Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Brittle nails
Thin hair
Heart pounding
Growling stomach
Broken heart
Longing for starvation
Of my emotions
That i keep so hidden
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Love soft
Love kind
Hate love
Sweet love
Love is complicated
Very hard to find
Even more difficult to keep
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
This is me
As raw as i can be
Feeling like a zombie day after day
Not eating
Waiting for the number to change
Stuck in my false reality
That i will ever be pretty
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I didn't mean
For this to get out of hand
I just wanted to be in control
Maybe even become popular
I'm not meaning to hurt you
At all
I just honest to god
Can't stop
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
One, two, three
Hold my breath
Slice my skin
One, two, three, four
Blood pooling on the floor
Starting to sting
Starting to feel my emotions
On my skin
Lost in a cut
Lost in blood
Moment of calm
Before the storm
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Your warm embrace
Words wrapped up in a blanket
Trying to not let them enter the world
Secrets and lies
That's me
She doesn't mean it
This isn't her
Trust me
She's not this kind of girl
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I never want you to feel
Like i don't love
And care for you
I love you
And want you all to know
This isn't me
A demon has taken me away
And refuses to set me free
I'm sorry
I might not physically show it
But i love you with all my heart
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Lost in a society's version of beauty
I'm sorry i'm not beautiful
I feel terrible for not living up
To anyone's expectations
I'm not deserving of love
No one stays here
With me
They always leave
I don't understand
Leave me alone
I'm meant to be alone
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
The devil is in your ear
By your side
The devil is strong
And so incredibly evil
It's really scary
Being watched
24/7
If i disobey
Or do something wrong
I'm scared of being filled
With poison
Having Murphy
Splattered
All over the walls
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Summer
Hot concrete
Ice cream drips off the child's arm
Water splashing
She hides her demons
With a smile
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Living for bones
Living to ffeel
Living to feel anything at all
Living to endure pain
Living to find a way
To numb all the pain
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
We feel numb to the things we see
Over and over again
I'm numb to the feeling of comfort
Destruction is comforting
Therefore
I'm numb to the fact
That this could very well take me
The only thing that comes to mind
Is a strong desire to comfort
So used to numbing my emotions
By bones and a scale
That seems to be with me
The moment i can open my eyes
And see the sunlight through
My bedroom window
The lingering thought
In the back of my mind
I cannot be like this forever
I will soon discover what it's like
To take the wool off my eyes
With my eyes open
To learn to be content
With living happy and healthy
Soon figuring out
That i no longer
Need a reason to numb
The thing i thought was horrifying
Happens to be the thing
That unlocks the change
From a life praying for my last breath
My last sentence would be
"At least i'm finally skinny"
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I want to be thin
To see my bones
Having people wonder
In fear
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I most deeply want to find
Love and friendship
When i would understand
If they didn't
The little voice in my head whispers
"You don't deserve to be loved"
"They're only putting on a act, they're just pretending"
I'm scared to get close to anyone
They always find a way to slowly
Slip away from what we once were
Because that's all
I've ever known
I'm sorry
I might leave you
Before you leave me
It's easier that way
So i don't have to endure the disappointment
Once again
Murphy Lynne Nov 2014
Maybe i'm just meant to be
This way
Meant to go to all lengths
To destroy my beloved soul
Murphy Lynne Aug 2014
Lost in my thoughts oh, very destructive thoughts
All consuming all destructive they never leave
I don't think i want them too
They are my invisible saviors, my little secret
Where no one else can take them away
Broken and scarred lost in my deep and dark thoughts
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Like i said many times before
I'm done
Everyone acts like they know me
It turns out
They know absolutely nothing
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Hold up
I didn't expect this
Life is moving
At lightning speed
I don't process change well
This is all happening too fast
Want to travel back in time
Where i was innocent and a baby
Hold up
A little girl grew up too fast
All it took was once
I'll never be the same
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Tired
Tired of being sick
Tired of being tired
Tired of being weighed down
By the weight of the world
I'm sick and tired
Of being imperfect
I'm sorry
I don't understand myself
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
No one can change
The connection we had
I feel guilty
I didn't say i love you
Before your body
Turned to ash
I want you to know
I love for eternity
I always do
I always will
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Slowly going down
I thought
This would help me
Someway
Somehow
I've become lost
Nowhere to be found
This is all too much
Need to relieve
My thoughts
That have been
Haunting me
For so long
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Conflicting emotions
Over this thing called
Recovery
One minute
Wanting to break free
In a couple of hours
It changes
Into wanting to stay
In the safe arms
Of destruction
To the behaviors
I crave the most
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I'm a toxic person
I hate myself
You don't understand
I want to crawl into a hole
I'm embarrassed of myself
Nobody likes me
Everyone *******
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Please go away
I'm toxic
Please go away
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
People trapped in boxes
Others free from turmoil
Some of us aren't so lucky
Drowning in turmoil
Day after day
Annoyed at life
Hate life
Nothing worth
The time of day
Day in and out
Food
Day in and out
Darkness surrounding
Like the grim reaper
Hate myself with deep passion
Go away
I'm not worth your time
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Heavy hands
Choking me
Telling me not to speak
Hands wrapped up
Can't move
Can't speak
Locked in a room
Where i'm stuck
With my thoughts
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I'm sorry
Don't you see?
