Sick
Not the kind of sick that can be cured by prescriptions.
No amount of sleep can cure it.
The diagnostic isn't a cold or the flu.
This is the kind of sick that stays with you forever.
Even after it leaves you ,
You will always remember.
This is not something that will go away over night or a few days.
Closing your eyes doesn't make it hurt any less.
The pain is more the skin-deep.

you
There's something so powerful and beautiful in your voice.
It's like an old map that found new worlds.
Like a summer breeze with that sweet smell of your cologne.
I can't stand when I can't have you like I want you.
The look in your eyes when you talk about the things you love.
The light inside you could light the universe.
I wish only the best for you.
Now that you are no longer mine all I want is a smile from you.

I'm trying, I swear
it all comes at once
like a tidal wave
crashing and destroying
all in its wake.

what is there to do?
try swimming and become
****** under.

or give up
and give yourself
to the ever flowing current.

I guess life is all about
the choices and decisions
we choose to make.

and I guess in my life
I'm choosing to swim and fight.

but if that's so,
why does it feel
like I'm constantly

I can't help but be sad
I woke up after the worst dream.
(I was 16 and dying. Not from disease but from myself.)
I looked in the mirror and saw this girl who wasn't who she thought she was.
I saw the 16 year old me.
The one who hated everything about herself.
From her scars to her weight to her stupid fake date.
She hated her life.
She took the pain away with one single blade.
She took her life in the night so she was sure no one would interrupt.
Except her mother woke up from a terrible dream of her daughter dead.
Only to find that it wasn't a dream and it wasn't all in her head.
She dialed 911 as she held her close.
Now 11 year old me is seeing a ghost.
A ghost of a girl just 16 years old, dead in her mothers arms because she was never told how cruel the world is.

Treading Water
When I was 7 I learned how to tread water.
It didn't take long for me to catch on.
I've been treading water for 10 years now.
It's hard to keep your head above water when the waves are this heavy.
It's even harder to keep your head above water when you want to drown.
There's no one to save you if you sink.
There isn't any warning for a wave.
You just keep treading.
