Rebecca
I don't know where I started
nor what I wanted
I just remember
it was all over.
The salty stream of pain streaks across my face
And my mind lost in an ashen haze,
I yearn for an understanding gaze,
But the world is lost in their own maze.
Standing on the ledge of annihilation; screaming give me a reason

Was a child of the summer,  my soul used to shimmer.
The morning daylight that once made my heart  flutter,
Now charrs my back to the colours of dying embers.
Standing on the ledge of annihilation ; screaming give me a reason

I used to finger paint the world with vibrant hues.
This sadness, silent but wailing for rescue,
And its underpainting has dappled me blue.
Standing on the ledge of annihilation; screaming give me a reason

My heart is tired of flooding blood to this prison.
The cuts  now bleed crimson.
My own thoughts have committed treason.
Standing on the ledge of annihilation; screaming give me a reason
Trigger Warning: Suicide, Self Harm
This poem dives into the themes of existential crisis how one transitions from a playful child to one who sees no colour in the world. The last line of every stanza is the person asking is there any point of living itself
You say my grades don’t matter.
You say, “I love you no matter what.”
Then why am I invisible?
Why do they only see the red numbers on my sheet?

You ask me, “Is everything fine?”
What do you expect me to say —
that I’m f**d up?
That I dream about leaving?
That I keep a blade in my front pocket?

You say I don’t share,
but you don’t pay attention.
I play the piano till my fingers bleed,
I scream songs that reflect me,
I even talked to you.

Maybe it’s because you liked me,
never loved me.
Maybe I’m so flawed I can’t see,
or maybe it’s both.
Maybe we’re both flawed —
we’re only human.
can you hear me?

All alone
by the noon,
softly humming
an old tune.

Eyes that drift
toward the moon,
air is still,
a bit too cool.

No more tools,
just quiet bloom—
a soul unfolding
in its room.

Dirt
Dark eyes,
Dark hair,
Lace like shadows, skin laid bare.
Pale as moonlight on the snow,
Lips that beckon, pull, then go.
Fingernails trace a burning line,
Pain and pleasure intertwine.
Your breath is thunder in my ear,
A whisper deep, too close to fear.
A glance, a sway, your wicked art,
You steal my breath, then take my heart.
So come, you devil dressed in silk,
I'll drown for one more taste of milk.

i'm wrong about everything
i'm the king of wrong
but when it comes to you
everything is different
A Prisoner In Palestine.
As I pray for
Freedom it's never
Near i'm alone again
And in fear forever
My children shall be
In fear I'm saddened
By life but fear my
Heart is broken
Into pieces of rage
Of endless wars
Never before can I feel
Freedom only war I feel
I'm saddened no love
For my children but fear
Forever evil in Palestine
We shall never be free
As I reach out for freedom
I'm shot down never feeling
Loved only fear forever
My dream of freedom is gone
As I shall always be a prisoner
In Palestine as I weep my
Children weep our elders weep
Freedom gone forever I slowly
Watch my children die
Forever our hearts shall never be
Free never feeling love only rage
But I pray for these evil people
That my freedom shall be near
But forever I shall never be free
Never feeling freedom but fear
A prisoner forever I shall always be.
Freedom Never Be
