So many poems
and stories
have gone unwritten
due to fear of not being good enough

It has been 9 days since I last had a bar of chocolate; 9 days since I last saw him - alive; for 9 days he has been absent; for 9 days even the tears did not last; but for 9 days he has remained dead.

How many more days without chocolate; without him?

It feels like my wrists are burning
Blood is dripping down my arms
My head keeps screaming
I shouldn't of self-harmed.
My mom is going to be mad.
She's going to hit me again.
Give me another bruise.
Now my scars have some friends.
Just wash off the blood.
Dry off with the towel.
Wrap up your arms.
Go back to your personal bubble.
Isolate yourself for another week little girl.
Take you medicine.
And jump off the hill.
Just a little vent cause I feel icky.

He.
Writing words in his skin,
A young boy looks in the mirror.
He can no longer cry...
His chest rises and falls
Until it rises but falls no longer.
Never flat enough, he screams,
Slashing his wrists to prove he bleeds.
He wants to live... but can't
Seem to escape fate.
He was born wrong.
He doesn't look the way he wants.
He isn't right. Broken.

I am not your daughter.

look into the mirror, say "i love you"
don't know anyone in this world
who would ever want to
you can tell me different, but i'll never take it,
i'll never take it for truth

fake love.

maybe people are meant
to fall in love
but not meant
to be together.

i was coming to terms with this
only to find out
we werent in love.
i was.
you never loved me
you didnt feel anything for me
you tried to,
but loving someone isnt something
you can make happen.

we always said we were meant to be, right?
soulmates
perfect for each other
you said our love was pure
and real
and unbreakable.
look at it now,
its shattered.

falling in love with you
was the easiest thing
ive ever done.
falling out of love
will be the hardest.
i guess the [lovers] code has been cracked.

Where oh where is it in me
you still reside,
where is it you still hide,
irony in it's full stride
sees an outsider
on the mirror's inside.
I am but a corpse of our dead kin,
this is how it has always been
and always will be.

Humans are like a web
A spider of misfortune our inventor
It’s hairy legs tickle us
Like strings we vibrate from our core
No sweet cord
Because that is the orchestra of life
A low, slow hum
And the giggle of a chime here and there
Just to make the grand finally
Worth something more
