Cyberbully.
Lottie Feb 2015
Hello and welcome to the internet,
Where everyone is brave enough
To say what a face wouldn't,
Because looking into tears,
Makes it much harder to hate,
But a glaring screen and autocorrect,
Gives you cowardice coated in bravery.
Just a thought, everyone goes on about how its easier to tell someone they're loved if you can't actually see them but we tend to forget that the anonimity of the internet that makes people 'brave' enough to say the horrible things, even though the result is always the same. Misery.

mask?
Lottie Jan 2015
I wear no mask, no deliberate one,
I wear a smile while I'm seen,
But don't remove it because im pretending,
While you're not looking, my face falls,
But only for while I feel lonely,
The second someone speaks to me,
I'm happy again,
And when you stop, I'm lonely once more.
Chrissy, I don't have a mask

scars
Lottie Apr 2015
Whoever said scars were beautiful
Wasn't really looking.
Scars aren't meant to be pretty,
They're meant to prove something.

They prove that you have lived,
That you were hurt.
Scars show the screaming truth
That life is hard but *possible.
One of our pets got caught in some barbed wire and has obliterated his tail, chest and sides. He was stunning but is likely to have scars

That I could have you

And no one else would be allowed to touch you

Pray For Paris.

This ****** world just got bloodier,
The streets of the romance city are painted red.
Islamic state, you owned up and sound
So pleased with yourself.
How dare you.
In the name of Allah, the all loving,
You just killed people,
You did it.
Allah, who may well be benevolent,
Has nothing to do
With the blood on your hands.
This world disgusts me.

knowledge isnt a faith
Lottie Mar 2015
Isn't it adorable
That you believe
Having a faith makes
You closer to god.

If he indeed is real
He designed us
To think for ourselves
And crave knowledge.

So we found knowledge
But the stories
Noted by his kid's
Minions hold us back

Knowledge and faith
Are different things
Have faith, and knowledge
But don't **** on one thought just cause its not yours
Random religion rant :3

Until I bled my blues

borrowed light
Lottie Mar 2015
The wind blows the clouds across the sky.
As they go, they reveal the moon,
Shining down a sacred light,
A white light,
A borrowed light.

The ropes pull the curtain over our heads.
As it rises, it reveals two girls,
Grinning into blinding light,
A stage light,
A borrowed light.

The hand in yours pulls me along.
As we go, we reveal the world,
I see it through your light,
A pure light,
Perfect light.
Can either be romantic or familial, its up to you:3
The sky was really pretty when I went for a walk earlier and I wanted to tribute it somehow... No idea if it actually worked or not :p

poison
Lottie Apr 2015
It radiates out of us,
Creeping through our skin,
Out of our throats and fingers.
It kills us so slowly that we
don't notice it is pain,
When it makes us so happy
we overdose on it,
We give it to other people
Or take it all for ourselves.

Love will surely **** us.

deviant thoughts
Lottie Mar 2015
Because thinking the way you do,
Makes you upsetting and you upset.
People can't handle you
And so you can't handle you.

So then you conform
To being the right kind of odd
And your deviant thoughts
Leave everyone else alone.

So no one notices
your thoughts ripping
At the seams of your life because
**They're all having the same problem.

Thoughts on a trampoline.
Lottie Apr 2016
My body is at a desk,
While my mind is lain back
On my trampoline,
With the clear sky above me,
One night.
What a concept, a clear sky.
It means no clouds
But imagine,
If there was nothing up there
But black.

history repeats
Lottie Feb 2015
I thought we had learnt
Not to hate a race
Because they happened
to come from one place

I thought we had come
To the conclusion
That faith didn't make
You a bad person

I thought we had noticed
That being black
Didn't warrant you
Being held back

I though history
Would teach us
How to prevent this
Rather than give us ideas.
In Britain,there have been over 1000  reported cases of antisemitism,  and I don't see how people seem to think they have the right to treat others this way.

my life note
Lottie Apr 2015
Dear world,
       If you're reading this, know that I'm alive.
Life is too hard and it hurts too much.
So I accept your challenge and I will live.
And love.
And hate.
And smile.
And breathe.
My family loves me and Libby is angelic.
There's not a day goes by when I'm not
Living for them and I adore it.
So I praise chance or fate or god or whatever runs this ****
Because they gave me this chance to feel

Rips her flesh apart like paper

bottle
Lottie Apr 2015
Out in the rain,
A bottle green bottle
Fills with rain water,
While I watch, doing my homework.

