come and touch me,
I'll give you a magical gift!”

She was tempted, full with
An innocence of child,
Always curious of what
Was around and inside,
She didn't see the way …

While hiding from her sight,
He followed her " wild fire
Of a tiger in his eyes,
Adam saw her naked body
Waving golden curls,
Smooth skin shimmering
On the sun so lovely…

My soul hurts today.

Relapse relapse relapse
Friday night
******
Needle
Track marks

"Where was I?" was my first thought.. Did I ignore a text of help from her? Did I have a bad feeling that day that I ignored? Could I have done something to help her?

Could I have saved my sister from it this time?

I'm torn & my arms want to bleed & spill out all my sadness
Every feeling left unsaid
Every lie left untold
It's eating away at our hearts
Eating out are very souls

Don't tell me what you said
Silence is the key that breaks
Left to destruction every
Feeling that we make

I might as well die now
Would it matter if I left?
Would you notice what I've said?
Every sentence that you've kept

Nothing true is ever said
There is falseness in your breath
This pain that we can feel
Will only end in
Death.

-
I do think you're the best
my heart you stole
not like the rest
a flawed love
with a
simple
touch
What is love?
In love there is no beginning no end.
No doubts and frailty.
No failure or victory.
But what is love?
Love is god, light and hope.
And it is the prayers of skies.
But you know,
Love is love , Nothing else.
