Emily

I am only a girl.
I may look a pearl,
but I am broken inside.
I've gotten myself into trouble and lied.
I have cut my soft skin.
I have committed much sin.
I have tried my best
to only be given a crest
naming me a failure
You will never know what I had to endure.
I gave myself away.
Fighting for freedom with each given day.
What used to be pure is now broken with no cure.
I know only one way,
to end the pain, but I won't say.
The people who stopped to stare
didn't really care.
So as I write my last words in pen.
I think of what will be my end.

This is not about me though I did write this. It is for all who feel this way. I want you to know that the future it's different than the present. So don't judge it like it is.

Rambles from Your Soul

Rambles from Your Soul

Don’t feel the need to apologise,
Don’t be afraid to let go.
For I find myself mesmerised,
By the rambles from your soul.

Don't be afraid to say what's on your mind, for the one who loves you may love you more for it.

can you hear me screaming from beneath the surface?
can you help me find my way?
i am lost in the darkness, i feel worthless.
my hope has gone astray.

Hello?

Hello?
Is anybody out there?
You said you would be there
You said you would catch me
If I fell
Well I'm starting to think you lied
Because now I'm calling for help
And no one is answering my cries

Is anybody out there?

I must Die

I must Die

I've been slitting my wrist
Trying to the numb the pain of a frightful Tuesday night
It's not working
What have I become?
Never thought I would commit such
Funny enough during that moment I felt nothing
No hurt, no pain and no shame
The feelings came to haunt me when I'm in my thoughts
Every night it was the same story
I cried but it wasn't enough
Shouting for help but it fell on deaf ears
One came to save me
The razor came to save me
It's not painful when I slit it just creates an ich
The Ich makes me forget

#Theres no future for me
# I need to die

The Friend That Kills Me

The Friend That Kills Me

The friend that kills me
My friend feels my everyday pain.
To my unfulfilled desires and my dreams.
My friend is always there. Waiting on me...
After school... before school and on holidays.
I hide my friend because as much as my friend is always around, my friend is slowly killing me and I let my friend **** me.
I hide my friend so that they don't Take my friend away from me.
My friend makes me feel okay after a rough day yet my friend is deadly.
I know my friend so well that my friend made me ***** and go to hospital yet I still go running to my friend.
It's depressing how my friend is there forever waiting for me. Sometimes at night I hear
my friend whispering my name.
My friend is so addictive because my friend understands me and listens.
I am going to be killed by my friend and I'm not even afraid. Because I see my friend slowly kills me while listening to my everyday battles. One battle I won't win is the one with my friend. Cause I can't leave my friend and my friend is bad for me... my friend is the end of me.

Things are really ****** up,
You know?
A giant blue ball,
Spinning through space.
It's so simple,
Yet humans **** it up?

I'm sitting and staring.
I'm not having the time of my life.
Empty bottles and cartons.

Cigarettes are the only thing strong enough
To rid me of the coffee breath.
And coffee is the only thing strong enough
To rid me of the cigarette breath.
And the alcohol doesn't
Even allow me to care.

Never mind honey,
I don't have time.

go.

I want to grab on your feet
And make a fool of myself,
Begging you desparately to say you will never leave,
Behave irrationally.
But instead i will just lay here,
Praying you will call me yours

This doesnt make any sense but....oh well
