I want to **** myself
That is as simple as it gets
Until then smiles all around
I need to let someone know, but I don't trust anyone to believe me. If I told anyone in my life I want to **** myself, they'd scoff, they'd say I'm fine, or they'd tell me to shut up, and stop asking for attention. They wouldn't take me seriously, and I'm done being treated like nothing I say has meaning.

Sitting by the phone
sipping my iced tea

waiting for your call
to reassure me

that you got home safe
and there's no worries
w/ ice cubes and a fancy straw
I'll wait all night if I have to

could you tell me why the average man
  is more willing to give a cigarette
  to a beggar on the street,

over the dollar in his pocket or the shoes on his feet,
  when he has two more pairs at home
  and his bank account is comfy?
no really
D Sep 2019
i could write about all the ways
my heart calls to his
in the middle of the night
when were miles apart..
i could and yet still
all i can think about is
how her smile still sits pretty
in his heart..
stop it already
D Mar 2014
It's far too bright, too loud
I need to sleep somewhere without a sound
Close my eyes, just block it out
I need to sleep six feet underground
D Nov 2019
he doesnt get it, how do i tell him i think about if hes talking to her specifically at least once a day, if not more, knowing full well he will in fact talk to her at least one of those days, and knowing that he will try to ignore the excitement but ultimately it would fill him and he will again wonder how far he can take it? i'm laying in his arms but hes not holding me, a star fish sleeper, the best time to confirm every voice screaming in my head is right, and theyre right, and i can feel the distance between us like a sickness in my veins, and he can feel it too but he wont open his eyes to the truth of why this distance keeps us at odds. i'm ******* tired. so is he. the difference is, i dont sleep.

you wanna fall in love
with the girl behind the bar
the one with her shirt hanging low

she has that look in her eyes
that says she's down for the ride
and a body that makes you go slow
do you know her?

the snow lays thick

atop the dirt

frozen wastelands

something stronger than ****
is all that I need
to get myself to open up
that part of me, which
until now has always been
shut..

somewhere there's a place I belong
a house down a long road
with the person who
brings me peace
when all I am is
chaos.
well worn or off the beaten path?
D May 2015
This was never part of the plan
To fall for a boy who looked like a man
Who knew my life would play out this way
Now all there is to do is wait, because let's face it,
*All boys grow up someday
D Apr 2017
the day will come
when I wont feel the need
to check up on you

sooner than I could have hoped
D Jul 2018
she's leaving

highways and high seas, she's crossing them all
achieving her dreams while shouting
at the top of her lungs **** everyone
and she laughs

because she's leaving her past behind her at last
she's going to be climbing mountains and laughing for the rest of her life and I feel happy for her but sad at the same time
D Jul 2015
I think you ripped an artery,
‘cause now it seems my heart wont beat,
It’s like the air is starving me,
because it feels so hard to breathe,
You ripped away a part of me,
and then you just discarded me,
And left me, looking far too pleased,
to see me scarred and on my knees,
I’ve realized it’s hard to bleed,
when you find your hearts deceased,
But now its not so hard to see,
you were a cancer harming me
Not mine, not sure who wrote it though.
D May 2017
no, i'm probably not okay
but does it really matter?
my life is spinning, and
what i was once so sure of
is now a fleeting possibility
and everything else is chaos
i imagine myself in a spiders web
every issue i have is sticky
and connected to the rest
all working in unison to keep me
from passing this test that we call life
-- what if i'm holding you back?
D Mar 2017
If this is me
If I just keep
Claiming that
I'm ready
That this is real
Then turn around
And feel
The things I do
With the thoughts
I push deep
Down into my
Subconscious
Am I really 'me?'
Or am I something
Else entirely?
How many people
Live inside my head
To make me question
Who I am
Daily?
too many
D Mar 2017
a self inflicted isolation
all to avoid the confirmation
    that I simply don't belong
a lonely standoffish girl
forced into a community world
     silently screaming 'this is wrong!'
the future isn't worth the shame
     no ones even asked my name
and it would be weeks before
     they'd notice I've gone
well, two asked.

