Darkness
A darkness so vast and frightening
So consuming and suffocating
It terrifies me
371 · Jan 2019
Death is Real
Realize
Realize that there is something called death
Death, meaning the end to all the insane madness of the world
Whether it’s a new beginning
Or the train’s last stop
Know that it happens all the time
It’s inevitable
Death roams around with no leash
But don’t fret too much
It’s not worth the pain of anxiety
Live a little

My Mental Illnesses (10w)
358 · Jul 2019
Quit Blowing Up My Phone
My head being blown up
Just like my phone
I can’t take the pressure
What did I get myself into
I feel like I’m going crazy
With an urge to yank my hair
And slam my head
Against a wall until it bleeds
Scream to let the pressure out
And sob to release the weight

Age
Age
If you knew my age
would you turn tail and run away?
Say I'm too young to understand
These feelings and god's greater plan?

Would you say I'm being over-dramatic
or a little bit selfish?
That it's not my right to decide my own feelings and choices?
That I should stop being so negative and start to cherish?
Maybe I should just sit back and listen to the voices

In my ear
Down my neck
In my business
Over my shoulder

Not the ones in my head,
Not my conscience that is me and belongs to me

No, I have to live the way everyone else expects me to...
Different
Since I was born
I stood out
All I wanted
Was to be the same
That childish need to fit in
Overtook my growth as I fell prey to my feelings

Then I was told
That I should embrace my difference
That that was the key to connecting myself
To the rest of society
That I should fit in by standing out

Differences are what make us who we are
Those flaws are what make us human
How can we deny ourselves,
Ourselves?

How can we turn away from the very things that make us human?
That is what separates us
But the very things that make us different
Are the things that make us the same
From every atom of our being to the stars in the sky
They make us the same

Gravity
Gravity keeps things
Grounded
Hopes and dreams being no exception

House Of Glass
Once a girl lived
Tucked in a house of glass
Kept for so long
Walking over the shards of broken
Things once whole
It hurts
But she's stuck
Little does she know
The key is herself
The broken house her mind
But its impossible
Or so it seems
To escape the house of glass without
Bleeding out

Shame on me
He said that he’d miss me
He said that he’d cared

Then he called me profanities
Even after I shared

I’d told him everything
From the thoughts to the cuts to the fights I had

I thought our friendship was true
I thought it could last

But he left me in the dirt
And told me that that’s exactly what I am

Happy?
Someone once asked me
what I wanted in life
I said, "To be happy,"
They asked, "Aren't you already happy?"
and I replied, "If only you knew,"
302 · Dec 2018
All Alone
No one wants to find me
No one’s interested in my hurt
All alone in the darkness
No one to heal the burn

No one wants to hear about my troubles
Or wash away the pain
All alone in my darkness
No one to shine light or concern
299 · Jan 2019
Where to?
Many people
Think
I’m going somewhere
But
Trust me
I’m going
Absolutely
Nowhere

Like an impossible maze

My mind, body, and soul too
Constantly crushed

We are all People
Some people see ages
Some see religions
Some see skin color
But can everyone stop to see people
Not ages
Not religions
Not colors

People

People who are equal
People who have rights
Who have family and friends
And feelings
And souls
Can we stop for a second to see that we are all the same

People

We are all people

Hopeless
That’s what I am
Don’t bother trying to help
I can’t cope with my problems
With or without your help
So please don’t try
277 · Apr 2019
Remember me?
Hello
I remember you
I don’t know if you remember me
But I know I’m not really special

It actually kind of hurts
You left a huge mark on me
But you actually couldn’t give a crap
about me

Yes I’m hurt
No I don’t care
You have your reasons
And I respect that
I just wish I’d known
Sorry, this isn’t really a real poem...

