Ellyn k Thaiden Dec 2013
There is a point
Where kissing my scars
Telling me I'm beautiful
And telling me to stop

Isn't enough

I'm not a project to fix
It's not something that
Goes away over night
It won't just be you who stops it

It has to be my decision too
Ellyn k Thaiden Dec 2013
For the first time
In such a long time
My smile is real
And irreversible

You put it there
But you weren't even here
It's amazing what a few
Words through a text can do

I'm actually getting my
Way for once
Usually they just leave
But no, you come back

Back for a second helping
Of crazy
Ellyn k Thaiden Dec 2013
Slipping deeper into
The hole, where I told
Myself I would never go again

Chasing the rabbit
To this Wonderland
Trying to find my way back

While Wonderland is scary
And Wonderland can be unkind
It's more gentle than the reality up top

In my Wonderland
I can do what I wish
I can show my scars without fear

Because up top, in their
Reality, my scars are taboo
I cannot show the skin

I don't think I'd want to
Because people stare and point
And then you're left all alone

But in Wonderland you're
Never alone but surrounded
By people just like you

There its okay to talk to yourself
Slit up and slip up
Mistakes are welcomed

Wonderland is a place I long for
But instead I'm stuck here in reality
Down in my wold basement

I told myself I wouldn't go back
Down the rabbit hole
But I might have to break that promise

I
Ignorance and illness
Illogical thinking and infamous deeds
Irrational behavior and icey hearts
Irreversible actions

The world is loosing its taste

Hazards and humility
Habits ***** and hateful
Habitats being ruined
Happiness being drained

For one another

Greed and growth
Grasslands dying and glass shattering
Grotesque and grim
Gladly dying, for death is sweet

We are loosing our empathy