starlight dimensions
shine brilliantly tonight
but they're not alright
even starlight needs time to shut off
D Sep 2019
i've never met you and yet
i know that your soul is made of starlight
and at night i glimpse your rays arching through the skies
searching, ever searching for the warmth of another starlit soul
with which to collide

it hurts to watch it unfold
your shine instead collides with rock and darkness
siphoning parts of you away and yet still you light up the world
giving, always giving every inch of your being until your starlight fades to grey
for a friend light years away, you are beautiful all on your own, and everyone who meets you and doesnt immediately see your light and worth are crazy to live in darkness - i love you dearly, and i pray that one day your soul will find its matching star to collide with, making the most beautiful display of light and color the worlds ever seen
D Feb 2019
it's kinda sad now really,
that such a fleeting feeling,
can mean so much the moment that it fades

and i'm really quite agreeing,
to the words that could be meaning,
that it's up to me whether I choose to go or stay
i choose to stay
D Mar 2020
the trees are burning
and the worlds a turning
toilet paper cannot be found

we're sick of the struggle
we stay in and snuggle
pray we make it safe and sound
i'm scared of a lot rn and how i am going to pay my rent and bills is definitely top of the list as my work has shutdown :( stay safe everyone, wash your hands and stay inside if you can. we all have a part to play.
D May 2016
I'm still mad at you
for getting on with your life
unlike mine
stuck in time

I'm still mad at you
for all of your success
unlike me
a total mess

And all I want is to be your friend
once again
but I cant

And I know I'm not alone
just gotta pick up the phone
call a few people and
they'll be there

But its not them who understand
no one knows me like you can
I cant explain it
And I really hate it
*sing song voice*
D May 2017
and when it becomes too much
you're there

with your arms stretched wide
ready to embrace my pain
for me

because without you I'd be
crippled in my anxiety
so thank you
D Jan 2017
I want to get ******.
No, it's not addictive,
**** cures cancer,
Didn't you read that?
I read it somewhere,
But I don't remember.
What was that thing,
From last December?
I want to get ******,
and quiet my mind.
Smoke a bowl and chill,
Until it's almost alright.
probably high
not confirmed
D Apr 2017
so i take another hit and lose my mind
my lungs filling with ashes this time
D Aug 2015
Tell me I'm dreaming
When I look upon your face
Your smile is dazzling
Your eyes hold my gaze

And for a moment I'm trapped
Between seconds that refuse
To pass, because they too
See me looking at you
Even time is stopped by your charming self
D Apr 2017
Through pouring rain
And winds that howl
She begs of him to, sit a while
The two lay back, relaxing in tune
Feeling the chill in the air
of the crisp early June
That's the life, she whispers
He can see goosebumps,
rising on her chest
His own heart quickens
As her hand slips into his
It's wet -- but what isn't?
It's warm, an unexpected blessing
She feels nothing, save for him
He feels cold, but it's worth it
D Jul 2018
The riverboat floats
Following the stream
To your mind; a dream
Let it take you where it wants to
D May 2017
I feel like I've finally got the answer
as to why I'm so messed up,
though it doesn't help in the slightest
because here I am, still stuck.
knowing doesn't make it better
only worse
D Oct 2015
I want quiet
With no one around

But I'm stuck in this
over populated world
wishing someone would
**** me now

and it ***** because
I'm somewhere between
not giving a ****
and crying
i need help
D Jan 2014
Am I turning into one of those girls?
You know the ones I'm talking about―
The ones who make excuses for their bruises,
And hide the marks on their neck with pretty scarves?

Am I becoming the girl who I always said I'd never be?
I watched my mom growing up, strong and independent.
She always said "You know, you're a lot like me."
But am I really? I'm not sure anymore..

Oh look, a new one. My first thought
Is how to hide it from sight.
The second is what I'll say
If somehow my sweater rides up too high.

And the third is what will happen
If they don't believe my lie?
What will I tell them then?
Whatever happens, I mustn't cry.

No, I can't cry.
If I do, everyone will know
Know what I'm hiding
Behind all the baggy clothes

Secrets so dark, Monsters are scared;
Scratches so deep, no doctor would dare;
Black and blue bruises― my permanent paint,
Stained to my skin, forever more shall be taint.

And yet..
After this horrifying discovery
I still love him, don't I?
Of course I do..

And still..
I'll cover my body with his sweatshirt,
Not uttering a single word.
Because I can't lose you..
D Jul 2016
-

You had the perfect shield
I never stood a chance
Your sunglass protection
From my halfhearted glance
I wanted to say something
But I couldn't see your face
Instead I wrung my hands
And quickly walked away
She was outside waiting for a ride, I walked past and our silence was our goodbye
D Jan 2020
the way that the sun
sets the world a-fire,

it's my only desire,
to be touched by his light
sun so hot it'll melt your popsicles
D Mar 2017
I'm a sinner
my pleasure derived
from torturing those
that are barely alive
I mean me
D Mar 2014
When I'm sad,
I put on the sweater you bought me
It's still so soft, almost like brand new

Lately though,
I find myself wearing it a lot more
These heavy turn of events, all leading back to you
D Apr 2014
I'm sweet and loving on the outside,
I'm a flower; a soft, pretty thing,
I'm very kind to most everyone I encounter,
Even those who, harm, bring.