Were two pieces
Of a broken heart
Can't you see i need you
Please don't go
I don't want to lose
Everything we had
I'm sorry
Murphy Lynne Aug 2014
Unbearable pain
Unbearable emotions
This is where the blade comes in
Draining the toxins
Slowly but surely
Now feel numb
Like when you're put under the surgery
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Demi's love
Is like a star
She's always there
She's our warrior
When we don't have armor
Murphy Lynne Aug 2014
Love is in the air
People care so much
I often don't understand why
But i'm so thankful
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Undeserving souls
Scattered around like roaches
Don't want you
My hearts broken enough
I don't need you
Undeserving souls
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I want to cut
This unlovable soul
Inside of me is breaking
Need relief from my demons
Holding me under
I can finally breathe
Murphy Lynne Oct 2014
Crazy humans
All around
How can i trust?
When everyone
Flips like a dime
Two sides of them
Never the same
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I'm not worthy of love
Scared to live
Drowning into the abyss
Being held down
Can't find my way
Back up
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Vultures all around me
Waiting to attack
Break open the flesh
Open my hurting heart
To catch the demon
That's been consuming
My soul for so long
Murphy Lynne Oct 2014
Forever waiting
To find comfort
In the scale
Going down
Forever going down
Or staying just the same
Waiting for someone
To see evidence
Of my prolonging pain
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I've succumbed to this image
In my head
Someone more beautiful
More popular
That i will ever be
Jealous of my brother
Outgoing and fun
Everyone says i'm shy
And quiet, I'm sorry
I know all of you want me
To resemble his friendly personality
I just wish to be him
With no problems keeping friends
I'm sorry
I'm not like him
War
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
War
Internal war
In my mind
All day
Every day
Have to obey ED
Or something bad will happen
Orders to obey
Numbers to calculate
Miles to run
Food to either throw away
Or scarf down
In a certain amount of time
Have to obey him
Can't risk
Something terrible happening
Way easier
To give in
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Weakness of my body
Weakness of my heart
Love has disappeared
Love of my life
Ran away faster
Than i could say
"I love you"
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Weightless
As a feather
Empty
Weightless
Everyone afraid
I will fly away
Weightless
Is what i crave
With my heart
As hollow
As my bones
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Where do i go from here?
Everyone seems to wonder
What their next destination
Will turn out to be
Destinations are unplanned
They're many people who fear
Their unexpected destination
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Heaven or hell?
Which do i choose?
I'm not sure i believe
Whatever that means
God is dead
While the devil is wide awake
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Why would you want to leave?
I'm bleeding
I'm breaking
You slowly fading memories
I want you to stay
Where i'm safe with you
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
All i want to do
Is to eat
Like a normal human
I don't understand
Why they chose me
To get trapped
By this evil
Blood *******
Weight obsessed
Demon
In my head
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Winter is cold leaves
Falling off the tree
Warm gloves
and children playing
I'm inside destroying
My ragged broken soul
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Winter girls
I'm a winter girl
I don't know
What you are doing
Is evil
Go away
Go away
Murphy Lynne Aug 2014
Faces light up
Filled with delight
As they see me genuinely happy
and not numb to my emotions
and they see me as a happy girl
When i'm actually living
Not just surviving
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Summer
Summer is laying by the pool
Hanging out with friends
Summer
Escaping from the hell
Called school
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
I wonder
What will happen next?
Walking on eggshells
To my next destination
Constantly wonder
What will happen
Fear and constant wonder
To experiment with
It will all be okay
As long as we don't fear wonder
Into our minds
Everything will all be okay
Murphy Lynne Sep 2014
Two worlds collide
Stuck in the motion
We can't choose both
My own world
Reality
Does not mix
Leave my world
My world
Isn't like any other
