A Reverse Poem
 Jan 2019 Lily

I am ugly
And no one can convince me that
I am beautiful
At the end of the day
I hate myself in every way
I'm not going to lie to myself by saying
I am good enough
I am worthless
Don't try to convince me that
There is beauty inside of me
Because no matter what
I am not good enough to be loved
Don't tell me that
I am perfect
When I look in the mirror I know
I am ugly
And nothing you say will make me believe
I am beautiful

goodbye.

dont say

dont give up.

things will get better.

every waking minute becomes darker
and dimmer.

you need not spend your life feeling like that which you are not. feeling as though

this is the end.

for no man, need keep company with thoughts as threating as these,quietly whispering

**** yourself.

i cannot fathom that there are those among us who mock, who utter the words

you are not alone.

That is not true.

i know that for certain

Have I already told you?
that I always miss you
on a day to day basis

Have I already told you?
that I want to hold you
in this cold, lonely night

Have I already told you?
that you're all I see
in this myriad crowd

Have I already told you?
how you look so cute
when you wear that smile

Have I already told you?
that I'm slowly falling
out of love; it's driving me crazy

Have I already told you?
how lucky I am that I've found you
my one and only comfort zone

Have I already told you?
that I'm hurt with words you've said
I thought it was me all along.

But, I was wrong.
that's why I didn't tell you
what I feel about you.

Have I already told you?
how lucky that person is
to be loved by you...

It took me seven years
to realise
the words in my mind
were too deep for
my mouth to dig up
I thought it was easier
to open my skin
and let the truth
pour down my arms

It took me seven years
to realise
nobody should be allowed
to touch parts
of your home
or hold pieces  
of your heart
that you don't yet understand

It took me seven years
to realise
I will wear these scars
forever
I'll carry them
through every smile
every kiss
every concerned gaze
I'll carry them
to my grave

It took me seven years
to realise
the pain carved
into the walls
of my castle
etchings of
attempting to disappear
are not a story of weakness
but a tale of
how I survived

(read forward, then backward, line by line)

I ran.
Not knowing what else to do
There was so much blood on my hands
It was mine
The kitchen knife
Caught in my chest
Guilt
Consumed by
Fear
I was heightened by
Adrenaline
But running on
Wasn’t enough
While trying to stay calm,
Losing control
It was me that would end up
Dead. Because
He was
In front of me
The whole time
It was too late
Trapped
I found myself
Locked in chains
My fate was
Death.
Forward: from the victims perspective.
Backward: from the murderers perspective.

This TOOK ME FOREVER TO WRITE

You and I were never meant to be

And I refuse to believe that

I still love you the way I always have

I realize this may be a shock, but

From the bottom of my heart, I love you

Is really a lie

I love someone else

More than you

I will tell you this:

Once upon a time, I fell in love with you

But this never came true, because

I'll never tell you that “I do”

I think that

In the future,

We won't cross paths again

No longer can it be said that

We were destined to be together

It will be evident that

I will never be yours

It is foolish to think that

I really do love you.