However, inside is a different matter,
Too dark for flowers to grow,
Images dance of blood and ******,
The dance of screams is sweet and slow.
D Apr 2019
i wont let you keep on reading,
keep on seeing and peeping,
let you keep on being
a little tom;

boy you sure know how
to push every button somehow,
but hey this is getting kinda long;

now don't go getting greedy,
after all you love the feeling
of knowing you're her --
-- at least this time around.
the role of *her* is a fate set in stone; alone.
D Nov 2014
Take a minute
To reflect, to remember
All you use to be, who you were
Then throw it away
Cast it aside
Take a lighter and watch it burn
D Oct 2015
Stand tall and unafraid
As we take back the night
Do not fear the darkness
For it's only lacking light
Let your light shine through you
And guide you through the terror
These men do not rule the world
Just because they see us as fairer
We are mighty and as one
We will overcome
Together, we'll set a blaze so bright
Together, we'll take back the night
for all the women who don't feel safe walking the streets on their own. WE SHOULD'NT HAVE TO BE AFRAID! STAND TOGETHER AND TAKE BACK THE NIGHT!
D Feb 2015
It's that look in your eyes
Right before you kiss me
How your lips feel against mine
It's the way that it tasted
Like water after too many days of going thirsty
It's the way you drew me in
With that smile, ever lasting
D Jul 2018
this is a story of her fall into submission
she wasn't aware of her inhibitions
until she lost them and forgot to miss them..

she bought into the idea that she was broken
tainted and hopeless
until she met a man who cut her fears wide open
D May 2014
Tell me all your secrets!
Tell me all your lies!
Tell me all the reasons
You never said goodbye..

Tell me all your secrets!
Tell me all your pain!
Tell me all the reasons
You tried to forget my name..

Tell me why your angry!
Tell me why your scared!
I'll tell you all the reasons
You've broken me beyond repair..

Tell me why your angry!
Tell me why your scared!
I'll tell you all the answers
For why I'm not there..
D Mar 2017
don't tempt me or tease me
I give in too easy

I wish my looks were worthy of envy
And my voice could turn heads
I wish my thoughts weren't so scary
But that's just who I am

I'm only sort of pretty
When you glance the right way
When the lightings off and my mask is on
Which doesn't happen everyday

My singing, can't you hear it
You start to cry at the sound
Not because it's unbelievable
But because it's terrible and loud

My mind, I'm not sure I could fix it
It's been this way since I was nine
Lost on my own in a world of shadows and hate
Forced to lie and say I'm fine

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your looks are worthy of envy
Because I do it everyday
Your voice does turn heads
Because it's strong and knows what to say

So what if your thoughts are scary
That's okay with me
Because you're still the greatest person
Someone could ever meet

And you're not just only pretty
You're beautiful to me too
And you don't have to only look the right way
To see that it's true

When you sing I don't cry at the sound
It's not terrible, it's unbelievable
And just being honest here it is sort of loud
But you're my sister so don't even frown

And so what if your mind is different
It's been that way since you were nine
And no one has asked you to change it
So don't even try
First one is a song I wrote myself, and the second one is what my 14 year old sister wrote in response to seeing my lyrics. I just found them last night when I was cleaning my room. I started tearing up, just because of all the sweetness in it. I love you Sara <3
D May 2015
I want to thank you,
For all the years spent
Helping me to discover who I wish to be,
And who I never want to be again
D Sep 2015
All artists are born with magic in them,
They use it to create beautiful things out of thin air
Though I've found that none could ever compare
To that of the wonders by your hands

You were born to shape the world
To twist and bend it to your design
I was surprised when you choose me as your canvas
Molded me to perfection and titled it 'Mine'



You once told me that I was your muse
A body so full of untapped beauty
That it was criminal to hide

I told you I know I'm not much
But I'm all yours, so take me
And rearrange me into something worth your love



You made me feel beautiful and I loved the attention
You told me to close my eyes and use my imagination
And when you gave me wings and told me to fly
I did so without any hesitation



If I would've just opened my eyes
I would've seen the truth
An artist lives off the high of creation
And once they've finished they're through

While my back was turned
And I prepared to take the fall
You were off to find another canvas
Another muse to use up