Out in the rain,
The bottle green bottle
Looks sadder and sadder,
Drowning with no lid to prevent it.

Out in the rain,
That bottle green bottle
Fills right to the brim,
With water that's purer than we are.

Out in the rain,
My bottle green bottle
Overflows with a sadness,
So pure that no distraction could lid it.

headaches
Lottie Mar 2015
One's for stress
The other for sleep
This for sadness, crying
That for anger, shouting
One result
It hurts like hell
Thud goes your brain
Deep breath
Let go of the pain.

Thud, goes your brain
Sitting in class
The teacher drills
We repeat each thud
Our brains
Knocking like our fingers
Tapping atop the table
Can we go yet?

Thud goes your brain
Take paracetamol
Medicate thought
Desensitize.
Copy, repeat
Coffee, revise
Thud goes your brain
Again.
No idea if this makes aannyy sense but now, my headaches standing at three (update- now four(five (six))) days so I wanna get snippy about it

Lottie Mar 2015
I'm falling down at the same time as you
So take my hand and at least
When we hit the bottom,
We'll have something to cling to.
It won't make us rise faster
But at least we might stand a chance.
This is to anyone who's ever felt alone in their falls, be it falling into depression, stress, misery or hell, even the bath

This is kinda a tribute to my best friend cause, ya know, she's always been there:3

Bedtime story
Lottie Aug 2015
Late at night, or early morning:
The moon, a hollow reflection of day,
The blissfully ignorant lie alseep
And dream of the life they'd love to live.

The terribly knowledgeable, they lie awake,
Knowing that at night, demons come out
And howl at the souless reflection of the sun;
Knives and guns and hands.

The blissfully knowledgeable sit awake
For a time, looking and knowing the horrors
Which haunt the world but are content,
Because life is about death. And hope.

Clutter.
Lottie Sep 2015
At the eye of the storm, my mind is clear,
But zooming out, you can see that the farther
Things get from this pin ***** of perfection,
The more fragile and damageable it all gets.
Everything; big and small and imperfect.

This clutter is controllable though,
If you know how.
*I think.
Lottie Jan 2015
The desire to live as one pleases
Is not based around staying in line
Nor is it established through
Objecting to all rules you are set.

Conforming can lead you to happiness
As easily as breaking the rules
What fails to be noticed are choices
That let you decide how to live

church
Lottie Apr 2015
In our best clothes we step
Inside this building, this symbol
Of gods beauty and power but
I feel the mighty ceiling pressing
Down on my shoulders, my throat
Feels crushed by all the things I
Would normally say in god's
Sacred name. I realise that god
Wants me to to love, to breath
His healing forgiveness into the
World provided those I revive
From their lives of godless misery
Are not a different colour, a different
Gender, a different faith, race, sexuality
Because their creed and their colour
And their name will matter, he
Won't be there.
Religion rant, I'm really sorry if I offend people. My objections on the matter of faith are not to do with the followers, but rather the deity.

how to find happiness
Lottie Jan 2015
Stop looking for it
For libby
Lottie Aug 2015
We feel better when the sky owns up to the bleakness of the world; it turns grey and endless and it cries with us. We hide from the sun because it warms our skin and lies about a better tomorrow. Ice bites our noses and rattles our teeth- it makes us feel alive but it too, is swallowed by the warmth we have taught ourselves to hate. We are fighting for happiness but waiting for the warmth and the flush and the laughter to end, that we might envelope ourselves once more in our depression, anxiety and pain.
But I am tired of my cocoon of misery; this atmosphere filled with the sensation of waiting for rain. You three are my best friends. I have made an astonishing number of mistakes in my life but loving you is not one of them.

So I will wait for rain with you.

**And I will revel in the sun when you find it.
Libby, Callum and Chris. Nothing means as much to me as you three do. Nothing. We all hurt right now and I don’t know how to help so I give you this in the hopes that it gives you just a little bit of hope. I love you.

Of seasons, of time.
