Em Dec 2020
i'm so tired. please let me give up.
i don't want to be here anymore.

did you find it?
Em May 2020
i must stop and think,
have i found love?
my burdening self belonging to a beauty,
and having that in return?
what is love? i do not know
i pursued that path before,
but the ground broke away beneath my clinging feet
perhaps i may try again to decipher the darkness
but who really knows what lies there anyway?
May 2020 · 68
no one
Em May 2020
no one cares. they lie.

i dont know what love is. i say that i love you but i have no clue. perhaps this is what love is, if so, im not too sure i'd care to feel it again.

Em Apr 2020
i knew it was over as soon as i didn't trust a word that left your lips.
Em Mar 2020
Death is weird. What is it really?
A whole entire living person is there. breathing. laughing. existing.
And from one moment to the next, they disappear forever.
Never to feel their warmth again.
All those memories they felt. their deepest regrets.
all those tears they cried in secret.
are locked away for eternity.
Never to be able to look them in the eye again, how does that make sense?
I can't understand it.
My brain refuses to comprehend it no matter how hard i try.
They're with you. Then they're not.
Death is weird. What is it really?

i now live without you.
but i would never consider this living.

i am the sun
Em Jan 2020
I am the sun. Perhaps I warm the surfaces of the rooms I walk into. I bring happiness to people who don't think about me much. But come too close to me, and I will burn you to your core. From far away, I am sobering, a reassurance to most. From far away, you will think everything is okay. But i warn you. Don't look directly at me. Otherwise you will see who I really am. You will suffer endless pain and regret the decision for the rest of your existence. I am the sun. Don't come too close.

I'm Finally Free
Em Dec 2019
I finally cut myself free from you. And it's the worst feeling in the world.
Dec 2019 · 84
untouched
Em Dec 2019
i remember being a little girl and wanting nothing more than to grow up, go to high school and live my life to the fullest. i think back on that person now and i seriously envy that innocent mind. a mind that had yet to be exposed to all of the destructing things someone goes through. after some years, i realized that well known sayings like "what doesn't **** you makes you stronger" are complete *******. what doesn't **** you turns you into a weak being that you won't even recognize in the end. we live in such a demolishing society and i am so horrified that i have to live through this somehow. i cannot even begin to explain. last year, i used to go through these phases where i would hate everything and would feel like my life ******, but now i'm in this constant cloud, this constant fog of being angry at the world. this will never be something i get over, or something i will recover from. i now can say that i fully understand why some people are so angry at the world. what an effing revolting place we live in. adults crush your hopes and dreams with words they claim to be the "truth", friends turn into fake ******* you don't recognize, boys play you like they play their stupid sports, and most of all grades are the only thing that defines a person, and after that, it's how much money you make and how perfect your life is. we should be so ashamed that this is the way it is. the worst part of it all is that this will never change anything. this will go unheard. just like our individual lives when we have completed the competition that we somehow have the audacity to call life.
honestly, i just envy that untouched, oblivious mind that i used to have.
i don't have any words to speak anymore.
Dec 2019 · 88
you don't get it
Em Dec 2019
oh my dear do not worry!
it will all be okay.

but i don't have a 4.0 GPA
i don't pull enough all nighters
i need to work harder somehow

oh my dear do not worry!
it will all be okay.

but everyone tells me i'm going to fail!
they are right
i will never be what i want to be

oh my dear do not worry!
it will all be okay.

i am tired and broken down from pushing myself.
but i am still called lazy.
how does that make sense at all?
whoever is being told they won't succeed. turn that negativity into a drive to prove them all wrong. who cares what they think? they will never understand so don't waste your energy trying to convince them of something they would never believe in anyway.
You can do this!! I believe in you, whoever you are.
Nov 2019 · 84
mom?
Em Nov 2019
i wish i didn't care.
that your words could float right through me, without hurting me,
that i could shrug it off carelessly.
but honestly you are the one who has torn me all up,
the one who made sure i never strayed too far,
you are the one who destroyed me.
and i'm expected to love you?

My Stitches Broke.
Em Nov 2019
The stitches broke.
I tried to fix myself. To heal what others tore apart.
I tried to save myself countless times.
The stitches broke.
I looked up in defeat.
Nothing left to give. Everything drained.
The stitches broke.
My wounds were so **** close to being healed.
But another person always comes along to prevent it.
The Stitches broke.
And honestly this time i'm too tired to sew myself back together.

Em Nov 2019
I don't want to run anymore.
                                            I think maybe
Maybe it's time to lay down.
                                            My legs are tired.

you wouldn't know
Em Nov 2019
and just like that she vanished.
the soft golden strands of hair you once knew, now dark and mysterious.
her flawless skin, so soft and pure, now rough, beaten and cracked.
on her eyelids once was a shade of ocean blue, now her eyes are crusted shut with dried blood.
her contagious smile replaced with lips refusing to separate, too afraid to speak a word.
what happened to her you might ask?
what could have possibly turned such a prodigious person into less than the shell?
you tell me.
Nov 2019 · 116

Em Nov 2019
isn't it sad when you think you've hit the bottom.
that it could not possibly get any worse.
but it turns out there was no bottom.

