Life scares me
and
death does too
but what scares me most
is the thought of waking up
without you.
This was originally a part of another longer poem, but I just really loved the  sound of it by itself.

I told you that you could never hurt me
because all of my wounds are self inflicted.
You assured me that that was ridiculous to say
because you would never hurt me in the first place;
and you kissed my scars and told me I was beautiful.
But this hurt me more than any slap to the face ever would
because I could see in your eyes, that are deeper than the ocean,
how much you meant it, and yet I could not see it.
You plead with me, telling me you want me to be happy, and
you wish that you could make me feel alive.
But the truth is, I have been dead for years,
wandering in a hell full of fear and self hatred.
There is no saving me.
The call of razors soothe me to sleep at night
as blood trickles down my arms.
The sensation in my heart feels the same as it does
when you look me in the eyes and
tell me you love me.
And I love you.
But I don’t know what to do, because
I love my scars too.

Words are like warriors.
And warriors are hunters and gatherers and leaders.
And I am. . . none of those things;
but when I pick up a pen, I can be.
I can be anything I want to be when I have a piece of paper and a pen.
A princess in a faraway land,
or maybe something a little less cliche,
like a viking going out to slaughter a village.
Or a teenage boy running from home to find the person he was always meant to be.
When I write, I can be strong,
I can be whole again.
I can be happy,
an emotion I haven't felt since I was a young girl.
I can trick people into feeling emotions
that they shouldn't feel.
I can make people happy or sad or jealous or angry
all with the words I choose to spill.

I’m never ever going to get any work done sitting at a computer
rather than with a pen in my hand and a thought on my mind.
In Arial black I will waste away my time
by sitting on a website designed to keep my mouth shut and my eyes glued
to the glowing screen of the worlds media, that I don’t really care about,
but yet I care too much about.
I open all of the tabs and write down very few words
and what ever happened to writing complete and utter nonsense
just for the hell of it?
And why did I ever open this laptop to write a poem
that will be cut off by a website calling for me to look at its pretty pictures
and witty text posts.
And why will this drivel make me feel so **** happy
when all it does is waste my time and lower my grades
and destroy my self esteem
that has already been mostly deleted?
Why do I decide to waste all of these moments with wishes
when I could go out and make them realities?
I sit on this computer and stare at the blankness of other peoples thoughts
and mock the imbeciles for wasting all of their time coming up with stupid rhymes
and sarcastic remarks that they think are hilarious ,
but really they are pointless.
And though I laugh at their foolishness;
they are no worse
than I.

As I sit down to type these words, there is nothing more that I want to write about than you. You clog every pore in my face, every inch of my mind, every cell of blood that runs in my veins is tainted by the thought of your voice saying my name. However, I do not wish to write about how your eyes burn through my flesh and seep into my bones. I want to write about something real, something raw. Something that is not just a lonely desire I carry. I want to write about. . . you. Its always been you, this stupid lust, this first love. I want to write about how I take the looks you throw my way and hoard them in a crystal box, that no one will ever open because I am the holder of the key. And I know this isn't fair for you because it is not my box to keep, you’re eyes are not meant for me. . .I want to write about heartache and longing for your arms around me. I want you to know that I want you to be happy. I’ll write you letters everyday if I need to. But I will not send them, for I know you will think it’s strange that a girl like me is so infatuated by a boy like you. But it doesn't matter because even though you are broken, I want you. Not so I can fix you or try to heal you. I want to feel your pain with you, so that when you feel like you are drowning, you will know that you’re not alone. . .I want to write silly metaphors that only a young naive girl could come up with, that are so cliche it hurts. But it won’t matter because I can feel your hand in mine and the earth underneath my feet. And when I inhale the air around me, I know it is your exhale that is being ****** through my empty lungs. . .I don’t want to write a love poem, but when I think of you, it’s all there seems to be.

Hello God,
You’re real, are you not?
I didn't believe for so long.
You were a figment of imagination.
An apparition disrupting the peace in humanity.
You installed fear within the race.
They paced with a fury greater than your own.

Hello God,
I am alive, aren't I?
Do you believe in me?
Or am I a figment of imagination?
Eternal damnation for the apparitions I created
in my mind.
The voices that have a fury
greater than the call
of a thousand moons.

Hello God,
You aren't real, are you?
I still don’t believe in you.
You’re a figment of imagination,
an apparition living in the minds
of the eternally ******.
Disrupting the lives we fight so hard to create.
I can destroy you with a fury
greater than the illusion you bear.

Hello God,
You fear me, do you not?
Your own people believe in me.
I am no figment of imagination.
I created the apparition of you,
and disrupted the peace
by telling the ****** that you were real.
I installed all of the fear.
No one will rule with a fury greater than mine.

A soul overturned,
bodies gone cold.
Her ghost stained eyes
look into the light
of an unknown land.
She wanders alone,
hopelessly searching for something
long since forgotten.
Through the vacant desert, she glides,
as she feels rough hands come near,
a metal death she was forced to bear.
Jagged edges tearing through her.
A burned memory runs through her head,
a sad song on repeat.
This is what it’s like to be dead.
