now, in this moment
i want to jump out of the window.
...
but tomorrow will come
and i'll
get better
just a little bit.
i feel exhausted.

The Judge
The darkness of the water surrounds me,
engulfing the flame of my life.
The light of the sun has been erased,
Cut like paper with a knife.

The rope hangs above me,
the stool is still and my feet.
But it has been cut a long time ago,
So it I cannot defeat.

The scars on my arm are real,
just like the moon and the sun.
But the sun is dark,
the world no longer is fun.

I sit down and look at the desolate sky.
Why was I here?
Why must I be punished?
What is it that I fear?

One day the darkness will recede,
and I will bring  forth the light.
One day I will stop suffering,
and stop the eternal fight.

But the darkness will always be around me,
and I will never be set free.
I am open to requests just message me anytime

Poetic T
I awoke that morning,
the leafs were descending
like so many of my thoughts,
I just wanted to be like them still.

*"Can I awaken one day in silence, and slumber in death,
13
Mirror cloaked in tears
I scream at my own reflection
Why couldn't you have just killed yourself at 13,
Like you always said you would?
You didn't know rejection.
Eyes glazed over, helpless red
Why did you have to stay on and be strong?
You could have found out if heaven were real
Or maybe you would just be nowhere instead
There, there little broke girl
I know you want to die
If I would have just killed myself at 13 (Like I always said I would)
I wouldn't need to be alive
This is not in promotion of suicide. There are always better options. (just not for me.)
