save myself

nobody could see me
trying to **** myself.
but i could.
every night i saw it.
i saw the various ways to
slit my throat, my wrist,
to tie a knot, maybe with a bow?
and kick my moms nice chair away?
maybe by drowning,
or jumping from a tall building?
so many ways... so many.
i still see those ways.
i still want to cut.
actually, ive craved the blade
for a few weeks now.
and yet, i havent made a single mark
up and down my arm.

whats stopping me?
i'll be honest: when i go back to school
i want to be able to show my teacher that
it'll be a whole month since ive cut.
thats a long time (for me) and i
really want to keep going.

i can save myself.
i know i can...
right?
I am
What isn't.
I am
What is.
The hero.
The villian.
The perspective is what makes the difference.
I told them I would lead
Ever since the day my heart began to bleed.
That is why I can't give up, for the world is upon my shoulders.
Its time for a new DA Vinci.
Who will be my Rome?
The masterpiece in the making.
Who will be my home?
The heart has an easy way of making things seem strictly out of proportion,
Only to have the boundaries changed to save face.
I am
What isn't.
I am
What is.
A lover. A fighter. A realist. A survivor.
I am human and because of that, I am beyond the Universe.

Childhood dreams and visions
Adult realities and decisions
Hope and confidence
Despair and despondence
What was it
That turned a girl with the lightness of butterfly wings
Into a woman with a heart too full of heavy things
Was is bad choices
A head with too many voices
A whisper to God
The silence that echoed on
An endless leash to the past
Forever looking back
Unable to forgive
The life that she chose to live

Back to me
I leave my shadow behind
Tears washing Alaska away
Looking out the window
I love to say goodbye

Back to me
Will you want my love
Will you want my forgiveness
I know you have a good heart inside
But I will never again trust you with mine

Back to me
So many only face ahead
Filling their minds with fluff
They choose to be
Zombies wandering aimlessly
Unconscious to what harm they give

Back to me
On route to my familiar ground
I'm whole again
Roots start spreading back beneath

Back to me
No longer trapped on an island in a cage
I watch the mountains shrink below me
From this plane
I'm finally free
To spread my aching wings

Back to me
I'm safe again now
just to be

Colors

I love the color blue
She said,
It is so regal…
And royal
Its subtle hues
Provide me with comfort
And security
But if you were to add
Just a touch of red…
The color of love
It reveals a most
wonderful purple
Purple has been my
Secret passion
Since I was very young
Purple gives me joys
I scarcely comprehend
While looking at purple
The powerful hints of red
Overwhelm me
Even to the point where
I find it difficult
To detect the blue
What a lovely palette
I have before me
What picture, I wonder
Shall I paint today…
I'm so scared and worried.
The thought of losing you
Haunts me.
The thought of you not being here
Sends tears down my face.
I love you more than words can say.
You always know just what to say.
I will be lost without you here
Another piece of me gone.
I need you here with me..
I can't cope with you gone.
I love you more than words can say
I just hope you realise
Before you leave me all alone.
My best friend said he wants to give up, this is what I wrote for him to make him realise how much he  means to me...

you fill me with happiness
something i cant do to myself

your touch intoxicates me
making me crave for more

your lovely eyes
entice me
leaving me
speechless

your laugh
that angelic smile of yours
drowned me in buckets
of pure happiness

i could use more words
to convey my feelings for you
but no combination of 26 letters
would ever be enough
The wind shreds at the tattered remains of his heart
And steals the pieces, scattering them every which way.
What's suppose to be the agonizing perception of being in pain
is the perception of relief.
No longer will tears hit the the broken remnants to play the somber tune of heart break.
No longer will words be able to salt his exposed arteries.
No longer will he feel the silence dance around him getting closer and closer when he is alone.
For not bearing a heart
leaves no heart to bear scars
and perceive pain