Em Nov 2019

there is a moment.
when you finally realize that you will never be extraordinary.
you will never be the person you hoped you would become.
it ***** you up.
trust me.

not cappable
Em Nov 2019
i am alone in my own world. my own life.
the only one who can save me is myself.
but i would never dare put that in the hands of me.

maybe this time
Em Nov 2019
this has happened before.
i was in this same identical spot.
and wished death upon myself.
i somehow moved on from it.
but i am back.
hello dear friend! i haven't missed you.
will this time be the one that terminates my existence?
Nov 2019 · 95
just one more time.
Em Nov 2019
as i'm washing the knives, i stop and listen to their pleas.
their pleas to kiss the soft ridges of my wrists once more.



just once more.

i won't tell
Em Nov 2019
tell me.
tell me why i am like this please.
all i need is an explanation! please!
is this how it's supposed to be?
am i going to make it?
i need a sign.
please. please.

you were wrong
Em Nov 2019
you would think that someone with such a sobering smile would know how to escape depression.
Nov 2019 · 68
Differently.
Em Nov 2019
Change is inevitable.
I tried to avoid it, to make sure we never crossed paths.
But I remember how innocent I was back then, not an ounce of sadness in my body. How did I become this? When did I change into this bitter, pessimistic thing. I tried so hard to light my way through the darkness but I forgot to bring extra matches.

         I think I have ended up so depressed because I was so happy.
Nov 2019 · 48
How could I
Em Nov 2019
I am disgusted with myself.
How could I ever tell someone I love them when they are the reason I am broken on the inside.

Void
Em Oct 2019
I'm isolated.
I'm alone.
I don't have anyone.
This empty void that I'm in right now, it strangely feels like home.
It's like I've adapted to a hostile environment.
I'm so used to coming back to this place of emptiness that I've shaken it's cold hand in friendship.
And this void, it now greets my depressed state with a victorious smile.
Oct 2019 · 77
Second guessing
Em Oct 2019
You say I'm yours but are you mine? How many other girls have you said this to?
Do I really satisfy you enough?
Why would you even like someone like me?
You're probably just using me.
Maybe playing me like a game, making me a placeholder for someone better. Someone prettier. Someone hotter.
I'm not good enough for you.
Oct 2019 · 88
I did not choose this
Em Oct 2019
I don't know why, but I don't trust you. You've never given me a reason to feel this way, you've never hurt me, lied to me, or anything of that sort. I guess this is what happens when you've been let down so many times that you realize one day, people are never who they seem to be at first glance. I've learned to not trust anyone. I wish it didn't apply to you, but these things are out of my control.

depression
Em Sep 2019
it'll run through you.
maybe even out of your ears, out the ends of your finger tips.
every single inch. every pore that surfaces your broken body.

it'll drain you out like a wet washcloth.
watching you twist and turn resulting in all life flowing out of you.

don't worry. you can't run from it. it will always catch up.

it will always win.
Em Sep 2019
depression is the slow killer.
slow and steady wins the race.

and it wasn't until I reached such a state of sadness, that I read that idiom with such logic.
Sep 2019 · 142

I pray this is not real.
I pray that my life won't be like this forever...

how are you the one that gets to be happy?
the one that made me feel unlovable for my weaknesses?
how is that fair.

i just saw a post of you kissing another girl.
that shoved a knife into my broken heart.
the one you broke.

simple
Em Aug 2019
"I am tired" is such an optimistic way of describing the state in which we really are.
"I am done for, narcoleptic, internally shattered, and terminally discarded." is the closest way of painting the pain on a canvas of meaningless words.
But there really is no way of expressing the true feeling. Of being simply tired.

exceptionally changed
Em Aug 2019
after a while the caffeine grows weaker, the cold splash of water grows warmer, and the sunlight grows darker.
things change for the worse all the time.
and one day I realized that I was no exception.

white lies
Em Aug 2019
I wish I could shut all feelings and emotions down with a lever.
I say that I have.
But I also say i'm happy.
I guess we all tell little lies, don't we?

Broken Glass
Em Aug 2019
I stare at my tired reflection in the mirror.
It being broken. Shattered if you will.
Belonging to no one.

I smile.
I flash that charming grin. Trying to convince myself i'm okay.

But then, my face falls.
Tears overlapping my eyes.
Making them look like those of an untouched doll.

The power. Oh the power you have on me right now.
You don't even know.

I'm gone
Em Jul 2019
There is no air.
I am trapped.
I am trapped in an ocean.

Water begging to be let in.
My screaming lungs on the other side refusing with all their might.

Cold cement walls on every side.
Silence.
Millions of tiny cold pieces of rock
for every time I think about you.

Dark forest at every turn.
All the trees look the same.
And no one will hear me for eternity.
Wailing with such weak desperation.

The feeling is close to a thousand wolves ripping me apart.
Claws digging into my selfless blood.

Blades of regret ripping through my broken heart.
Wishing i'd kept it to myself.

It was a mistake.
I am a mistake.

I don't like going to bed.
Because I lay there thinking about you instead.

I feel haunted by your memory to be honest.
I must tell you that these nights are the longest.

I would do anything for you to have never left me.
But now you only exist in my memory.

I Just want you back.
You are the one person that I lack.
