Don't worry darling,
When I push you away,
I promise,
You won't feel a thing.

I'll be the one,
To burn in the fire,
The smoke,
Causing my eyes to sting.

I know it's for the better,
I'm a burden,
Don't you see?

I promise I won't blame you,

Who would want to be around me?
I promise I won't blame you,
I don't have the guts to leave.
When you're around
I start to miss you
I get confused
Wanting to tell you
I don't know why
But I want you to know
What I want
Where I'll go
Help me understand
What went wrong
Bring me back
To when I was strong
Tell me everything is okay
And bring me back today
This was written with the help of one of my dear friends. Thank you to him.
My words
  Falling to the ground
    As I run
      Through the dark
         Further from my past
           Into the future
             A song in my heart
               Words overflowing
                 Falling to the ground
We fight to stop fighting
We scream to stop screaming
We **** to stop killing
We wait to stop waiting
We run to stop running
We are flawed
We are imperfect
We have insecurities
We feel hate, envy, and pride
We take without giving
We act before we think
But we live without limits
We learn everyday
We laugh at all volumes
We reach for the stars
And we love unconditionally
Remember me
When I'm dead and gone
Remember me
When you think of love
When you think of joy
When you think of hope
Remember me
For who I was inside
Remember me
As a fun, crazy girl
With a happy life
Remember me
Because I wasn't perfect
But at the same time
Because I was
Remember me
When you think of sadness
When you think of death
When you think of pain
Remember me
No matter what
Remember me
Forever and always
I'm breaking
And breaking
And breaking
From pain
And hate
And words
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But words will never hurt me
Words said as children
So it wouldn't hurt
And break, break
Break us
But it did
The words
And looks
And abuse
No matter the kind
Now look
We're breaking
And breaking
And breaking
From the pain
And hate
And words
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But words will never hurt me
We see now
It's all a lie
To make us feel
Just a little better
But the truth always
Shows in the end
And we see
We were simply
Foolish
And now
I'm here
And I'm breaking
And breaking
And breaking
Flutter your wings
Fly far away
Get out of this place
Come back another day
Let your colors show
But know how to hide
The predators will chase you
Trying to get inside
They'll try to break you
Don't let them through
Let all your colors show
And simply be you
My brain says move
My body disobeys
I sleep
I don't eat
My smile is gone
My green eyes have faded
My skin has paled
My body has thinned
I am weak
We are hope for others
To carry on
Taking their burdens
And making them our own
Holding their pain
So they don't feel it
Sharing the weight
Allowing them to be free
But buried beneath the weight
We struggle to stay alive
Always being beaten down
Cracking under the sheer pressure
We don't know how long
This will last
Our instincts tell us to fight
While our mentality says surrender
Grasp our hands
Let us be your hope
Bring us your burdens
We'll whisper to you
You're not alone
This was written as a collaboration with a very talented poet named Robert Guerrero. It turned out really well. Good job to us.
Scarring the perfect skin
I will never be the same
My soul is breaking
I need this pain
Something snapped in me
I have twisted desires
Abuse is never enough
Hate burning like a fire
I long to destroy myself
I don't let myself feel
My body aches holding it in
None of this is even real
