This bottle is to all the
Guards I put around myself
Times I failed to love myself
Nights I always cry to myself

This blade is to all the
Long roads I have walked with you
Coffee afternoons I have shared with you
Beer bottles I have smashed with you

These pills are to all the
Dreaded school Mondays you have lightened up
Down moments from where you have picked me up
Hollow holes in my heart you have almost filled up

This day is to you
Now that everything's over between us
I'm getting over myself, too
Re-reading this today (03/27/15) and to anyone who's gonna read this, I don't have suicidal tendencies. This is plain fiction.
If you ever want to know
a friend on a deeper level
offer to sober cab.
When they do shots
watch their guards
fall down
when they fall down
help them up.

With clear eyes see
their secrets.
With your steady
tongue keep them.

Take witness to the
ones who curse you
out for trying to
switch out their *****
for water and to the
ones who apologize
over and over again
for letting this happen
again.
Tonight,
The stars won’t shine as bright as they are supposed to
The night sky will reflect the darkest possible color

Tonight,
The angry rain will pour but the raindrops won’t touch the ground
The lightning will overcome the stars but the thunder won’t follow

Tonight,
The outcry of the moon will have everyone voiceless
The heavens won’t easily clear all this mess

Tonight, as my grief takes over my body, the sky shall be with me.

Galaxies in your lips
And stars in your eyes
You're a piece of outer space
And on Earth you shine.
A celestial being
With a poisonous kiss
But dying at your hand
Is a fate I'll accept
#Margin poetry

My world will sleep tonight
without singing your melody

My dreams will take their flight
you won’t even be in any
You think I'm a weird kid,
The kid who always says hi,
The person who'll treat u like a friend,
Even when u say goodbye.

You think I'm the athletic one,
With energy bursting through my veins,
The kid who actually likes gym,
Who'll feel no pains.

You think I'm the smart kid,
Who loves school so much,
The person who can't wait to study again,
Just because I get good grades and such.

You think I'm the artsy one,
Who draws all day long,
Who can write long stories,
And turn anything into a song.

Well, you think you know,
But I know you don't you see.
Because I'm not any of these,
All of them are me.

You judge by my clothes,
You judge by my style,
You judge by my achievements,
And by my smile.

So I trick you each and everyday.
Wearing these masks in every way,
So the true me you will never betray,
And yet you say you know me-cliché
"People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. "- Isaac Asimov
I'm scared of those voices
They scream to hell
They could bring me to death
I can't let them win
But I'm just so tired
So tired of this life
Too tired to fight
I just want to let go
Close my eyes
Take a deep breath
And drift off to a never ending sleep
Cause afterall
Wasn't i born to die?
Is it dark
Is it worth to live
All I see is darkness and nothing seems to let me grin
I feel sadness runing through my blood
I cut myself to see if it hurts or not
I feel no pleasure I have no pain
All I see is a life with no gain
Nothing I want and nothing to attain
I wanted to burn myself till nothing remains
Or maybe try to be squished by a train
This is my life it is so plane filled with darkness and shame.
I enjoy seeing my blood drop and make a stain
I want to find pleasure in tourchering every part of my humain
I know I am sick I know I have no brain
But it is better to die this way
Nothing can cure this disease I attain
No force on earth can help me through the pain.
I think after all this I became insane
Nothing to love or obtain
Only death can make me saine.

Claire
it was probably a mistake
the day you swore her eyelashes were wet from the rain;
the night you promised to never belittle the importance of the sun

because here she lies,
tears precipitating,
stomach lurching
at the thought of you and
I promise you, I swear
that the sun could never shine
nearly as bright as she did
when she started
rising and
falling
for you.

you have opacified her
radiance
you have shunned her
selfless light

and she who was once a sun
is now a hopeless, spiraling
monsoon.
concerning your naivety.