Monsters Under my Bed
This armor finally solidifies in its place
To protect me from the demons that come to play

I was told monsters only come out at night
But here they are, ridding my world of any light

They surround me, push me into a chasm so dark, it hurts my eyes,
and tie me So there’s no escape

Help me
Help me please

No armor or weapon can stop these beasts

Him
Him
The way he looks at me,
Eyes so full of awe
Like I’m the prettiest girl in the world,
but also like there’s no one else at all
I can’t help but stare right back
as he tilts his head in question

and asks what I’m looking at

Clearly he doesn’t understand

That I’m looking at him

Him and his smile from ear to ear,

The dimples appearing on his cheeks

His eyes lighting up with no light at all,

but somehow brighter than a thousand suns

Haiku: Red Water
Sitting in a tub
Full of red water and tears
Waiting to see stars

Vulnerability
They say the ***** in the armor is the greatest weakness
But there is no ***** when there is no armor

They say the bigger they, are the harder they fall
But you can't fall if you were never standing

They say that to beat a wall you need to find the loose brick
But if there is no wall it'll never be broken down

Being scared of vulnerability is giving yourself a vulnerability in the first place
Should vulnerability be feared?

Short
“Your poems are too short,”
Or so I’ve been told

But it’s the few true lines
That really touch the soul
Do you prefer long or short poems?

Lose or Lose Less
We watch for days
To see the results
But little do we know
The worst is yet to come

Haiku: Opening Up
To speak from the heart
Is never an easy task
But you help a bit

Ass-u-me
I’m not who you think
No, not who you see
Now that there’s your problem
You assume who is me

Though you don’t understand
You could at least try
Try and reach your hand
Across this large divide

I’ll reach my hand out too
To make you understand
Me and my goals,
Exactly who I am
239 · Feb 2019
Permanent Sleep
I wish I could fall asleep and never wake up
I’ve been getting closer and closer to that goal by the day
No one has noticed my lack of mental turn-up
Forever and ever in bed I’ll lay
238 · Jan 2019
I Feel This Way
They say I have no right to feel the way I do,

But guess what?

I do, and there’s nothing you can do to change that...

Haiku: Lies
Am I a liar
For being someone I'm not
When I should be me?
Thanks for the help with this sis
221 · Dec 2018
You
You
I can’t sleep
I can’t eat
I can’t function
As thoughts of you cloud my head like a car windshield driving through a whiteout blizzard
They are thoughts of you
The words you’ve said
The sound of your voice
The way you look
They are all right there
But at the same time
Too far away to focus
I’m left staring at the ceiling for hours
Wondering if you’re doing the same
217 · Mar 2019
Religion or Science?
Did it start with a bang
Or did it all just appear
Is it to science or religion that I must adhere

Religion is faith
Science is facts
I don’t know the right track

For I was raised with religion
But told science


Which one I believe is still in question

Hard
If only she could be 'that girl'

The one that smiled effortlessly
and could act accordingly

To bad it's not that easy

Tears (2)
Everything is blurry
Not because of my lack of glasses
But because of my surplus of tears
209 · Jan 2020
Relationship
Relationships are circle
At least they're supposed to be
It's a give and a take
Not a take and a leave
203 · Apr 2019
Crap
I feel like crap
For feeling like crap
And that makes me feel crappier

Limited Freedom
I just want to be a normal teen
With the ability to do and say as I please
To not have to be dragged by the sleeve
To and from places I never wanted to be
194 · Jan 2019
What to do...
I want to
But then I don't
I don't want to
But then I do

the final push
the final crack

If the World Ends
What will I do when it's all gone?
When I never see it all again?
They say not to worry,
"You'll see them again,"
But how true is that when it could all be gone tomorrow?
like the snap of a finger,
It could all be gone,
Everything I

Hope for

Love

Dream of

Aspire to become


But is all that disappearing really a bad thing?

When it all is over,
No one will remember my name,
or know what I did in my lifetime.

No one even cares even though I am alive
They don't care that I cry myself to sleep
every night.
They don't care if Try to not wake up every morning.
They don't care about The scary thoughts that go through my head all the time.

So is it really that bad if it's gone the next morning?

Pain
A throb
A burn
An ache
A stab
A slice
A squeeze
An emptiness
A hollowness

Always in my head
Throughout my body
In my scars
In my heart
In my soul
In my being

The pain is everywhere

But I'm also numb
So numb it hurts
"Pain demands to be felt,"
~The fault in our stars, John Green

She Feels so Small...
Everyone thinks she’s perfect
Like everything’s presented to her on a golden tray
But did no one notice
The slits on her wrists the other day?
Covered in white plaster,
With red peeking through
No one sees the demons
Pushing her closer and closer too
And the boulders on her shoulders
Invisible to the world,
Make her a little smaller
